age of twenty-eight days from Cape

food consisted of -four and coffee. There
was plenty of flour, but the water was
short. Four days ago the last unpalata-

wishes of the boards of trade, will not
be successful as the government re-
fuses to give its support. The last in
solvency act was repealed just 20 years
ago, and no measure to take its place
has ever proved acceptable to par ia
ment. The chief reason is the hostility
of the commercial bodies to the extern
sion Of the privileges of such an act
to the farmers and the present deter
mination of the members who repre-
sent country constituents to block any
bill which exempts the farmers from
its operations.
The banks are also unwilling to fore
go their preference and rank as other
creditors. Besides. the government is
not anxious to see such a measure on
the statute books for it would have to
deal at once with the accumulated
bankruptcies Of 20 years and the result
would be an abnormal apparent in
crease in failures, which would be used
politically to the disadvantage of the
government. The absence of such a
law is said to exercise a depressing
effect on the growth of trade between
Canada and the United States and
Great Britain, the British merchants
declining to give credits in the absence
of such law for the distribution of
assets
