The Canadian people and press are
greatly excited, and some of them are
furious over the failure of their COM
mission recently in Washington to
induce our Government to renew the
reciprocity treaty. A Toronto paper
declares that the members of the com
mission shamefully humbled them
selves, and that they dare not submit
to Parliament the requirements made
OF them as consideration for its
renewal. The Government papers
pretend to be pleased with the failure
of the negotiations, alleging that it
will lead to the consummation of
their pet scheme of confederation
of all the provinces. Messrs. Calf

PLANTING SEAsoN.-The day of
preparation for planting is at hand.
Everybody seems busy, and have
gone to work with new impulse and
big expectations as to the enormous
profits expected to be realized from
the growth Of cotton. Corn is not
spoken of-not in the programme.
In fact, from present indications, it
seems that no grain beyond the actual
wants of the producer will be calcu-
lated on in this section. With tax
OF five cents per pound on the raw
cotton, assessed by the United States
Government, beside heavy tax by
the State, we think the man sensible
who pays some attention to the cul-
ture of large grain crop. Wheat is
represented as looking better than for
several years past. Ledqer.
