STOCKS-SpeculRtion was very dull to-
day and the volume of business was light
er than on any day for weeks past, but the
tone of the market was firm ana the trad
ing was distributed more generally through
the list than usual. London was buyer
OF most of the arbitrage stocks. American
securities were in better demand
on the London Exchange and
there was general air OF
improvement. The better tone was due
perhaps entirely TO the statement made
through the newspapers this mornlng by
President Cleveland as 10 the condition OF
the national finances. The confident man
ner in which the President spoke Of the
affairs of the Treasury Department
seemed to have the effect at
home and abroad Of stimulating -pur-
chases Of American securities and in
this market it induced the covering OF
short contracts. St. Paul led in point OF
activity, and shows a substantial gain for
the day. Burlington and Rock Island
were also active and higher. Considerable

INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION.
How the Cessation of Railroad Build
ing Contributed to 1t.
From the Irrigation Age.l

From the Irrigation Age.
In recent communication TO the Los
Angeles Times that brilliant Californian,
William II. Mills, accounted for the army
of unemployed in the West, and for the
general industrial depression of which
they are product, by calling attention
to the cessation of railroad building. We
have not the figures at hand, but be
showed what enormous energies were
utilized during the two decades from 1870
to 1890 in this work. The number of
miles of railroads constructed, and of
men and capital employed in the work,
presented an astounding aggregate. The
almost total cessation of these tremen-
dous activities would account in large
is interesting to reflect that nearly all the
properties built during this period in the
West are now in the hands OF receivers.
The prevailing view of the railroad
business is very dark. and yet those who
know the capabilities of the country
traversed by these railroad lines appre-
ciate the fact that the difference between
bankruptcy and reasonable degree Of
prosperity is not very wide after ALL The
fact is that money and labor have been
almost recklessly employed in making
means of transportation. How would it
do to adopt the policy of making some-
thing to transport? A high official of the
Union Pacific Railroad recently said to
the writer that he considered every new
family upon his line to be worth, in pas
senger and freight traffic. counting what
they shipped out and in, an average of
$3.50 a year. This railroad man has
very lively appreciation of the fact that a
few tens of thousands of families, prop
erIy distributed, would transform the
most hopeless railroad property of to-
day into solvent, profitable enterprise.

land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12o, l60 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They wilpbe sold IN
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, sat which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instailmentS, with in-
terest at the rate of ? per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as

A DECISION
Against the Petition TO Disai'ow Act Abolish
ing Separate Schools in Manitoba.

MONTREAL, Oct. 3l.-Pre mier Greenway
and lis government have given a decision
on the separate school question, and the
Roman Catholics of Manitoba need no
longer look to that source for relief. The
decision is in answer to a memorial from
Roman Catholics asking the government to
disallow the act abolishing separate schools
in The province. The answer recites obs
allowance of the act of 1894, as suggested
by the memorialists, would be a most I'M
justitiable attempt to prevent the Legisla-
ture from performing that duty judicially
declared to appert.in to it, and it may be
assumed such disallowance would call forth
an emphatic protest. The government and
legislative ass 'mbly would unitedly resist
by every constitutional means any such at
tempt to interfere With their provincial
autonomy"
