Orrawa, Sept. 16.

The annual meeting of the Dominion Rifle Association was opened at Rideau Range at ten o'clock this morning by the Minstier of Militia, who, after a short ad- dress to the competitors on the ground (numbering several hundreds), tired the first shot and scored a ‘‘bull’s eye.” The All-comers’ Match was then commenced. Weather cloudy and very favorable for shooting.

The entries are 250. Nova Scotia is re- presented in this match by 34, New Bruns- wick by 17, P. E. Island by 12, Manitoba by 7. Ranges 500 and 600 yards, 7 rounds at each; any position. Fifty prizes, value $385.

The entries are so large that the score at the first range will hardly be finished be- fore 3 o’clock. Col. Gzowski entertained the Officers at the camp and a number of prominent citizens at lunch.

Major-General Smyth is on the grounds.

New York, Sept. 16.

The Herald reports the Chinese popula- tion in this city has shown a rapid growth for the past two years: many escaping from the California mobs came east. ‘To-day there are in New York over 300 Chinese laundries, 50 groveries, and 100 other trades.

AFGHANISTAN.

Simta, Sept. 16.

A bedy of mutinous Afghans have gone to the Zurtars district, east of Ghuze, hop- ing te incite the tribes there to attack the British in the Shutargardan Pass. The Ameer having addressed a letter to the Indian Government after the outbreak at Cabul testifying to his friendship for the British, General Roberts is instructed to call uponthe Ameer to prove his sincerity by sending a deputation of confidential rep- resentatives invested with full powers to communicate with Roberts.

Canpamar, Sept. 16.

An Afghan nobleman coming froin the direction of Cabul reports that the Ameer sent for troops from Herat and Balkh and has summoned the Ghilzais to Cabul fora Jehad.

Lonpon, Sept 16.

The Times says: ‘‘ It is not the policy of the surrender and withdrawal from Afghan- istan that is now really formidable to the settlement on which the nation was last year agreed, but rather a movement ,for annexation and adventure which is being deliberately advocated by some who opposed last year’s campaign. It is simply a waste of time to speculate upon the signfi- cance of certain wordy vaporing in Russian newspapers, and ascertions are certainly not to be accepted witout proof con- cerning Russian intrigue in the mas- sacre.”

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

Lonpon, Sept. 16.

A despatch from Madrid to. the News says that the anish Government is rather ember by the increasing agita- tion Cuba. Martinez Campos has proposed to his colleagues to make a clear statement of his reform policy as soon as Cortes meets, but ministers and Conservatie leaders want to defer the matter until after the marriage of Alfonso.

The Commerce of New York.

The foreign imports of New York, for last August were $3,754,071 in excess of the imports for August, 1878, there being an increase of $1,770,247 in dry goods, and $1,994,824 in general merchandise. For the eight months ending 3lst August, 1879, the foreign imperts of New York, including specie, were $220,255,000 against '$204, 771,- 000 in 1878, and the customs revenue was $68,068,000 against 62,074,547 in 1878, The experts for August last of domestic produce were $30,898,000 against $30,913,- 782 in August 1878. The total exports. of domestic produce from New York for the eight months ending 31st Aug., 1879, were valued at 214,050, against $225, 436, 000 in 1878, a rather serious falling of, not- withstanding the heavy export of grain to Europe.

railways of Ontario. * The Ham- ilton nail works company is also in a pos- ition to quote prices and is quoting prices for its products, the qualily of which is no longer in doubt. These factories are already active competitors with our Eastern friends for the trade of Canada.

Says the Toronto Globe (anti-N. P.) of a late date: There is certainly a better and firmer feeling manifested in all branches of trade. Money is coming in fairly, and while no great rush is likeiy to take place, a fair amount of business is confidently an- ticipated this fall.

The Gazette. reviewing the state of trade here, says :—‘‘The fall trade of 1879 is being ushered in under circumstances of a peculiarly favorable nature, which augur magnificent results. The abundance of our cereal products at a time when Europe never needed them more, is singularly fortunate, and will prove a powerful stimu- lus to the revival of trade, which set in some time since. A sudden demand for dairy products has sprung up. Large quan- tities have been purchased, and considerable funds have already found their way inte the hands of the farmers, to be transferred, in turn, to the tills of the country merch- ant, and thence remitted to wholesale men in the cities. The prices of wheat, peas, barley, rye, butter and cheese, are adyanc- ing, and the demand, therefore, bids fair to increase. Dry goods men speak cheer- fully of the situation, and grocers antici- pate the best fall business experienced for

many years. Hardware and i irom merchants .

have also a more encouraging time before them. Among the leather merchants a very buoyant feeling exists, induced by an’ increased volume ot business at. more re- munerative prices. Boot and shoe manu- facturers are quite jubilant over the re- vival of trade, and ‘predict still better times ahead. In brief, nearly every branch of trade is improving.. Manufactures) are be- ginning to flourish, and the signs of the times indicate that Canada is on the thres- hold of an era of commercial prosperity.”

The St John News says :—‘‘The business

‘situation in the Maritime Provinces eught

to show signs of imprevement. Our farm- ers will have a hay surplus to sell ; and the demand in Britain will be strong and re- munerative. The prospect for a ‘lively ex: port trade in potatoes is still brighter. Over wide areas the potato crep in Britain, and, indeed, in Ireland also, has this year perished. The demand for the wholesome esculent in the three kingdoms will be great. The supply in the three Maritime Provinces bids fair to be large—may, with confidenec, in fact, be declared abundant. We doubt not the export will assume re- spectable proportions. Should it do so, the result will be decidedly beneficial, as tending to fill up the vacum caused by. the falling off in the lumber trade. In that trade there can be no reasonable hope of material improvement until the business situation in England shall have greatly changed for the better.”

The St. John Sun remarks: ‘‘It will be remembered that Mr. Frank Killam, M. P., in his place in the House of Commons di- rected public attention to the manifold ini- quities of the Tariff, especially in its bear- ing on shipbuilding. Well, the world will

robably breathe more freely when it learns that Mr. Killam, as a member of the firm of Killam Bros., "has just purchased a ship- yard at Tusket, Yarmouth County, and is about to build a large ship, despite the awful character of the tariff. Formerly the firm bought their ships from the builders, but under the National Policy they pro- pose to do their own building. Mr. F. Killam is to be congratulated on not having been ruined by the Tariff and not being discouraged from building. Evidently he has seen good reason to change his opinions since September last.” om - --

The Problem Solved.

THe Toronto Mail remarks the fact that ©

the country is raising a revenue which the Opposition declared impossible, and the people are at the same time getting goods at prices less in some important items than before, which the Opposition also declared impossible. It was upon these two points that the Opposition in Parliament and in press dwelt with the most vehemence. ‘**You will destroy your revenue,” cried Mr. Cartwright. ‘‘You will rob the people by ‘‘high prices,” cried the Globe ; and behold the revenue is not destroyed, and the people are not robbed by high prices.
