FOTRTEENTU ANNUAL CONVENTION,

Tur foilowing paragraph prepared for Tuesday's issue was inadvertantly omitted

Open-air services were held hy the dele- gates in different parts of the city on Sun day, alinf which were largely attended by very orderly assemblies. A mass meeting of young men of Charlottetown, in Asso- ciation Hail, was addressed by some of the younger delegates in «1 very earnest and uapressive manner. The farewell meeting

‘as 2 crowded one. Addresses were de- Rowe by the Chairman, C. Primrose, of Pictou; Revs. F. Owens, Antigonish, and H. P. Cowperthwaite, Charlottetown; and J. &. Morrow, Halifax; J. BE. Irvine, St. John; and ©. Palmer, . Charlotte town At the close of this meeting the delegates gathered round the platform and joining hands engaged in their solemn and impressive parting ceremonies. The meeting will long be remembered as one of the most impressive and affecting which our city has ever witnessed.

The delegates left for thei homes on Monday morning.

Russian Naval Forcés on the Pacific

In view of the unfriendly feeling that since the Crimean war has snbsisted between Russia and Great Britain, as well as some evidences from time to time, of Russian in- trigne in Afghanistan, a good deal of atten tion has been drawn of Jate to the large nugmentation of the Russian feet on the Pacific. The Russian paval station is Viadivostek, where there is a fine harbor, with abundance of coal close at hand. It eccupies the same position relatively on the west that Victoria, B.C. does on the eastern shere of the Pacitic. The Russian fleet at V ladivostek, which before numbered 25 sea- soing cruisers and 30 transports has been lately considerably reinferced, and is short- ly to have five swift steam vessels of large size added to it. In the event of actual hostilities at any time in the future, Canada could not fail to be deeply interested in this development of Russian raval strength in that quarter, especially in view of the de- fenceless condition of our Pacitic ports. The Admiral in command of our fieet on the Pacific is said to have reported upon the inadequacy of British ferees in that quarter, in the ey ent of possible contingencies.

Death of a Great Diplomatist.

The cable announces the death of Lord Stratford De Redcliffe, better known as Sir Stratford Canning, who was Ambassador at Constantinople during the Crimean war, and who was so long the faithful friend of Turkey, while loyally serving the interests of England. It was one time thought that tew persons had a knowledge of Turkish affairs equal to that of the English Aubas- sador to Turkey. Lord Redctifle had at tained tu a great age, having been born in January, 1788. He passed through all stages oi the diplomatic service, in Switzer- land, at W: ashington (in connection with the treaty of Ghent), at St. Petersburgh, Madrid, ete., as well as at Constantinople. He was "raised to the Peerage in 1852, and had previously held a seat in the House of Commaens from 1835 to 1842. In the House of Lords he toek an active part in discuss- ing questions of foreign policy. He was created a Knight ef the Garter in 1869. He wrote a little work on Christian Evidences —'* Why aml a Christain?’ and also an original play entitled ‘‘ Aifred the Great in Athetnay.” It was privately printed and net much known.

2 eee The State of ‘l'rade.

The fall trade, now opening, holds out, says the New York Commercial Bulletin, the promise of a snecessful season. The leading crops ef the country were never larger, end the’ rehabilitation of industries that were crippled during the six years fol. lowing the panic of 1875, and the pros- perity of agriculiure, have caused a mate- rial increase in the purchasing power of the people, while there is no reason to believe that there is going to be any waterial abatement of the wonderful growth of our fereigr commerce. What that growth has been is indicated by the bare statement that the aggregate of exports and imports for the last fiscal year was about 81 per cent. greater than during the year 1870, and neariy i119 per cent. greater than in 1860. From 1860 to 1874, with the excep- tion of a single year, the value of our imports exceeded that of our exports, aud that the aggregate excess of imports in those | fourteen years was over $1, 175,000,000, |

this gratifying change, and the conditions |

are favorable fora continued balance on | the right side of the ledger. There is, no

tries in the markets of the world, with our manufactures as well as with the produce | of the soil.

The Wheat Crop of the U. 8.

The wheat crop ef the United States in 1880 has been variously estimated at 470,000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels. The early estimates of the United Stated wheat crop of 1879 were 475,000,000 to 500,000,- O00 bushels. <A large crop is almost uni- formly estimated too large, and a small jcrop too small. The surplus of the wheat ;crop of 1879 exported, making up allow- ance for the veserves of old wheat from the crop of 1878, was 1784 million bushels from July 1, 79 to inne 30, 1880. The visible supply of 1878 reserves was on July 1, 1879, about 155 amillion bushels, with a limited amount in the connty outside of this. ‘he total of 1878 crop reserves on duly 1, 79, did not probably mach exceed 15 million bushels. The visible supply on July 1, 1880, was less than 12% million bushels, with less actual re- serves in the country than on July 1, 1879, imiking the selual expert surplus " about 175 to 180 willida bushels. The export surplus of the crop of 1879 was early esti- mated at 225 million bushels. The early estimates of the wheat crop ef 1879 in Oregon, California, Michigan, and the North-western spring wheat crop were largely in excess of the actual out-turn. The wheat crop cf Michivan for 1880 is estimated at 50 to 54. million bushels, and of Minnesotaat 30 millions to 45 millions, and of Califernia at 40 million to 47 mil-

lion bushels. California in 1879-80 ex- ported from July 1, to June 30, 19,766,- 739 bushels, aud the actnal remaining

wheat in that State ou Juiyv 1, 1880, is re- ported by the San Francisco Produce Ex- change at Jess than three-quarters of a mil- lion bushels. itis as yet too early to de- termine the out-turn of the wheat-crop of the United States im 18380. It is without doubt a large crop, and may perhaps ex- ceed 450 million bushels, which would give an export surplus of 189 million te 200 million bushels. tJ

Clippings from Late Papers.

A fellow once walked out of a store in Gloucester with a tish, which he had stolen, tucked under his vest. He hadn’t gone far with his plunder before he was brought te

ahalt by a shrewd passer-by, who, taking in the situation at a glanee, exclaimed: ‘‘See here, my friend, you ought either to- wear longer vests or steal shorter fish,” ~~”

Frosv on tHe Tosrovn,—The following is an extract from a letter of a settler on the Tobique river, under date of Aug. 8th;

‘We are all down in the mouth here to- night, as last night's frost has killed all our buekwheat, beans, peas, corn, and te- matoes, infact, everything. Of my wheat i will save a portion, if the frost does net come on again. Our buckwheat is com- pletely mowed down ; Brooks’ buckwheat is as black as a coal and Watterick’s the sane. Ttoek ont of the wash basin at the dvor this morning ice one quarter of an inch thick.” John Pelearaph,

George Stephen, the Montreal wuillion- aire, who has just given #50,000 to Queen's College, Kingston—of which Rev. G. M, Grant is Principal-—is.a native of Dufftown, (near Keith) in Banffshire, Scotland. He came to Canada a poor boy, about thirty- five years ago, and was first a clerk and then a partner with his uncle in the dry goods business in Montreal. About fifteen years age he became largely interested in inanufactures of various kinds, being among other things a sharehelder in the London- derrry fron Mines. He recently is report- ed to have made *nany millions in Western railways and jands, and is now reputed to be one of the wealthiert men in Canada.

According to the Year Book of the Young Men’s Christian Association, just issued. by the International Committee, there are 825 associations in North Am- erica, 285 in Great Britain, 65 in France, 293 in Papaya 406 in Switzerland, 2. in India, in Syria and 2 in Japan. The ale associations hold property worth more than &2,000,000. The youhg men of the country have contributed $400, 000 for the work of these organizations during the past year. There are 178 General Secre- taries employed, of whem 26 have their offices in railroad depots and their special work among railroad men. Associations have been formed in % colleges. There are 39 German-speaking branches of the association. Dnring the past year 42 new college associations have been organized and 44 railroad secretaries have been placed where the will be able to de the most effective work. :

The Montreal Gazelle says: ‘* We re- cently stated that granulated sugar was sell- | ipg in Montreal at a lower price than that at which it could be imported under the Cartwright tariff, and we gave the following comparison which holds equally as good to- day as it did a week ago. to prove the assertion: Granulated sugar in Montreal, cents, less 2) per cent. discount for

making the net price 10 c; granulated sugar in New York, 10} ¢ net cash, equal to $10.25 per 100 Ibs. Under the old tariff ithe cost would stand thus :—
