The November Bank Statement.
THE etatement i Vansalmnb Banks show a large increase of neariy $0 000,000 in commercial loans during November and almost ten m llions for the year. lt is he ped that our merc hants are not over, stepping the bounds cf prudence and that
this advance is Warr anted by a rrespond-
increase in the volume of legitimate
If not, the merchants and the
ing business country will feel the pinch in the course of g. Inthe meautime, if not paid
next spri promptly, these loans will tend to make money tighter at the banks Oa the
other hand it is satisfactory to learn that the amouat of overdue debts has, since last year, been diminished by abvut $280,000,
77,000 of this last amount having been paid off in November; that the note circu lation was never before so high, reaching the aggregate of $39,318,200; and that the deposits ot the people have been in- creased since this time last year by about $20,000,000. This last item is most satisfac- tory of all; for it shows beyond a doubt that the people at large are prosperous and also that they are thrifty ard careful

269,169 ; our exports of phosphates 1878 were valued at $12,278, 1891 $422,200; our exports of asbestos were worth $19,500 in 1879; in 1891, $413,909.

Notes and Comments.
— The present cold snap will make good ice in our rivers.
~ It is pleasing to note that Professor Robertson bas succeeded in assuring the merchants of Bristol that Canadian cheese is good,
—The West Zorra Farmers’ institute, has expressed the opinion that it is better to retain the present system of statute labor than to adopt one which is calculated tb secure better results. This leads the Hamilton Spectator to remark that no other thing could reasonably be looked for in West Zorra as, at the last general election the vote in that township stood 51 Conservatives to 364 Grits.
—The Ottawa Free Press has been vary sheeting in its remarks about Hon. Mr, Angers in his new position. After the Ot- tawa Free Press had slandesed a member of Mr. Angers’ family by representing that some of the Mercier gang's political plunder had been sent to his house, the editor of the paper publicly dined on crow at the somewhat urgent invitation of the Minister of Agriculture. Tne indigestion caused by the meal—as the Montreal Gezette remarks —evidently troubles him yet.
Mr. J. Israel Tarte does not like Sir John Thompson on the ground that he “is ready to sacrifice our French brethren in Manitoba.” The esteemed Mail doesn't like the Premier; it fears “he will sacrifice interests of the majority there.” It is certainly difficult to please everybody, but Sir John will probably eatisfy the Dominion at large by doing what is right, and that is better than to attempt pleasing the delectable supporter of Mr. Laurier in Quebec or his truculent organ in Ontario.
~ The Empire :
— More money has been already paid out in creating the World's Fair than the directors thought would be necessary te complete it when Congress voted to send the Exposition to Chicago. Jen million dol'ars was thought to be the limit then. Auditor Ackerman’s re-
rte show that the expenditures to December
st have been $12,460,235.61. The receipts have been $15,299,451 88. The available balance on hand December 1 was $636,063 33, about enough to last two weeks at the present rate of expenditure. But the souvenir coins are coming soon and the directors have nearly $2,000,000 yet of exposition bonds from which no capital has been received, so that the machinery will be kept well lubricated,
— The statement of Canadian exports for November is not so favorable as that of some recent months, the total exports being $11 829,914, as compared with $16,- 203,075 in November of last year. The falling off in goods, the produce of Canada, is $2,330,929, and in produce of other countries $2,C42,222 The faliing off in both cases is principally in agricultural pro- ducts, the shipments of which in November last year were exceptionally large. The price of wheat then, it must be remem- bered, was about thirty cents a bushel more than it is now. Taking the five months of the fiscal year, however, the outlook is still very encouraging, the total exports ot goods, the produce of Canada, showing an increase of $5.256,942. The produce of other countries, however, shows a considerable decrease, being $3,251.793, which is wholly in agricultual products, which shows that the amount of American grain which found an outlet through Canada this year was very considerably less than last year. The value of goods entered for consumption in November wes $9,797,979, an increase of $1,378,263 over last November. For the five months, the total entered for consumption was $52,016, - 414, an increase of $3,572,277 over the same period last year. As the imports show an increase the duty collected naturally does su too; the smount collected for November was $1,580,873, and for the five menths $8,926,618, showing an increase
of $814,098.

Xmas Tree and Tea
A meeting of the committee for the children’s Xmas tea and tree was held this forenoon. Many highly encouraging re- ports were made. There were some mem- bers however, who had not as yet made a canvass among their people, though gen- erally, notice was given in the churches last Sunday. The committee urge contrib- utors sending in their gifts to Mr. Carter’s at once, as the work of distribution after will take some time. It is estimated that some 500 children wiil be in attendance Mr. Patrick Morazhan’s generous cffer to supply all cups, saucers and plates was gladly accepted. it was further decided that as the space in the Market Hall will be largely taken up by the children, only contributors and the ladies waiting on the tables will be admitted on the evening of jthe tea. Lady waiters are kindly re- | quested to provide table cloths as well as knives and forks. Three large Xmas trees will be set up in the hall for the smaller presents and sweetmeats. Small muslin and paper bigs for confectionery will be wanted. Ladies generally are specially re- quested to send some in before two o'clock p. m., tu-morrow. Milk will also be wanted, some 10 gallons in all. Send it in bottles or anything.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Railway Management. Str,—Through the agitation of the press, isome twelve months ayo, the Minister of Railways spent in the vicinity of a thousand dollars in placing and fitting up urinals and water-closets in our railway station for the public use. The people of P. E. Island are anxious to know how it is that some three of the officials on the railway keep the keys (although there are three apartments) and the public excluded altogether. This is another evidence of the accommedation dealt out to the travelling public by our railway management,
Crrizen.

The Rink.
Str,—A large number of people took advantage of the excellent ice and music at the Hillsborough Rink last evening, and thoroughjy enjoyed themselves for two hours.
The management are to be congratulated upon having such a fine sheet of ice so early in the season ; and, judging from the good attendance on the opening night, need have no fear of coming out with s deficit at the close of the skating season.
All persons having the welfare of the rink at heart should try and aid the directors in every way; and certainlyshould not make engagements for Band nights. Porty givers and party goers should bear this in mind, There are other nights in the week besides Monday and Thursday on which te give parties, and the Rink Directors will be grateful if this hint is taken to he: rt by all at the beginning of the season.

TRIPLE MURDER.
A Man Murders His Family and Stabs Himself.
Worcester, Mass., Dec. 27.
A horrible triple murder and suicide was discovered yesterday in a building on Tain- ter Street. H. C. Varnum and his little edopted daughter were found dead, and his wife died on the way to the hospital. Mrs. Wright, mother of Mrs. Varnum, lies at the hospital in a critical condition. No sign of violence was to be seen about the house. The weapon with which the deed was done was an iron door-hanger. The man was stabbed with a knife identified as his own. The terrible work was evidently done by Varnum, who has been in a despondent state.
