THIS is DiSCOURAGlNG.
Tn. Northwest Canadian Wheat Crops are q
Dismal faiIurh.

New York. Aug. 1S.-A special from
Quebec says: The crop outlook in the
Canadian northwest is dismal. Mani
toba is on the eve of her harvesting
season. but there is an alarming con-
trast between her wheat fields year
ago and today For weeks after the
harvest season of 1895 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was taxed beyond its
powers to carry out the great crop. FL
year there will be very little if any
wheat to go East for export
The weekly reports issued by the
railways traversing the province are
purposely misleading. The Canadian
Pacific Railway is anxious to conceal
from its shareholders and others the
losses which it will sustain by the fail
ure of the northwest crops. Last year
the wheat yield of Manitoba alone Was
in round figures 80, 1000, 600 bushels an
average yield per acre of about ~
bushels. The area soWn in Manitoba
and the northwest this year was only
10 per cent of that of 1895. Farmers
were kept 50 busy last autumn gettir g
in and shipping their large crops that
they did very little fall ploughing 9.
Much Of the sowing was done on stub
bic land, and this has turned out an
almost total failure. In addition to
this the lightning and hailstorm of
Sunday, August >, caused widespread
damage. In some portions Of south
ern Manitoba the sweep of the storm
was 80 miles in width. and it devasted
everything in it's path.
Careful estimates by local newspaper
men and the agents of Eastern milers
and others place the total yield of the
northwestern wheat fields, this year at
only 60 per cent. of the crop Of 1895 A
large part of this years crop will also
be of very low grade, rust having
caused considerable damage. The poor
yield this year means black eye for
the Canadian Pacific Railway as well
as for the Canadian northwest.

Canada Will Allow No More Silver Certificates

New York. Aug. 1S.-A special from

that Canada people are afraid to ac-
cept American silver because they fear
they cannot again place it on the mar

The movement against American sill
Yer is about three months Old, but dur
ing the last two weeks the banks have
decided not to accept even bills. except
a 10 per cent. discount, The first to
take decisive steps was the Bakers
Association of Montreal. which dis
cussed the question at length and sent
a delegation to interview the minister
of finance at ottawa and get his
opinion. The election fight was on.
however. and he put them off. Short
ly after this the bank of Montreal re-
fused absolutely to take the American
coin. This was about three months
ago. \ month later the Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific railways came
out with a similar announcement, and
two weeks ago the Montreal Street
Railway company which had daily

and not a dollars worth of United

banks and large corporations have
caused a mild panic among those who

with this exception, the city has shut
out the coin most effectively.
The board of trade of almost every
little town. particularly in eastern
Canada, has followed the lead of St
lIyacinthe. and resolutions exceeding
~ strong in their condemnation of the
silver issue at the coming American
presidential election are quite common,
these being followed by the words:
And it is, therefore, in the interest of
the Canadian people that we declare
against American silver, and urge upon
all the necessity of absolutely refusing
to accept it in payment in place of
sound money"
To sum the matter up in Montreal
the bankers have as much Canadian
silver as they can handle, to say moth
ing Of the American. and it was for
their interest to keep the latter from
the country. They have succeeded to
degree that was never thought to
have been possible.
