The importations Of maize were 80, 95S, 1926
cwts., Of which upwards of 50 per cent. came
from this country. Canadian exports of
grain are included in those of this country,
as they are produced in the United States.
1t will be seen that the countries that will be
embraced by the war about to begin-Rus-
sia and Turkey-have furnished 1926 per
cent. of the supplies to England. In India
dearth prevails this year. Egypt, being
subject to the suzerainty Of the Porte, will
be affected by the war, and whether the war
is localized or whether it draws into it other
European powers, it is evident that the de-
mand for American breadstuffs will be in
creased in the neighborhood of rs per cent.
in case Of the cutting off OF the Russian and
Turkish supplies from market by pro-
longed war. Italy imports very largely from
Odessa, OH the Black Sea, and war will also
create an active demand for our breadstuffs
in Mediterranean ports.

feet Of previous European wars upon the
English market. At the time of the war
between Turkey and Russia in 1928 and
1929, England as rule did not require very
great foreign supplies, her own production
being very nearly sufficient for her wants.
But it so happened that the harvests were
deficient in those years, and the price adj
vanced from an average Of SIS. Cd. per quar-
ter in 1927 to COS. sd. per quarter in 1928,
66s. Sd. in 1929, when the Russian General
Diebietsh made his victorious march into the
heart Of Turkey. The price did not come
down until 1882, when the average price
was again SIS. Sd. per quarter.
The war between Russia and Turkey, in
which England and France eventually par
ticipated, began in the fall of 1858. En-
gland and France declared war March 81
and %. 1854. Hostilities terminated Feb
ruary 20, 1856. The following table gives
the imports Of wheat for home consumption
by England, and the average price during a

generally regarded as the first oimechan-
ical engineers in his country, il not in
Europe, and man also Of broad accom-
plishments and excellent judgment in
other branches of industry and art, has
Just published in book form series OF
letters upon the industrial position Of the
United States, written during visit to
the Centennial Exposition last year, in
which hs says the wealth Of our country

respects the very first" In tOol-making,
especially, they ''cairy away the palm,
not only at the Exhibition, but seemingly
everywhere" To this complimentary
summing up Professor Reuleaux joins in
enumeration of the specific excellence
which distinguish American tools, which
have got far beyond German products in
this iise, and have even 'hurled the
Epgiish out Of the ssddls.r In this con
nsetion, particular reference is niade to

is the final problem. Science has led US
into the domain of metaphysics, and we
have been prepared fer the affirmative

But when the old woman came to the
conclusion that matters had better come
to a crisis she opened the window above

their devoted heads, and they thought
they had encountered old Neptune.
She simply remarked to them as they
started tor the gate; Here, come back !

clerk retorted uranus of, and I'll be

heels, and silence reigned once more.

The reputation it has attained, in
consequence Of the marvellous cures it
has produced during the last half CEN
fury, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happicSt results that can be desired.
In almost every section Of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it ac-
knowledge its superiority; and where
Its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to re-
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CHERRY Pee
TORAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rietics of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases Of the
Lungs.
As safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mnltitudcs are rescued and restored to
health.
ms medicine gains friends at
every trial, rs the cures It is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family shoAd be with
out 1t, and those who have once used
1t never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend 1t from their knowl
edge Of Its effects.
