— —- --

Twenty vears ago, the idea of cold

storage in transit had hardly been con-~ ceived. Iu the year 1880, a trial shipmen-~ of 400 frozen carcasses of mutton was made from Australia to Great Britain. This was followed in the next year by shipments of

17,275 carcasses. The following year

(1882) New Zealand began the export of frozen mutton; and in 1883 Argentina opened the cold storage business with shipments of 17,000 carcasses. It is in

teresting to note that last year (1897) Aus tralia shipped 1,394,500; New Zealand 2,696,000, Argentina 2,068,000, or

upwards of six million carcasses of muiton

and

among the three,—not to speak of 758,000 hundredweight of frozen beef. Frozen rabbits from Australia, frozen ealmon from British Columbia, tarkevs from Ontario, fowis from Russia, geese from France aad Italy, in countless numbers, find a market in Great Britain every year. Ip cold ator- age, too,—theugh not eo cold as to freeze, —are sent thousands of carcasses of chilled beef from Chicago and large quantities of fruit of various kiuds fram the United States and Canada. Between 20,000 end 30,000 quarters of chilled beef from Amer- jea are now cold in Ergland every week. Besides this, large quantities of fresh pork are aleo received from cold storage. aA writer in Chambers’ Journal, to whom we are indebted for these facts, etates that so

important hae the datrying of frozen and chilled produce becowe in recent Years that there are now over 150 steamsnips fitted with especial refrigerating machinery and cold rooms for dealing with the trade, and ve veral others are now being fitted up. Ten years ago, a steamer carrying 30,000 car- casses was the largest employed; now there are several being built to carry 100,- 600 carcasses per voyage. Asa comple- ment to {theese there are cold storage ware- rooms of immense capacity in all the sources of supply, aswell asin Great Britain where the produce ie received and consamed. There are now in the city of London cold stores capable of holding 1,250,000 carcasses, and there are stores in Birmingham, Bristol], Manchester, Glas-~ gow, Liverpool] and other large towns, with a capacity of about 980,000 carcasses. It is predicted by the writer we have referred to that ere long there will not be a single considerable town in the British Isles with- out ite cold storage warerooms for the supply of the people with perishable, but preeervable, food,

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Moncton Times: Uow inepiring to the imagination of the javenile Soreiites it must have been to think that the little Tarte, who once was in the apple bnsiness in such an humble way, now steams up and down the tt. Lawrence in a Government yacht or dashes xscroes provinces ina pri- vate car, presenting this place with a har-~

bor and that with a breakwater or a new portoffice building. And, then, he had no* yet reached the apex of his glory. Just wait till they see bim nextsammer! Montreal Gazette : Toronto clergymen are moving to fight the liquor .reflic by the establishment of coffee houses. Coffee houses have been helps tothe promotion of sobriety in Lon- don, and may have a field here. They are

neither to be deprecated nor despised. The best means of fighting whiskey, however, is the inculeation of the doctrine that, physi- cailvy, mentally and financially, the aver- age man is better off when Le does not taste it.

Halifax Herald: Sir Louis Davies told the people of Sorel that he was of French ancestry. This is a new discovery ot the minister of marine, but perbaps it was necessary to make it in order to have any standing in Quebec. The only paper in Cauada which proclaims on its title page that it is “the organ of the liberal party” has pointed out that the province of Quebec bas twice saved the country, and that by voting unanimously it will continue to do so. Sir Louis must therefore cultivate

BANK MONEY ORDERS.

All the Banks Have Arranged for Uniform Systeni.

The chartered banke of Canada have arranged for the issuance of a uniform bank money order, which should prove a great convenience to the general public. The orders are printed on paper of a yellow tinge, and the amount is limited to $50. and the rates ere:—$10 and under, 8 cents; $10 to $20, 10 cents; $20 to $30, 12 cents; $30 to $50, 14 cents.

The orders are negotiable at any char tered bank in Canada, branches or agen~ cies, except in these within the Yukon district. An order can be deposited without ecceptance, and this, combined with the fact that they will be eo read ily Obiained, will, no doubt, make it a popu- lar mode of transmitting s:ya!l sums.
