The government, said Mr. Peck, has not yet officially decided. but (after consulting with government members, he felt quite safe in making 'this as- sertion. The haying season, which comes towards the end of July, makes it necessary to hold the pleblscitl about this time.

Mr. Peck expressed the hope that once again this province will lem me temnerance sent1m¢1\i=°f Canada.

In Icanada the reduction applies to Igrain carried between Georgian Bay 'ports and Montreal or Quebec and the reduction is two cents a bushel. In United States the reduction is two cents a bushel between Buffalo and New York. The reduction makes the rate on ‘wheat to Montreal from bay ports 6.8 cents instead of 8.6. The rate be- tween Buffalo and New York on the $91119 C°mm°iiii»y is reduced by the Interstate Commerce Commission from 9.1 cents to 7.1 cents. An order of the board puttinglthe reduction into effect was signed this aftemoon by Hon. R A. McKeown, Chairman of the Board of Railway Commissioners, and Assistant Commissioner J.J. Mc- Lean.

To Saint John, West saint John, Halifax, Boston, East Boston and Portland, Maine, 11.84 cents per 100 pounds.
