CANALS DEEPENED.


The work of deepening the st. Law
renee canals, which has been going on
for many years, is now about COM
pleted, and ii is announced that by Sep
TENDER at the latest, there will be a
channel ii feet in depth from Lake On
tario to Montreal. Heretofore some of
the canals were only nine feet deep,
and for this reason the lake freight
steamers have had to transship at
Kingston. With the deeper channel,
they will be able TO come through di-
rect from Port Colborne, on Lake Erie,
the head of the Welland canal, to Mon
treal, and here transship their cargoes
To ocean-going steamships. Several
supplementary steps toward the build
ing up of this transportation route are
now TO be taken. The work is to begin
forthwith of dredging out the harbor
at Port Colborne, and extending this so
that the large freighters plying upon
the upper lake will be able to enter
the harbor and discharge cargo as
easily as they can now at Buffalo. At
Montreal, it is said, the government has
decided to erect, as a public work, an
immense grain elevator. AS the re-
ward for all this capital outlay, run
ming high up into the millions, Canada
expects to defect a large amount of
grain from the Erie canal.

Tins were strung up to trees for sup
posed connection with plot to murder
DIR. Hodges, prominent physician OF
the place, who on Thursday was shot
and fatally wounded by one of the

acts of lawlessness that have occurred
in the neighborhood recently were at
tributed to the gang. Several of the
men are believed 10 have families in Eu-
rope. Quiet was restored Immediately
after the lynching, and the grand jury
began an investigation of the affair, but
because of the feeling against the men
it is doubtful if action is taken against
any member of the mob.

THE FOREIGN CROPS.
Russia's Shortage of Wheat May
Reach lao, 900, 900 Bushels.
Rye Crop Also Very short-Fren~h
Estimate Places wheat Crops 81
Spain and Italy as 34,OOO,-
900 Bushels Short.

The agricultural departments for
eign crop report for July states that the
commercial authorities estimate the
shortage in the Russian crop of wheat
at from $4,000 900 to 12O, 900, 600 bushels,
as compared with last year. The de
ficiency is most serious in the regions
most favorably situated for export. In
the north unseasonably cold weather
has unfavorably affected all the crops
of hay, potatoes and all grains except
oats. The rye crop, an important one,
is very short
The Prussian official report on wheat
is little above fair" 2.3 being the
technical designation.
The American outlook for wheat and
rye is good in all but one province, that
of Bukowina. Austria, Roumania and
Bulgaria are all slightly below the av-
erage in wheat, rice and maize. a
French estimate of the wheat crops of
Spain and Italy puts it at 34,000,00O
bushels below last year, the shortage
being somewhat the heavier in Spain.
The wheat crop in France is repre-
scented as satisfactory, but the OPP
timistic estimates made earlier in the
season have been scaled down by later
crop damage, the estimate now being
$50, 00O, 900 bushels.
In Great Britain cable reports of
severe general storm presage consider
able damage to a grain crop that 9th
erwise would have ranked fair.
Hay is very much below the average.
The report from India shows better
conditions in Bengal and the northwest
provinces than for several years pre-
vious, but this improvement does not
extend TO the Punjab.
