Women to Find Good Husbands.
The mining camps OF Trail Creek and
Boundary Creek, British Columbia, where
there are ten men 20 one woman, want wives.
Steady work with good pay, with the fact
that British Columbia laws frown severely on
gambling and drinking, have made tho
miners prosperous.
The question Of getting wives was raised
recently as n Joke, but the outcome has been
TO thoroughly advertise the fact that large
number OF manageable girls can find good
husbands by smigratiDg to the mining dis
tricts of British Columbia.

got the newspapers 10 discussing 1t. He
told tho Canadians that IL they would sen3

show that already the girls are taking up the
matter seriously Tho miners are willing,
and the first lot OF would-oe wives will DO

REVIEW OF IRA DE.
Approach of the Election Caused u
Stampede I'm Business.


r. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade
for the past week is one that is not often
seen. 1t says business was about abolished
until after the election and the main feature
OF the week was the pressure in the New
York money market in spite Of tho heavy
arrivals Of gold. Quotations Of call loans at
a 100 per cent. or more had no real meaning
except that, with practically four holidays to
come In succession, there Is really no mar
ket. Wheat declined sharply but is rising again
The evidence Of great demand abroad grows
clearer, and while Western receipts are heavy

for the past four weeks, against 81, $50, 964
last year, the enormous milling returns are
of especial value, showing that foreign Or
ders are preparing n great quantity flour for
export. Cotton held up remarkably well, in
spite OF trade estimates that the yield would
be close to nine million bales. Tho trade be-
lieves such estimates are erroneous aad also
hopes that the present prices will not be
found too high, IL with such n crop there
should be good business in this and other
countries. The mills are selling staple goods
somewhat freely and print cloths are shade
higher, but there is neither much selling nor
much effort to buy goods OF other descrip-
ticns. Failures for tho week have been 30

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The section of foreign markets of the De-
partment OF Agriculture has issued its circu-
lLr, No. 10, on the course OF wheat produc-
ton and expectation in the United States,
Canada, Argentine, Uruguay, Russia and
Btitish India from 1880 TO 1895. 1t shows
the annual average production OF wheat by
Iuinquennial periods, and the very decided
increase in tho wheat productions of the
U0ited States, Canada, Argentine and Russia
during the last fifteen years. similar
growth would also be shown for Uruguay
were tho statistics available for the entire
period. India alone of the six countries has
suffered decline. The circular also pre-
sents a table containing tho annual average
exports of wheat and wheat flour, expressed
in bushels Of grain by quinquennial periods,
of the same countries, which indicates in I
striking manner the marvellous growth
which has occurred since 1880 in tho
volume Of wheat distributed by some OF
the principal wheat exporting countries.
The average yearly export OF wheat and
wheat flour from the United States increased
40 per cent. from 1880 to 1895; Russia made
nearly an equal gain; Canada, although
rathor unimportant when compared with the
United States and Russia, shows growth
which is proportionately even more rapid,
the average net shipment per annum having
trpled since 1881 'S5. But the wonderful
growth In expectation Is exhibited In ArSeD-
tine and Uruguay. From the average OF
1000 900 bushels in tho Quinquennium 1881
'S5, Argentinia's shipments increased to an
average OF nearly $4,000 900 in ISSl-'95, while
in the same period Uruguay's net exports per
annum advanced from about II 600 bushels
to moro than .000, 900 bushels. The total
quantity of wheat exported from the six
countries during the five year period. 1881
'S5, averaged 23S, ,0OO. 900 bushels and of the
five years lS91-'96. 352, 900 600 per annum. n
total gain OF Iii, ,O00, 900 bushels. Tables are
also given showing the wheat area, produc-
ton and expectation OF the six countries
from 1SS0-'96 in detail.
