Forty-twO days elapsed between the shipment Of
Mr.. Curts's from Port Perry and the receipt Of
the money from the conslgnee in Leadenhall Market,
that the fractional profit was more than eaten mp
by interest Beans grow well in Western ontario and
shipped to Detroit and Chicago There is no other
market available. for Britain draws her supply from
Egypt. Portugal and Morocco. which underscll the
farmer here, who is therefore Obliged to accept the
Detroit price minus the Mckinley dnty Of 40 cents

days since who failed To get his crop OF 5000 bushels
across the line prior TO october last year. This
cost him Sc, 200, SUN which, he said. woud have
gone long way TO lift his mortgage. The bean acreage
has greatly fallen off, Hay was O short crop in
ontario this season. but there good yield in
Quebec. The free habtant is staggered, however, by
the Mckinley duty OF "a per ton, which efectually
prevents him from sending his surplus to New Eng
land In old times. In the fiscal year 16S91990 he
sent nearly 100000 worth to the States but he is
shipping to Ontario. After paying the rail charge the
cost OF balng and the local shippers profits he
nets 81 rs per ton for his labor and capital. The
habitants took to growing hay for the United States
partly because their land not fit for much else
being exhausted by their crude methods, and partly
to evade the ecclesiastical 1.-THE cereals This
tithe which is coectabe by law and forms the first
charge the soil, is not tenth, but twenty sixth
part Of the cereal The production Of hay enabled
them to beat the cure, but Mr. Mckinley has spoiled
the game. The Canadian horse trade with the United

being deducted from the price paid TO the farmer.
The introduction Of electric power the street rail
ways in States has likewise curtailed the business.
The effect Of the Mckinley duty on Canadian dressed
poultry going to Boston and NewYorlS eagerly
watched by the farmers last winter 1T was found that
the price obanable by the farmers at the large poultry
fairs in this section of the country exactly cents
per pound-the amount OF the duty less than that
received by the farmers the other side of the st.
Lawrence. The American buyers adjust their price
for the United States according to supply and demand,
and then give the Canada farmer the option OF paying
the duty or not selling OF all IN like manner, the
principal wooldealer in Canada, Mr.. Haam of
Toronto, issued circular to his agents last spring in
structing them TO pay the Ontario farmer who raises
good combng wool, inst so much less than before
because Of the increase in the duty Mr. Hallam ships
wool to Philadelphia, Cleveland and NewEngland
points, and his invoices show that the grower here gets
IL cents per pound below the price paid to the
American grower
Writing to 1.-THE Toronto Globe" Huron County
(Ontario) farmer says: Everybody knows how hard
up the farmers Of Canada are, since the Mckinley
bill has cut down the profit beans barley and hay,
horses, cattle and lambs poultry and eggs and
of other articles whose best market heretofore has been
found in the United States. Everybody knows that,
and everybody too knows how disappointing have been
the hopes raised by Mr. CARING OF the farmers losses
being made good through the export of eggs and two
rowed barley to England. Mr.. CARING might be ex-
cused for trying TO begue for he Ind the interests
OF his political party to defend and serve" lie goes
on to show the poor result Of shipment OF lambs to
the British market. Ninety picked lambs were pre-
pared at the Government model farm at Guelph.
Landed at Liverpool they had cost Sl123, yet $.10s,
which includes the value Of the WOOL was all they sold
for. The British market, under the most favorable
circumstances is merely secondbest market for much
that the Canadian farmer raises. The samc issue OF
The Globe" contains dispatch from Waterloo County
stating that the farmers feeding their potatoes to
cattle being unable to pay the United States duty OF
o5 cents per busbe and sell them at profit there
The spondent adds: "Qute number of farmers
