The Dominion Board of Trade.

The sixth annual meeting of the Dominion
board OF trade was held in the railroad
committee rooms in the house of COM

his address dwelt upon the canal system, and
said that upon the best solution of the subject
and in the perfection of the system would de-
pend whether the cereal surplus of the West
shall seek the seaboard through the st. Law
renee or by the railroads and waterways Of
the States. He urged the building of the Bale
Vert canal at an early day, regretted that he
was nos able to congratulate the board on the
financial position of the country, advised mod
Grafton in public and privatei undertakings,
welcomed the delegates from the national
board of trade of the United States, and said
our relations with that board had always been
very cordial and pleasing in the discussion OF
questions affecting trade between the two
countries. The speaker probably referred to
matters of which complaint mag be made.
He earnestly requested that such reference
be made in frank and generous spirit.

The subject of winter navigation on the st.

lie brought up; but the scheme will be aban-

increased insurance will counterbalance any
good effect. Motions for government inspec-
tion of chartered banks, and for inspection of
certain kinds of produce, Were voted down.
