attack on the Timber Trade of Canada-1lme
Dissatisf dction-Aanerdtion
In every measure brought forward by the Minis
try of the day, they would-to use vulgarism-
appear "to have put their foot in it." Another
scheme of iniquity has just leaked out, and of so
important character as to fix the attention of the
most lethargic observer.
1t would appear, from despatch dated the 10Th
December, 1913, written to Lord Grey by Lord
Elgin, covering minute of council respecting
the proposed railway from Halifax to Quebec, that
as further inducement to the imperial govern
ment entering into its construction, the Ministry
proposed, as guaranty of the payment of the in
terest on the outlay, that duty Of seven Filings
and sxpence per load upon all lumber exported from
Canada, should be levied This selection of a
particular branch of Canadian trade which already
finds 1t difficult to compete with that exported from
Norway and the Baltic, is calculated to raise the
indignation OF the commercial community in par
tcuar and the country generally. The timber
trade OF Canada, as you are aware, is now one of
the most lucrative that we possess Every year it
is increasing; and to its prosperity the various
towns on the Ottawa owe much. To attack
this trade, Is to wage war with all those en-
gagged and interested in land they atthe present
vessels engaged in this trade is not less than twelve
or thirteen hundred, annually. How, then, is it
possible that the Canadian producer can pay seven
siIHlnGs anu slXpence per load, ana compete with
his Baltic rival? The freight of load of timber
from the Baltic to England is from fourpence to
6vepence foot; that from Quebec is from eight
pence to Understanding a difference of four
pence a foot against Canada. Let twopence foot
be added to that difference, and see how we will
meet it,
Saturday being appointed for the meeting of
committees, the Legislature did not meet. Last
night nothing of Importance was transacted in the
House of Assembly. The nomination for can
didate for the member of the county of Sher-
brooke takes place to-day Mr. Gait is the only
candidate that has at present come forward: and
as there is no body to oppose him, it is of course
likely that he will be elected
In Hamilton, and the upper province generally,
the subject Of annexation is still under discussion
The convention established in Montreal is to meet
on Thursday evening next, for the transaction of
important business.
The navigation is now fairly open, and the va
rlous steamers plying. A very large amount of
produce is expected from Upper Canada this spring,
and much is now on it's way.
The weather, the last few days has changed ex-
ceedingy-today we had an exceedingly heavy
snow storm. The Bachelors ball comes off to-
night, and the attention of everybody is directed

PARIS, April 8, lS49
The Bo,rse and Money Market.

My last report brought the transactions of the
Bourse up to Wednesday the 2lst OF March. On
Thursday all kinds of omlnous news was spread
the Mountain had protested-the journals protested
lie Penpte sowed terror In Paris-Radetzky hurled
the most deadly defiance at Charles Albert-the
king of Naples had dissolved the parliament; but
still the attitude of the government and the general
posture of internal affairs, afforded check to all
these sayings of evil augury On Friday the Bourse
was almost IN a state of stagnation. The manifesto
of the Austrian cabinet had, in some Sort neutral
lied the fearful denunciations of Radetzky On Sa-
turday, good news showered on the market, and
the hve per cents rose above SO. The Parliament
OF Frankfort drew back from the completion OF Its
work, which was called by some the unity, and by
others the ACKNOWLEDGMENT, OF Germany; Lord Pal
merston had dlssipated the fears excited in France
and England by the (according to him, momentary)
occupation OF the Danuhian provinces; and Lord
Lansdowne, abandoning Charles Albert, had extri-
Gated France and England from the risk OF an in
tervenuon equally dreaded by both.
Such was the termination of the first week; and
yet although the events were of stirring moment,
public credit could not be said to be nterfered with
The truth Is, that the general price of the Rentes
was IN accordance with the general position of at
fairs, and order and confidence are beginning to
work their effects
During the week that ensued, the Bourse was

We have not, tor a long time, seen great fuctua-
tlons or business transacted TO such large amounts
AT the moment when the armlstice was concluded
between the two armies in Italy, there existed
enormous amounts of transactions, which compelled
repurchase On this account, and from the APP
preaching settlement, a rise was forced and ac-
cordingy we see quotations considerably advanced.
This, compelled many spectators to continue to
the end Of the month of April. The rise was aided
by many large banking houses having large
amounts of Rentes to deliver, and by the practice of
discounting in advance, the events favorable to a
rise, amongst which the coming elections and their
probable results some. The rise still continues.
Other securities have partaken of the tendency
to rise of the Renes.
The railway. meetings which have taken place
state of affairs regards the receipts Of the past
year, and the dividends have been proporonally
small. The hope, however, that matters have
been at the worst, and that lS4S was an exceptional
year, prevents much of those securities beng
thrown on the market, and has indeed produced
demand for some of the lines, amongst others that
of Orleans, which are considered to be safe and
sure investments. / suboin the prices -

The Diplomatic smnggIi.g OF stockholm.

The Diplomatic Smuggling ut Stockholm.
The writer OF these lines has not for object to
blame Mr.. Ellsworth for his undignified conduct
In the above case, but 10 exonerate Mr. Arfwedson,
United States Consul at Stockholm, from the
groundess imputatlon contained in several COM
munications which have lately appeared in diffe-
rent newspapers, to the ,purport that the goods
attempted to be struggled into Stockholm by Mr..
Ellsworth, under the cloak of his diplomatic privi-
lege, were IN some way other the property of
Nr. Arfwedson. To the friends and acquaintances
OF Mr.. Arfwedson in this country, il is needless to
state that he was in no manner or way, directly or
indirectly, concerned in the smuggling case. This
public denial is, however, due to Mr.. Arfwedson;
and 1t is now made, distinctly and unequivoeay.
An extract from a letter from Mr.. Ellsworth,
dated Stockholm, 18th October last was published
some time since In an Indiana newspaper. In it
Mr. Ellsworth aludes to a quarrel he had had with
gentleman IN Stockholm (meaning Mr.. Arrived
SOM, on the subject OF entering some baggage at
the Custom House in Stockholm. This letter has
been supposed, by persons unacquanted with the
facts, TO allude to the diplomatic smuggling
case J; whereas II alludes TO an entirely different
case, the facts OF which are briefly as follows ~
Before Mr. Arfwedson left Sweden for America,
with his family, last summer MIR. Ellsworth offered
to Mrs. Arfwedson, in the presence of an Amer-
can gentleman , now ,G IN r tins city and whose name
pass, the baggage and effects of her family
on their return. This offer was made by Mr.
Ellsworth out of compliment to the Consul's
wealth and of the highest standing and respectable
llty-and was frankly accepted by her, merely as a
mark OF courtesy towards Mr.. Ellsworth whom
she did not wish to refuse slight an offer of his
diplomatic privileges. The family of Mr. Arrived
son returned To- Stockholm in the beginning of
October last Their baggage consisted Of trunks
and packages, containing nothing but the personal
effects OF Mr. Afwedsons party, which comprised
nine persons. On their return, Mr. Ellsworth
quarrelled with Mr.. Arfwedson on the subject of
some pecunlary matters, refused to pass the bag
gage at first, but afterwards represented the case
to Baron Sterneld, who lmned iately gave free
permit for the baggage. The whole transaction
was at an end before the close of the month Of
October.
The ten cases of dry goods attempted to he
smuggled by Mr.. Ellsworth, arrived in Stockholm
on the &b Of December last, from Lubbock. We
find a public erpose OF the whole affair in the
Swedish newspapers, printed in January last
The two transactions are wholly and entirely
distinct, and have nothing whatever to do with
each other. The object of mixisg Mr.. Arrived
sens name with the smuggling case. is either mad,
in ignorance, or for the ~! rUsc Of conceang the
true facts Of the smuggling case. G. T. Ii.
