OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 2O.-Following
close upon the announcement that the
United States government intended to
abrogate the agreement entered into
with Great Britain in 1877, and place a
feet of gunboats upon the great lakes,
comes the report that at the request OF
the British government Lord Stanley
had demanded an immediate report upon
the defenses of the Dominion. The mill
tary authorities naturally attach some
interest as to what the urgency could be
that hurriedly called for this information
The request of Lord Salisbury was com.
municated through Lord Stanleyto Pre-
mier Abbott and the minister Of militia
promised to have report ready to be
forwarded to the British government at
once.
1t is stated in reliable quarters that
Premier Abbott holds in his hands the
resignation of every member of his cabi
net, his ministers having rendered their
portfolios to the premier in view of the
contemplate ed reconstruction OF his min
istry. While these designations have not
been accepted, it places Premier Abbott
in position to act freely when the time
for reconstruction arrives, as all he has
now to do is to accept any one of these
designations when he wishes to make
room for new blood in his government
This is following precedent set by the
colleagues of the late Sir John Macdon

The value of Our Surplus Grain
CrOD.

The latest and most reliable estimates
of the grain crop in the United States for
the year 1891 are sonnet hing as wonder
ful as they are pleasing. 1t is now as
serted that the wheat crop will reach
$50 ,000,0 900 bushels. The requirements
for home consumption are 360,000,000
This leaves for expectation 290,000,000
bushels.
The corn crop is estimated at 2,065,-
100000 bushels, the requirements for
home consumption of which are 700,
600, 900 bushels, leaving surplus OF
800 600, 900 bushels.
The yield of oats for the year is l50,'
600, 900 i'll excess Of the requirements for
home consumption.
The requirements for home consump-
ton of rye are 22OO0,0O0, while the
yield for the year is So, 100000.
In addition the production of barley is
10000 900 more than the requirement
| for home consumption.
The total number of bushels of grain Of
all kinds producedin the United States in
the year 1891 is $500, 100000.
The value OF the surplus grain in this
country, at New York, is estimated at
$539, 100000, being an increase oyer
1890 Of S491 100000
These figures are gathered from state
ment, just published by Henry Clews &
Co., of New York, and may be relied
upon as being as nearly correct as posi-,
bic. This shows a healthy state Of
affairs for this country. With more than
$500, 900, 900 worth of grain to ship to
people across the waters who want il
and must have it, it does not appear as
