IN GENERAL

Isaac Gauthier, 4 Montreal, Que, ci.
gar-maker, .l3 years old, emptied five
chambers of his revolver into n beautiful
young girl to whom he was engaged to be
married, Celina Consigny, also % years
old, killing her. Gauthier, after his ar
rest, said lie bought the revolver for the
express purpose of killing his sweetheart.
He also, he said, intended to take his life,
had he not used all the bullets III the re-
volver in killing the girl. 1t appears that
he is dying of consumption.
The forthcoming review by the geolog
ical survey of the mineral resources of the
country will show that the production of
aluminium in the United States in 1894
was $4,000 pounds. The imports were
valued at $4,110. BauXile, which is an
oxide of aluminium. has been found in
sufficient quantities to be commercially
valuable i'll only three localities in the
United States. These are New Mexico,
Arkansas and the CoOsa Valley of Geor-
gia and Alabama. Aluminium, the review
will say. has now found the position in
the arts predicted for it. and the demand
is increasing. Its metallurgical use has
proved more valuable than was expected.

trade says: There is Il perceptible halt
which may deceive if attributed to wrong
causes. Trade two months late in the
spring pushed forward into July large
share of business belonging to April or
May. Seeing Il rush of orders out of
time, many imagined it would continue,
and hurried TO give other orders. The
jam of two months business into one
lifted prices. Then other orders came to
anticipate further rise But the mid
summer halt was inevitable and it is yet
somewhat uncertain how much improve
ment will appear after it, The crop of
corn promises to be the largest ever grown,
and is almost out of harms way The crop
of wheat appears perhaps 20,OOOOO0
bushels less than was expected a month
ago. and had the best hopes been realized
it would have been more than 1O0,O00OOO
bushels short of full crop. Cotton has
lost a little. and more people seem 10 be-
lieve in 100000 bales than believed in
100000 Il month ago.
