HOME INDUSTRIES GENERALLY.

While in the Province of Nova Scotia the sugar trade is ‘“‘booming,” trade is multiplying its facilities for exten- sive operations, and the coal trade is ‘‘lively as a cricket,” in Ontario Sir the factories of twe or to several industries. The Toronto ‘‘Maii” says that Sir Leonard found the wall paper mannfacturers cantrolling the heme mar- ket and sanguine of their ability to create an export trade, while prices have fallen 24 per cent. The Toronte Reaping and Mow- ing Company Works he found in full blast, and turning out this year four thousand inachines, a3 against 400 two years ago. One year ago Hays’ Furniture Factory employed 250 hands. This year they have added 100 more. The woollen factories are working full time, em-

pleying an inereased number of hands, selling goods at reduced rates, and

hoping to embark in the foreign trade. The Mail gives another instance of the effect of the N. P. Before the National Policy came into force, all wagons required for Manitoba and the North West were shipped from the United States. One tirm in Toronto has this year shipped to the land of the prairies, one hundred and nine- ty two wagons and fifty sleighs, and expect to send to the North West six hundred and fifty wagons during the next twelve months. Thus all over the Dominion, the Labor of the country is receiving employment asa consequence of the operation of the N. P. W orkingmen everywhere note this fact, and when Sir Leonard entered factories he was, in some instances, greeted with loud cheers from the artizans employed.—H~. Herald. FLOUR.

From the Ist Sept., until 18th Oct. markets in England were rising until the rate of Red Winter wheat in Liverpool, which was 45s. on the Ist Sept., advanced to 69s. on the 18th Oct.—an advance of 14s, per quarter or equivalent to 8s. per barrel on flour in the period of seven weeks within the above dates. Since the 18th inst., English markets have been declining and now stand at 2s. 6d. 3s. below the high- est quotation, or equivalent to ls. 6d. a 2s. per barrel decline on flour, leaving the price 6s. abeve the rate of the Ist Sept. Markets here have been influenced by the change, and flour. is 25c. lower on all quali- ties except the higher grades, which, not having followed the advance are not affect- ed by the decline. Yesterday’s advices re- port a discovery in the markets of London and Liverpool and an upward turn of 6d to 4s. on wheat. We quote Extras and Super- iors $6.65 a $7; Family brands $7.50 a $8.50 ; Cornmeal, $3.35 a $3.50 ; Oatmeal $5.24 a $5.40

POTATOES IN ST. JOHN.

The market for ‘potatoes in St. John is overstocked and the demand is small ex- cept for local use. Early Rose is selling at 70 cts. per bbl. We hear of alot of 300 bbls. selling to a party in Nova Scotia for shipment to the West Indies at 92 cts. The quality of this article was mueh above the average, being hand pieked ‘ burnt-laad coppers.” The receipts during the past week have been large and the demand being small prices are low.—S8t. John Sun.

TEA AND SUGAR.

Teas are held very firmly at a further advance of 3 cents to 5 cents per lb. The advices from England all point to highprices. Common congou is now quoted in London at ls. 1$dtols. 24d, the advance being caused by short shipments to the United Kingdom, and the possibility of a Chinese war with Japan. We quote now :—

Sugars keep advancing. Advances from England represent advances in Scotch re- fined there, since our last report, of 2s. to 2s. 6d, representing in all an advance of at least 5s. per cwt. on lowest prices two months ago, or equal here to Idec. to 1} c.

St. John and Montreal.

The St. John Telegraph says: ‘‘ The Montreal City Council have repudiated the vote of $10,000 for the relief of the suffer- ers by the St. John fire, passed two days after that unfortunate event. They have not been content with merely repudiating it in silence, but have accompanied the act with insulting remarks which no St. John man will read without indignation. St. John is poor now, beth in money and

in spirit, but not so poor as that mean city by the St. Lawrence, which got credit from the whole

world for its generosity, then repudiated its own freely offered gift. We trust that our merchants will shew, in a practical way, how deeply they resent, not the with- drawal of the gift, for we despise it, but the insults which have been heaped upon this city as an excuse for the withdrawal. Montreal has long had the reputation of being the most lawless and worst governed city in America, and it now has to bear the additional infamy of being the meanest and most dishonorable.”

The Royal Commission inquiring into the sanitary condition of Dublin finds, as yet, no lack of evidence condemnatory of its state. For example, Mr. P. Neville, City Engineer, attributed the high death rate of Dubiin to the state of the Liffey and the wretched nature of the dwellings in the poorer parts of the city. The Liffey he de- scribed as an open sewer into which 200 tens of sewerage went every day. An ex- \ tensive scheme for artisans’ dwellings was absolutely necessary, as there were in the city 1,331 houses in a ruinous and unsani- tary condition. The Chairman—Mr. Raw- linson, Engineering Inspector ef the Eng- lish Local Government Board—remarked that it was impossible for language to des- cribe the wretched state of the tenements he had seen in London—they were not fit for brute creatures to live in, not to say human beings.

Sir 8S. L. Tiley and Canadian In- dustries.

The Toronto Teleqram says: ‘Sir 8. L. Tilley has been making a tour of investiga-

tion among the factories and machine shops at Hamilton, Dundas, St. Catherines and other places. His object is, of course, to become personally acquainted with the re- sults so far produced by the operation of the National Policy. The interest mani- fested by Sir Leonard in the manufactur- ing industries of the country furnishes a strong contrast to the careless indifference of his predecessors in the Government, who, when the manufacturers sent to them for relief, slammed the door in their faces and said the Government was merely a fly-on the wheel. That there are weak spots in the National Policy, nobody will deny, for it istrue. There may even be ground for criticism of the National Policy as a whole, for at best it is only an experiment, albeit the results so far are of the most encouraging nature. The likelihood is that Sir Leonard Tilley intends to perfect and improve his bantling next session, and this is the meaning of his present tour of observation through the workshops and factories. Whatever may be said against the presént Administration, it cannot fairly be said that its members are careless of the work set apart for them te do, or indifferent to the interests of Can- c 2 industry.

Kaiser William in Alsace.

THE PLEASANTEST EPISODE OF HIS VISIT’.

As the German Emperor was riding late- ly near Starsburg, he eame up to a very

handsome old peasant with a wooden leg, who wore upon his breast the Cross of the Legion and several war medals. The Em- peror, speaking in French, asked Rusticus where he had served and how he had lost his leg. Drawing himself up and looking the old Emperor straight in the face, the peasant came to the salute, and an- swered : “‘I served thirty-four years in the 2nd Regiment of Zouaves—fourteen cam- paigns in Algiers, the Crimea, Italy and Mexico—lost my leg at Sedan.” ‘You have, indeed, seen some service, my fine fellow,” observed the Emperor. ‘‘So, so, sire. There’s good soldier's blood in my family. My father served for thirty years under* Napoleon the Great, I served Napoleon the Third for nineteen years, and my eldest boy, who is now in the Guard Rifles at Berlin, will, please God, serve the Emperor William for many along year tocome.” The Emperor, de- lighted with the bold and frank demeanor of the man, asked if he could do anything for him. ‘ Thanks, sire,” said the veteran, ‘*T get a liberal invalid pension from Paris, and earn a good deal of money besides by weaving baskets and cutting owt wooden shoes. [have gota little house and gar- den ef my own, and that is quite enough forme and my old woman as long as we shall live. We want nething more.” ‘‘ You are a rare good fellow,” said the Emperor, saluting as he gathered up the reins, “‘ and it has been a great pleasure to me to make yeur acquaintance.” ‘‘ Many thanks, sire ; the honor is altogether mine,” rejoined the Alsatian, still standing rigidly at the salute, as the Emperor rede away. The fatter afterwards spoke of his talk with this inde- pendent old solder as the pleasantest epi- sode of his visit te Alsace.

It has been discovered that the entie mountain of Cheticamp, C. B., is full of copper, which has been traced for miles. Some leads are twelve inches in width. Sur- face samples yielded 30 per cent. of copper and others show 34 per cent. copper; 28

iron, 35 sulphur, 3 silicia.
