To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Sir,—I observe in yesterday morning's paper theta ‘*West End” bas brought the notice of the Hucks‘ers’ dealings to the [ just returned from a tour in the United States and a large portion of our Dominion, and [ have been in most of the markets, and have never seen a Market House used for Huckstering except in Charlottetown. If these persons think proper to buy and re- sell, let it be done at their own establish- ments, notin the public market. Two inside staircases to the Market House would now be very convenient. and what is expended in separating “ Big Domald ” would be better laid out in making the in- terior of the building more convenient.

A large Music Hall is now much wanted in this city. Then for the winter.

Sours Srpe. Nov. 19, 1877. |We understand that the Market Com< mittee are making arrangements to pres vent ‘‘huxtering ” in the Market House. }

ANOTHER GROWL.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Deak Sirn,—Do forgive me for thus troub- ling you, but I am deeply concerned about my head or, as some politicians term it, my Poll. I hope “ Kindly Nature’ made no mistake when she placed one on my shoulders. I never demurred to having a Tax placed on my appetite, but that | should have to pay for wearing my Poll is rather too much for me to stand. 1 want you, Mr. Editor, if you will, to point out to me some “‘ Happier island in the wat’ry waste,” where [ can wear my head with- out its being a public burden. I was told by the l'axsgatherer that such a tax ex- irts in other countries. [am afraid he was *“‘ economising the truth,” for I am aware it did exist, as did the Tax on Light, the Star Chamber, and 8 few other iniquit- ous things which the wisdom of our fore fathers blotted out. But as I refused to pay this tax on my head, I had a notice placed in my hand, that if it was not paid in 14 days I should be prosecuted as the “ law directs.” Well, I know not whether the law does direct, but to be codsistent, as all laws should be, / fearI am ‘to be guillotined. Now, when! have to appear before the lawyers, I desire the public to keep me company. Iam one who yoted for Mr. L. H, Davies, but I am fast deserts ing him and will for the future scrutiniz.

ready paid my city taxes, am supporting the country by paying indirect taxation, and have no inciination to pay more, and am content to be deprived of common citizenship rather than place my Poll at the mercy of L, H. D

Yours,

: ANONYMA. Ch’town, 17th. ’77.

- Renge never were so low as they are at present in the rural districts around New York and Brooklyn; and taxes perhaps never higher. A good eight or ten-room house can be rented in New Jersey, within an hour of New York City Hall, for $10 per month ; and houses on Long Island are renting for $5 and $8 per month The ‘** country-home fever’ is somewhat abat» ing, and owners are commencing to esti. mate how much their country homes have cost them. The disposition to “ citify’’ towns has placed heavy burdens on rural real estate, and landlords are not realizing over two per cent.on their investments, even when their property is let. About this time it is evidently best to be a ten- ant.

The Chicago Times publishes a list of 10 banks and 18 insurance companies which ‘have burst in Chicago within a few years, and which were proved by an examination of their remains to have been little better than swindles.’’ Among the banks it men. tions the ** Franklin,” which could not pay 10 per cent.: the Bank of Chicago, with liabilities about one-third of a million, and assets—nothing; the State-Street Savings Bank, with liabilities $40,000, and assets $200, and so on through the list. The in- surance companies make no better show, the highest dividend mentioned being 16 per cent., the lowest 0. ‘The Times is certainly justified in calling this « -‘ shame~ ful record.*’

A Brurat Murper.—The Chignecto Post gives the following particulars of the re- cent murder at French Bay, C. B.: ‘‘ The young man who was killed was of a very peaceful disposition. A drunken rough met himon the street, asked him for a smoke, and before he had time to consent or refuse, knocked Aim down senseless. He was taken into a rum shop in that cons dition—was laid there in a corner—a fight soon followed—he was tramped over by the combatants—was aftewards dragged out on the street and jumped upon —final.- ly dragged back into the shop—dead.”

The Scotsman's London correspondent says: ‘‘The Chief of the new SCatholic Hierarchy of Scotland will be styled Arch»

bishop of St. Andrews, and preside at

Edinburgh. There will also be Bishops at

Bu-tness 1s Hatirax.—In the Herald's

| weekly report on finance and commerce, we

tind the following :-—

General business in the city continues dull, the influx of fishermen and traders not adding much to the tills of shop-keep- ers in the streets above Water street. Years ago, the presence of such a fleet at the wharves would cause a stir all over the city, but the change in the modes of con- ducting business even creeps into the pros duce trade. A very large number of the P. E. Isiand vessels are consigned to Hali- fax houses, the cargoes being hypotheeated and drawn for through some bank or bank agency, so the money goes into the bank- e1’s till instead of being spent in the city. So with many of the fishing vessels and their cargoes, which are similarly hypothe- cated. The same principle prevails West, and it is not uncommon to see in the lists of imports at Montreal such receipts as: Bank of Montreal, 3 barrels ashes, 112 boxes cheese; Dominion Bank, 400 bushe!s peas, and so On,

Pork—Carcases are coming to market in large quantities, and prices are consequente ly low—in fact, the present price of pork is ‘ower than for several years. Barrelled pork from the spring is still on the market, and if well kept is safer to buy at present than the new.

Country Produce—Eggs are very scarce, and are bought up as soon as they arrive at bigh pricee. Potatoes are dull for common kinds, but the choice varieties tring full figures for first class trade. Apples are advancing, and it is expected they will Le higher than for several years.

Seer FOR Eneianp. — The Napanee Beaver says: “On Monday last Mr. P, Bristol, an American dealer, shipped from

the Grand Trunk Railroad station three

hundred magnificent sheep to the English market. This seems to be a profitable business, from the fact that steamships carrying sheep are engaged weeks in ad vance, Where the staple, barley, seems to be so unprofitable, on account of indiffers ent prices, it appears that it would be profitable for farmers to pay attention to the breeding of superior kinds of sheep, There are already many good flocks of sheep in this country, and there weu'd be little difficulty in improving the condition of inferior flocks, so that they wou'd be a source of profit, instead of eyesores and an actual loss to the raiser.”

The Daily News of Oct, 23 says :—There was again a large quantity of fresh meat landed at Livegpool last week from the

_————- -— —.

United States and Canada, and though the.

recent gales have had the effect of pro.

his “acts, as would a Popeite, I have ai-? longing the voyages of most of the vee.

sels, the meat on arrival, with one ex~ ception, was in very good condition. The exception was a consignment of about five tons of beef brought by the Cunard steam - er ‘‘ Marathon” from Bostoa. The ves- sel encountered the full fury of the storm, and the meat, which was suspended by hooks, became detached, allowing the }ealt water to.reach and seriously affect it. [rrespective of this quality the total amount landed at Liverpool was 4233 quar- ters of,ceef and 299 carcases of mutton. There sveré-again no arrivals of fresh but- ter. Only one steamer arrived with live cattle. The heavy weather experienced led to the most disastrous consequences. The steamer in question was the Dominion, of the Mississippi and Dominion line, She had on board 145 oxen and 700 sheep. In the course of the voyage from Montreal twenty-two cattle died trom exhaustion and were thrown overboard, while sixteen others were found dead on arrival at Liverpool, and another had to be slaugh. tered on the quay. It is estimated that the total loss by this occurrence will excel £1,000.

A Femate Naws Deater’s Fortunes. — The will of Mrs. Catherine Hanley, who diedin New York recently, was offered

for probate a few days ago in the Surro. gate’s office by Counsellor John O Brien, the executor of the will. By the terms of the will all of Mrs. Hanley’s property, real and personal, is divided among her four children, Andrew, Edward, Patrick and Catherine. Mrs: Hanley began life about thirty years ago as a news dealer at Fulton Ferry, and her enterprise proved so suca cessful that at the time of her death she owned property valued at $50,000 She was peculiarly reticient as to her aftairs, and at the time the will was filed the ex- ecutor was unable to ascertain where she had deposited her money and bonds.

The fighting at the Cape between the Galekas and the Fingoes seems to have arisea out of a beer drinking row, followed by an invasion of the territory of the Fin« goes by the Galekas. The tribe attacked are British subjects, and they appealed for aid, which was promptly given. The ina vaders were defeated in several encoun- ters, and when the mail left had retreated into their own country, and were acting on the defensive.

The war drags its slow length along. There have been probably not less than 150,000 men sacrificed since the commence - ment of hostilities -at all events, the Rus- sians are reported to have iost half that number. It is puzzling to conjecture why

Glasgow, Lismore, Aberdeen, Whibhorn nd Punkled,

some decisive step is not taken by the i.1- ter. who apparently vastly outnumber their opponents in the field.
