VIE HUDSON BAY COMPANY.

The Hudson Bay Territory having ceased to be
as a
in the
source
of profit to the company may now be regarded
market for sale to the highest bidder. At the last meet-
ing of the company in London the dividends for the year
were merely nominal, amounting to only £1 stringtelng per
share. This slender margin was apologised
grounds of dulness of trade in British Columbia and Van-
couver's Island. It also transpired that then cquisition of
Russian America was a souree of loss, by epriving the
country of the right, formerly enjoyed by it, of hunting
on a portion of the mainland on the payment of a nominal
rent. A more ominous cause of loss arose) from a falling
off in the supply of fur, owing to a supposed periodical
diminution in the number of animals. This last fact must
bo taken into account by Mr. Seward when driving
a bar-
gain for territory.
The conclusion of the whole matter is that the d
n Hudson
Bay Company has ceased to be a paying than
the managers would like to sell out. It is
not quite clear
what the company has got to soli. They may bo only
able to dispose of their interest in the fur business without
being in a position to give a title to the country. Probably
the English authorities may claim the sovoreignty, and
interposo to prevent any sale that may not be in accord-
ance with the interests of the Imperial Government
Waiving this point, we find that the country may be dis-
posed of in ono of threo ways. It may be erected into a
crown colony, annexed to the new Dominion of Canada,
or sold to the United States.
Failing the purchase of the country by our Governmob-
ent
its erection into a Crown colony would L 3 the more
vious mode of dealing with it. Th o new Canadian Go-
like thistcourse, course, as it would thus throw
vernment woold
upon the Home Government the heavy initial expenses of
governing and taking care of a wild and vast region, that
cannot be rendered pecuniarily profitable for a long time
to come, if over. But this is just what the English Go-
vernment wishes to avoid. There is a growing conviction
in:England ever sinoe the times of George Washingto
and the
n, that
colonies are not worth the expenses of keeping them,
bo that if Canada wishes to prevent
feeling would probably
the country frora.falling under the control o the Unitod
States it must at once assume the duties and respons
ties of ownership and pay its own bills.
While this bickering is goinon g
between the New Do-
are that the
minion and the English Government, it appe
negotiations with Mr. Seward for the
sale of the territorSiry
have gone further than is generally supposed.
Francis Head, Mr. Watkins, and other
of
she Cana
of tho
company, growing tired of the shabby course of t
dian authorities as manifested by their evident disposi-
ng
tion to undervalue the purchase, as well aor s the stro
enterod
probability that Canada could not pay cash f it,
into negotiations with the United States Government. It
was this fact occasioned the recent rumours that Mr. Se-
ward had effected a treaty with the British Government
for the purchase. It was not with the English Government,
however, that our Secretary of State was in treaty, but
with the Hudson Bay Company, and wo understand that
the whole matter will be shortly presented to Congress for
action.
The acquisition of this territory by our Goverment
would be more important in a politic:d t c
cial point of view. But it would incidentally- benefit our
commercial interest in that part of the
sessions.—A'
