HUDSCN'S BAY COMPANY.

A hundred and forty years ago, or more,
Charles II. chartered the {" Hudson's Bay
Company" and gave it exclusive prlvl!e-
ges of establishing trading factories on
Hudson's Bay, and its tributary rivers
1t took possession o. the territory, and en-
joyed its trade, without opposition, till
1887, when a rival company-the North
American Fur company OF Canada,' sprung
up. This latter was composed entirely of
Canadians, and was noted for its energy
and enterprise. The jealousies naturally
arising between rivals, led to the most bar
barous battles, and the sacking and burn
ing Of each others posts. In 1921, Par
lament intcrfered and consolidated them
into one, under the title Of the Hudson 5
Bay Company They occupy vast
country, and their operations are those oil
a vast monopoly. All the British posses
sions North of the Canadas TO the Arctic
Ocean, are their hunting and trapping
grounds. They have leased for twenty
wears from 1910, all OF Russian America
except the post of Siika. Thus this pow
erful Company control more than one-nln't
of The soil Of the globe. It's capitalists are
in England, and its Board OF Managers
transact their business at the Hudson
Bay House, in London. This Board buy
all the goods and ship them TO the terrific
ry. sell the furs, and transact all the affairs
of the Company, except the actual bust
ness of collecting furs in their territory
The annual value Of their peltries is about
a million of dollars. The net profit of the
fur trade is immense. The shares Of the
Company's stock, which originally cos
one hundred pounds, are at one hundred
per cent premium, and the dividends range
from ten per cent upwards, and this, too

be curiosity at any time, but for so dry
a season as the past has been, it quite takes

there, giving variety and beauty TO the
extended landscape. A lille father on
