Bunk iii Ontario adds another to the too-long list of sucli occurrences in f"aiiada. The Canadian banking sys- tem luis been much praised, but if the system is 9. good one it must he obvious that the ndiiiinistration of it leaves something' to be desired. Else we should not have had thc failures of the Ontario, Sovereign, Yarmouth and other banks, and now the Fai'iiicrs following one another in succession. The Toroiito Globe points out that the Farmers Bank had $979,800 of capital subscr-ibed of which only $567,357 was paid up. A block of 3,850 slinrcs stood iii the niiiiic of a New York man, but not one dollar of the $385,000 thus sub- scribed had been paid. Itappcars ltlist among the trunsactioiis of the hank was an advance of halfa mil- lion dollars to n single mining com- pany in (‘obnlt. Anil now a.
