Sometime ago the coal owners of the

. Ao ha United States combined to keep up the

price of anthracite coal. For a time they

succeeded ; and in Ontario, where this coal is largely consumed, the tariff was blamed. But from the Menetary Times we learn

that :—

‘‘Tho anthracite coal trade of the States has suflered a diminution of demand. The companies keep up a sort of combination, but the prices agreed upon are not adhered to either by them or by individuals. At the shipping ports there is something like a blockade, from the accumulation of stocks ; and the attempt ef holders to unload has a demoralizing effect. Unless production be curtailed, it is thought there will be an ex- cess of supply over demand, though less had been produced to the 18th Sept. than to the same date last year by 2,497,035 tons. ‘The secret no doubt is that the in- creased price has greatly curtailed consump- tion.”

Ov the probable members of the Pacific Railway syndicate the American Railroad Journal says :—

«* Among the members of such a syndicate whe have been mentioned as likely to be pro- minent participants is the firm of Morton, Rose & Co., who are the London house of Morton.- Bliss & Co. of New York. Mr. Rose has special interests in Canada, having formerly been the Canadian Minister of Fin- ance. ‘ihe Societe Generale is mentioned as the probable Paris member of the syndicate. The orcqgjzation has branches throughout France ® in fact ail over Europe, and in beth credit and influence is one of the strong- est companies abroad. It was established in 1359, reorgnized in 1870, and is said to have a capital ot 60,000,000 francs. M. H. Duv- viene is president, and among the other offi- cers are Felix Aubery, J. De la Bouillerie, French Minister of .Asriculture;

Messrs. Morton, Bliss & Co. are well known as one of the strongest and most substantial America. banking houses, having a capital of probabl; about $6,0C ),009, and through these parties and the above inentioned foreign or ganization, with other houses that have been named i: connection with the matter, a very atrong syndicate is certainly under <iscussion. President Stephen of the Bank of Montreal is among the leading financial men having con- trol of tlie interests of the Canadian Pacific.”

On which the Mone‘ary Times remarks:—

‘This may not correctly indicate the com- position of the syndicate; but there is no reason to doubt that it contains part of the truth if not the whole truth. The announcement that the contract has been signed, and that less than thirty millions of dollars is to be paid in money, has caused a feeling ef relief in the country.”

The St. John Exhibition.

Tae St. John papers vie with each other in raising tho Exhibition hum. But the Sun, with its four-page supplement, con- taining the fullest particulars, including a complete list of all the exhibits alphabetic- ally arranged,seems to have outdone its con- temporaries. However, they all deserve great praise; and to say—as the Patriot said last week —that the credit is solely due to the Télegraph--is as incorrect as it is invidious. we clip the following :-—

(St. John Sun )

Placards liberally hung on the eastern wall, to the north of the passage out to Agricultural Hall, announce to visitors the location of the Prince Edward Island ex- hibit. The display, though not occupying much space, is tastefully arranged and de- serves the careful scrutiny of farmers who have here the rare chance of comparing side by side the products of P, BS. L. and... B. Mr. Wm. MeNeill, the gentleman in charge is thoroughly acquainted with all the ex- hibits and visitors will find him ready to afford the fullest information possible. Mr. Thomas Bullman, of Anglo- Rustico, is the princij aljexhibitor of grain, he showing white oats. weighing 47 ibs., black oats weighing 43 lbs., blue shank wheat weigh- ing 62! lbs., white bald wheat at 62 lbs., two rewed barley at 544 lbs, and timothy seed at 434 lbs. per bushel.

At the head of the first table next the eastern wall is a department bearing the name of he tight little island” of the gulf, and the Island Province is as well re- presented in this department as it is in the stockvard, which is saying @ good deal. The collection includes every variety of farm, garden and dairy products, in all of which Island farmers are evidently ready to compete with. either Manitoba, New Brunswick or any other country. Here are bags of wheat, and other grains, beets, car- rots, mammoth mangel wurtzels, cabbages

enormous cabbages, nice celery, potatoes of many different varieties, including Me- [utyres, Early Rose, Dunmore *Scedling, Prolific, Manhattan, Burbank and others.

On a shelf at the back are oniens, beans, corn, carrots, tomatoes, and half-a-dozen varieties of apples. Here, too, J. W. Me- Leod, of Charlottetewn, shows oatmeal, ground at his mills, and neatly put up in bags, bearing his name. ‘Two Island farm- ers, Messrs. D. B. Brown and Abram Gill, of Little York, show samples of butter from their dairies, the former in wood and the latter in crocks.

The Crops and Prices.

OATS.

We learn with great regret that the fall- ing off in the crop of oats is even greater than before reported. Some farmers who, in harvest time, thought they had a good return, find, on threshing, that they have not half a crop, and some are even worse off than that. The failure seems to be greatest at the eastern part of the Island. From the west we have few complaints ; though farmers, generally, are disappoint- ed in the return. Prices remain at 54 to 35 cents per bushel—with little prospect of arise. In Montreal, oats are quoted at 70 to 75 cents per bag of two bushels. The Montreal Gazette of the 2nd inst. says :— ‘‘In grain there was a larger supply of oats than on Tuesday, and prices were fully 5 cents per bag lower, a load of 11 bags of very good oats being sold at 70 cents. Sinvle bags brought 72 to 75 cents.. The quality of new oats was never finer than what has been sold recently, and we sel- dom remember the condition being so good.’ As these prices include the cost of the bag it will be seen that our merchants are offer- ing rather more than those of Montreal. In Toronto, on the Ist, oats are quoted at 30 cents per bushel ; and we are assured by oat biuvers here that the English market,

ios vo the supplies coming from Ireland,

Sweden and other countries, wiil not bear

a higher price than they are now giving. So it seems useless to be holding back for ‘‘a rise.” If farmers do not

bring in in their oats at current prices, shipping will go elsewhere for freight, and their oats will remain on their hands. That is all. Just here we may remark that those who send in badly-cleaned grain do their country a bad service. It is highly im- portant that the produce of the island should stand well in the markets of the world. The loss of a cent a bushel by reason of a character for. half-cleaned grain, means a loss to the Province of thousands or tens of thousands ef dollars every year. And the worst of it is that the careful far- mer suffers with the negligent one. All should, therefore, make it a point to market their grain in good condition, and buyers should refuse to take in grain which is not so. BARLEY.

Barley remains at 65 cents per bushel— 70 cents being given, in some cases, for choice lots. These prices compare favor- ably with those given in Montreal (70cts), and in Toronto (65 cents. )

POTATOES.

Early roses command 18 cts per bushel ; but there is no demand for common varie- ties. he price in Boston for early roses is 55 cts per bushel, and takimwg into account the fifteen cents duty, with freight and other charges, besides the risk of a reduction of the price, it, does not seem that our dealers can afford to give more than 18cts, and live. In view of the absence of demand abroad the valne of the starch factory at St. Peter’s will be appreciated. The face tory is now taking in potatoes at the rato of about 2,000 bushels a day—direct from the fields of farmers in the vicinity—little and big as they grow. Fifteen hands are employed at the factory; and a very fine article of starch is being produced. We hope those who have put their money into this enterprise will be abundantly success- ful, though the competition they will meet with from Germany and other European
