TORONTO, Ont, March 2.-The Globe, in its
money article, says that severe contraction in
the money market of the Dominion he's been
going on a couple of weeks, and considerably
damaged commercial matters. A tighter time
for money has not been seen in Canada for
long while, and good deal of suffering and
alarm has been the natural consequence. 10
the unparalleled severity of the present wlnte
in Canada may no doubt be attributed in
large degree the sharp character of the present
money pressure. Large sections of country
have been blocked up with snow for weeks.
The roads are impossible. Railroads are kept
open with great difficulty and country traffic is
almost stopped. Vast stores of grain and ca tile
and other farm produce, which usually ind the
easiest way to market in the winter months,
are still in barns of farmers and warehouses OF
country dealers. The bank notes which the
sale of this produce usually circulates through
out the land are still in the vaults of the banks
and the want of foreign drafts which their sto-
rcge at shipping points usually secures has
caused serious inconvenience in monetary Cir
cles.
Foreign Notes.
A despatch from Alden announces that a
missing boats crew of eighteen persons, from
the steamer Hong Kong, which foundered in
