He loses nothing, therefore, from bemg overstocked. The article is a staple one, for which there is aa constant a demand as for wheat or flour, and the merchant can therefore, sell it at a minimum rate of profit.

Tue first sod of the Halifax Dry Dock, the biggest job of its kind ia the world, was turn- ed on Saturday afternoon last at 3 o'clock, by His Worship, Mayor McIntosh, The Pail Mali Gazette gives the people of Halifax some good advice. After describing the great natural advantages of the port and stating that the proposed new graving deck will be the largest in the world, it says that the city would probably have a great future before it if ite citizens had some of the energy that charac- terizes the founders of the Canada Pacific Rail- way and would sink their individualism and work together for the interest of their city and port as well as for the welfare and pro- grees of the great Dominion of Canada, The Pall Mali Gazette has struck the nail cn the head. The people of Halifax are too sleepy and too provincial. If the city is ever to bave a great future it will be because the people wake up to the fact that they are not an iso- lated community, bret a port for the Dominion of Canada for all t'me, and the only wa; to secure prosperity. is to be alive to the com- mercis] opportunities of Canada,

During the evening Jailer Tait being out, the members of his family noticed a strong smell of smoke and could not tell from whence it proceeded Becoming alarmed, they looked up the jailer, who,upon going up stairs and glancing into the room occupied by Gillis saw a firs nicely staated in one corner, the flames reaching nearly to the ceiling.
