Canadian Finances.

A report of the finances of the Cana
dian Government, read in Parliament
at Ottawa lately, shows a very curl.
Gus condition of the material affairs of
the Dominion. Exports of products
have, partly through lack of reciprocity
with the United States, been less than
during the former year but the in
crease of sic, ,oOO, 900 in the consumption
of imported goods, chiefly from Europe,
shows the general prevalence of thrift
throughout the Dominion. The ton.
mage of Canadian vessels has increased
largely, as might be expected from the
proximity of that country to a nation
whose policy forces her neigh bors to help
themselves to her carrying trade.
The deepest water in Lake Superior
and probably in the whole chain OF
lakes, is off Copper Harbor, Mich.
where soundings to the depth of 1000
feet have been made by the United
States coast survey.

William Fowler, member of Parliament for
Cambridge, addressing bis constituents, dwelt

leved the country, to man, had made up its
mind. If their American cousins wanted mo-
ney, they would have 10 come and take it.
The Times considers the situation to-day
more satisfactory. 1t denies that quarrel
was sprung because Mr.. Gladstone feared the
effect Of the IntrIgues of Mesers. DisraelI and
