[" => THOSE WHO MAY VOTÉ IN CIVIG ELECTIONS Important Report Has Been Made at City Hall.PAYMENT OF PERSONAL TAXES All Such Must Be Squared Before the First of Next Month.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 On account of the misunderstanding whicu cx.8 in toe city as to cwvic enact ments ranchimng citizens for pon-pay- ment of the water and other personal taxes a report has just been prepared at the City Hall.showing tha all persons who settle with the corporation for such taxes, up to the last of the present month are entitled to vote.Much useful and timely information is | given in the report.Many ciuzens were of the opinion that if the water and personal taxes were not paid iu September they could not regain their right to vote.This impression 13 shown to be erroneous, and clause 48 of the City Charter is quoted to prove this.The clause reada as followa: hi 48.\u2014No persop qualified to vote as tenant shall be entitled to have his name entered on the voters list for any of the wards of the city, who.on the first of December ng the completion of the ist, aball be indebted to the city for any taxes, assesaments, etc.\u2019 \u201cje be fe db fe cie do of fo ofe vie Jo efe fe fe be fe he de à | WHAT PERSONAL TAXES ARE.On account of the haziness as to what personal taxes consist of, it is pointed out that they consist of the water tax, dog tax, tax om horses and carriages, wag- gone livery stables, pawnbrokers.second dealers, museums, concert aalls, danc- bas halls, halls where theatrical perform.anes are held and all placer of amusement whatsoever.Tax on peddler, agent and solicitor for stages, cars.vessels, Lackman, certer, drayman, expressman.porter, hawker.huckster, itin\u2018'ant trader, book agent.canvawer, chimney-sweep, public vendor.As will be seen by the above, what is termed the \u2018\u201c\u2018personal\u201d\u2019 tax covers a fairly wide field.Any person or persons paying their taxes on the above, however.up to the last day of the present month will not be deprived of voting at the civic elections on ebruary 1 next.As to the assessments on real estate.the law, it is explained, is somewhat different.So jong as as proprietors are solvent and the city can properties for taxes, the right to vote at civic electjons does not cease if taxes are not pax on the last of November.So soon as the assessors complafe the Te by Traore k,n.r, to the City has his pt go through te ea show who are indebt to the city for - personal taxes.From these rolls the voting list is finally made up.IMPORTANT JUDGMENT RENDERED IN MATTER OF SEIZURES.The whole jurisprudence in hed matter of seizures has been pest b: udgment rendered mn a seizure by yor Cochrane against Mr.Jamez MeShane, tor- mer Mayor, and now Harbour Master.The Mayor holds a judgment for #$2.102 and costs, agamst the Harbour Master, and in March last put a seizure in the bands vi the Harbour Commissioners, as well us in the hands of leer, Climie & Co, against whom Mr.McShane had brought an action for damages.The courts cided in favour of Mr.McShane in the action againet the Telfer, Chnue Company, and awarded ihe Harbour Master $610 damages, for injuries received through having been run over by a runaway team belonging to the firm.Mr.Telfer, president oi the company, deciared that his nirm owed Mr.Me Shane that amount, and deposited 1t in court, while Mr.David Neath, secreiary of the Harbour Board.declared that the Harbour Commissioners had to pay the Harbour Master's salary.Mr.McShane contested both seizures.His attorney, Mr.E.A.D.Morgan, m- voked the jurisprudence which held that demages for personal wrongs or damages were not seizable.He also invoked the statute which renders the salames of public officers exempt from seizure.On the latter point he succeeded in having the Mayor's sei zure set aside.but the court held that there was nothing in the law which rendered the amount of damages awarded to Mr.McShane exempt from seizure in execution of a judgment.SEEKING TO RECOVER PROPERTY REMOVED.A seizure has been issued in the Superior Court on petition of Messrs.C, E.on and the other heirs at\u2019 pa of late C.E.Gagnon jr., presented by Messrs.Green- shields, Grecnshields, Heneker and Mitchell, to attach ali the goods and merchandise which were removed from the office yesterday by N.Hoffman, of New York, and other parties.The plaintiffs allege that after the death of Mr.C.E.Gagnon jr., the principal defendant, Hoffman, came on from New York, and going down to the office of the deceased, pretended that he was owner, or represented the owners of the goods contained in the office, for the bumness carried on as a manufacturer's agent.With the assistance ot one of the dertef he removed everything in the office, val ed by the beirs-at-inw at $1,000.They are now seeking to recover that property.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Strest Railway Case.The judgment of the Superior Court in the case of Walker va Montreal Street Railway, which was carried to appeal by the company, was to-day confirmed by the Court of King's Bench.The appeal was from a judgment by which $1,899 were awarded to the respondent, in accordance with the verdict of the jury.as damages for personal injuries suffered by the respondent, while descending from a car of the company appellant.The car left the track and the jury found thht the respondent Soave a nervous shook and a physical shoc Site.Rose Electoral List.Justies Robidoux (ods fixed the Mr.Des o Vote clootoral Tiré où of h inst int the \u2026 parñish of jr al vig for Derember 7th, andy that of SE a the gained ral lists ber 16 VOL.XXXV.No Alone in the big barbour, the Jast of the loug hne of ships to slip out to the tide, the 88.Toronto is lving at her berth toda > ongahoremen are swarming all over her.The ractie of ber donkey eng ne seems strange in the desolate water.Her cargo of steel rails ie being hapdled with something akin to feverish haste.Soon she will be ready to swing out to the sea.But she 13 not going to be any too soon.The 83.Toronto has her work cut out to get down.the river.She has -ut it a!

While much that comes from the Fitz- simmons quartere relative to the ex-cham- pion\u2019a condition is taken with a grain of salt by local sporting men, it must be admitted that Fitzeimmons is suffering from a cold and that he has blistered his feet by his excessive road work.i Another crowd journeyed to Croll's Garden yesterday to see Fitzsimmons box.Mrs.Fitzsimmons held the watch and called time for the big dellows as they went through eight rounds of boxing.First Joe Kennedy boxed a round and then Sam Berger sparred the next.The crowd cheered as they finished the last round, which was one of hard punches and fast work.; \u201cl never did feel right before a fight in my life,\u2019 said Fitzsimmons after his work-out.\u201cThen I read in the papers that * Foxy ' Fitz 1s telling stories about his bad condition to influence the bet ting.It makes me crazy to see that * Foxy' Fitz in the papers.\u201d ROD AND GUN Another Case of Mistake.Boston, November 25.\u2014 His yellow moccasins being mistaken for the legs of a deer, William Osgood, one of two guides who accompanied a Me.Smith and A.H.Burden, of Boston, into J the woods near Vancebore, Me., was shot and wounded by the latter, dying shortly after from his injury.e bullet entered Osgood's leg obliquely, severing the large artery and shattering the bone.Dr.Oamartin, of Franklin, who was in camp at Rock Haven, was soon on the spot.He summoned assistance from Vanceboro, and every effort was made to save Us- good\u2019s life, but without success.A large number of gunners from Philadelphia city, who were up along the Reading Railway's man line, returned home last week with lent y .À y © our - oA t Lari the Perkiomen \u201calley about 60 rabbits and 12 squirrels.At the Huntingdon street station fully 200 Tabbite were unioaded onto the station latform.Good sport is re in Rox- Porough in lose proximity: to: Fairmount pes © T.J : C.T.Jones six rab~ bits, and Frank Willard returned with seven oottom-tails, \u2014-\" CU A large black bear was killed near the town of Dusbore, Sullivan Co., Pa., day last week.This is a farming community and a bear in that section is something unusual.The lumbering recently started in the big timber land on the Schrader Oreek has driven many deer and bear to seek new quarters, and hunters in that section are anxiously await the first heavy More bears have been seen through Bradford and Sullivan counties this fall than for many years.Shinnecock Bay is eriencing one of the largest fights of wild fowl witnessed in years, and the waters now literally teen with all kinds of ducks.Mr.Schuyler, a well-known Manhattan sportsman, who has been enjoying a few days\u2019 shooting in that locality, has been bags of twenty and thirty ducks a day.the ducks is a Jarge preponderance of rn heads, this valuable variety having increased considerably in num , owing, perhaps, bo the presence of certain aquatic plants, which have made an ap- ce since the opening of the canal.The ducks now in the bay are mostly what sre known as transitory birds, which remain pot more than a fortnight at the most before continuing the flight southward.BASEBALL Does Not Like the Scheme.It would take a financier of rare ability to pilot the league made up of Eastern and Amencan 3 ont cities.Quarter ball would make it necessary to have enormous crowds in order to pay for the long jumps.1t\u2019s a flimsy sct.eme.\u2014 Worcester Spy.The Little Rock Club is negotiating with three Pittsburg players, namely, shoristop De Mows, catcher Ortleib and pitcher Kom- mer.The Athletic Club, of Philadelphia, has signed pitcher Jud Daly, of Webster, Mass, who hss achieved a reputation among independent clubs.National League, is lying seriously ill with typhoid fever at the home of his sister, Mrs.G.A.Felker, in Milwaukee.To, Tbs Ime J i old a ng : >| 24, to outline a schedule and decide about entering the National Association.President Holland, of the Indiana-IJF-.nois-Towa ©, atètes thet Peorie hes- applied for admission, and declares be no change in the circuit.Baltimore plans to use Hugh \u2019enni on Baltimore plane to ae TE Does & B go th- maker when right.mé dr Be da season th | Fai, iE oui, gs | * Toronto \u201chas 1 pures wen gs te ted | al- [+ to Jimmy Jones, former New York outs ;

Pictou; Mr.Chas.Tanner, M.L.A.for Pictou and Cun- servative organizer for the county: and Mr.Wilharg MacKay.the candidate for the riding, addressed a public meeting in Roeslyn Rink, uvder the auspices of the R.L.Borden Club.~The rink, which holds about 3.000, was packed to its limit and great enthusiasm prevailed t out.Mr.Borden rece: ed u splendid ovation and spoke for nearly two hours.He began by dealing with the Grand Trunk project.It wus, he sad not until five months from the commence ment of the session that the bill was in troduced.The Prime Minister.in introducing the hill, declared that a great crisis had apisen demanding 1mwediate action.The r was the repeal of the bonding privilege hy the United States but since then this revson has béen taken to back und.The true ongm of the trans-continental scheme was the dese of the Grand Trunk Railway to build min the North-West and the desire ot «vrtun gentlemen in Quebec 16 vhtam ad for a railway project known as the Trans-Can- Railway.WHAT COST WILL BE.The scheme propoel by Government will cost, according to Mr.Blair, one bundred and twenty millions of dollars.If built according to th.» requirements laid down by Mr.Charlton, who spoke as the Government expert on this subject, it will cost a great deal more.It is to be oon: trolled absolutely by the Grand Trunk, and although certain conditions are inserted in the contract between the Government and the Grand Trunk Pacific with respect to transportation through Cenadian territory and to Canadian ports, pone of these conditions are imposed upon the Grand Trunk Railway.There are no stipulators to prevent the company from coarrving that freight to Portland and shipping it from that port.The Opposition offered several amendments re- uiring conditions to be imposed upon the od Trunk,compelling that company to transmit over jan territory and from Candian ports all traffic carried over the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.OUTLINED CONSERVATIVE POLICY.Mr.Borden then outlined the Conservative policy, an important Téatüre of which was the extension of the Intercolonial Railway from Montreal to Georgian Bay.Between fifteen and twenty million of dollars were expended by the present Government in extending the Intercolonial Railway from Levis to Montreal a few years ago, with the avowed object of competing for the great trade of the West.That t has not been obtained.and for the very simple reason that the Inter colonial Railway has not at Montreal the ccnnections which would enable it to control trade from the West.That trade is brought by the Canadian Pacific.Grand Trunk and Canadas Atlantic.The first two have their own eastern connections.\u2014the Canadian Pacific with St.Johd and the Grand Trunk with Portland.By an extension of the Intercolonial Railway to Georgian Bay.a very large portion of the western trade could be secured.On the shores of Georgian Bay the other on railways compete with each equal terms for traffic, which goes by ateamer.An extension of the Intercolo- nial could be accomplished by the acquisition of the Canada Atlantic Railway or by the building of another line.The result would be that a very large portion of western traffic would be brought to Canadian ports: that very considerable business would be done by the ports of the Maritime Provinces, and above all the In- tercolonial Railway would be strengthened and developed.DIRECT AND COMPETING LINE.He mid that such an extension will mean much to Sydney and other places of importance in tbe Maritime Provinces, because it will give them a direct and competing line, owned by the people of that country, the rates upon which can always be controlled by the people.The Conservative policy is one which will cost the people of this country not more than one-third of the estimated cost of the Government project.It is a policy which can be brought mto operation at once.It is a policy which will afford reasonable control of rates and which will ensure car riage over the Intercolonial to Canadian ports of a very considerable portion of our .western trade.It means a continued, use- fui existence and development of the In- tercolonial Raliway, while the policy of the Government means the eventual ac quisition by the Grand Trunk Railway of the Intercolonial Railway.\u201cI have not.\u201d he said.\u201cone word to say against the Grand Trunk Railway.It is a t corporation.and those who control it have a right to watch the interests of the company.but the Government of the country is bound to guard the country's interests and to see to it that the public moneys of this country are not expended in developing ports in the United States.\u201d THE FISCAL POLICY.The fiscal policy of the Government was next treated of and speaking to peo- le of the Maritime Provinces in particular id: \u201cBecause of the splendid field e : offered here for development of industries, you of people, ate specially interested in a policy of adequate protec: tion, a policy which has been propounded not ae place or aceident demand, but ai all times and in every part of the country.We stand for a policy of adequate protection to Canadian industries.We sténd for a policy of Canada for Canadians and we are net ashamed of that policy nor afraid to announce it in every part of the country.\u201cl announced it in the West as well as In the East and I am glad to say that in the West as well as in the East it met the approval of the ple.1 introduced « resolution in the House in 1901, 1902 and 1908.declating that this country requires a declared policy of such adequate protection to its labour, agricultural products, manufactures and industries, as will at all times secure the Canadian market for Canadians.These resolutions were voted down by supporters of the Government at the call of their leaders, and I regret.that the representatives of this county, a county which, of ail, places in Canada should stand for an adequate protective tariff.not only gave no support to the policy which I thus put forward, but.cast their votes in favour of the policy of uncertainty and inaction pursued y the present administration.\u201d

its surplus.lt x not so long since the present Minister of Finance inveighed against surplus.It is not zo long since the Prime Minister and he declared that every dollar of revenue beyond the neces sities of the country was taken wrongiully from the pockets of the people.But, let us remember that this revenue is derived from imports, many of which should be manufactured or produced in our cwn country.\u201cLet us remember that if one half of the manufacturing industries of Canada were closed, if your steel works in Sydney were closed, and if products now manufactured were imported from the Unned States our volume of imports would show a corresponding increase.Our revenue would be still more buoyant, and according to the theory of the Minister of Finance the country would be correspondingly more Tosperous.We do not so regard it.We believe that the closing down of your great industries and consequent increase of foreign importation, means calamnity and not blessing to the country.\u201d In closing, Mr.Borden referred to work that was being done by the Liberal: Conservative party all over Canada.They were perfecting their organization and pre paring for the

Queen's Hall.HE 1S AGAINST TAX ON FOOD London Times Says the Eyes of the Duke are Riveted on the Past.London, November 25.\u2014The Duke of Devonshire presided, and was principal speaker at a great demonstration in the Queen's Hall here last night, under tne auspices of the Free Food League.It was the Duke's first public speech since his resignation as Lord President of the Council, and the first really important meeting of the Free Fooders as an offset to the active propaganda of the Tariff Reform League.The hall was packed, and the prominent personages, were given a tremendous reception.The Duke of Devonshire \u2018was given a great welcome.He said: \u201cThere might be differences of opinion concerning the extent to which retallation might legitimately go.Some members of the League were not altogether opposed to some form of protection; but they were all united and prepared to resist to the utmost the imposition of any \u2018protective taxation on food, or protective dutles generally.He himself elaimed the right to oppose anything in the nature of a return to protection.\u201d Prolonged cheering followed this statement of the Duke.Continuing, the speaker said that while the fiscal policy was n yet a party question, there was nothing which the advocates of the scheme, which emanated from the brain of a single eminent statesman, would like better than a general election which would turn on this question alone.The Duke said the meeting was the result\u201d of Unlonists desiring to urge on the Government the danger of taking a certain course, and the expediency of resisting a cértain course.It was not the policy of the Unionist Government which was before the country.The put- ite liked a clear iagpe, and such an issue had been placed before them by Mr.Chamberiain, who left the Government fin order that he might be free.Cheers and hisses followed this mention of Mr.À Chamberlain.SAID POLICY WAS INDEFINITE.The Duke urged that the policy of the Government must be more clearly dee fined.At present it was indefinite.He had tendered his resignation becausé he could not as the representative of the } Government in the House of Lords express unqualified confidence In the policy of the Cabinet concerning which he had grave misgivings and insufficient knowledge.Had he been assured that a moderate use of the proposed of retaliation Would be made, by the PILL-OBOPHY.\u2014~There are ts and pitte\u2014but Dr.Agnew's Liver s at 10 cents a vial lead in demand.The sale.borders on the.phénomenal.Bluggish\u2019 liver.constipation, or lar bowels

retaliation, but ft would only make matters worse, in addition to thé exist- hostile tariffs against themselves, if they Built up walls which would prohibit and restrict the importation of goods which for their own advantage they took from other nations.The Duke said he was opposed to the taxation of food because he thought that such taxation was the keynote of the éntire policy to which he took exception.Should the price of food be raised some compensation must be given to the workingmen He recognized the great services of Joseph Chamberlain.He was pre to prove that Mr.Chamberlain's Glas budget would entail a tremendous loss to the consumer, while the workingman's expenses would be Increased 10 per cent.He beliéved that no greater fallacy has even been produced than that prohibition or restriction of imports from abroad would increase the profitable employment of capital and labour at hofne.The country was prospering everywhere, yet Mr.Chamberlain asserted that only stagnation existed.Alluding to Mr.Chamberlain's charge that he (the Duke of Devonshire) was \u2018\u2018a drag on the wheels of progress,\u2019 the speaker sald he was content to act as a drag on the engine which was running down grade against all signals.A RESOLUTION ADOPTED.Lord Goschen moved, and Lord George Hamilton seconded, the following resolution, which was passed by an overwhelming vote: \u201cThis meeting, while prepared to consider in a friendly spirit any measures the Government may submit to Parlla- ment in special seasion for mitigating the effects of hostile tariffs, is of opinion that strenuous opposition should be offered to any fiscal policy involving the protective taxation of food and the establishment of a general preferential or protective system.\u201d FREE TRADERS ARE PLEASED.The speech of the Duke of Devonshire last night has given the Free Trade party the keenest satisfaction, it mot having been expected that he would take such a decided attitude on the question.- Great attention is given to the Duke of Devonshire's ironical reference to Mr.Balfour's practical relinquishment of the leadership to Joseph Chamberlain, and to his query as to how long the Conservatives would be content to allow the former Colonial Secretary to assume all the dutles, privileges and responsibilities of the leadership.The Dally Mall calls the Duke of Dev- onshire a

Parliament, declared last night, in the Queen's Hall.against any semblance of protection.He admitted that moderate retaliation might sometimes be exercised, but food taxation was the keystone of the whole policy to which he objected.He alsh objected to a preference in any shape or form.The revenue might gain eight million pounds a year by the Glasgow budget and provide a subsidy of two and a half million pounds to the colonies.Canada would get three shillings two pence a head, Australia one shilling eleven pence; New Zealand six shillings eight and a half-penny, and South Africa the magnificent sum of three pence per head of the whole population.He found, he sald, no trace of any definite offer on the part of the Colonies.The speaker was frequently interrupted by Mr.Chamberlain's supporters.Lord Goschens who also spoke, urged that strenuous opposition should be offered to the taxation of food, and a general preferential tariff.While England was considering protection, he said the United States was favouring a lower tariff.Sir Michael Hicks-Beach did not speak.+ COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.The Times this morning, referring to the Duke of Devonshire\u2019's speech, says the eyes of the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Goschen are riveted on the past.The Daily News says it Is the one clear note in a tumult of discordant voices.The Daily Chronicle says the speech shows Unionist dissent against the Cham- berlain-Balfour policy, and that it bas backbone and grit.The Dally Telegraph says the speech tells foreigners: \u201cYour assault is an unjustifiable offepce, but under no circumstances will I hit you back, for I might damage my knuckles.\u2019 MR.FOSTER SPEAKS AGAIN.Mr.\u2018Foster, speaking at Peterborough last night, said he was astonished at Mr.Asquith and Mr.Morley stating that Canada was not asking preferential tariff.Canada had been asking it since 18%, Mr.Asquith, speaking at Barnstaple last night, sald that foreign public markets did not shut English goods out.The United States was the only market where there was a revenue falling off in the export trade through the tariff.AL LIGHTING.= Mayor of Chicago Bays City Will \u2018Enter This Field, Chicago,

copper, 0.99 per cent.The net profit in excess of all expenditures was $228.358.90, which has covered the in- dehtedricas of the company and left a surplus of $&%,151.12 In the treasury, The report states that the development work of the year has continued tv add to the great masses of ore too low in grade for sfelting.but rich enough to afford a profit to successful milling.Now that the rmiil of the Rossland Power Company as sures an outlet for these ores within a few months, their contents will soon be available.I} is impossible to present any reliable estimate of their quantity or pre- cige value, because their limits have not been defined, and until milling begins they cannot be exposed and sampled ac curately without excessive expense.They occur in extensive bodies 15 to 9% feet in width, and exposed very imperf wtly by the mine workings, since these have in the past been directed to the exposure of smelting ore bodies only.The report announces that a preliminary mill of 20 tons daily capacity.but designed for prompt enlargement to 400 tons, is now being built by the Rossiand Power Company, Limited, and is located upon the line of the Canadian Pacific Rallway near the town of Trail.It is expected to begin operations by early spring, affording the desired outlet for the milling ores of the Centre Star and War Eagle mines.Special Notice.The Best Succeeds the Best.Willis & Co.report a great increase this year in the sale of all their best pianos, among the more educatsd and, refifhed classes This le\u2019 true of the Knabe ptano, the Newcombe piano, the Bell plano and the Dominion piano, and of all Willis & Co.'s leading makes, It will be worth while for our readers to visit the select pariors of Willis & Co., and bear these pianos for tb Ives.Two hundred (200) pianos to choose Remember the dumber, 2476 Bt.aa ba rene ee DE Or re i OC pe ELF PXSRARED x 5 Bb sn cu = 5 = en H eng Ra A a Lu x THE MONTREAL DAILY STAR\u2014WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER: 25.1803.\" ings have reached a t be expected before the winter is over.the situation encouraging indeed.3 i : 3 ;

purchases were made not only for the home account.but for the Continental, and especially the French and German ac- counta.Dealers were at first inclined to look upon this as a mere flash in the pan and for the time were satisfled to purchase options, but when eventually the market was found to be bear on consols to an estimated extent of £2,000,000 dealers began to buy consols, home rallways and so on outright.RAILWAYS AND ELECTRICITY.\u2014It is claimed that the contract awarded the General Electric Co.by the New York Star Office, Wednesday, November %.The decrease of $23,000 in last week's traffic receipts of cific Railway is ascribed to a special set of circumstances governing this season's volume of grain.carrying business, and is not looked upon #8 indicating a general falling off in business.For the same week last year the earnings were 393.000 and this year $810.000.Since July of $19,385,080, an increase of $2,059 western roads in the United States, subject to many of the important factors which affect Canadlan Pacific trafffc business.is keeping up better than many officials expected it would à fortnight agv.uncovered no backwardness to the situation, and in some respects it has shown a moderate improvement.Traffic men are just as positive In their assertions that the railways will have plenty to or six months as they were before the vast amount of surplug freight and before general business had reached Its apparent that can cause congestion is unfavourT thorough survey of the business prospects, people,, and have sized up the railway situation generally.claim to find Central Rallroad Co.for equipping the Street Gossip and Stock Exchange a Echoes.eB the Canadian Pa t the earn- 2 On the The past week has do during the next five apex.The only thing able operating weather.which is to Officials who have recently made a the general welfare of the PPOPOPERIVPPOOP PPO L000 Q 6606630 VHHHHTSHEHOHHHSH HS SHSEHHOHESSHSESHSHHTHES latter's terminal and suburban service, means that within five years no passenger trains on the New York Central and New Haven lines will be hauled by steam locomotives within a radius of © miles of the Grand Central Station.It is said that the plans provide for conveying the electricity to the locomotives by a protected third rail.although the locomotives will be fitted so that the overhead trolley system may be applied at any time.It is further stated that the en- ginea to be built for the New York Central for this service will be similar in to those now in usé on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, but will have the speed of 6 miles an hour tn- atead of 10 as in the case of the Baltimore & Ohio.It is expected that the running ot these trains by electricity will resuit in a Saving both in fuel and in efficiency.It is said that the cost of the power houses, sub-stations, equipment and locomotives has been estimated at between $15,000,000 and $20,000.000.ILLINOIS BANK FAILS\u2014National Bank Examiner Oakley, of Chicago.arrived at Dundee, Illinois, and took charge of the First Nationa! Bank, which failed to open its doors Monday morning.SBus- picion as to the affairs gf the bank resulted from an Investigation made by President Dunston, who notified the Comptroller of the Currency.East Dundee is building a waterworks system.and the First Nationa! Bank had agreed to take up the city bonds.Upon learning that $2.300 in bonds would he ready for acceptance within a few days.it was found that the bank did not have the amount on hand ON THE RIALTO.While the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific are preparing to give Canada two new lines of railway to the Pacific, there are rumours of pro- ted extensions to the Pucific of exist ng roads south of the international boundary.Since the Rockefellers have obtained a controlling influence in the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.Paul Rall.way.rumours have been revived that this road is to be extendrd to the western seaboard: and Wall Street is making calculations as to the probable cost of the project and the amount of new securities it would result in placing oun the market.The rumour is denied by the president.A.J.Earling.who says the reported extension will not be built, at least for the present: The road bas late.Jy compivted a satisfactory arrangement \u2018with the Union Pacific.by which the Chicago.Milwaukee and St.Paul will have equal privileges with the Chicago and North-Western on the Harriman lines.Yet it is a fact that the Chicago.Milwaukee and St.Paul did sothe time ago plan a line to the Pacific coast which would have cost between $2.000.000 and $35.000000.This evidently brought the Union Pacific to terms: but the extension would probably be conatructed in tho event of any rupture of the existing traffic arrangements between the two roads.The buliding of another Pacific line in the United Btates would not be surprising.however, for the remarkable develop ment of the West is one of the most notable of the economic phenomena on both sides of the international boundary.An important factor for consideration in connection with Canada's financial and commercial outlook for the coming year is the fact that Manitoba and the Territories are preparing to Erow next season a crop that will beat all records.It ta reported that the wheat acreage in the West will be about thirty per cent more in 1304 than in 1903.Fall ploughing has been prosecuted with vigor.and it is said that.owing to the favourable weather.field work was never so advanced in the fall as this year.Already preparations are belng made to provide Increased facilities for handling the big crop that is anticipated.The elevator accommodation of the West has been largely increased this year; but It is stil] being added to.At the country stations in the West there is already elevator accommodation for 24.500.000 bushels, an Increase of 6.500.000 bushels this year.Winnipeg and intervening points between Lake Su- perlor have à capacity of 1.500.060 bushels.and at the terminals of Port Arthur and Fort Willlam the capacity is now 13.000.- 000 bushels.The capacity at the latter points has been increased \u20ac.700,000 bushels since a year ago.One firm alone is preparing to increase the grain storage ca pacity at Winnipeg by 2.500000 long new lines, like the Canadian Northern.?; \u2018 special efforts.are being made to'adû to the elevator âccommodatiaoh, \u2018which until recently has not atforded adequate btor- age capacity.e milling capacity of the country has also been nearly doubled this year, and the flour mills on the Lake of the Woods and at fnterlor points in Manitoba and the Territories are making preparations for a still larger output Quite an extensive trade in flour has been developed between the Canadian Weg} und the Oriental countries across the Pacific; and the Western millers are looking forward to largely Increased exports In that direction.All this meaus a large\u2019investment of capital tu the West from which profitable returns may soon be anticipated.Eastern manufacturers and enporiske will, no doubt.have largely increased demands for their goods from the West next year, for even should the crop be infertor in yield and quality to that of this year.which is hardly likely.the increased acreage would more than counterbalance any deficlency in that direction.If the crop should yield as : well as last year, the export of wheat ! from the West will reach enormous proportions.and Mvoive the addition of many millions o ° many 1s of dollars to the country\u2019s It is not only in the Canadlan West that observers see signs of continuing progress.In the United States\u2019 West, capitalists appear to be preparing for a large Increase of business.One Indication of this ia the large number of new banks which are belng established there.The last report of the United States Comptroller of the Currency shows that in October thére were fifty-seven new National Banks organized in the United States, of which forty-eight were in the Southern, Western and Middle Western States.This, of course, is not equivalent to the sume number of banks In Canada; for the United States banks have not branches in the same way that the Canadian banks have.The group of forty-eight banks referred to, represent a capital of $2.245, hich is about equal to the capitati£ation of one ordinary Canadian bnk.It is to be remem- berëd.however, tat this represents the new banks of only one month.During the present year, 547 new banks have been established in the Middle States with g capital of $31,656,000; and 350 fn the Western States with a capital! of $12,8%,- m0.In the Southern States, 421 new hanks have been established during the current year.In spite of the increased banking facilities the Western States are providing.the West still has to rely largely on the East for money for the movement of the crov.These demands are largely re- svonsible for the scarcity of money in the East and the consequent high rates for money in the New York market.The New York banks have almost reached the limit of their legal reserves; and it is anticipated that they may possibly have to go below it.But the crop movement 1s now nearly over.In about a couple of weeks.this money will be lowing back again, apd by the New Year money will orobably be plentiful once more.A similar movement has been going on in Canada, though the Canadian banks have not felt the pressure to the same degree that the New York banks have.With money again available in large quanti- tien and tooking for employment, an impetus will be given to speculation, and a revival of interest in the Stock Exchanges will, no doubt, be apparent before very long.In both Canada and the United States the large increase in the exports is a feature which gives confidence top those who are walching anxiously to see If there are any signs ot a falling off of good times.The exports of the United States for October totalled 160 1-3 millions of dollars, the largest monthly total, with one exception, ever known in the history of the United States Treasury.The October exports were nearly $50,000.000 in excess of those for September.The large exports of cotton were to some ex- tnt accountable for this increase, but there has been a general Increase in all commodities.manufactures, etc.being credited with an Increase of $6.500,000.The balance of trade in favour of the United States for the past teu months is $908.- 964.053, as compared with some 298 millions for the first ten months of the previous year.The United States manufacturers are taking active steps still further to increase their foreign trade, and during the balance of the year there is likely to be a still further increase.in exports, The only disquieting feature of - this situation from a Canadian point of view is that the activity of the American manufacturers to increase their exports may lead to an unwelcome !nva- sion of the Canadian market by them.STOCK TRADING EXTREMELY DULL | To-morrow\u2019s Holiday in | Wall Street Tended to i Check Business.|FORENOON STOCK MARKETS The correspondents of the Montreal @tar in Wall Street and on the Chicago Board of Trade report that stocks were \\ trregular, while wheat was steady.In the local market stocks were easier Sales on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday were 496.644 shares.The flattening out of the speculative | | i boom in stocks is having its effect on ! the firms wbo malntained private wires ! between Montreal and New York.A few days will see the removal of several of .these wires, some firms finding it does | not pay to keep them in on account of i the heavy expense.These wires cost ' from 38,000 to $10,000 a year, which means ! that, besides other expenses, a good deal of business has to be transacted before ;the heavy expenses are met, and that | the present state of the market makes ; lt impossible to do that.At the time i of the boom several New York houses | invaded this territory, while & number ! of local brokers secured connection by ; private wires with their Wall Street correspondents.The wires which are going out are of both kinds: The day previous to a holidiy in the United States stock markets usually makes for a dull day locally, and to-day was no exception to the rule, to-morrow being Thanksgiving Day in the neighbouring republic.Even with the public playing an important part such a circumstance has always had some effect on the market, but now that operations are so very largely in the hands of the professional element, the conditien was accentuated.Nelther is Mm unusual for prices to weaken the day prior to a holiday, doudt- Jess owing to the fact that many traders 40 not care to carry atocks over a mide week holiday.and, on the other hand, buyers are scarce, as there is a disposition to withhold commitments until] after a holiday, presumably owing to the changed conditions which might eventuate in the meantime.The local market acquired some of the heavy e of Wall Street, even though the business of the exchange will be carried on as usual, despite an effort to have the afternoon board abandoned.The Toronto exchange, will, however, be closed all day.Ia voting for the opening of the exchange as usual to-morrow afternoon, the majority of the members sacrificed themselves on the altar of princinle, as i was certainly not the commlasions or profita in Prospect.which actuated them in voting to de business.To-day's list was not à Very terÊpting one, and it is hardly likely that there will be much im- P estrre your Teeth by using : overnten\u2019 te LS ANUS pregsiots, .reçémmen the ng Dentists of the tity.of provement to-morrow.The only notable feature about the trading was the small quantity of shares offering.Canadian Pacific.which was strong yesterday at 119 eased off to 1IS, after opening at 118% London sent a lower quotation based very likely to a cousid- erable extent on the feeling created by the decrease in last week's traffic re ceipts.If there is a short interest In the stock.as has been believed all along, they would not miss such an opportunity to try and depress the price.Material for argument of that sort has been very short for a long time in conneztion with Canadian Pacific.Twin City sold at 9% in Wall Street this morning.around the opening, but the local market did not follow and local dealings were at 59%.the =ame as yesterday's closing.but X under yesterday's best.Montreal Power opened at 74X from 7% yesterday: and sold off ta 744.Dominion Coal was down 3 to 2.and Montreal Steel preferred was unchanged at 8.The only notable price changes in the opening dealings in the stock market were amongst the specialties.Otherwise changes were small and mixed.Gorn products fell %.and Colorado Fuel and Denver and Rio Grande pfd.a point Pacific Mail advanced a point, and Anaconda, 2%.The volume of business was small.When the pressure was relaxed against the speclaities.prices of railroad stocks rose a small average fraction over last night, but yielded again when new points of weakness developed In the specialties, Railway Bteel Spring pfd rallied 3: Car vfd.3%: Locomotive pfd.2: Smelting pfd.1%.and the common.i New losses were in Paper preferred, 4%: the common.1; Biscuit pfd., inghouse Elec.3: Lackawanna 4: and United States Rubber pfd., Ice pfd., Continental Tobacco pfd.and Coloradp and Southern 1st pfd.a point.Messrs, L.'J.Forget and Oc.'s London cable to-day quoted: Grand Trunk first, Milk: second.97%: third, 47: Canadian Pacific, 12%: Hudson Bay.4%.Grand Trunk Hallway syatem\u2019s earning.15th to Mist November:\u2014 Increase.Canadian Pacific Railway Company's approximate earnings for week ending ember 2lst: 5% Ceres wares $910,000 933.000 In New York at noon money on call was firm at 7.prime mercantile paper, 6 to 0h i London close: Consols for money, 88%: do.for account, 88 18-16; Anaconda.3 3-8; Atchison, : Go.pref., 3%; B.and O.™: C.P.; C.and O., 01%; Chicago Great Western.16; Chicago, Milwaukee and St.Paul, 143%: De Beers, 20 3-3; Denver and Rilo Grande, 3%; do.pref.æ Érie.17%; do.first pref.\u2026 68%; do.second pref.43%: Iilinois Central.133%; L.and Missouri, Kansas and Texas, SN.Y.C., In%; N.and, W., 58%; do.pref.89; O.and W., 104: Pennsylvania, We; Rand Mines, 10%; Reading, ; de.lat praf., 39; do.second pref.%; Southern Railway.Pacific, 464: U.8.Steel, 11 3-8; do.D M; do.pret, 38.Bar 3% rate for short bille three monthe' bills, 4 to 4% per cent.Among the forensôn males in Toronto were: C,P.R.17 at 118; Canadian General pret.& st N63: N.S.Steel pref, 3 at 10.Montres!
