THE DOMINION.
GREAT DEPRECIATION OF PUBLIC
SECURITIES.
Alarming Depression Of Labor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Our Consul at Que
bee says five and half millions of capital have
been wholly wiped out by the failure of the
Consolidated the Exchange and Vile Marie
banks, besides the loss to the depositors and
bill holders of about half million The Con-
sui transmits list of quotations of stock OF
eleven Canadian banks in September, 1878, and
in August, 1879, which shows depreciation OF
more than one-third The entire depreciation
within the last twelve months in stocks dealt
in at the Canadian exchanges is estimated at
$3.50, 900, 900, and the bottom has not yet been
reached. The protection policy recently in
augurated has decreased the revenue and in
creased the cost of living. The opinion is fast
gaining ground that the productions of the
Dominion are limited and of such character as
not to be benefited by protection, but worse
than all is the condition of the working classes
in Quebec. During the past winter there was
scarcely any employment. The few who la
bored on the "Dufferin terrace" received from
40 to 60 cents per day, being mostly carpenters.
The present wages paid in the new government
building are from 80 TO so cents, and on harbOr
improvements frolh 70 cents to ST., many OF
these employees being skilled mechanics. 1t is
estimated that not less than 1000 workingmen
are out of employment in Quebec and suburbs.
The controversies about the distribution of the
small amount of work to be done eliminated
in the riot of the 18th inst The Consul says
it is entirely question of bread, and as re-
preston does not feed the hungry the situation
is anything but agreeable.

Interesting and Important Explorations

Interesting and Important Explorations
in the White Mountains.
LrrTLEToN, Aug. 22.-The White Mountain
Echo tomorrow will contain an account of an
exploration of the New Zealand notch between
the White and Franconia ranges. The route
taken by the exploring party was up New Zea--
land river past New Zealand pond. Several
new features are announced, the most impor-
tant being the practicability of the route for a
railroad from Saco river to the Ammonoosuc
via Sawyer's river and New Zealand notch. A
natural road bed runs through the latter twen-
ty-five or thirty feet wide. The scenery along
the whole course is grand and beautiful.
While on the way to New Zealand pond the
party came to comparatively unknown fall,
triple in character, which they named ''Hast-
ings' Falls" They are said to be quite pic.
turesque, and within half a days journey OF
the Twin Mountain House. The exploration
of this notch was an undertaking difficult and
arduous in the extreme. 1t opens up a new
district to the attention of capitalists, particu-
larly as the region contains the finest timber in
the country.
