CANADa's BICYCLE TRADE.
Over $1,000 Wheels Bought From the
United States.

James NJ. Shepard, United States consul
at Hamilton Ontario, has written to the
State Department in regard to the bicycle
trade in Canada. From the tables Of the
trade and navigation of the dominica of
Canada for the year ended June 30. 1898.
recently ISSUED. may be gathered some
data Of interest to the manufacturers of BIZ
cycles in the United States. The total
number of bicycles sold in Canada during
the year is estimated at $4,000. of which
2I.262 were imported from the United
States and 4e from Great Britain. In sddi-
ton to this large importation of comp ct q
machines the value of bicycle parts i'm
ported was S219, 152 (of which the United
States furnished S271.l75), which is held 10
represent 12,oO complete machines at ST
each. In round numbers the total OF i'm
ported bicycles sold, complete O.. in parts,
was 10000, averaging In cost So %. on
which duty of 30 per cent was assessed
and It92S9 collected, while on bicycle
parts the duty collected was SS3.53
In 1897 the importation of completed hi
cycles was -, 55s, or 1850, less than in Is.,S
The average cost in 1897 was 81. 10. against
81. 20 in 1898, and the dlfy nar machine
S9.t2, against $3.50.
These figures show that as the American
manufacturer decreases the cost the de-
mand increases.
Turing the year ended June 80. 1895
1851 bicycles were manufactures in
Canada, of which only about Ioun were
soiu at home While the United States was
encroaching on this market Canadian
manufacturers were reaching out for the
trade in foreign countries, and sold S6lT
bicycles for 1913, 1888, Australia taking ) 2s,
Germany LII, Great Britain GIG. France
$50 and the United States 3o7, as their larg-
est customers.
The prices seem to have been varied for
each country, as follows: Great Britain and
Australia, about SAG; France about Sal,
United States, about $35; Germany, about
$50.
The indications point TO the early oreani-
cation of trust among the bicycle manu-
facturers in Canada. Several wealthy CAPT
taiists of Ontario are interested and il is
thought that such an organization would
result i'll closing the small factories and
concentrating the manufacture at Hamii-
ton and Toronto. The proposed capital is
placed at S3,Go0.000 of which s2,o00ooo S to
be taken in preferred stock at per cent.

An Iron Foundry at Sea.
ON the Engineering Magazlu


A foundry at sea had not been heard of
before the cruise OF the Vulcan. Whatever
other kinds of naval repair work had been
executed heretofore on board ship, that OF
making large brass and iron castings had
not been attempted. In her facilities for
his new line of work the Vulcan stands
pre-eminent and alone. That the unique
equipmentfor foundy work was successful is
more than shown by the fact thar thousands
of pounds Of iron and brass castings We're
made and finished for the ships of the fleet
The brass furnaces were kept in almost
constant service, sometimes running off two
heats day, and making il necessary to
carry the work far into the night much TO
the discomfort of the men, who were trying
to get some sleep and rest before another
day 5 work. In iron casting not more than one
heat was run OFF in day and that usually
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. For after
filling the molds and dropping bottom IL
was practically impossible TO do much more
in that part of the ship till the next morn
ing. kipling has sung for the Scotch eng1-
neer and stoker. but there was no heaven
born genius on board the Vulcan to treas
ure Up the memories and scenes incident to
dropping bottom. The usual iuxuries OF
such work ashore were entirely missing.
Like the fiery furnace of old. the heat
seemed seven times more intense than il
was wont to be ashore

LATE Reforms FAVOR TAYLOR
Official and Unofficial Reports of the
Vote in Kentucky Counties Show
GOcbeI is Defeated.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 11.-Reports have
been received by the Commercial from Ill
Of the 119 counties giving the official count.
These give Goebel pluralities of 1879 and
Taylor pluraitee of 13,435; Goebel's net
plurality, 3,734.
The eight unreported counties are: Rowan,
Jefferson, Knox and Harrison, in which the
canvassing boards have adjourned until
Monday, and Johnson Menefee, Cumberland
and Letcher which have not sent in the
count. The unofficial count received by the
Commercial of these counties gives Taylor
pluralities OF 6,G56 and Goebel pluralites
OF 1902; Taylor's net plurality, 1924. De-
ducting from this Goebel's plurality OF 3,734
in the Ill counties leaves Taylor plurality
in the whole state Of 1880.
The democratic unofficial returns from the
eight unreported counties show net Tay-
lor plurality of 1852. Using these figures
with the Commercials OF the plurality Of
1884 from Ill counties still leaves Taylor a
plurality of 1,21S.
The COurier-Journal at midnight figures
out a plurality of 155 for Goebel. This is
based on official reports from ninety eight
counties and unofficial from the remaining
twenty-one. The county commissioners of
Nelson, according to the Courier r-Journal,
have thrown out l,l9S votes cast for W. p.
Taylor instead OF w. S. Taylor.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-(New York World

by the present tory government to erect
statue of Cromwell within the precincts OF

mons for a small vote of money to erect at
Westminster this statue, the work of Ham

DlSGUSTED WITH SALISBURY
lingo Press Does Not Like the Prime

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coo
LONDON, Nov. 11.-tNew York World
Cablegram-Special Tclegram)-The lingo
press is profoundly disgusted at Prime Min
lister Salebury's declaration in his Guildhall
speech that 1--WE seek no goldhelds; we seek
no territory"
The Daily Chronicle, which is displaying
the highest courage in criticising the war
and the policy on which 1t is based, in the
face of the still fierce, though noticeably
decreasing lingo passion. nailed this phrase
as constituting an absolute pledge against
annexation.
Every lingo paper with more or less neat
has repudlated this Interpretation OF LORD
Salsbury's words and has pronounced an
nexation and appropriation of the goldfelds
as an inevitable result of the war. They
point to the passage in the queens speech
at the rising of Parliament in which she re-
ferred to the Dutch republic as My empire
and they argue that Lord Salisbury would
be stultifying the queens government If he
spoke of annexng territory already declared
a part of the British empire.
