Both Crews Anxiously !

if such a course were necessary.It was decided to instruct Superinten= dent Janin to immediately arrange an interview with Mr, W.McLea Wal- bank, and see if the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company would be ready to make an electric installation within two weeks.Under such cone ditions it would not be necessary to buy new boilers at all, and the danger of an explosion or a water famine would be averted.\u2019 May Use Electricity.Chairman Clearihue and Mr.Janin wtll see Mr.Walbank as soon as pose sible and find out on what terms the \u2018Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company would be prepared to pump up water to the reservoir, | As soon as this has been settled, a report will be sent to the Water Committee, and if necessary a special meeting of the Cily Council wil! be held to give out contracts for steam boilers or electric pumps \u2018us may be deemed \u2018advisable, This will probably be next week.In his letter of yesterday, Mr.Wale bank offered to either supply the neces- rary electric power for pumping the water or pump the city's water at a I stated rate per million gallons.Taking Time to Install, One of the officials of the Water Department.in discussing this offer to- éay.sail that he did not believe ths \u2018Montreal Light, Heat & Power Com- \u2018fany coul} install an electric pump Within several months.To talk of ! bringing $n a couple of wires to run à \u201crteam pump was only nonsanse.Any- \u2018one knew that a piston required steam \"to drive it and not electricity.Instead \u2018of the Water Committee trying to purchase suitable steam boilers.they werd looking around to see if thev could not use an electric pump.Wherever these electrical pumps had been tried, they had been found wanting.As yet they were only in an experimental stage.Half the present hitch, according to \u2018this official.may be attributed to » .misunderstanding on the part of the i Montreal Light, Heat & Power authorities.They imagine that the city is out tor the purchase of steam engines, instead of steam boilers.Assistant Superintendent Lesage, in conversation to-day.said that the i present boilers had been cleaned about \u2018five months ago.At that time there | was high water in the aqueduct and it was possible to stop one of thé boilers at a time and clean it.Such a course | was now impossible, as the water was much lower and every bit of pressure (was needed to pump.the extra two mil- \u2018lion gallons of water required at the {present moment.To stop one boiler now would mean the suspension of one pump and a heavy cut in the city's water supply.The only alternative\u2019 would be to overwork the other boilers, !

rejoicing, Prodigal expenditures have been made on tire crackers, and in every Chinese restaurant to-day the chem-bem bowl is ready for favored guests.The celebration commenced with a wholesale explosion of firecrackers, which had beén piled in the street just against the curbstone and in front of the joss house.A fuse was laid across the sidewalk and into the temple.A Chinese band, armed with inatruments of weird appearance and appalling sound, furnished the music for the occasion.At a given signal the fuse was lighted and the pile of crackers explcd- ed with a.roar that startled people blocks away.Meanwhile the band played.While the explosion lasted the effect of the band was somewhat neutralized, but the opinion of curious citi- gens who watched the circus was that it did not last long enough.When it more fire- fente ne : f thelr studi \u201cTh Objact et 0 studies was to discover, {f possible, Why some breeds | of stikworms produce white silk, white others produce yellow or a yellowish green sf Their expariinents showed them that the natural coloring matter of the cocoons was.identical with the coloring matter found in the Ipaves.The experinferits prove that a coloring matter introduced fnto the intestines of a worm by means of-food may, under certain conditions, reach the silk through the blpod.!

It is just a little curious that En- _ mineer Janin's outburst abbut the bad stata of the pumps on which depends the security of our water supply should be followed by a debate in the committee as to whether the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company should be given a contract for pumping the water by electricity.Things never seem to move lively at the Hall until there is a contract in prospect, and then it is always made to appear as though destruction was imminent unless and until the contract is made.In this instance, however, it is fair to Mr.Janin to say that he discountenances the idea of pumping by electricity, and that he was snubbed by Ald.Chausse, who seemed to think it was an impertinence for the technical adviser of the department to expréss an opinion adverse to the use of electricity on apparatus designed to be driven by steam.Le Journal, the organ of the Power Company, scorning all merely technical advice, asserts that to equip the pumps with electrical power is the only remedy, and hastens to add that Mr.Janin\u2019s report on the bad condition ot, the pumps is proof positive that the municipality cannot be trusted to operate a public service.This latter argument should appeal to the Council, but in a sense contrary to that intended.The ability of the city to properly manage its own services is a proper subject for criticiam, even, as sometimes happens, by those who make it a business to corrupt aldermen and thereby drive bargains with the city profitable to themselves, but leading to neglect of the public ser-| Quebec voter as may justify the appre- Hinson of those who fair the province agaih go strongly Literal.But that case our Tory friends who fore see this probable consequence of their acts ought to blame themselves.Instead, they appeal to the people of this Province to vote Conservative not because they want to but because some awful punishment may follow if they do what it is foreseen they will be driven to do.Political strategy could not very well go farther wrong than it has gone in the hands of these experts.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.Montreal is this week welcoming the Canadian representatives of an organization of workingmen which has deservedly won the reputation of being the most conservative labor society on the continent.' The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has been uniformly guided by counsels of moderation, with the result that it enjoys the respect and confidence of the managers of the rallway systems and occupies a unique position among trades unions as having secured for its members the maximum of results, so far as remuneration and recognition are concerned, with the exercise of the minimum of force.The Brotherhood has not accepted the doctrine that the strike and the boÿŸtott are weapons to be freely used in controversies with employers.On the contrary, it long ago laid down the axiom that permanent and satisfactory settlements of labor disputés were only to be obtalned through friendly negotiation, with the rights of both parties taken into consideration.The results have amply justified the rolicy, and to-day the B.of L.\u2018E.is pointed to by tens of thousands of students of the relations of capital and labor as proof that labor organizations, se = - [5 a a» = maw Sm JOHN BULL\u2014\u201cHe goes through the Dardanelles, and now he want, to go through me.\u201d - : .Heed the Warning Some people have no use for warnings, and it seems the cause that of this class Montreal owns quite a re- glment.In matters that are purely personal to themselves, it i8 \u201ctheir own funeral,\u201d as the boy on the street would put it, whether the warning has effect or not.But when the failure to take advantage of good advice means danger to others, as well as to is what some folk about here profess to want.- If the Canadian counterparts of Mr.Lodge were to get into authority, Mr.Chamberlain would have to wait a 1 time before this colony would provide \u2018a very large measure of relief for that | struggling British industry about which he is so anxious.It eeems, according to the non-parti- san Military Gazette, that not only themselves, then their conduct de- \u201cthe fighting men,\u201d but also \u2018thelr [serves the strongest condemnation.wives, mothers and sisters\u201d are now| In the matter of such an hour by NERALIN WEDNBEDAY, AUGUST 10; vices.We are going to be told, a feW: controlled by intelligence and animated months hence, that the people ought 10.by respect for the rights of others, can be glad to pay an unreasonably high|win the confidence of the public, and | price for gas for no better reason than at the same time attain the ends that \u2018insist on voting as these mentors ex- .province, did what self-respecting peo- \u201c8 , \u2018may not.The chances are he is right.| gineers.that the city could not be trusted to) unionism seeks\u2014the uplifting of its run a gas plant at any price.There, members.is believed to be a design to get the But it is not alone as representatives water service out of public and into|oy an organization that has accom- private control.The surest means of| plished so fine a work in helping-to blocking any game of that sort is t0lsolve the ever-vexing problem of the do everything necessary to make the! relations of the employer and the em- water supply sécure and pure.Mr.pjoye that Montreal extends the hand Janin's fears may be justified or they'or greeting to the Locomotive En- As \u2018individuals we welcome for there are some queer tales told of: the men, sturdy of frame and firm of how pumpe and boîlers were bought IN nerve, who day and night, winter and the good old days.At all events, safety! summer, face risks that the soldier lies in being sure, and {fithe Coundilimeets otily on the seldom-trod finds that the water supply is threatened field, and that to the ordinary civilian it ought to take the necessary mea-|come only in the form of unexpected sures, and take them now.catastrophe.There 1s perhaps no large i body of men whose daily occupation Ct HARMONY.brings them so close to the edge of the * Mr.Chamberlain's Tariff Committee!

-\u2014_\u2014 ELECTION FORECASTS.| According to schedule, trawlers: have begun to come up from the Maritime Provinces to tell the Gazette how much is going to be done for Mr.Borden.Simultaneously, newspapers have begun to make election forecasts.The best the Gazette's prophet can do ts to divide the Maritime Provinces, something which must give chills to | those who, four years ago, Were en- | tertained with truly brilliant accounts of how Sir Charles Tupper was going to bring up a solid delegation.\u2018 It seems to be conceded by the Conservative prognosticators that Prince Edward would go Liberal if an election were now to be held, and that Mr.Fielding could more than hold his own against Mr.Borden in Nova Scotia.They quite naturally assume that Mr.Emmerson\u2019s personal prestige in New Brunswick is not so great as was Mr.Blair's, and therefore coolly take to themselves half the representation of that Province.Of Manitoba they have some hopes, of the Northwest not much, and no man dares say what British Columbia may bring forth.Quebec they concede, with very bad grace, to the Liberals, and they are therefore left to hope against hope that Ontario may divest itself of all Liberal representation, - \u201c A few of the more anxious prophets, realizing, no doubt, that since the old gerrymander act has been done away with the Liberal party is not apt to be found quite extinct in Ontario, have suddenly grown to be very cross about the prospect in Quebec.Quebec is being warned that if it sends another Laurier majority, its existence will be imperilled.Its people are being told how much they will be disliked if they pect them to vote.But really, it does not appear very clear how people who value their self respect can accept the advice that is being tendered them.Quebec, after all, does nôt vote unanimously for Laurier.Twenty per cent.more votes than the Conservative candidates got last time would, in a large number of constituencies, suffice to elect Conservatives, What our Tory friends from the other provinces have to rémember, when they lecture Quebec, {8 that they themselves drove votes to Laurier by the tens of thousands, In 1891 Quebec did not give the favorite son a majority.In 1898 it did, notwithstanding desperate appeals by Sir Charles Tupper to .religious prejudice.But in 1900 Quebec Conservatives, whose leaders were driven out of the party councils when they would not assent to a campaign of vilification of their race and their ple were bound to do, and struck back when they marked their ballots.It Jooked for à while as If Mr.Borden, warned by this experience, would con- 6illate tha former friends of his party, but recent events, the recent action of his followelw and newspaper support- erb, the recent rénewal of the

welcome, and is proud to be his hostess.qe ANOTHER COMPLICATION.The purchase of German mail boats and their conversion into armored cruisers by Russia lends another phase to the war, and raises another interesting question as to what constitutes neutrality.We know that the belligerents recognize the fact that they cannot purchase actual war ehips built in the yards of a neutral power, because the outbreak of the war was made dependent upon the getting away from Genoa of the two cruisers built there for the-Argentine republic.If, however, Russia and Japan are free to buy up all the fast steamers which the big shipping companies of neutral powers are willing to sell, the struggle might resolve.itself into one very protracted and dependent upon the purchasing power of the belligerents.The White Star, Cunard, Allan or P.& O.will doubtless be quite as wllling to obtain a fancy price for their greyhounds as are the North German Lloyd or Ham- burg-American companies, and can apply part of thé proceeds to bulld still larger and faster boats, which If the war goes on for years, could also be transferred to the warring nations, Such a state of affairs does not savor much of the strict observance of inter national neutrality.The presence of two of these German purchases, renamed the Don apd the Ural, watching for: vessels going through the Straits of Gibraltar, adds another danger to international peace, A few more mistakes and somebody will lose h!s temper, with \u2018disastrous results to the peace of the world, NOTES AND COMMENTS, Canada is with Laurier,

as greeted by Col.Otter and several of the officers of the garrison, and Acting Mayor Ward and other members of the City Council, and by them escorted to the street, where the various regiments and an immense crowd of people were waiting, On his appearance Perry wus greeted with loud cheers.The procession moved off, headed by the mounted police.The City Coun- ell followed, and after them the Gov- ernor-Gene»3s Bodyguard and band, Toronto Light Horse, Ninth Fleld Battery, Queen's Own Rifles, Royal Gren- adlers, 31st Highlanders, of Hamilton and band, the Army Medical Corps, Cadet Band, Army Service Corps, Veterans of '66, Army and Navy Veterans, and band.Sixty thousand persons, it ls estimated, took part.The procession from Union Station to \u2018Varsity Lawn was the greatest and most wildly enthusiastic event of the kind in history of the city.The hero of the hour was drawn on a gun-car- riage by eighteen members of F.Company, Royal Grenadlers, Perry's old company, and as he passed through the surging thousands, was received in the heartiest manner possible.Following him into Queen's Park came the teeming thousands.For a time the rope kept them from the.enclosure but this was soon rudely trampled under foot and police and soldiers, with batons and fists, could not keep back the onward rush which brought the military tatto, a fine spectacle, to a premature and Inglorious end.On they went to the platform and as Perry was about to speak, down came the structure.Women fainted or screamed and by forming a strong cordon, the police pressed back the crowd \\rtil the five Injured were released from the hroken plank.The fine grandfather's clock given to Perry by the military, also came down with the collapse and sustained injury.The cablnet of silver from the City Council and gold watch from his old comrades escaped injury.After the fall of the platform the crowd dispersed and the noisy groups continued the celebration down town, Mr.E.B.Osler, M.P., on

taste, he endeavored to keep himself cool during the recent torrid {days by sitting up to his armpits in water in a large wine barrel placed behind his desk, In this strange guise he recetved the people who came to pay stamp fees.The public treated the matter ns an excellent joke, but a couple of days ago an inspector of stamp dutles arrived on the scene unexpectedly, and was so scandalized at finding the offl- clal transacting business without his clothes that he promptly suspended him pending a report to the Government department.THE BEST VARIETY OF MU the Inland, and are in a the most

Ottawa, August 10.\u2014The Commons struggled gallantly toward prorogation yesterday.In the mearning Dr.Sproule showed his capacity for leadership at the cost of some time.This over with, the House settled down to work.In the evening there was a grand clearing up of the estimates.They were all practically gotten out of the way.The Senate passed the Militia Bill and got itself ready for the Alien Labor Act Ænd prorogation.WILL USE ACETYLENE GAS.Mr.Prefontaine gave figures showing that the use of acetylene gas as an illuminant for gas buoys and automatic lights, was cheaper than gas or coal oil.The former gave over six times the light that gas did for the same money.The power of penetration was also more than double.It was the intention of the Department to gradually substitute acetylene gas for the present illuminants.By means change a saving of $5,000 would be made on the Upper St.Lawrence alone.Dr.Sproule charged that it would cost an immense sum, probably » million of dollars, to make this cuange, and then the country would be in the hands of à monopoly in which one or more Ministers of the Crown were directly interested.I make this statement in the House,\u201d said the speaker, \u2018\u2018so that it may be contradicted is not true, and it is most humiliating to believe that the Government would enter into a contract under such circumstances and put us in a position that we are practically helpers.\u201d Mr.Prefontaine said there was no need to cast suspicion.Dr.Sproule\u2014More than suspicion.Mr.Prefontaine\u2014Well, let the hon.gentleman be precise then.: Dr.Sproule\u2014I tell the hon.gentleman there is more than suspicion.Mr.Prefontaine\u2014Make a then.; Dr.Sproule\u2014Let the Minister get up and make an explanation.Let him deny that a Minister of the Crown is not part owner of these plants in Canada and that the Government are not compelled to buy from him.Mr.Prefontaine\u2014I \u2019want to deny point blank in the most formal manner that we have got to get it from these parties.' Dr.Sproule\u2014Can you get other companies?: Mr.Prefontaine\u2014Yes; there was .a company started six weeks \u2018ago at Shawinigan, Falls to manufacture the same article.Sy Mr.Henderson\u2014Would the Minister allow me to say that the company at Shawinigan is practically: the same company as the other.Mr.Prefontaine\u2014That is another flagrant error.The company at Shaw- tnigan Falls is a very large company, with a large capital and I know personally who controls the capital.They are persons from Boston and not Canadians at all.The hon.gentleman says we are at the mercy of these gentlemen.Does he think that thé C.P.R.does not look carefully after its business?Well, they have adopted acetylene gas and are installing it on their cars.Dr.Sproule said the Canadian patent was controlled by Mr.Wilson, who was {nterested in the Canadian companies, and the Government were therefore in the hands of à monopoly.: SHIPPING MEN FAVOR IT.Mr.Prefontaine pointed out that the Government could obtain carbide in other countries, but they purchased it mote cheaply here, the price of $65 a ton being the lowest rate obtainable anywhere.The shipping interests had strongly urged improved aids to navigation and\u2019 the adoption of acetylene gas, which was the best illuminant procurable, was in response to their wishes.It happened that one of the Ministers had some share in the capital stock of one of these companies, but that was no offence.The law provided that a member could be a \u2018shareholder in a company that did business with the Government.The cost of changing the system, including the establishment of plant and other disbursements, would be $300,000.SALE OF FISHING PRIVILEGES.À The lease of fishing privileges on James Bay to Mr.Archie McNee, of Windsor ,Ont., was made the basis of attack on the Fishery Department by Mr.Boyd.He said a Mr.Mackenzie, of Selkirk, had been given the fishery lease of Lesser Slave Lake and F.H.Markey, of Montreal, representative of the British American Fish Company, the rights of Great Slave Lake.The Nelson River, West River, Hayes River and Pidgeon River for twenty-one years for $10.The Markey lease excluded everybody from these waters,but the Hudson Bay Company, the Indians and the settlers, who can take the fish{they need.Dr.Sproule said the Government had no right to give these leases at so low a rate.Hon.Mr.Haggart said the Govern- charge it from temporary of the, ment was selling rights belonging to thé province.> PRIVILEGES NOT EXCLUSIVE.The Minister stated that none of these concessions carried exclusive fishing rights.The Government retained the right to license other companies to fish in waters which did not infringe on the British American operations.An expert of the department had reported it would take years and a great deal of capital bafore the company could make a profit.Mr.Fowler stated \u2018Mr.Markey had taken the concession for speculative purposes and not for development.Mr.Prefontaine maintained that the licenses were all right, The item, with the remaining fishery items passed.On a supplementary estimate for $15,- 000 Mr.Fisher stated the vote was for the collection of census statistics between the decennial years.A regular \u2018staff will carry on the work, and it will be.mostly done by correspondence.G.T.P.SURVEYS.On a vote of $500,000 for the survey Trunk Pacific, the portion which is to be corstructed by the Government, several members of the Opposition wanted to know when the surveys were to be begun.The Finance Minister said that since the bill was through the parties would probably go out immediately.Mr.Barker wanted the Government to give assurance that none of this money would be paid for surveys of the route.which the Grand Trunk Railway was now making.The Finance Minister said he had no authority to give such assurance.The Government was free to purchase any surveys of the Grund Trunk which were found useful, or to refuse to purchase them if they were not wanted.Mr.Barker said he believed this vote was to be made use of to reimburse the Grand Trunk for its expenses in the | present surveys.He thought this vote could not be made use of in this way.The Finunce Minister said if this was i the case Mr.Barker should be satisfied.i If the Government could uot spend the \u2018money to purchase Grand Trunk sur- | veys there was no danger of their doing § Mr.Barker\u2014You do\u2018 not hold this | view of the vote?Mr.Fielding\u2014T do not.Mr.Lennox said this wag a revote and when the money was voted last year it was understood the Grand Trunk surveys were to he purchased, However, he thought the vote stood in a different (position now.Mr.Flelding said he did not think that the revote should change the terms of the vote.The Government SENATORS AMEND of the eastern division of the Grand\u2019 \u2018was acted upon.THE MILITIA BILL Senator David's Amendment Defeated \u2014Several Bills Read Third Time.(Staff Correspondence of The Herald.) Ottawa, August 10.\u2014In the Senate yesterday Hon.Mr.Sullivan called the Government's gktention to a statement by Senator Lodge,of Massachusetts, that he believed reciprocity could be brought about without injury to American industries.He thought in view .of this the Alien Labor Bill might be withdrawn.Hon.Mr.Scott thought there was no use discussing such United States election humbug.The Militia Bill was taken up in committee.On the second section of the clause providing for the absence of a judge or magistrates, Hon.Mr.Scott moved that three, magistrates be substituted as an alternative.After some discussion upon the best way of calling out the militia, the amendment was adopted.Section three was amended by making it impossible to question any statement of fact made In the requisition for militia for strike purposes after it Hon.Mr.Scott moved and it was resolved that proposed clause nineteen, respecting retirement be withdrawn and the clause of the old Act substituted.; Hon.Mr.David moved to amend clause eighty-two by adding a paragraph declaring that if the place # here the.militia are -to be called out be a port under the jurisdiction of harbor commissioners, the requisition must be signed by the chairman of the Ha Hor Commission or the officer in charge of the port.He intended to move a turther amendment providing that the Government shall bear the expense of the militia being called out in these places.He explained that by the word \u201cport\u201d he intended any place legally designated a port, of\u2019 which there were} fifty or sixty less able to bear the expense of having the militia called out, than is Montreal.When military® were - \u2018 The water reservoir of the Imperial Oxford Range is so designed that it keeps a

to purchase the Grand Trunk surveys a special vote would have tu be taken for the purpose.POINT RAISED ON THAT NOTICE.The Finance Minister sald if the Opposition nad made such a proposal earlier in the session he could not say what action would have been taken, However, the question was now raised for the first time.Mr.Fielding said he did not have the authority of his colleagues to grant such a request.Mr.Barker said the Grand Trunk might want to locate the road where :t was not in the interest of the country to have it located.They would.make their surveys to suit their interests and not those of the Government.He thought it monstrous that the Government should take authority to purchase.such surveys without submitting them to the House.Hon.Mr.Fielding sald the eastern division of the Grand Trunk was to b» built by an independent Government commission.This commission would also have charge of the work of surveying and would be advised by its chief engineer an able man.If the chief engineer advised the commission that the Grand Trunk surveys were on the route selected by the Government and\u2019 were of a suitable character there seemed to be no reason why they should not be .purchased.\u201cIf\u201d said Mr.Fielding, \u201cthe chlef engineer advises that the Grand Trunk surveys are elsewhere than on the proper route th: commission will not take them, and they will not be paid for.\u201d On, this assurance the item was allowed to pass.ee NOT ANXIOUS FOR RECIPROCITY.Nova Scotians Are No Longer Eager for Closer Trade Relations.Halifax, N.S., August 10.\u2014(Sperlal.)

Oh.we were so happy.so | proud and so happy.in those swècl ola days!\" : \u201cThe very memory A rush of tears to her ces and made her voice waver and break.Jack put up his arm and laid it across her bent shoulders, drawing down her\u201d beau® and kissing her forehead with a sort of reverence that was very touching.\u201cPoor mother!\u201d he said tenderly.\u2018But don't ury dear, You've got your \u2018boy now-and you shan't have te face the world alone any more; comfort in that\u201d \u201cThere's every comfort In that.\u201d sh» janswered as she smiled through her | tears and fondly kissed hit \u201cBut, \u201cJack dear, don't you think had bet- ter leave the rest for some other time?| \"You are.very feverish and your hands are like fire.Don't vou think it will be Ra well If mother leaves the rest of the story until to-morrow \u201cNo, no!

W.À.Bull, New York, H.BE.Mitchell.of Philadelphia, Mr.Baker, of Baker, Ayling & Co., Boston, and several mombers in Canada., The Mackenzie & Mann interests are seeking control of the .Canada-Atlantic Railway which, with the Canada-Atlantic Transit Co., rompletes a connection between the Canadian Northern and the Great Northern of Canada, but, unfortunately for them, the Grand Trunk Pacific interests bave entered the field for the Canada Atlantic, and with two parties contesting for control the price has been raised to a prohibitory figure by Mr.Booth, the owner.+ : The Canada Atlantic would be valuable to both interests seeking a trans-continental line across Canada, ah its acquisition would save the building of nearly 600 miles of road.The Canadian Northern is now bullding a line from Toronto north which crosses the Canada Atlantic at Parry Sound, which line permits of an entrance by the Canadlan Northern into Toronto, and will also connect with the Canada Atlantic at Parry Sound.In the meantime an effort will be made to reorganize the Great Northern of Canada in- dopendent of either the Canada Atlantic or the Canadian Northern, and it will probably be done through the amalgamation of the Great Northern of Canada, the #hateauguay & Northern end the Quebec, New Brunswick & Nova Scotia.Plans have recently been fyled with the Ontarin Railway Department by Mackenzie and Mann for bullding the Quebec, New Brunswlék & Nova Scotia Railway from Quebec through Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to Country Harbor, 105 miles east of Halifax.; Holders of the $4,000,000 of 5 per cent.bonds of the Great Northern of Canada, upon which the interest July 1 was defaulted, will probably be asked to exchange their bonds for new 4 per cent.bonds at 85, under a new mortgage, which will cover the Amalgamated system.\u201d Thes bonds were never very well distributed with the public, the subscription to the bonds at 8714 inh 1301 being a failure, probably less 25 per cent.of the issue being taken.The property, therafore, remains largely in the hands of the people Who built the road, including Jas.McNaught and W.L.Bull, ot New York.H.H.Melville of Boston, and HE.Mitchell of Philadelphia, hence no receivership resulted upon the default and an attempt will be made to reorganize the property thout foreclosure.Neorganization will he attemptad so as to permit of an amalgamation later on with the Canadian Northern, whenever a physich cone nection between the two properties is secure .either through the acquisition of the Cant Atlantic or the building of an independen line.$ #8 $ .Good Showing of Twin City sidering the earnings and financial position ot many of the city electric lines, we have been forced to record tbat many vot this class of corporations are showing decreased earnings for stockholders and weakened financial position.The earnings of the Twin City Transit Company, however, show a healthful growth, which, if continued, | &itbout an undue inflation of the capital ac- Ct , will materially strengthen an already cou tactory position.The preliminary income account for June and the first six months of the present fiscal year arë re- 1904.gross.ree $270,140 $347,745 Tae ee and taxes.173,638 168,745 ts.0 c0000000 $196,502 $179.000 Changes ne Ceres sv.92,392 78,391 ;

Yunds carefully invested in additional plant, additional receipts may.be expeatad for the stock.It is, perhaps, unfair to criticise Twin Cities on % Balt.years stibwing, espedially bé ex- jepsèy ahd taxes are not taken in detail, but Be iS of.intevest.to note auch .caste ag they occur\u2019 from time to tine, reserving judgment until all the facts are at hand.\u2014 ME.Globe, L0°- ; ee pif |-clal.)\u2014The Conservatives of thesdis- + A.Jordon, rise is causing some anxiecy us to its effect upon the demand in the immediate futtire.On the basis of the top figures which fac- torymen realised to-day finest Ontario makes could hardly be turned over on \u2018spot under $%c, and it is certain that the spot market ached such level as yet, whatever Ea À 1 the next few days.The question arises, therefore, as to how much speculation, or rather competition, between rival tirms has tp dg with this latest advance, and the inference.is that it is mainly \"re sponeible.At any rate the assumption is supported by the temor of cable orders that have been received here since Saturday.Far trom being on a parity with the figures paid to-day, cable Ilinits are still on the wrong side of thé rise which was estiblished ut country points last Saturday.English importers, in fact, have only increased their limits on the average about 6d per cwt.this week, and while this indicates an inclination to follow the market on, this aide to Home éxtent, it is no resson for Rssuming that they will.respond to aggressive manipulation for the prise.The visible supply is too potent a fact in this connection, and, besides, there are goods going out this week on old contracts : that are costing the shippers all the way from %c to %c less per pound than the current rate calls for.In a word ,the situation is rather mixed and fears are entertained that matters are being rushed too fast for a healthy market.The best average price which export orders in hand for \u2018exscution today permitted was 8%c for Ontarios, 8c for Fownships and 77gc for Quebecs, and fn many cares limits were Yc to LAC, per pound below these figures.The butter marl.t \u2018while it did not show any quotable chang .furnished evidence of a disinclination on the part of shippers to con- céde the higher prices that were asked by many sellers.In fact, British impertérs have not shown yet any strong intlinatiën to continue purchasing at the higher prices ne- cossitated by the late rise in values, though they are apparently willing to continue at the former level.For Quebec creamery today 18%c was reallzed, but several shippers could not pay this price, and had to content thernselves with less desirable goods obtaln- mble at, 1Blec.Townships creamery Was in fair dermand at 19e to 19%c, and all the unsalted stock\" there is offering easily finds purchasers at 1940 and business in the lat- Le ET the cable.was transacted to-day at c.: : Ingersoll, Ont., \u2018Aug.9.\u2014Offerings to-day, 402 \u2018boxes;
