CANUCKs ARE HARD UP.
The Condition of Business Far
From Satisfactory.

MONTREAL, P. O., April 25.-The
condition of general business through
out the dominion is not considered by
bankers to be at all satisfactory, and if
the crops this year should prove fail
ure the outlook will be gloomy. In fact,
it is we'll known that the Bank of Mon
treai, which is to Canada what the
Bank of England is to Great Britain, is
warning merchants to curtail their
imports. The bank statement for
March, just issued. is not salts
factory, showing further enlargement
of mercantile loans. In August, 1883,
the aggregate discounts of the banks
amounted to S157, 100000, including bills
taken against currency then put out for
the purchase of the harvest, while at
present these advances reach S177,000,-
COO, an increase of $2O, 100000, the great
er part of which may be attributed to
the pressure for credit and not to an
enlargement Of the commerce of the
country. In the same period the foreign
balances have been heavily drawn upon.
Over and above the exchange supplied
by the export trade, ETC., it has been
necessary since August, 1888, to draw
upon the foreign balances of the banks
to the extent of more than S15, ,0O0, 900, in
order to provide for remittances.

man with assault. The court room was
crowded with the partisans Of the two
factiOns-Esher and anti-Esher. Rev.
Mr.. Vetter, looking none the worse for
being thrown out of church, was the
first witness. Among others who testi-
fed were Attorney E. B. Esher, son of
Bishop Esher, and Sunday School Su-.

continued to Maya. From the line of
cross-examination adopted by the de-
fense it is evident that they will claim
