The Canada Pacific Contract.

The Montreal Herald of the 18th gives
the following recapitulation of the con-
tract:
The company are to build and equip the line
from the terminus of the Canada Central to q
junction with the Thunder Bay branch now
under construction. Say about six hundred
and fifty miles.
Also from Winnipeg to Lake Kamloops, in
the Rocky Mountains, where the Onderdonk
contract commences. Say abont thirteen
hundred and fifty miles; the two sections be-
ing altogether about two thousand miles
long, all of which is TO be completed. in ten
years from the 1st of May next.
They are to commence both sections next
year, the first on the first of July, and the Sec
Ond on the first of May next.
The standard Is TO be that of the Union. Pa
ciiic railroad as constructed.
They are to equip the running sections of
the railway, and to own the entire railway for
ever.
As security for the construction and equip
ment they are to pay into the hands of the
government at once, the sum of $1,000, 900;
the contractors are to pay up 81, ,500,0 900 more
between now and the 1st of May next; and
$2,500,000 more between then and the end of
1882; the cash contribution of the contract tors
being thus $1,000, 900 within two years from
the expected ratification of the contract of
Wmch sum Sl,Voo,Vools is deposited with the
government.
AS security for the operation of the road for
ten years after its completion, five million
acres of the land grant remains in the hands of
the government; or if bonds to the extent of
one dollar per acre specially secured on the
lands, are Issued, the government receives for
the same purpose five million dollars in those
bonds.
This, therefore, is the substance of the
compnay's undertaking. To buili and equip
miles more constructed by the government,
and to operate the whole 2,7O0 miles in per-
petuity. 1t gives direct security of 81 000, 200

ing. There are good many who feel strong
at present prices, but the visible supply
frightens them. This, together with other
arguments pro and con, makes a very lively
market of the fits and start kind. It requires
nerve to trade under such circumstances, and
those who have not got cool head get beauti-

the close was trifle above better.
Observation-Disclosures and rather more active
The market is so lively on everything that it
has not assumed much of the holiday charac-
ter generally shown at this time of the year.
The explanation of this is that we have large
quantity of everything to spare
and such can not be moved in
an even stream; therefore, of neces-
sity we must have frequent and wide fiuctua-
tions. If the market is left to itself and not
taken hold of by big guns, we shall not, until
spring speculation on crop pros
poets sets in have either very
low nor extreme high prices, and the man
who after big break as we have just had
goes in and buys and sticks TO it, cannot lose

Our EGpOrtS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--The annual re-
port of Joseph Nimmo, Jr., chief of bu-
reau of statistics on foreign commerce of
the United States, is completed in regard
TO our export trade. Nirnmo SAYS, the
five leading articles exported during the
year were as follows: Bread and bread
stuffs, S2ss, ,036, ,s35; cotton (unmanufac-
tured) $211 ,535 ,905; provisions, s127, 7,043,
242 mineral oils, s34, LIS, 1925; tobacco and
manufactures thereof, sls,442 ,273.
The United States, he says, al
ready surpasses every other coun-
try in the magnitude of its ex-
ports Of both breadstuffs and provisions,
and it is maintained that the market for
American breadstuffs and provisions in
Europe can be still further extended. The
united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land stands first among the importing
countries with respect to value of imports
both on breadstuffS and provisions. Ia
bles are presented showing the following
commodities imported into Great Britain
and Ireland. The percentage imported
from the United States was as follows:
Wheat, 6S per cent; indian corn, 80 per
cent; live animals Al per cent; beef,
salted, 80 per cent; beef, fresh or slightly
Sdlt6u, 20 per CtHt.i buIlcE, IL per cent,
cheese, 641a per cent; bacon, 81 per
cent; hams, 9S per cent; lard, 96 per
cent; meat, preserved otherwise than
salted, II per cent; pork, salted, 81 per
cent.
The report says during the last ten
years competition of American breadstuffs
and provisions in British markets has
greatly reduced the price of these COM
modities, and consequently profits of them
in the United Kingdom. Apprehensions
have been awakened as TO the ultimate
effect of this competition upon the agri-
cultural interests of the latter country
The question is, in a political and
economic sense, very large one, since it
embraces, not only the interests of British
farmers, but also rates Of wages paid to
farmer laborerS, the value of lands de-
voted to agricultural purposes and revc-
nue. derived therefrom by British land
owners. The growth of expectation of
breadstuffs from the United States has
also led to serious apprehensionS in COM
peting grain producing countries in which
inferior methods of agriculture prevail
and facilities for handling and transport.

merce are less advanced than in this

A Judge Rebels Against Sharp Practice

Judge Rebels Against Sharp Practice.
ST. LOUIS, December 16.-Charles
Kring, the murderer, has been
tried three times for killing Dora Bro
menser about five years ago. A few days
since, his attorneys, James & Seward asked
that the jurors for the fourth trial should
be summoned from st. Louis county in
stead of the city. This was granted by
Judge Laughlin Of the criminal court
yesterdays When the court opened 800
men from the country were present, ready
for jury services Kring's attorney then
challenged the array Of jurors on the
ground that they did not reside in the
city of ST. Louis, and were illegally sum-
moned from outside the jurisdiction of
the court. They also applied for change
of venue and the appointment of o spec
ial judge to decide the application for a
change or to try the case. This reused
the ire of Judge Laughlin, and to-day he
issued an order citing jurors and Seward
to appear before him Monday, to show
why they should not be debarred for tri-
fling with the process of the court. The
case excites comments both in and out
side Of the profession.

Senator Teller approved the purpose of the
bill but thought the South would get the most
benefit, because there was the greatest amount
of ignorance there.
Senator Pugh read an elaborate speech in
support of the bill. He said:
Sectionalism is in its present existence
founded upon distrust of the white people o.
the South by a majority of the white people Of
the North, and the fear of the white people O.
the South of repressive and aggressive legisla

distrust and fear are chargeable mainly to ig

The TELEGRAPH War.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-President Green, of
the Western Union Telegraph company, gave
the following information this afternoon:
Yesterday our trustees redu ced rates to al
competing points with the American Union
company, numbering in all about 460. The
average reduction in Is per cent, although to
some points it is 40 per cent. To Others no
reduction at all is necessary, the rates being
equal in both companies. The sum of it
is that the Western Union
company intends to do business as cheap]y as
the American Union, come what may. When
asked regarding consolidation of the two COM
panies the doctor said l don't know as to
that. Whenever Mr.. Gould finds it to his in
terest to have the companies come to an un-
dcrstanding something in the way of COM

bic corporations are not going to carry on q

An informal caucus of Greenback members
of the House of Representatives was held yes
terday. The main object of the meeting was
to devise methods for extending their party or
ganization throughout the country and to de-
eide upon plan of united action in opposition
to the pending funding bill. The line of ac-
ton to be pursued in regard to other measures
now pending before the House of Representa-
tives, which they may endeavor to bring be-
fore it, such as Interstate commerce, national
banks question, and unlimited coinage of silver,
were also considered. No definite action was
reached, and the caucus adjourned after au-
thorizing Gen. Weaver to call another meeting,
which will probably be held in few days.

1t receives from the government S25, 100000
and 25, 900 900 acres of land, which are pal d
1t as the work proceeds; on scale purporting
to be graduated, in some proportion to the
comparative difficulty of the several sections
of the work. II also receives the Thunder Bay
Branch when completed, but without rolling
stock; the Pembina Branch and the portion be-
tween Kamloops and Port Noodle.
The. rails, ETC., required in construction are
freed from duty, and the railway from taxation
in SO far as it passes through the Northwest
territories, and the lands granted in the terri
tories are exempted from taxation, while they
remain unsold, but with q limit in any case of
twenty years.
These are the relative understandings of the
government and the company, but there are
some details which are of almost equal i'm
portancc The mode of selection of the
lands is one Of these, and that is
provided for by the company receiving each
alternate section Of $40 acres along the line;
the government retaining the other sections
except, of course, the allotment of one sec
tion in each township for educational pur-
poses, and one for the Hudson Bay company.
This, however, will probably not give the COM
pany more than half the quantity granted;and
the remainder is to be received in like alternate
sections along the line of branch railways,
laid out through the Territory or along
base lines to be agreed upon. There is also a
provision for grants of blocks Of land as one
of the means of supplementing the quantity,
such blocks to be agreed upon between the
government and the company
Another important condition is that lines
by other companies on the south side Of the
railway are to run to the southwestward only
and are not to approach the frontier nearer
than fifteen miles, in accordance with the pol
icy stated in the railway committee last ses-
sion.
1t requires an act of parliament to rati-
fy the above contract and also to grant
the new company special charter, and it
is this proposed legislation which is pro.
voking the current debate at Ottawa.

Cork county for the year 1881, and the
reply. The reply states the person de-
clines the appointment owing to the state
of the country and because his rental is
SO diminished he can't afford the expense
of the office, adding that the government
having allowed the country to verge on a
state of anarchy and rebellion the re
sponsibilities and dangers of Office are
moro than he is willing to incur.

tics have collected camp requisites at con-

ence by the land league and their sympa-
