Algeria, just published, it is stated that during the
35 years succeeding the conquest of the country it
has only cost France £2,423,245—" a sum by no

balanced by the benefits, both moral and material,
which it has produced."

The accounts from the Red River territory with
regard to the prospects of the North-Western fur
crop for the present season state that from perhaps
the excessive " catch" of last year mink are not
likely to yield over one-half the usual number. The
lynx also is caught in far less number than last year.
The yield of otters, beavers, martens, rats, fisher,
and foxes will be about the same as that of last year ;
while the number of the skins of the skunk will be
largely in excess. The buffalo—erratic always—
seemed of late to have almost deserted the terri-
tory; but the latest reports describe a return move-
ment toward the Red River, so that for the spring
trade a fair supply is yet expected.
