The Live Cattle Trade

THe great mortality of cattle in transport from America to England is attracting the attention of some of the British statesmen. Mr. Plimsoll has submitted to parliament a bill for the restriction of deck loading and the provision of water-tight bulkheads, in order that cattle may be wore comfortable on board. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, in support of this bill, said a few days ago :

‘IT have a list of ships arriving at British ports in L888 and 1889, and I find that the Palestine lost 168 out of 344 cattle, the Rialto $14 out of 328, the North Durham 281 out of 880. That was in 1888, and in 1889 the Ox- ford lest 151 out of 187, the lowa 519 out of 625, the Lake Superior 313 out of 470, and the Manitoba 204 out of 246.’

One would think that the loss accruing to shippers and insurance companies, as a result of such mortality as_ this, would quickly induce better facilities for the cou- veyance of There

must be a great deal of money in the busi

cattle on shipboard.

ness when cattle dealers will continue to run the risk of such losses as these. The Government deprecate hasty legis-

lation on account of the effects that may be

produced upon British conllmerce ind the

prices of food for the British people. The question which has been raised is regarded as of very great iimportance; and therefore the bill will not pass this session.

Export.

The United States Cattle

An advance statement of the export from

the United States of cattle and hogs and their products is of interest to us; for it

shows that our neighbors and competitors of

their opportunities and increasing their

across the way are making the most

foreign business. This statement sets forth

that the total value of cattle

expt rted for

the year ending June 30, 1889, was $16,- 118,309 ; for the corresponding period end. ing June 30, 1890, $29,993,082, an increase ! The beef

United States exports «f breadstuffs during

the past year reached in value a total of

$150,690,033, an increase of upward of $30,000,000 on the preceding twelve months. Our neighbors, having grown

more than enough for their sixty millions, are flooding the markets of the world with

their products ;—and their own protective

tariff does not seem to be much ofa hindrance. If, however, the McKinley Tariff Bill should become law, and if the

European countries should apply counter

vailing dutes, there may be a different story to tell next year. nn > Notes and Comments.

- One of the features of military drill in the Russian army is the training of soldiers to swim in battalions, at the same time using their weapons. At the recent annual

military manceuvres in the presence of the

Czar, a fine exhibition of proficiency was given in this direction. A large force of

infantry swam across a wide lake in full marching order, with the help of fascines made of reeds and rushes, or of inflated sheepskins. At the same time they kept up a lively fire on the boats of a supposed enemy who were disputing their passage

- The Methodists in the British navy have asked for the appointment of chaplains of their own faith. Of late years a large proportion of the new recruits for the navy have been Methudists, and this clement hus several times recently murmured against the ministrations of the Chaplains of the Church of England to which the rules of service subject them. This discontent has finally taken definite shape, and the men under recognized leaders, are agitating for their own denominational services, which no doubt they will ultimately get.

—Great as the growth in population of western cities has been during the past ten years, a number of cities in the Southern States have realized ano less remarkable progress. The population of Memphis in- creased one hundred and twenty-three per cent. Atianta’s increase was one hundred per cent. Dallas rolls up figures showing a gain of two hundred and eighty per cent. Chattanooga’s increase was one hundred and forty eight per cent,, while its suburbs also gained heavily. Fort Worth’s increase was three hundred and sixty-five per cent., while Birmingham, Ala., doubtless surpass- ed every other city in the country in the rate of increase, which is nearly eight hun- dred percent. From all of which facts it can well be argued that Brother Jonathan’s bad fiscal policy is absolutely ruining the United States.

—Mr. Joseph Gillott was a Birmingham working jeweler in 1830. One day he accidently split one of his fine steel tuols, and being suddenly required to sign a ree ceipt, not finding his quill pen at hand, he used the split tool as a ready substitute,

This happy accident led to the idea of mak-

ing pens of metal. It was carried out with secrecy and promptitude, and the pens of Gillott became famous. The manufacture of wetal pens has been as important as any invention connected with business and edu- cation since that of printing. There are | now numerous firms which supply as many pens every day as all the geese in England could have supplied ina year. There 1s still, however, a large demand for quills and quill pens ; but for common use, In these days of universal education, the im- portance of Gillott’s first invention 1s mM- calculable.

—'The area of Canada, according to the latest estimate by the Interior Depariment, from data supplied by government survey- ors, is 3,519,000 square miles, the land sur- face being estimated at 3,379,000 square miles. These figures are less than those which have passed current for some years,

A Scorr Act Rarp.—Inspector Brown has been raiding Chatham, and the liquor dealers are somewhat more circumspect in making sales. He founda keg of whisky at Mr. TI. Flanagan's store, ani the owner paid $50 for having had it there. Mrs. Uonway, of the Central House, wes cha:ged with selling, but the witnesses were hazy as to what it was they had bought from her, and the prosecu- tion failed. A search was made of Mr Join Fraser's house, but nothing of an intoxicating character was found. ‘There was a leak somewhere,” says the inspector, sadly, *‘and Fraser got wind of my visit. But I'll sec that there’s no leak next time.” Other com- plaints and search warrants are impending.—

The largest number came from the Waterville, Berwick and Kingston districts. During the same period St. John received 16,845 boxes of Kings and Annapolis berries. In other words Kings and Annapolis counties sold $20,000 worth of strawberries to the two cities this season.

Mustarp iN THE VeTcHES.—Reports reach the Pioneer that a large quantity of wild mustard is growing, principally among the vetch crop, on the Island this year. Evidently, the seed has come among the vetches. This yellow weed is one that gives considerable trouble to the farmer, and every means should be used tu exter- minate it. The necessity is also seen of getting vetches and other grain free from this weed or of having good separators so that the seed can be thoroughly cleaned be- fore being used.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

An Explanation.

Sir,—A correspondent in your issue of Saturday complains of the laxity of arrange- ment with regard to Prof Robertson's lec ture of Friday evening, and of ** the care- lessness which advertised the lecture as at seven and notified the lecturer for eight o’elock.” There was no laxity whatever on the part of those whose duty it was to inake the arrangements. The hour of 7 o'clock was fixed upon so «s to enable residents on the south side of the Hillsborough to hear the lecture and return home the same even- ing. Prof. Robertson was notified that the hour was seven o’clock, and he returned to the city purposely by the afternoon train ot Friday, so asto be here intime. [ft ap- pears, however, that shortly after his arr- ‘val in the city he received a note from a ‘friend, informing him that the lecture was to be at eight o’clock, and on this note he acted. Where the friend obtained his in- formation is known only to himself: | B. D. Hees,

Secretary Board of Trade.

fhe Provincial Exhibition, 1890.

| Six,——The general public, and moure es- | pecially intending exhibitors, will be gla } to know that the prize list, rules, regula- tions, ete., for the first annual agricultural 'and industria! exhibition of the Charlotte- ltown Driving Park and Provincial Exhibi- | tion Association are being issued at Coombs’ | steam printing office, and that within a few | days four thousand copies of these pamph- lets will be ready for circulation. | The prize list contains several new fea- tures, additional classes and sections, es- pecially in live stock.

The cash prizes in all the departments are much larger than those previously awarded at any of our provincial exhibi- tions—larger, also, than were given at the Moncton exhibition last year, and equal iu the more important classes of horses and cattle to those offered this year by the Exhibition Association of St. John, N. B.

The grounds and buildings of the Assv- ciation are all that can be desired ex- hibition purposes. The horse stables, cattle, ‘sheep and pig sheds, and poultry cops, built by contractors Parkman & Crabbe, are already completed and being painted.

tur

The work on the main building is being | pushed forward by contractors Clarke & |Schurman, and it will also be ready in

ample time for the grand exhibition open- ing on the 30th day of September next. The grand stand, refreshment saloon, fence, &c., built last year, are in first-class order.

With those enlarged and greatly improv- ed accommodations and excellent facilities for the proper display of exhibits in all the departments of the exhibition, it is the

duty. as well as privilege, of the pro- ducers of the whole Island, in agri- cultura! and manufacturing industries, |

in the fishing business, and in every other department of home industry, to come to

the front and vie with each other in con- tributing to maintain the honor of our

Island Province, and uphold her true pos- ition as the ‘‘Garden of the Gulf.”

Advices already received from different ' points indicate, on the part of farmers and | stockraisers especially, a deep interest in | the coming exhibition.

The importance of early and active pre- parations, in order that our varied produc- tions may be properly represented, cannot be too strongly urged upon eveay one in- terested in the development of our Island resources. Let there be nothing lacking which will tend to secure the most favor- able representation possible of the indus- trial capabilities of the Province.

Copies of the prize list, rules, etc., and also a printed entry form will be mailed on application to the exhibition secretary, and can also be had from the secretaries of the County Exhibitions.

Those rules should be carefully’ read by all exhibitors in every class of the Exhibi- tion, as they must be rigidly enforced in order to prevent confusion. The time limited for making and receiving entries of exhibits, the duties and privileges of ex- hibitors and judges, admission to and on the grounds, are all pointed out, and if closely observed and enforced by all parties interested, will prove important factors in the management of the Exhibition.

Mr. Charles R. Smallwood, of the ‘rm of Warburton & Smallwood, and Mrs. Small- wood, returned from a six weeks’ trip to St. John’s, Nfid., Montreal and other cities, last evening.

At yesterday morning’s service, Rev. W. B. Hinson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, intimated that it was his intention to resign at the close of his present pastoral year. The Church is one of the largest in the Province and the work correspondingly heavy.—Mone- ton Times.
