A Toronto the possibilities of a good English egg trade are stirring up dealersthere. ihey declare that if Canadian eggs can command

the 24 cents given for the experimental shipment it would have paid Ontario holders better to send them to LEngiand than to have sent them into the United

States before the McKinley bill came into force. The expenses from there amount to t cents a dozen, so that Toronto exporters are willing to purchase at twenty cents It is proposed to erect cold storage depots in that city for next summer's trade. only shippers so far from Torento are the Imperial Produce Company. This com- pany are shipping eggs from four or five different points to their London office, where they will be handled for the market. Mr. Wilson at Seaforth is also shipping to the English market and hos already had

great success.

The correspondents met, and decided

to let the banquet look after itself, and pledged themselves not to mention the event in their respective newspapers. ‘The

result was that not a line about the LEarl’s deliverance left the. city, although the leading members of the cabinet were at the banquet. The different home offices sus- tained the action of the correspondents.

—The Horseman, of Chicago, remarks :

** 1t is not an exaggeration to say that in none of our states is the breeding interest beooming more firmly established and making greater comparative progress at present than in Canada. The movement is general all along the line, from the sandstone headlands that are washed by the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the boundless plains of the Great Lone Land, Many parts of the Eastern provinces are as admirably adapted to the breeding business as the rich province of Ontario, the better sections of whicii in agricultural wealth will compare faverably with any of the Scates. A tide of good blood has steadily poured across the borders, and now almost every county in the Dominion has its well-bred stallion, and on- many farms are gilt-edged matrons. But good tracks and good trainers are scarce in Canada, and progress must be made in this regard before extreme speed will

be seen in the Northland. That progress

will be made is sure. Never was there as much racing in Canada as during the season just closing aud good tracks and good trainers

It is proposed that this as8-room shal! be still further enlarged by the removal of the partition which divides it from the junior department of the Model School. If the propos l be carried out,

this room will be the largest and best on the premises, and may be used at times of

college convocation. The want of a room for the junior department might be met by the repair and use of he City building which was, sume years ago, built upon the College grounds. This building is now un- used, except us place for old hose.

There are eleven vessels still remaining, ten of which are loading and the other one discharging lumber for Poole & Thomp- son. The run of vessels this season, with two or three exceptions, is much smaller than usual.

As the majority of farmers have finished digging, it is expected, if there is any de- mand, that shipping will be brisk during the week. At present oats is in good de- mand with an upward tendency in price, while potatoes and oats are moving slowly with rather a downward tendency.

Farmers complain that the roads in some places are in a wmiserable condition for hauling produce, —

more particularly the roads on the north side of the bridge. Could not our Hon. Commissioner of Public Works do some- thing to remedy this state of affairs, and thus prove to the satisfaction of the farmers and others that he has their interests at heart /
