DUTY ON AMERICAN WHEAT EX-
PORTED INTO CANADA.

Some important changes are being
made in the present business relations
OF the United States and the British Pro
vlnces which must undoubtedly have a
material influence upon the Wheat Mar
ket Of the West,
The Governor General OF Canada,
Sir Charles Bagor, has received dis
patches from Lord Stanley, one Of the
British Ministry, announcing the inton-
ton OF the home government to reduce
the duty upon Flour brought TO England
from the Canadian Provinces TO mere
nominal rate, This duty has heretofore
been considerable. This proposition is
also accompanied by the condition that
the Provincial government shall impose
a duty upon wheat imported into Cana.
da This condition, it is evident, has
a direct bearing upon the interests q
the wheat growers of the West, as it is
we'll known that the Canadas annual
furnish a market for a vast amount o
American wheat. Wealthy Canadian
houses have agents at tho prinrlpa
wheat marts along the lakes, and large
quantities Of grain are also sent acros

owners, for sale. Those who are FAM

IMPORTANT DECISION IN BANKRUPTCY.
An opinion Of some importance to applicants

The question decided by the Court arose in the

firm Of John H. Mellor g. Co., who presented
their petition for the benefit of the Bankrupt Law
on the 9th ut., at which time the Court ordered
cause to be shown on the 5th of September, why
they should not be declared bankrupts. 1t seems
that on the day after this order was made an exc

a Frophecy.-A correspondent at Washington
OF the Newark Daily Advertiser relates the fol-
lowing:
l have frequently observed ladies' albums cir
culated through the House and Senate Chamber,
with the view of collecting the autographs of the
members. One this morning, belonging to a
young lady Of, attracted considerable atten-
ton. Upon examination, found it contained u
page OF well written poetry, dated 23d July last,
in the tremulous hand writing of John @. Adams.
This piece was descriptive of the wild chaos at
present spread over political affairs, and anti
cipnted coming events which would bring order
out of disorder. The closing verse was as fol-
lows:
"Say, for whose brow this laurel crown1
For whom this web of life is spinning?
Turn this thy Album ide down,
And take the end for the beginning"
The meaning of this was somewhat mystical
but by turning to the back Of the book, and in
vertlng it, on Its last page piece was found with
the signature of III. CLAY!

WINCHESTER AND POTOMAC RAIL ROAD
COMPANY.

COMPANY.
We have before US the eleventh annual report Of
the Winchester and Potomac Rail Road Compa-
my, made to the stockholders on the 9Th instant.
The corporation, which for years past has
been In an exceedingly embarrassed condilion,-
owing TO the cost OF tho road having exceeded the
capital subscribed by about two-thirds OF the
whole stock,--is now in a more promising situa'
ton than it has been since It's commencement
The directors, however, advert with pride and
pleasure to the fact, that although the road has
yielded no direct benefit TO the stockholders, it has
not been without it's advantages to the commune
'y. The lands through which the road passes,
and In all tho country contiguous thereto, have
carried to market at an exceedingly cheap rate |;
and last but not least, the farmers have been ena-
bled thereby to procure supply ofplaster for
fching their lands which their distance from tide
would Otherwise have prevented them from ever
receiving. The receipts of tho road for the fiscal
year, ending July Is, were $55,950; being S.
$40 less than in 1871 and Sl2,53O less than in
is40. The excess fthe expenditures over the
receipts was 81 ,655. This is readily accounted
flor by the falling offn the quantity OF Flour carr-
ed over the road, which was in 1910, l62,5l5
barrels; in lS4l, los, 794; in 1912, IO2, O6G
The Directors have devoted much attention to
the management of the road, and while they have
improved the motive power, and the cars, and the
road itself, they have diminished the daily expen-
ees: at the same time they have rgidly enforced
discipline and regularity, and while they use as
much expedition as is prudent, they state that
scarcely an accident has occurred during the
year, and not a dollar has been incurred for loss
or damage OF freight since November last. A
great saving has been experienced in using ,allow
instead Of oil on the axles of the cars; i'm saving
fuel by machinery instead of hand and in using
tho yellow pine timber floated down the Shcnan-
doah and sawed at Harpers' Ferry, which is pro-
nounced to be superior 10 the best Southern pine,
and 10 thlrty-three per cent. cheaper.
Tho arrangements entered into with the Dati-
more and Ohio Rail Road and the Valley Turn
pike Companies for the transportation OF plaster
has proved highly advantageous both to the road
and the country. During the year 1912, the
quantity ofplaster carried up was 3,273 tons, be-
ing saving in freight to the community of Sl2,-
500, or four per cent. the whole capital of the
company. The Directors now enter upon new
year with every prospect Of large and profitable
business.
