Rev.J.L.Gil- mour, B.A., B.D.,, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, who has accepted a professorship in McMaster University, Toronto, was received yesterday by the church trustees with surprise and regret.The letter containing the announcement leaves, it is understood, no ground for the belief that he may be REV.J.L.GILMOUR, B.A, B.D.induced to reconsider his decision to re tire from the active ministry.It stated that he purposes entering immediately upon his professorial duties, For the past few months ill-health has prevented Mr.Gilmour from attending to the duties of his pastorate, and he is at present in Saratoga, so that members of his congregation were totally unaware that he contemplated taking this step at the present time, though some of them were aware that he had some time ago been offered and had refused the profes: sorship.Mr.Gilmour came to this city from Hamilton six years ago, and has been popular both as preacher and pastor.During his pastorate the new Olivet Baptist Church has been erected.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 CAR TRACK INTERSECTIONS NEW RAILS BEING LAID PORTANT CORNERS.The intersections which the Montreal Btreet Railway Company is laying at the corners of St.Catherine and Bleury sireets, and St.Catherine and Letour- neau streets, are in some respects unique.They are made of manganese steel, and designed to carry heavy traffic for twelve years without being replaced.The special work for the corner of St.Catherine and Bleury streets was done in England, gt the Hatfields Steel Works, Sheffield, while the other intersection at Letour- nteau street was built by the Montreal Bteel Company.Concrete roadbeds have been laid down, and the work is of a specially fine character.The Bleury street intersection is being paved with scoria blocks, and when completed the crossing will be an excel Jent piece of work.No less than ten kegs of bolts will have been used in this one piece.Mr.Hannaford, chief engi peer of the Montreal Street Railway, is

Westmountl's represeuta- tives on Saturday afternoon, the flual score being forty points to nil.From the outset there was never the slightest doubt as to which team would win, and the question narrowed itself down to the size of the score.Montreal completely outclassed their opponents in every department of the gare.The play or the Montreal wing and the scrimmage left little to \u2018e desired.They simply smothered the Westmount players, and broke through at will.Play was fair- iy open, bui at several stages confined itself solely to scrimmage work.Whea Moutreal had matters going nicely, the ball came out with machine-like precision to Gordon, who either kicked the line, or vaszed to the backs, who ran or kicked for large gains.For the most part the game was remarkably free from rougn play, and the best of feeling prevailed between the opposing teams.Westmount\u2019s scrimmage men preseated a pretty strong front to their opponents at first, but weakened ' considerably as the game progressed, the- strain to which they were subjected being too severe.The wings, however, could not successfully hot dthelr oppanets, and it was partially on this account that such a large mumber of points was scored.The work of JW.Molson deserves special mention.He figured more prominently in the game, \"perhaps, than any other of the forwards, and converted four of /the six goals kicked, one of them being from a most difficult angle.On the Montreal back «\u201ciwision, Ruseel, Stinson and Cralg made several nice runs, while P.Molscr\u2019s strong punting was a feature.Yet rode of the backs handled tho ball cleanly, and hal their opponents been more formidable, the fumbles would have been very costly.This was more noticeable on the part of Craig and Molson, especlaily tbe former, although in several cases it was pardonable by reason of the poorness of the passing.Stinson proved an adept at kicking, and Russell also pla! his position well, Westmount made a gallant stand at all periods of the game, but could make no headway.Bigeiow, who was nt first piac- ed on the half lihe, although possessing abundant weight, lacked speed, and failed to kandie the ball fast enough for his team mates.He was later moved to the forward line, where his weight made itself felt.The back line also proved weak in compariron with -Monfreal Smaill received pretty hard usage by Montreal men through lack of protection: by the Westmount wings, and was so badiy hurt that he bad to reire from the game.As he had p d himself equal to almost\" any half on ee in gainiag ground, his absence

rapidly and effectively, and tackled well.Crankshaw filled Smaill\u2019s place with credit.Montreal went across Westmount's line no less than seven times, four of the tries being ccnverted.Ot the forty polnts, twenty-four were scored in the third quarter.when Westmount was outclassed completely.In the first quarter Craig and Moison each scored after nice runs around the end.No peints were made in the second quarter, although Montreal held the ud- vantage at all times.Murphy, Savage, Walter Mclson .and Kingston flgured in the scoring in, the final quarter, Molson getting two goals.The manner in which the game was handled, was \u201cfqvorably commented upon in all quarters.% Few players showed any disposition to question the rulings of the officials, and if they did soon found that no advantage was to be galned by dolag so.The teamsi\u2014 Montreal\u2014i0.g Westmount\u2014.Stinson .Full back .Crankshaw P.Molson .Halves .Bigelow Craig .\u2026 .Halves.Smaill Russell .Halves .,

Suther- jand, their right back, and Westmount be- tose iihout Macfarlane, their clever centre The score just about indicates the difference between the teams.Westmount bad hard luck in not scoring, and dut for the sensational work of Adams, the Poiats\u2019 custodian, undoubtedly would have.The Points also deserved at least one more goal.Gecrge, the centre forward, had beaten the backs completely, and had the goal completely at his niercy, but Baird negotiated a stizger, and also cleared the shot that Watt sent in from the rebound.The ground in places was very sticky,while at the north-west corner of the field a Miniature lake proved a stumbling block io the right wing attacking the western goal.Westmount lost the toss, and kicked off with a brilliant sun in thelr eyes.Points took the ball almost immediately into Westmount territory, but Payne rose to the occasion and cleared nicely.Play had not been long in progress before Watt netted the ball, only te be called back for offside.Betty and Houston got away,and Adams had to clear.For a time neither side had ary particular advantage until at length Davie Mackay, at outside right, who had been left uncovered, broke away down the wing and centred a beauty, which Munro put safely past Baird.Westmount attacked vigorously, and Adams brought off a couple of clever saves, ome close affer the other.Houston was particularly danger ous, and but for the wonderful work of the Points\u2019 goalkeeper, would have scored.Points were snon hammering away at the Westmount goal agaln, a mis-kizk by: Payne giving Watt the chance of

conspicuous.Whiteside spoiled a good opportunity virtually at the goal mouth by foullng Lorimer.The same player, a little later, shot over the bar after a good pass from outside left.\u2019 In the

exhibition of lacrosse to-day the Capitals defeated \u2018l'e- cumseh by 11 goals to 2.The score for the series of the home and home games is thus 15 to 3.The Indians put up but a sorry exhibition of lacrosse and the Capitals themselves have done better than they did on Saturday.The game was mot at all clean and although there was no one ruled off in the first half it was because the referee let a lot of indiscriminate stick handling go by unnoticed.The dirty play culminated in the third quarter in a free fight.Shea and Murton started the trouble by engaging in fisticuffs and Pringle and Querrie chipped in, the crowd broke on to the field and for a few minutes things looked ugly, finally order was restored all four delinquents being sent off for 20 minutes, which left them each exactly four minutes playing time.There were several other penalties for cross-checking and slashing during the second half.Manager Querrie,in speaking of the game afterwards, expressed some disgust with the miserable exhibition his team had put up and said: \u2018If the Tecumsehs can't play better lacrosse than this, they don\u2019t deserve to win.\" There was an attendance of between three and

York State, proved too strong for the picked marksmen of the Queen's Own Rifles, in the friendly inter-regiment mateh al Long Branch ranges this afternoon, winning by 98 points.There was very little breeze to interfere with the aim of the marksmen; what there was being from the couth-wes- quarter.A slight haze proved rather disccncerting to the Queen's Own Rifle shots, who were placed under somewhat of a disadvantage, as compared with rhe Buffalorians, whose Krag-Jorgenson rifles were equipped with more finely adjusted sights.Ord.-Sergt.Levshner, of the 74th Regl.topped the winners\u2019

most of the autumn sown crops in the province suffered considerably.As a consequence, some of the fall wheat was ploughed under in the spring, and many of the fields whjch were left yielded rather uneven crops.Quite a number of the co-operative experimenters reported a total failure with winter vetches and winter wheat, and in several cases even the rye was somewhat injured.At the College both wheat and rye came through the winter well, but the subsequent growth of the wheat was not as good as might have been expected, and on the whole, the yields were somewhat lower than those of last year.Among the sixty-one varietios grown this season, the Abundance stood first in yield with 50.4 bushels per acre, and the Prize Taker second with 50.2 bushels.These are both white wheats, very closely resembling the Dawson\u2019g Golden Chaff in all respects.The Abundance also gave the highest vield among - all the varieties grown in 1905 and is a very promising variety although not of the very best milling quality.It is interesting to note that this year of the comparatively hard red wheats\u2014 Russian Amber and Imperial Ambers\u2014 have come up to second and third places in yiedd of grain 49.8 and 49.4 third places in yield of grain with 49.4 bushels per acre respectively.All four varieties mentioned above were over the standard in weight, the Imperial Amber being the heaviest and weighing almost 63 pounds per bushel.The five varieties fring the heaviest weight per measured bushel in 1906 were North- Wester, Geneva.McPherson, Economy.and Auburn; these, however, were all rather low in yield with the exception of Auburn, which was fifth in weight per measured bushel and sixth in yield of grain per acre among the sixty-one varieties grown.Generally speaking, the white wheats yield more grain per acre, possess stronger straw.weigh a little less per measured bushel, and are slightly softer in the grain than the red varieties, At the present time efforts are being made to obtain improved strains of some of the best varieties by systematic plant selection, and while the ordinary seed of Dawson's Golden Chaff gave a comparatively lower yield than usual this year.of three new atrains of this variety.obtained dy the above mentioned method, each gave a much higher yield than any of the varieties in the regular test.fuch work is also being done along the

strong in the very fact that they are not self- seeking, we look for a gallant fight against the whole plundering horde.Their temptation is not so much personal selfishness as party exigencies.How to place public money where it will evoke the biggest subscriptions to party funds.No party in Canada is free from this infamy of bargaining for subserip- tions against contracis and patronage.Those who will not stoop to it must lose the governmeat business.We look, however, to our present Premier for a hrave fight against all graft.His record is good, as has been that of his predecessors.Ilis party has come through a very severe school in having had to redeem the finances of the province from the excesses of the Boucherville and Mercier regimes.Its mercenary adherents are bungry.no doubt\u2014very hungry.But here is where true principle stands firm and gives no quarter.Mr.Mackenzie represented himself as lying on his arms night and day to protect the public chest from plunder by those of his own ranks.Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere made a like gallant fight, and, though he was worsted in the battle, lost nothing in the esteem of, or honor from, the country.The best thing to be dome with the money, once it is secured, is to designate the whole of it to the greatest and most crying needs of our people, namely, education.It is all too little.No investment of it could yield larger immediate as well as prospective rewards.Nothing would meet with greater and more wholesome response frcm the ranks of the whole people than an educational campaign, Nothing could present a better plea, for where is the country in Christendom that is behind us in its\u2019 educational expenditures in proportion to the local value of money ?We, used to think Spain was, but now it is Rus-

within an hour after ; posting the notice of the failure on the door of the bank, by throwing himself before a train in a tunnel, about half a mile away from his place of business.Mr.Macfayden appears to have gone direct from his bank to a station of the City & South London Railway, to have entered the tunnel unobserved, and to have deliberately laid down in front of an approaching train.The engineers reported having run over an obstruction in the tunnel and a search revealed the shockingly mutilated body, which later was identified as that of Mr.Macfayden.It is rumored that the failure of P.Macfayden & Co., the London house of Arbuthnot & Co., bankers, of Madras, was corfnected with the cotton market, but as Mr.Macfayden was the sole partner in Europe it 1s difficult to obtain information on the subject.ANOTHER VICTI MR.HAAKON FOSTER, WHOSE SILVER WEDDING WAS BEING CELEBRATED, SUCCUMBS TO PTOMAINE POISONING.Hamilton, Ont., Oct.22.\u2014The casualty list of the Haakon Foster

represented the first district of Queen\u2019s in the Local Legislature since 1900.This summer he was nominated as the Liberal federal candidate for Queen\u2019s as a colleague of Mr.A.B.Warburton.He was born in 11658.+.(Correspondence of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) London, Oct.12.Everyone knows by this time that that ancient bulwark of the British constitution, the Londom \u2018Times,\u2019 has sold its birthright as the leader of high class journalism for a mess of pottage\u2014or, in other words, finding its aristocratic methods were not appreciated in a democratic age.it has of late years averted bank- ruptey by entrusting to a syndicate of American gentlemen the task of running certain commercial enterprises in conjunction \u201cwith the historic journal, and so replenishing the coffers of Printing House square.= The methods of this American syndicate dre In curious contrast to anything before associated with the \u2018Times,\u2019 being, in fact.conspicuous examples of the latest up-to-date style of transatlantie \u2018puffing\u2019 Two or three years ago they were recommending \u2018with disinterested ingenuity the wholesale purchase by the British public of a hopelessly antiquated edition of the \u2018Encyclopaedia Britane nica\u2019 Since then they have established for the benefit of the reading public \u2018The Times Book Club,\u201d which, like the previous enterprise, is laboriously lauded in column-long advertisements in the leading papers.The British people are invited, on condition of subscribing tor the \u2018Times\u2019 to become members of a large circulating library which, besides promising to supply any new book immediately on publication, offers the further inducement of an opportunity to purchase new books very shortly after publication at a price considerably below the ordi nary one.lt is said that the scheme has answered so far that the circulation où the \u2018Times\u2019 has been about doubled.but in order that the Book Club should not lose on its book trade more than it gained directly for the paper, it was necessary that publishers should be induced to supply new books on better terms to it than to others.The large number af copies required made the Book Club an important customer, and they have succeeded to some extent in obtaining from some publishers differential consideration, Now, however, they have failed, as the publishers say, to keep the spirit of the agreement which they, as well as others, have signed, not to seil new books under the usual retail price, and not to sell books as second-hand within six months of publication, and the publishers, through their association, are showing fight.They have combined to refuse to supply retail booksellers or wholesale firms with any books they publish at net prices unless their customers agree not to undersell or to supply any who will undersell.The success of this movement must, of course, depend on how far the whole of the publishers, or the most important of them, join the association, and it would seem that they feel fairly assured of their position, for it is understood that they have resolved to take steps to protect themselves, though the nature ot these steps is not divulged.\u2019 Meanwhile, it is of course a matter of life or death to the \u2018Times Book Club,\u2019 if it is to keep faith with its subscribers, that it should be able to force the booksellers to submit to its terms.It is posing as the champion of the public, and even of the authors, against the publishers in their attempt to \u2018create for their own profit a finn and permanent monopoly at the expense of the public by the \u2018arrogant decree\u2019 they have now issued, and the \u2018Times\u2019 points to the Book Club to prove there is at any rate \u2018one place in England at which the public can buy books without yielding to the exorbitant demands of the publishers.\u2019 The publishers have just issued to the press a letter repelling the charges of the \u2018Times,\u2019 which in its columns 18 vigorously asserting that the publishers business gets \u2018800 percent profits, and that they are guilty of a glaring injustice to the bookseller\u201d The former state ment the \u2018Times\u2019 itself has since tried to explain away, the latter is contradicted by the fact that the Associated Booksellers are pledging themselves to support the publishers in their action to maia- tain the interests of the booksellers.\u2019 Again, the \u2018Times\u2019 repeatedly refers to a dispute 50 years ago between the publsh- ers on the one hand and the authors and booksellers on the other, in which the publishers had to give way, as a parallel case, The publishers in their letter say: \u2018There is in fact no analogy be tween the two cases.To-day practical ly the only persons complaining are the \u201cTimes.\u201d who, instead of conducting this campaign for the benefit of the public, are actuated by motives of gain for themselves.Their present complaint actually is that they are unable to make so large a profit as they expected out of both the publishers and\u2019 the public.It will be interesting to follow the fortunes of the battle.Both sides have too much to lose to give in before they are obliged; but till the matter is decided.the bookselling business, the authors and the book-buying public are in various degrees rendered uneasy.\u2014\u2014 FREDERI( 1 ORCHARD- ESTATE.Mr.Justice Taschereau rendered judgment on Saturday discharging the deli- bere on a petition for

the official report for year enaing June 3Y, 1406.The profits for the year, after providing for interest and contingent accounts, were $271,845.As this is the first year that the company has allowed its report to be published, there are no previous figures for comparative purposes, although it 1s understood that the development of ali- round business has been very satisfactory to the directors and officials of the company.The paper trade has been in a most unfavorable condition throughout the year, but owing to the increased efficiency of the mills, resulting in more economic methods of production the output has increased about twelve percent, enabling tne aggregate profits to be kept at practically the same figure as for the preceding year.The profit and loss account shows a balance of $87,800.04 brought forward Irom last year, making with the profits an amount of $359,645.74 available for distribution.The sum of $96,000 was pald in dividends on common stock, and $84,000 m preferred dividends, with an appropriation of $20,000 for depreciation reserve, leaving a surplus of $159,645.74 to .be carried forward to credit of profit and loss account.After fixed charges and dividend payments on the preferred stock the company earned 11,74 percent on the capital stock oul- standing.The rate of dividend is six percent, the result is therefore distinctly satisfactory and reflects credit on the executive officers for their excellent ygar\u2019s Work.STANDARD UIL WILL HAVE STRONG RIVAL Berlin, Oct.22.\u2014A European petroleum oil trust has been registered at Bremen.The

is hardly possible yet to est'mate the amount of gold that will have to be brought to this country on account of the Ontario Bank trouble.The fact that nearly $4,- 000,000 gold was taken from New Tork and expressed to Carada last week is evideace that bankers having the matter in hand see the necessity for prompt action.In an emergency of this kind Canadian hanks naturally look to New York for gold.because they can obtain it promptly, and the time for tranemission ist short.There are two ways in which the Canadian banks can cbtain gold in New York.One is by calling in loans and converting thelr cash into gold.The other is to draw finance billis on London and buy gold with the.preceeds of these Lills.If they should cali in {heir loans, or any considerable part of them, the effect would be seen in higher rates for cali money.1f they sell finance bills there would be a sharp fall in foreign exchange.At the low point of demand sterling on Thursday the decline from the previous Friday's close was one cent on the pound, while the net decline for four days at Thursday's close was 80 points, or eight- tenths of a cent, according to the \u2018Wall Street Journal.\u201d This decline is too great to be accounted for by receipts of cotton bllls, although these may have helped to depress the market.But the export movement of cotton is not yet active.\u2018The situation Low is not unlike that which was caused by thc San Francisco disaster.We chall probably have to import gold to replace that sent to Canada,\u2019 continues the \u2018Journal,\u2019 \u2018in order to eu- able our bankers to import gold, rates of money must advance and rates of exchange must decline far enough to offset the just established 6 percent Bank of England rate, and a high price for bar gold in the London open market.\u2019 MARKET GOSSIP, As the result of the satisfactory financial records of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company during the past few ycars, Mr.Robert Meighen, the president and

Shares of Ontario Bank Thinks Judicial En= quiry Necessary.FORCED LIQUIDATION DEPRECATED BY OTHER AUTHORITIES Toronto, Oct.22.\u2014Franklin Bates Polson, owner of 120 shares of Ontario Bank stock, applied \u2018through his attorney, James Bick- nell, of Bicknell & Bain, for a winding up order for the bank on Salurday before Justice Mabee at Osgoode Hall.J.H.Moss opposed the motion on thc grounds of an affidavit made by W.E.Stavert, curator of the bank, to the effect that \u2018a winding up order would result in the most serious loss to the shareholders of the bank, both by reason of depreciation of the assets, through forced liquidation, and by reason of the great additional cost which would be thereby thrown on the estate.\u2019 Justice Mubee concurred In this view, and adjourned the motion sine die, giving either party the privilege of reviving it on 24 hours\u2019 notice.In the affidavits filed the terms on which the Bank of Montreal took over the Ontario Bank are set forth.It was pointed out, says Mr.Stavert, the curator of the bank, that a forced liquidation would result in serious loss to the shareholders, and possibly to the depositors.THE BANK OF MONTREAL

taking all necessary steps to conserve the property of the bank, and to realize on its assets to the best advantage.PROVISION MARKET An exceptienally heavy run of hogs has come in to the local stockyards since Sat- : urday, and though the packers are buying freely, it is only natural that such a sud-\u2019 den swelling of the offerings should have a bad effect on the market.Trade has been dull all summer, and in nearly all the packing houses the staff has been reduced, which makes it difficult for a sudden and heavy increase in tho deliveries to be handled with the necessary despatch.Prices varied on the Jocal \u201cmarket, accord- \u2018ing to the quality of the stock and time spent In transit, some sold as low as 6%¢ per pound, and the top price is said to Have been 6%c, contract lots bringing that figure in some cases ; 6%c¢ was the ruling quotation.Prices of fresh killed abattoir dressed \u2018hogs nave declined agaln in sympathy with thé live stock, and from $9 to 39.25 per hundred pounds is asked to-day.The market for dressed hogs is lower on account of the heavy arrivals of live hogs, and country dressed arc selling to-day at from $3.40 to $8.50 per 100

the six percent discount rate of the Bank of England would prove effective in stemming the outflow of gold.American securities had an exciting morning.Saturday's break in Wall Street caused a heavy liquidation here, and there were many sales from the Continent.At the opening values were over a point below Saturday, but good suppert was soon forthcoming, and there was quite a bonm before noon; prices rushed up two points from the lowest quotations, and the whole list practically recovered the parity loss.Some good American buying orders helped the recov- , ery, which was also aided by the report | that the Bank of France was prepared to | assist the Bank of England to the extent of thirty or forty million dollars in gold.FRANCE WATCHING THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, Paris, Oct.22.\u2014The leading French financiers are keenly watching the monetary situation abroad.The position of Paris is fairly good, and the prevailing iinpres- sion is that the Bank of France will not hurt French interests by raising its discount Tate.While Jt is considered possible that the Bank of France might make a moderate loan of gold to the Bank of England to relieve the conditions there, it would ,it is asserted, resist withdrawals of gold for America.A prominent international banker expressed the opinion to the Associated Press to-day that United States would not get much more gold here, as the bank would block any attempts in that direction, not by raising the discount rate, but by exercising its option to pay in silver.He said he expressed the view of ithe French bankers when he voiced the opinion that the United States had enough funds for legitimate requirements of trade, ; and that there was no reason, why Euroge t should help to firance the speculative move- | ment in New York.DAIRY PRODUCE i Cheese operators gave consistent support {to their reports of a dull market by giving i their buyers a low limit on the boards.{ At Brockville, on Saturday salesmen Who had been counting on receiving 13c, had | to sell for 12%c or carry over their stock.{ Throughout the county the same conditions prevailed and though as high as 12 11-16c was paid this was considerably above the | ruiing price which showed a decline of ! about l4c to 3c from last week.\u201c Very few orders are coming in from the ! British markets and very little new busi- { ness is being worked, the shipments going ! forward being on account of previous or- : ders.On the local market there is quite a \u2018range in the prices quoted, some 'holdeTs of fancy western colored are firm at 13c to 13%c, while others quote from 12%c to lic.Easterns are steady at 12%c¢ to 1234c.He- ceipts to-day were 8,222 boxes.Butter js quiet, the demand being purely of domestic nature, no export business being workable under existing market conditions.Fancy Townships creamery 15 quoted at 23%c in lots and jobbers are getting 24%c to 25c, according to quantity and quality.There is a very good demand for dairy at 19¢ to 20c¢ per pound.Receipts oI butter to-day were 269 packages.TRADE REVIEW Toronto trade reports to Bradatreel\u2019s say: \u2014Thanks largely to the Canadian Banking Association the disaster which befel the Ontario Bank the other day had but very little effect upon general business conditions here.The fact that all assets were taken over, and all liabilities guaranteed, at once allayed anything in the way of panic that might have taken place.The local stock market showed some slight uu- easiness for a day or two, but easily recovered.General business conditions are good.There is a good movement in wiole- sale trade here.Good sortiug orders for seasonable lines are coming forward, and the outlook cootinues to favor a heavy trade during the winter and the spring.Orders for beavy libes of hardware ara good.Metals also are in active demand.Heavy shipments of goods are going West.The dry goods trade reports a good sorting movement.Values generally hold firm, and in some cases manufacturers\u2019 deliver- jes are still slow.Country trade is brisker.Recelpts of produce here Go not show much increase.Butter and cheese hold 4 firm tone, and are in demand for export.Eggs have advareed sharply.Grain prices are firm, but business fs light.There 1s still a scarcity in choice cattle, although plenty of other kinds are coming forward.Hogs are firm, with few offering, and there is a resulting firmness in provision prices.Hamilton trade reports to Bradstreet\u2019s gay: \u2014All lines of business continue ex- ceedingl yactive.Sorting orders are good, and mostly are for large supplies of gouds, and the outlook favors a good business all through the winter.Receipts of country produce are light, and values generally hold firm.Collections are good.Vancouver and Victoria:\u2014AII lines of retail and wholesale trade here are moving briskly.The demand for seasonable lines is active, and from interior points there is a brisk enquiry for groceries and hardware, and particularly for supplies for the lumbering and mining camps.There is a continued rapid growth lu the activity of these two industries.Lumbermen are exceedingly busy, and prices arc steadily advancing.Mills, too, are generally working overtime.This part of the country promises to supply fruit for Central and Western Canada, Crops of past year have been exceedingly heavy, and growers have reallzed good prices.The shipping trade all along the coast is very busy.BANK OF MONTREAL is hereby given that a DIVI- DRSD OF TWO AND-ONE-HALF PERCENT upon the paid up Capital Stock of this Institution has been declared for the current Quarter, and that the same will be PAYABLE at its Banking House in (MS City, and at its Branches, on and after SATURDAY, the Frst DAY OF DECEMBER next, to Shareholders of record of November.He Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders will be held at the Banking House of the Institution on, Monday, tbe ird Day of December next.ms chair to be taken at NOON, By order of the Board, E.S.CLOUSTON, General Manager.Montreal, 16tb October, 1906.\u2014 Po dc By M MARRIAGE LICENSES MONEY TO LEND.CUSHING & BARRON Notaries and Commissioners, Liverpooi & London & Globe Insurance Bullaing.112 St.James Street, MARRIAGE LICENSES, Real Estate and Insurance, Properties Managed.Evenings 7 to 10.WILLIAM P.RANSOM, 226 Elin Avenue .- Westmounr MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED BY JOHN M.M.DUFF, 107 St.James Street, 49 Crexcent Street STEEL STAMPS For Stamping Wood, Leather and Metal.WALKER & CAMPBELL, GENERAL ENGRAVERS, Manufaeturers of Rubber stamps & Stencila Brass Signs, Corporation Seals, Etc.CORNER McGILL and NOTRE DAME ST3, Tel.Main 775.Carpet Sweepers Repaired ULLEY\u2019'S BRUSH WORKS 76 Victoria Square 78 Telephone M.2540.GOLDEN WHEAT AND WHITE MOUNTAIN BREAD: PHONE US FOR A TRIAL LOAP.R.8.AULD, 557 St.Antoine, Cor.Atwater Ave.TEI.MOUNT 13, PLANNING FOR HOUSECLEANING In your plans count us in to clean your lace curtains.Be these tbe finest you can depend on our methods.R.PARKER & CO., Dycrs and Cleaners.Montreal, Que.\u20ac%0 Bt.Catherine 85.W.Cor.Mountain St.anit 392 Notre Dame St, West.Phones: Bell (Up} 3011, Main 1597.JACKSON & CO.CAR!
