OCTOBER 16 1879.

The Markets.

Hanvesrs were late ; potato diggit'; 2 only now ¢ little more than half done ; few have yet threshed their grain ; and though there has been anxious enquiry regarding prices, our farmers have, so far, sold little, (many of them none) of this year’s produce.

° i | Yet the season is well advanced, and it is)

time to be up and doing if advantage is to be taken of the markot this fall.

It is useless, we think, for farmers to |

‘hold back” expecting high or fancy prices for potatoes and oats. The latest and best advices from Europe are te the effect that wheat has been much the short- est crop, and that potatoes and oats have turned better than was expected. Mr. Peixotto, United States Consul at Lyons, sends to the Department of State the fol-

lowing report of the results of the crops In France :—

‘‘Wheat—In four departments, is very good; in seven, it is good; in twenty-three, fair; in forty-one, inferior; in fifteen, bad. Oats—In forty-one departments, very good ; in twenty-six, fair; in twelve, inferior. It has not been bad with oats anywhere. Barley— In six departments, superior; in thirty-five, good; in nineteen, fair. ) oatsaud barley in France are good, wheat 1s

‘ inferior, and the demand for it will be large.’’

Very rauch the same condition of things is reported from Great Britain. Black oats sell in Liverpool for from 18s. to 18s. 6d. per quarter of 304 tbs., a price which, when freights, insurance, brokerage, etc., are tuken into account, does not admit of much, if any, advance on 32 cents per bushel—the present ruling price in Char- luttetown. With regard to potatoes, we have already indicated that, owing to large receipts from Germany, there has been a break in the British market—late despatches state that the reduction has been as great as from 93. per ewt. to 4s. 3d. Advices from liverpool state that ‘‘Roses,” put up in barrels—the barrels being thrown in—- would likely sell there at from £5 to £6 per ton. Under these circumstances it is hardly possible that our merchants—even though they had not been made additionally cau- tious by heavy losses in previous years—will be constrained to advance much on the prices they are now giving, viz., 20 éents—a little more for best varieties, and a little less for those which are poorer.

Too Much Money.

Tue New York Herald says that the United States is in imminent danger of a new era of wild and _ crazy speculation, owing to the vast importations of money from Europe. It regrets the immense influx of coin and bullion. But adds :—

B,"‘Wise legislation by Congress might avert this threatened evil and convert the

danger into a triumph. Never was a nation so favored by opportunity as our nation is

_ at present, if it will but seize the occasion

for retiring the greenbacks and substituting gold in their place. Before Congress meets there will be gold enough 1m the country tu make it easy tor all the national banks to replace tifeir greenback reserves with apecie reserves and to fill the vacuum in the neral circulation which would be caused by the full and final retirement of the legal tender notes. The bug-bear of contraction which has been so persistently held up against this change has no longer any terrors, and the withdrawal and cancella- tion of the greenbacks would forestall the threatened evil of an enormous expansion of the circulating medium and a new cycle ef wild and mischievous speculation.” —_ —- --

Nicholas Conroy, Esq.

Tue Patriot says: ‘It is with sincere sorrow that we to-day announce the death ef Nicholas Conroy, Esq. He died at his residence in Tignish, on Monday evening, of brain disease. Mr. Conroy was one of the best of men, and no one who knew him at all intimately could help liking and re- apecting him. His nature was kindly and genial, and he was as open as the day. He was amanof strong convictions and was frank and fearless in giving expression to them; vet in advocating what he believed to be r.ght and just with much vigor and no small degree of ability he always res- pected the opinions and feelings of those with wiom he differed. We have often ad- mired this trait in Mr. Conroy’s character. We do not believe that he would needlessly offend the humblest and most defenceless of his opponents, or inflict an injury on his bitterest enemy, if, indeed, he could have an cneiay, which it is difficult to believe. A loyal, guileless, warmbenited gentleman has passed away from amongst us. Peace to his ashes. ‘

The Policy of Kepudiation.

We are requested to pubdlish the follow-

ing correspondence, which took place, in

‘autumn of 1878, between the late Commis- ,

ner of Public Works and two of the super- sors. The first is a circular addressed to

the | SUN SETs..

‘the 35 supervisors in the Island. Mr. | Stewart read this circular at Pewnal'meet-! ing, and contended that orders were given | subsequently to issuing the circular, where the expenditure was necessary. The cor- | respondence with Messrs. Poole & Hender- son is, we think, a sutficient answer to this

statement : (COPY. } CHARLOTTETOWN, Oct. 26, 1878. sir,—I am instructed by the Commissioner of Public Works to inform you that your ac- count is overdrawn, and that you are not to draw, during the balance of the present year, any further orders without a special notice from this department.

Power of the Governcr.

The Montreal Gazette remarks: ‘‘It is gratifying to find that the Rouges, in un- guarded moments, are apt to utter seund constitutional truth. Mr. Joly for instance, at the Sorel meeting said, according to the Herald report, ‘‘it is the majority of the ‘‘people’s representatives who alone have “the power to dismiss a Government, and ‘‘whether that majority is one or twenty- ‘‘five, it is still the majority that must gov- “ern.” That is quite true ; and yet strange- ly enough, in the same speech, Mr. Joly called upon the people to admire Mr. Letellier de St. Just, because he had dis- missed a Government, supported by a majority of the people’s representatives. So the Jlerald in a leading article on the nonsense which recently appeared in the London Times, is horrified at the thought that Governors must always act upon the advice of their Ministers ; and yet only a day or two before, referring to the rumor that Mr. Robitaille would not accept Mr. Joly’s advice, he denounced the Lieutenant Governor in advance for daring even to contemplate so unconstitutional an act. The prerogative with those people may only be used to embarass Conservatives.

THe ‘Saturday Review” speaks of Abra- ham Lincoln as ‘‘a man who owes his emi- nence rather to the contrast between his social ani his political rank, between his qualifica tions and the Ee in history which it was, his fortune to fill, than to his personal char- acter or his political capacity.”
