r. q. Dun 4 Co. say in their Review of
Trade: ut is Il belated season; n frozen
May set ever! ing back. The heavy
business which ought to have been done
in May and June was pushed into July,
so that the midsummer decline, due in
July, comes in August. With this in
mind, one is not surprised to find the
shrinkage from July TO August rather
more conspicuous than usual. The dis
appointing crop reports Saturday. though
evidently distrusted, lessen confidence in
regard to the future of trade, even while
some spectators gain by them. Back of
all doubts is the fact that the industries
are doing better than body could have
expected.
A question of great interest to Canada
was asked in the House of Commons by
Mr.. Price, who inquired if the Govern
ment was aware that the present eXclu-
sion of Canadian store cattle had caused
and was causing severe loss in some of
the agricultural districts, and whether
tne restriction can be removed. The
president of the Board of Agriculture.
Walter Long, replied, saying that as late
as July 10 cases of cattle suffering from
pleuro-pneumonia had been found among
i cargOeS coming from Canada, and the
| Government in consequence must MAIN
tain the restriction placed upon such cat

was communicating with the Government

England Needs Corn.

A London correspondent talked with
several leading experts at the Baltic EX-
change, the headquarters of the British
corn trade, on the prospects of the British
corn crop and the amount of American
corn likely TO be required. Some prom
inent brokers declared that the River
Platte holds the key to the situation, and
that reports from there promise very
large surplus crop of both maize and
wheat. The Danube district also reports
an immense crop. as against TN abnormal
ly small one last season. and The view
generally expressed was that. however
low the American prices may be, the Dan
ube will undcrsell them. The British crop
Is expected to be generally below the aver
age, but brokers' could not hazard an opin-
ion on the probable amount of American
corn that will be required. Last year the
imports of American corn were only %
bO9, 100 bushels. This year there ought
10 be four or five times as much.

barrow of material into the bell OF the
furnace. which he had forgotten to raise.
This clogged the top of the furnace AMI
prevented the gas escaping. A gang of

son, was sent at once to the top to remove
the obstruction. All were closely crowded
around the bell of the furnace removing
the material when there was terrific eN-
plosion and men, barrow. tools and mate

deadly gases and smoke belched from the
furnace-top, and then men fell as ii shot.
Only one man was killed instantly.
