money, for her TO find Thomas. He is an

review OF trade says: While the hesitation
In business has not ceased. and decided

be a matter OF surprise and cong ratulation
that the money markets and trade have
been so well sustained I'm spite OF heavy
exports OF gold. The New York money
market has been easy, rates on call drop-
ping 81 to 3 per cent. with heavy receipts
from the interior. Wool moves slowly but

In breadstuffs the decline continues. and
wheat is 22c. lower; corn. &c: oats, 1bSc.
ana cotton also declines 3-t6c. Pork prod
ucts are lower, and coffee about &c, while
tin. co per and lead are all stonger. In
general the approach OF n harvest which T.
expected to be most bountiful has its natu-
raj effect on prices, and trade Is but little
embarrassed by speculative movements

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Times this morn

can pretend that Mr.. Balfour has not

Salisbury had no more power TO lift his
nephew, unless the party desired il, than
Mr.. Gladstone had Co make either of his
sons Chancellor of the Exchecquer.
The Standard says the selection Of Mr..
Balfour is n bitter pill for the opposition,
who are disappointed in their long hope OF
n rupture in the Unionist ranks. The
self-abnegation of the dissentients shows
that are still strong for the great struggle.

thin, with one of those gray transparent
faces that somehow recall eggshell china.

that crawl sleepily out from the great city

The gray woman's eye dwelt thirstily
upon them. BY and by she began To sing
not loud, indeed hardly above her
breath; so low, in fact, that the cars
creaking drowned it-then fell away:
She'd a rose in her bonnet,
And oh she looked sweet
As the little pink flower
That grows in the wheat.
The car groaned and bumped over rail
way crossing and ratified over n stony
block. Still her lips moved lightly:
The ferryman's tall and the ferryman's young.
And he's just soft twang in the turn Of his
And he's fresh as pippin and brown as a
And swiftly he'll row you to Twickenham
town.

ballad on her lips trembled into silence
A minute later there came from them:
ON the other side of Jordan,
In the bright fields of Eden.
Where the tree of life is blooming.
There is rest
The singing stopped suddenly - there
was "a catch i'm the singers throat She
looked out of the window steadily for at
least ten blocks. Then unconsciously IL
seemed. she began again, while we crept
past a high stone wall all aflaunt with
asters:
Oh, could you see them through torrent and

Each sportsman right gallant his rivaled race
take,
T'wuuld have pleased beauty's ear to have
heard echoes wake
To the hunters horn--the hunters horn-the
hunters horn in the morning.

crowded in, and the singer sang no more.

colony who have been accustomed to re-
gard our Judges AZ men debarrcd by their
position from expressing their views in
public on the leading questions, political
and economical, it seems odd to find the
leading Judge in a n~eighb0uring colony en-
%deavOuring to lead publ ic men ilnI ques-
tion of Customs tariff, by a letter to the
newspaper press. But although. it seems
odd, we can find nothing to condemn in it;
ON the contrary we think our neighbours
are fortunate in having. the opportunity,
now and again IF getting the views and opin.
ions oil one of the foremost men of intellect in

pressiODs of public opinion in this colony
