brigantine Acadian, Capt.Terrio, from Waterford, Ireland, bound to New York, was spoken, short of provisions, yesterday off Sambro by a pilot boat, which supplied her.She reported, December 12th, during a heavy gale, a seaman named E.Bushe, belonging to Quebec, fell overboard and was drowned.A survey was held by the Portwarden today on the steamer Golden Horn, which put in here yesterday with her propeller ont of order.He recommended the discharge of the after portion of the cargo in order to get at the propeller to repair it.The steamer Baron Shelborne, which sailed from Annapolis to-day for London, took a cargo of 7,500 barrels of apples.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014œ\u2014 MoNTREAL, December 21, \u2014Advices from Corry, Pa., state that it is said A.Harris, dry goods, who recent] failed, lost $40,000 by speculating in oil.~The Beaver Line Steamship \u201c Lake Huron,\u201d from Liverpool on the 9th inst., arrived at New York this morning, All well.\u2014A Dutch engineer is applying for a grant from the Prusaian Government to aw up plans of a canal uniting Cologne and Antwerp, The Chamber of Commezce of Cologne.is supporting his application.\u2014We observe that the United States Government are making great preparations for the proper representation of that country at the exhibit of food fish to be iven in London next year.Congress as made a liberal appropriation for the purpose, and the work is being done under the direction of Prof.Band, whose exhibits at the Centennial and at the Berlin Exposition two years ago attracted so much attention, \u2014The Inverness Courier states that a firm of shipbuilders on the Clyde have secured an order from the Canada Pacific Syndicate for four new steamers to be built of steel, and although of a construction to steam 13 knots regularly, yet to be capable of facing any gale on the Canadian lakes, for which they are required.A curious feature in connection with their building is that after the vessels are constructed, they will be taken to pieces for transportation to Canada in sections.\u2014The Brenton, Montana, Record says: \u2014*\u201cThe North-West Territory is, without doubt, one of the finest wheat countries in America, for stock raising it is equally unsurpassed.It is also provided with practically unlimited coal mines, containing an article of fuel much superior to any yet discovered in Montana, It has abundant evidence of mineral wealth, which, with the advent of the Canadian Pacific next year, will alone bring a tide of immigration greater than that which flocked to California, Montana, or the Black Hills.\u201d \u2014The great trade in matches would require, perhaps, the intellect of a Babbage to wrestle with the statistics.That 60;- 000,000 are burned every day in Europe seems below the mark, Some firms, such as Messrs.Dixon, at Manchester, turn out 9,000,000 a day, and many in London 2,- 000,000 or 3,000,000.The consumption of phosphorus for the purpose in England and France shows that about 250,000,000,- 000 a year are turned out in these two countries alone.In America, where, as in France, there is a tax on matches, by which great grist is thus brought to the mill.the stamps show an outturn of about 400,000,000;000, so at present.matchmaking is not the speciality of America, though the taxflyields about £700,000 a year to the revenue.There is a great protest, however, inst this tax in-the nited States, whic amounts to 13d per box, though not from the same absurdity sentimental reasons that were here urged in 1870.\u2014A new and cheap process has been invented for the manufacture of hydrogen on a large scale.Peat, wood, lignite or other semi-vegetable substances capable of furnishing by destructive distillation a light carburetted hydrogen are heated in a retort, and the gas given off is transmitted through a layer of quick-lime, which withdraws the carbon from its union with the hydrogen, to leave the latter pure, Except for the fact that the uses of hydrogen are so few, thts process would be of great importance, and it will at least be of service hereafter in promoting and facilitating experimentsfin aerial navigation, for which it has been generally necessary, on account of the great cost of hydrogen generated in the old-fashioned way, by decomposing acidulated water with zinc, to use ordinary illuminating as, a substance more than ten times as eavy, and requiring the use of balloons of ten times the sige, to obtain a given ascensive force, that would be acquired if they could be filled with pure hydrogen.It is possible also that the oxy-hydrogen blow-pipe, the most important materials for which can now he procured so cheaply on a large scale, may come finto more extensive use.FINANCIAL, 3er The-failure of the Rochester City Bank and the Jeffersonÿ (Ohio) second National Bank which we announced yesterday morning, has caused no small amount of uneasiness in New York and other trade centres.Already report comes from Vicson New York, that W.C.Moore's banking house in that city hasbeen forced to put up the shutters on account of the failure of the Rochester City Bank.Moore's liabilities are estimated at $100,- 000.Further advices state that Moore assigned about $50,000 assets to Josiah Upton., There are about 1,200 depositors, seventy of whom show up balances of $35,000.The greatest excitement prevails.Business men doubtif the Bank will pay ten cents.on the dollar.It is said the Bank held $75,000 of Rochester\u2019s peper.The City Bank operating under State laws, had a capital of about $200,- 000, and reported surplus of about $20,- + re \u2014 ee VOL.LXXIV.\u2014No.305.= MONTREAL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1882.= PRICE, THREE CENTS.000.The deposits of the City Bank were { probably $300,000 ; a year or so ago they were about $500,000.The officers of the American Exchange express the opinion that the liabilities of the City Bank to depositors will all be liquidated.The Money Market here remains unchanged at 7 @ 74 for prime mercantile paper and 64 @ 7 for call and short dated loans on stoeks bonds and other colla- terals The market for Sterling Exchange is a fraction

bullion gone into the Bank of England on balance yesterday was £50,000.: Notwithstanding the bank failures, the Money and Stock markets in New York showed very little disturbance.During the forenoon money was 5 per cent.on call on stock collaterals, and 3 per cent.on Governments.Time loans and prime mercantile paper were unchanged.The Stock market was stronger.The mpve- ment was without other features than those incidental to the brokers\u2019 or traders market.\u201c Wall street\u201d gossip is to the effect that some of the shrewd traders in the market are afraid to do anything.They say to sell lhe market short in the face of a promise of easy money in the immediate future _is rash, while to buy the market is dangerous when \u2018the movements of great operators are so uncertain, A well known and conservative broker said the market is strong, because stocks are in the hands of large operators, but no outside buying can be looked for at present, as merchants are short of money, but after the January disbursements they will come in when money will be more plentiful.There is a better feeling in Louisville and Nashville on information that the condition of the company is better than is generally supposed on the street.Rumors are current that a drive will be made at Western Union by \u201cbears\u201d and opponents of the company.There is a rumor of a guarantee of the first mortgage bonds of the South- Western roads by Missouri Pacific.The \u201c bearish\u201d element in the \u201c street\u201d advances the idea that the Congressional investigations of Pacific and other subsidized roads may cause an uncertain feeling in regard to their stocks which would tend to depress the general market for a time.The \u201cbulls\u201d say indications are that the public already shows a disposition to enter into the market as investors and that prices will be advanced by the leaders within a few days sufficiently to introduce an outside speculative element.The local stock market to-day was not quite so firm as yesterday.Bank of Montreal opened at 1973 and sold down to 197 @ 197}.Ontario were transacted at 110 @ 110}.Peoples were steady at 85 @ 864.A round amount of

returned to New York yesterday afternoon after spending several days in the city.\u2014Ten new Wagner drawing-room cars and eight sleepers were last week added to the rolling stock of the Boston & New York Short Line Company.\u2014Mr.J.A.Greer, general freight agent of the Michigan Central, will, it is announced, be general freight agent for the consolidated Michigan Central and Canada Southern.\u2014The Toledo.Cincinnati & St.Louis Railroad officials are confident that the unsubscribed balance of the $800,000 which they are endeavouring to obtain, will be secured this week.\u2014The earnings for the second week in December of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore.& Western road were $18,234.as against $13,820 for the corresponding week last year.Increase for 1882, $4,414.\u2014No conference has been held as yet by the Directors of the Eastern and Boston & Maine roads relative to the leasing f the former.The report that the Maine Central might lease the Eastern is pronounced absurd by a prominent official, the Eastern already owns the control of the Maine Central.\u2014The notice of application to Parliament to allow the Montreal, Ottawa and Western Railway Company to amend its charter, is made so as to permit the Comany to extend its line from the parish of Et Agathe, in the district of Terrebonne, towards Lake Nominigue, the village of Notre Dame\u2019 Du Desert, on the Gatineau River, and to Lake Nipissing, and also to change its name.\u2014A special despatch from Philadelphia states that the committee appointed a short time ago for the purpose of devising a method by which the Reading road could be taken out of the hands of the receiver will hold an important meeting this afternoon, and it is said that a statement will probably be issued on Thursday.The directors of the road will hold a meeting to-morrow.\u2014À tetegram received here says the storage car on train 19 New York and Chicago Railway Post-Office with all its contents was burned at 2 o\u2019clock on Thursday morning, two miles west of \u2014_\u2014 Schenectody.It contained mostly newspaper mail for Toledo and Wabash connection, but also part of the paper mail from New York for the West, also probably much of the European mail brought by the steamers \u201c Bothnia,\u201d \u201c City of Chester \u201d and \u201c St.Laurent.\u201d , The estimated receipts for to-morrow | were 98 cars spring wheat, 67 winter, 434 ! corn, 112 oats, 36 barley, and 168 rye.\u201cThe Chicago Board will adjourn tomorrow (Friday) at 1 p.m.until 9.30 am.on Tuesday, December 26.Wheat in New York was weak, and | - jt \u2014It is reported that the Eastern Rail.ic to fc lower at 3.10 p.m., when prices road people profess to have no anxiety : about securing a lease of the Boston, Revere & Lynn.Before thé recent cut in ; passenger rates, the Eastern offertd and the narrow-gauge refused a rental of 7.per cent.The latter corporation de- i mand d 8 per cent, but after the war was | fairly open, the Eastern running five-cent ' trains to Lynn, and forcing them to do the same, they offered to take 7 per; cent, and it was then the Eastern\u2019s turn : to becoy.Whether the latter corporation would accept such an offer now or not is not stated by its officers.We observe it stated by a Boston ex- | change that the progress towards a rati- | fication of the plan for a reorganization , of the Central Vermont finances is so : rapid that the officials are confident of its complete success.thir come in and a large share of the Vermont & Canada.As the time fixed for: the consummation of the arrangements\u2014 if ratified by a majority of the bond- holders\u2014is January 10, itis expected that the influx of bonds during the next few days will be very rapid.Bonds will, however, be received after that date, till all are in.\u2014Very little information seems to exist regarding the reported break between the Bennington & Rutland and Troy & Boston roads, by which southern business from the former is to be sent over the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel & Western, Delaware & Hudson, and Hudson River roads, as alleged.Dr.Estes Howe Treasurer of the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel &.Western, disclaims any official knowledge of the proposed change, though he had heard of it as a rumour.A well- informed railroad official says it is simply a fight against Dan Robinson, President of the Troy & Boston, and but a new feature in the incessant bickerings of the half-dozen or so little roads that control a few miles of track, each converging at the intersection of Massachusetts, Vermont and New York.\u2014The 21st annual report of the Maine Central Railroad in the exhibit presented of the traffic for the year ending September 30, 1882, shows a gratifying increase over that of years immediately preceding.The gross transportation earnings have increased from $1,465,458.52 in 1879 to $2,077,094.18 ig 1882, or at the rate of $4,187 per mile f 70 and $5,934 per mile for 1882.e earnings for the past year show an increase of $200,016.25 over 1881, or 15 9-10 per cent.increase in passenger earnings and 6 3-10 per cent.upon freight business.The directors further state, owing to local reasons, our freight earnings did not exhibit last year as large a proportional increase as in years preceding, but the freight business at the present time is only limited by our ability to sup- Ply rolling stock.\u2014Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in a letter published in the Boston Advertiser gives the results of a personal examina- mination by him of the Union Pacific Railroad.He endorses the property highly, and states that its resources and those of the country it traverses have eatly increased.The whole result of is investigation, Mr.Adams says, has satisfied him of the investment value of this property and he wants to see the control of it in New Englend.The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Union Pacific constitute together the broad way of the continent.So far as occupying the country is concerned, the policy the company is pursuing, he says, 1s a thoroughly sound ome.Its surplus earnings have for years been invested, \u2018| and are now being invested in feeders.\u2014 PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS MoNTREAL, December 21.Frour\u2014The prolonged absence of demand and accumulating stocks have given buyers a marked advantage, of which, however, they do not avail themselves, all grades being alike neglected.Values are weak, and to-day receded all round, without inducing business, to do which holders would be forced to submit to lower figures.On \u2019Change hardly anything was done, the only sale reported being 100 barrels spring extra at $4.70.We quote :\u2014 Superior Extra, per bri\u2026 $4.80 @ $4.85 Extra Superfins.\u2026 4.70 @ 475 Fancy.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.0.00 @ 0.00 Spring Extra.4.70 @ 4.75 Superfine.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.440@ 445 Strong Bakers (Canadian).5.25 @ 5.40 Strong Bakers (American).6.25 @ 6.75 Fine.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026rouse 8.0@ 400 Middlinge .\u2026\u2026.\u2026 .3702 380 Pollards.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.850@ 3.65 Ontario bags, (medium).2303 235 \u201c (spring extra).20@ 2% 6 (superfine).0.00 @ 210 Qity bags (delivered).0.00 @ 3.2 7 GRAIN\u2014The situation in the local grain market is substantially the same as detailed for some time past.The enquiry for wheat seems to be at a minimum and bids, even of few figures, are difficult to obtain.While values are \"quotably unchanged sales on the basis indicated could not be made.We quote nominally as follow:\u2014Canada red winter wheat, $1.06 @ 1.08;

Refined light demand barely steady.New Orleans Molasses trifle easier.Tea quiet.Coffee steady.Rice dull.Spices fair Jobbing request.Pig Iron dull and weak.Tin lower.Lead uiet.Copper easier.Tin Plates firm and higher.Spelter quiet.\u201d AMERICAN EXPORTS.The Treasury November bulletin shows a continued falling off in the exports of provisions and deiry products.They ave fallen from $8,621,621 in November, 1881, to $6,524,408 last month, For the eleven months ending November 30, | 1882, they amounted to $34,863,003.and for the corresponding time the year before, $120,345.092.Boston shows a mark- cd decrease in these exports.In November, 1881, they were $1,833,231, and last month but $506,425.For the eleven months the amount fell off from $22,732,- 387 to $13,073,794.The decrease is general among the other ports, except Philadelphia, Port Huron and Og ensburge The respective amounts in pounds of these articles exported during the eleven months is shown by the following table : 1881.1882, Beef (fresh).rousse 92,170,676 44,504,503 Beef (salted).86,882, 36,667,694 Bacon.493,460,239 265,329,622 ams.51,214,649 26,030,746 Lard.279,624,118 206,055,050 Pork 777,790 56,856,088 Tallow .,.64,600,173 36,559,183 Butter ,538.380 36,971, Cheese .131,366,844 909,914,264 THE CATTLE MARKETS.MonTREAL, December 21.\u2014At Viger Market about 400 head of butchers\u2019 cattle were offered for which there existed a good demand notably for the best quality.Sales of good to choice were made at bic @ 5Ïc per lb.live weight, and even higher prices were mentioned, À large nnmber* of fairly good cattle chânged hands at 4ie @ 5c ;

tigre and gigjers ipgo isgusts pastors with flocks and flocks with pastors.Perhaps nine, tignes out of tn a man\u2019s failtre in Lusindks may be traced to the whisperer.You borrow smoney from a bank, and 9 director whis- Pqrs # outside.Suspicion is excited: One \u201cwhisper after another is / sted, antil all the people you owe want their money.Although your assets may be worth four times your liabelities, crash goes everything, As for these TY GADABOUTS, TALE-BEARERS, SCANDAL MONGERS, : whisperers, and everlasting snoops, I hate, them with increasing vehemency, and ask God to give me increasing intensity with which to hate them.I think among the worst of the whisperers are those who ather up all\u2019 the malicious things that Fave been\u2019 said about you, and bring them to you without any of the extenuating circumstances.After they have made your feeling all raw, they will make this brine and turpentine and aquafortis and rub it in with a course towel until it sinks to the bone.They make vou a pin cushion into which to thrust all the sharp things they have heard about you, and then the whisperer adds: \u2018Don\u2019t get me into that scrape ; don\u2019t tell anybody I told you.\u201d Oh, these peddlers of night-shade; of Canada thistle, of nux Vomica.Sometimes they get you in a corner, where you can\u2019t very well escape with being rude, and] they TALK, TALK, TALE, TALK, TALK.After a while they go away, leaving the place looking like a very barnyard\u2014here a wing and there a claw.Oh, how th make the feathers fly! Yes the destruction of a man\u2019s name is worse than the destruction of his life.© A woman who confessed to her priest that she had bean - slandering her neighbours was told asa penance to go and scatter the seeds of a thistle.She did so, and when she came back, she was told to go and gather them up.She said the task was impossible, because they had been scattered by the wind.x The priest replied to her: Neither can you gather up the evil words you have spoken bf your peighbours.Many as gooda woman as your wife or mother has been whis- péred out of all kindly association into the rave.Some people say there is no hell.f there is no hell for such despoilers of woman's reputation it is high time for some philanthrophist to build one.There is one person even worse than the whisperer, and that is the man or woman who listens without protest.He holds the sack while the whisperer fille it.4 - GERMAN POPULATION AND EMIGRATION.Considerable attention is being drawn by statisticians to the great rate,of increase both of the population and emigration throughout Germany.The population of Prussia increased between 1816 and 1864 from 10,358,000 to 19,260,000, while, np to 1875, inclusive, it had mounted up to 21,500,000, or 105 per cent.in 60 years time.From 1875 to 1880 the population of all the German States has been increasing at about 525,000 per annum.At the last census, in December, 1880, the number of inhabitants was 45,250,000, which, if maintained at the same rate, would be 60,000,000 in 1900.The increrse, as compared with that of France, is very remarkable, the \u2018French \u2018population during the last flve years showing an increase of only 389,000 ; while the increase of the German pulation during the same period was.,000,000, the birth-rate in the latter country being 3.91 per 100, whereas in France itis only 2.47:®2There is also this reat difference between the two, that in france the increase has been almost entirely in the large towns, whereas in Germany the increase is general throughout the country as well as the towns.The numbers of emigrants that have Zleft Gererably .many during \u2018the last 60 years is over be Ling up \u2018a 3,500,000 of whom the greater part have taken their departur e within the last 30 cars ge United States having absorbed .} 168 ne leds than 348,323.Drriederidy, Kappe estigpates the smquot taken away by cach emigrant atnot less than 450 marks, or £22t 10e, so that the capital transferred to lhe United States during last year amounted directly to £5,587,267.And thig, it should be remem- » Ts mot returnable to Germany in the ordinarf ways af rade or commerce, as, in point df'faet, The German emigrants to the United States become Americans, and, consequently, competitors with Germany in agricultural and industrial persuits.Dr, Enge] congjders that the cost of bripg- i j young pérson lofthe lower or middle classes to the 15th year is about £200, ahd he estimateS that the loss to Ger many during the endigration of the last 60 Years, in and valuables taken by each emigrant, at over nine milliards of marks, nearly twice the amount of the war- indemnity paid by France in 1871.: Epps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014GRATEFUL AND Cox- FORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of -

returned to New York yesterday afternoon after spending several days in the city.\u2014Ten new Wagner drawing-room cars and eight sleepers were last week added to the rolling stock of the Boston & New York Short Line Company.\u2014Mr.J.A.Greer, general freight agent of the Michigan Central, will, it is announced, be general freight agent for the consolidated Michigan Central and Canada Southern.\u2014The Toledo.Cincinnati & St.Louis Railroad officials are confident that the unsubscribed balance of the $800,000 which they are endeavouring to obtain, will be secured this week.\u2014The earnings for the second week in December of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore.& Western road were $18,234.as against $13,820 for the corresponding week last year.Increase for 1882, $4,414.\u2014No conference has been held as yet by the Directors of the Eastern and Boston & Maine roads relative to the leasing f the former.The report that the Maine Central might lease the Eastern is pronounced absurd by a prominent official, the Eastern already owns the control of the Maine Central.\u2014The notice of application to Parliament to allow the Montreal, Ottawa and Western Railway Company to amend its charter, is made so as to permit the Comany to extend its line from the parish of Et Agathe, in the district of Terrebonne, towards Lake Nominigue, the village of Notre Dame\u2019 Du Desert, on the Gatineau River, and to Lake Nipissing, and also to change its name.\u2014A special despatch from Philadelphia states that the committee appointed a short time ago for the purpose of devising a method by which the Reading road could be taken out of the hands of the receiver will hold an important meeting this afternoon, and it is said that a statement will probably be issued on Thursday.The directors of the road will hold a meeting to-morrow.\u2014À tetegram received here says the storage car on train 19 New York and Chicago Railway Post-Office with all its contents was burned at 2 o\u2019clock on Thursday morning, two miles west of \u2014_\u2014 Schenectody.It contained mostly newspaper mail for Toledo and Wabash connection, but also part of the paper mail from New York for the West, also probably much of the European mail brought by the steamers \u201c Bothnia,\u201d \u201c City of Chester \u201d and \u201c St.Laurent.\u201d , The estimated receipts for to-morrow | were 98 cars spring wheat, 67 winter, 434 ! corn, 112 oats, 36 barley, and 168 rye.\u201cThe Chicago Board will adjourn tomorrow (Friday) at 1 p.m.until 9.30 am.on Tuesday, December 26.Wheat in New York was weak, and | - jt \u2014It is reported that the Eastern Rail.ic to fc lower at 3.10 p.m., when prices road people profess to have no anxiety : about securing a lease of the Boston, Revere & Lynn.Before thé recent cut in ; passenger rates, the Eastern offertd and the narrow-gauge refused a rental of 7.per cent.The latter corporation de- i mand d 8 per cent, but after the war was | fairly open, the Eastern running five-cent ' trains to Lynn, and forcing them to do the same, they offered to take 7 per; cent, and it was then the Eastern\u2019s turn : to becoy.Whether the latter corporation would accept such an offer now or not is not stated by its officers.We observe it stated by a Boston ex- | change that the progress towards a rati- | fication of the plan for a reorganization , of the Central Vermont finances is so : rapid that the officials are confident of its complete success.thir come in and a large share of the Vermont & Canada.As the time fixed for: the consummation of the arrangements\u2014 if ratified by a majority of the bond- holders\u2014is January 10, itis expected that the influx of bonds during the next few days will be very rapid.Bonds will, however, be received after that date, till all are in.\u2014Very little information seems to exist regarding the reported break between the Bennington & Rutland and Troy & Boston roads, by which southern business from the former is to be sent over the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel & Western, Delaware & Hudson, and Hudson River roads, as alleged.Dr.Estes Howe Treasurer of the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel &.Western, disclaims any official knowledge of the proposed change, though he had heard of it as a rumour.A well- informed railroad official says it is simply a fight against Dan Robinson, President of the Troy & Boston, and but a new feature in the incessant bickerings of the half-dozen or so little roads that control a few miles of track, each converging at the intersection of Massachusetts, Vermont and New York.\u2014The 21st annual report of the Maine Central Railroad in the exhibit presented of the traffic for the year ending September 30, 1882, shows a gratifying increase over that of years immediately preceding.The gross transportation earnings have increased from $1,465,458.52 in 1879 to $2,077,094.18 ig 1882, or at the rate of $4,187 per mile f 70 and $5,934 per mile for 1882.e earnings for the past year show an increase of $200,016.25 over 1881, or 15 9-10 per cent.increase in passenger earnings and 6 3-10 per cent.upon freight business.The directors further state, owing to local reasons, our freight earnings did not exhibit last year as large a proportional increase as in years preceding, but the freight business at the present time is only limited by our ability to sup- Ply rolling stock.\u2014Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in a letter published in the Boston Advertiser gives the results of a personal examina- mination by him of the Union Pacific Railroad.He endorses the property highly, and states that its resources and those of the country it traverses have eatly increased.The whole result of is investigation, Mr.Adams says, has satisfied him of the investment value of this property and he wants to see the control of it in New Englend.The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Union Pacific constitute together the broad way of the continent.So far as occupying the country is concerned, the policy the company is pursuing, he says, 1s a thoroughly sound ome.Its surplus earnings have for years been invested, \u2018| and are now being invested in feeders.\u2014 PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS MoNTREAL, December 21.Frour\u2014The prolonged absence of demand and accumulating stocks have given buyers a marked advantage, of which, however, they do not avail themselves, all grades being alike neglected.Values are weak, and to-day receded all round, without inducing business, to do which holders would be forced to submit to lower figures.On \u2019Change hardly anything was done, the only sale reported being 100 barrels spring extra at $4.70.We quote :\u2014 Superior Extra, per bri\u2026 $4.80 @ $4.85 Extra Superfins.\u2026 4.70 @ 475 Fancy.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.0.00 @ 0.00 Spring Extra.4.70 @ 4.75 Superfine.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.440@ 445 Strong Bakers (Canadian).5.25 @ 5.40 Strong Bakers (American).6.25 @ 6.75 Fine.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026rouse 8.0@ 400 Middlinge .\u2026\u2026.\u2026 .3702 380 Pollards.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.850@ 3.65 Ontario bags, (medium).2303 235 \u201c (spring extra).20@ 2% 6 (superfine).0.00 @ 210 Qity bags (delivered).0.00 @ 3.2 7 GRAIN\u2014The situation in the local grain market is substantially the same as detailed for some time past.The enquiry for wheat seems to be at a minimum and bids, even of few figures, are difficult to obtain.While values are \"quotably unchanged sales on the basis indicated could not be made.We quote nominally as follow:\u2014Canada red winter wheat, $1.06 @ 1.08;

Refined light demand barely steady.New Orleans Molasses trifle easier.Tea quiet.Coffee steady.Rice dull.Spices fair Jobbing request.Pig Iron dull and weak.Tin lower.Lead uiet.Copper easier.Tin Plates firm and higher.Spelter quiet.\u201d AMERICAN EXPORTS.The Treasury November bulletin shows a continued falling off in the exports of provisions and deiry products.They ave fallen from $8,621,621 in November, 1881, to $6,524,408 last month, For the eleven months ending November 30, | 1882, they amounted to $34,863,003.and for the corresponding time the year before, $120,345.092.Boston shows a mark- cd decrease in these exports.In November, 1881, they were $1,833,231, and last month but $506,425.For the eleven months the amount fell off from $22,732,- 387 to $13,073,794.The decrease is general among the other ports, except Philadelphia, Port Huron and Og ensburge The respective amounts in pounds of these articles exported during the eleven months is shown by the following table : 1881.1882, Beef (fresh).rousse 92,170,676 44,504,503 Beef (salted).86,882, 36,667,694 Bacon.493,460,239 265,329,622 ams.51,214,649 26,030,746 Lard.279,624,118 206,055,050 Pork 777,790 56,856,088 Tallow .,.64,600,173 36,559,183 Butter ,538.380 36,971, Cheese .131,366,844 909,914,264 THE CATTLE MARKETS.MonTREAL, December 21.\u2014At Viger Market about 400 head of butchers\u2019 cattle were offered for which there existed a good demand notably for the best quality.Sales of good to choice were made at bic @ 5Ïc per lb.live weight, and even higher prices were mentioned, À large nnmber* of fairly good cattle chânged hands at 4ie @ 5c ; but superior animals were slow of sale at from 2c @ 4cas to quality.About 300 head of sheep and lambs were offered and breught steady prices, lambs selling at $2.50@$5 each.Messrs.J.Hennessy & Sons?weekly repost, dated Bristol, December 7th, says:\u2014¢ The supply of fat cattle today was large, trade was principally confined to the best English cattle for country markets, which sold freely at 82s per cwt.Irish cattle met buyers among local men at 80s for best and 70s@75s for seconds.We had a short supply of sheep and a slow trade at 104d@11d per lb.; 1,500 pies arrived and met a very bad sale in- eed, many are not sold; bacons, 10s@10s 3d per score; pork, 10s 9d@lls.1,400 store cattle on offer to-day, but trade was not so good generally; the cattle were bought dear, and we have had a lot of snow here, which affected the trade considerably.We expect a large supply of fat cattle at our Xmas market.\u201d John Swan & Sm\u2019s weekly report says:\u2014Supplies of fat cattle in Edinburgh rather larger than last week, aud a splendid display in point of quality.rade quite as good, and an easy clearance was effected.At Glasgow there was a larger supply, the bulk of which, however, were Irish, of a secondary class.\u2018 While the best class of home-fed cattle maintained last week\u2019s prices, there was a decided reduction in the value of other kinds, with a large quantity unsold.English markets this week quite as dear.The principal Christmas markets throughout the country fall to be held next week.Sheep numbers smaller, but quality good in Edinburgh.In Glasgow a large proportion of them were ewes of a secondary description.Best class of sheep met an active inquiry at previous prices; secondary ewes shade less.Fat calves made highest prices of the sèason.Pigs better inquiry, at about half-a-crown per hundredweight advance.Foreign supplies consisted of 115 very good cattle rom Boston, which met a very dear market, and made from 10s@10s 6d per stone, also 170 Canadians, fairly good, which likewise met a good sale at from 9s 6d/@9s 9d per stone.On account of, the severe storm there were few buyers for store cattle in Edimburgh this week; little business was done.Best beef, 10s 6d /@10s 9d; secondary, 9s 9d; inferior, 8s 6d per stone; top Irish, 9s 9d@10s; secondary, 9s 3d, inferior, 8s per stone.Best mutton, 11d; secondary, 10d@101d ;

tigre and gigjers ipgo isgusts pastors with flocks and flocks with pastors.Perhaps nine, tignes out of tn a man\u2019s failtre in Lusindks may be traced to the whisperer.You borrow smoney from a bank, and 9 director whis- Pqrs # outside.Suspicion is excited: One \u201cwhisper after another is / sted, antil all the people you owe want their money.Although your assets may be worth four times your liabelities, crash goes everything, As for these TY GADABOUTS, TALE-BEARERS, SCANDAL MONGERS, : whisperers, and everlasting snoops, I hate, them with increasing vehemency, and ask God to give me increasing intensity with which to hate them.I think among the worst of the whisperers are those who ather up all\u2019 the malicious things that Fave been\u2019 said about you, and bring them to you without any of the extenuating circumstances.After they have made your feeling all raw, they will make this brine and turpentine and aquafortis and rub it in with a course towel until it sinks to the bone.They make vou a pin cushion into which to thrust all the sharp things they have heard about you, and then the whisperer adds: \u2018Don\u2019t get me into that scrape ; don\u2019t tell anybody I told you.\u201d Oh, these peddlers of night-shade; of Canada thistle, of nux Vomica.Sometimes they get you in a corner, where you can\u2019t very well escape with being rude, and] they TALK, TALK, TALE, TALK, TALK.After a while they go away, leaving the place looking like a very barnyard\u2014here a wing and there a claw.Oh, how th make the feathers fly! Yes the destruction of a man\u2019s name is worse than the destruction of his life.© A woman who confessed to her priest that she had bean - slandering her neighbours was told asa penance to go and scatter the seeds of a thistle.She did so, and when she came back, she was told to go and gather them up.She said the task was impossible, because they had been scattered by the wind.x The priest replied to her: Neither can you gather up the evil words you have spoken bf your peighbours.Many as gooda woman as your wife or mother has been whis- péred out of all kindly association into the rave.Some people say there is no hell.f there is no hell for such despoilers of woman's reputation it is high time for some philanthrophist to build one.There is one person even worse than the whisperer, and that is the man or woman who listens without protest.He holds the sack while the whisperer fille it.4 - GERMAN POPULATION AND EMIGRATION.Considerable attention is being drawn by statisticians to the great rate,of increase both of the population and emigration throughout Germany.The population of Prussia increased between 1816 and 1864 from 10,358,000 to 19,260,000, while, np to 1875, inclusive, it had mounted up to 21,500,000, or 105 per cent.in 60 years time.From 1875 to 1880 the population of all the German States has been increasing at about 525,000 per annum.At the last census, in December, 1880, the number of inhabitants was 45,250,000, which, if maintained at the same rate, would be 60,000,000 in 1900.The increrse, as compared with that of France, is very remarkable, the \u2018French \u2018population during the last flve years showing an increase of only 389,000 ; while the increase of the German pulation during the same period was.,000,000, the birth-rate in the latter country being 3.91 per 100, whereas in France itis only 2.47:®2There is also this reat difference between the two, that in france the increase has been almost entirely in the large towns, whereas in Germany the increase is general throughout the country as well as the towns.The numbers of emigrants that have Zleft Gererably .many during \u2018the last 60 years is over be Ling up \u2018a 3,500,000 of whom the greater part have taken their departur e within the last 30 cars ge United States having absorbed .} 168 ne leds than 348,323.Drriederidy, Kappe estigpates the smquot taken away by cach emigrant atnot less than 450 marks, or £22t 10e, so that the capital transferred to lhe United States during last year amounted directly to £5,587,267.And thig, it should be remem- » Ts mot returnable to Germany in the ordinarf ways af rade or commerce, as, in point df'faet, The German emigrants to the United States become Americans, and, consequently, competitors with Germany in agricultural and industrial persuits.Dr, Enge] congjders that the cost of bripg- i j young pérson lofthe lower or middle classes to the 15th year is about £200, ahd he estimateS that the loss to Ger many during the endigration of the last 60 Years, in and valuables taken by each emigrant, at over nine milliards of marks, nearly twice the amount of the war- indemnity paid by France in 1871.: Epps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014GRATEFUL AND Cox- FORTING.\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of -
