DETROIT, July 1.-THE delegates from all
the leading cities and commercial interests in
the united States and British Provinces. are
in attendance at the Trade Convention in this
city. Canada Is well represented and the re-
representatives. from that section are active in
their efforts to induce an extension of the Re.
ciprocity Treaty. The Western delegates, who
are here in great force, second this view. A
powerful protection influence from the New
England and Northern States opposes the re-
newd of the Treaty.
The meeting may not be harmonious, but
the proceedings promise to elicit important
facts connected with commerce and industry
The Canadian delegates are favorable to an ex-
tension of the Canadian Canals, in order to IA
cilitate American commerce.
