JOHN LIVINGSTONE.
EXPLORERS BROTHER HAS
LATELY DIED IN CANADA.
Had Lived In That Country Since 1910
Followed the Occupation of Mer-
chant and Became Very Wealthy In
Money and Lands.

John Livingstone, brother OF the
noted African explorer, David Living
stone. died at Listowel, Ont, recently,
at the ripe age of So years. John was
two years older than David. In many
respects they closely resembled each
other. Both were men of unusual
strength of character and both were
fond of adventure.
John Livingstone was the eldest son
of Neil Livingstone Of Blantyne, Scot
land, where he was born on the 18th
day of May, 1911. He was married in
Scotland in 1884 to Sarah Mackenzie,
who predeceased him in Listowel
nearly nineteen years ago. He came
to Canada in 1910 and lived in Lanark
for twenty years, engaged in the mer-
camille business. He came to Perth
county in 1860, starting a general store
in the then small hamlet. He was
among the earliest merchants Of the
place, and built up a large and pros
porous trade, retiring in 1873. Since
that time Mr.. Livingstone INDUCED in
a fondness for travelling, for many
years spending his summers among his
friends in Scotland and of late passing
the winter with his sons on the Pacific
coast, his last trip to the coast being
in the winter Of 1893. The surviving
members of his family are: Mr.. Neil

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Commercial Agencies Say War
Has Aided Prosperity.
FEELING OF CONFIDENCE.
Large Purchases of War Munitions and
Food In This Country Has swened
Our Foreign Balance-Failures show
q Large Decrease.

New York, Oct. 3O.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Fears and not facts made a war in
South Africa seem a menace to pros
perity here, and week Of conflict has
cleared away the fear. British mar
kets for securities have been helped by
the belief that mining shares would be
worth more with no Boer control in
mining regions, and large purchases
here Of ammunition, packed meats and
other army food have swelled the bal
ance due this country. Money markets
have grown less embarrassing, stocks
have gradually advanced, industries
are still supported by a volume of de-.
mand for which no precedent can be
found, and payments through the
principal clearinghouse for the last
week have been 1866 per cent larger
than last year and 57.3 per cent larger
than in 1892. So great an increase
shows the net result Of many and po-
tent forces making for public pros
perity.
Failures for the week have been
100 in the United States, against 226
last year, and % in Canada, against
"a last year."
Bradstreet's says:
LAS regards the current activity in
transportation, it may be said that
east-bound traffic from Chicago in the
last month has been more than double
that reported in the same period
year ago, and nearly twice as large
as that reported in October of 1892, a
record period Of good trade. Among
leading products decreasing in price,
tin and copper, among the metals,
have been most notable, the latter
claimed to be due to production ap-
preaching more to a parity with de-
mand. The situation of iron and steel
is perhaps the most notable one yet
presented. The feature Of the market
is the reported booking by the steel
rail mills of the country Of nearly Is
per cent of their capacity for next
years delivery. In all 1,500000 tons
of rails are reported to have been
booked.
Wheat Including flour) shipments
for the week aggregate 6,416, 495 BUSH

gate 4,525,519 bushels, against $685.

GRIEF FOR GENERAL HENRY.
Brave Army Cmcer's Death II Mourned
by Ohlcials.

by Omcials.
Washington, Oct. 30.-The death of
Gen. Guy v. Henry in New York was
announced to the war department Fri.
day in a dispatch from Lieut.. Traub.
aide de camp on the generals staff.
The interment will be at Arlington
National cemetery next Monday. The
announcement was received with heart
felt expressions Of regret from Secre-
tary Root, Adjt.-Gen. Corbin and other
high officials, as well as from the rank
and file about the war department, for
Gen. Henry was a well-known figure
here and universally esteemed.
The interment at Arlington will be
with full military honors. The grave
selected as the final resting place OF the
gallant soldier is on the slope at the
east front of the Lee mansion, near the
graves of Sheridan, Crook and Ord.
Gen. Henry's death has the effect OF
leaving vacant the command of the
department of the Missouri, to which
he was recently appointed. 1t has the
further important effect of creating an
other vacancy in the grade OF briga-
dier-general in the regular army, Gen.
Henry standing fourth on the list.

KIMBERLEY Still HOlDS0UT.
British Claim to Have RepuIsed
Repeated Boer Attacks.
COM MAN DANT BOTHA KILLED.
Reported Death OF Noted Dutch Leader
News from Natal Is Suppressed
Gen. White May Make Move Against
Free State Forces.

London, Oct. 30.-A battle somewhat
similar to the Boer attack on Mafe-
king was fought on Tuesday just out
side of Kimberley, between 500 British
under Col. Murray and 700 Beers, led
by Commandant Botha. The British
claim decided victory, admitting only
the small loss of three killed and TWEEN
ty-one wounded, including two officers.
The Boer losses, according to the Brit
ish reports, were heavy, including
Commandant Botha.
The Boer version Is yet unknown
and may tell another story. Since all
reports agree that the fighting was Sc
we're from start to finish, the British
report of their own losses looks as il
some part Of the story was exagger-
ated.
Later reports of Plumer's fight with
the Beers in Rhodesia say the Beers
were defeated and that the British loss
was two killed. The Boer loss is re-
ported seven killed and large number
wounded.
So far as Is known here the situa-
ton in Natal Is unchanged All news
Of British movements is certain to be
suppressed at present; it is not certain
that any moves have been made since
Gen. Yule's arrival at Ladysmith, but
the suppression of all correspondents
dispatches indicates that something Is
happening.
Much depends, of course, upon
whether the Free Staters and the
Transvaal commands have succeeded
in effecting a junction. The war Of
fee holds the belief that Whites forces
lie between the Free Staters and the
main body, supposed to be in the d.
rection of Acton Holmes and Blaauw-
bank, while the Transvaalers are prob
ably approaching by way of the rail-
way from Gencoe and the eastern road
from Dundee, though they are likely to
attempt a repetition of the previous
enveloping strategy, and may there
fore be expected to work southwards
toward Colenso.
AS the crow flies the distance from
Dundee to Ladysmith is forty miles, a
distance easily covered ordinarily, but
owing to poor transports it will be
hard to make inside of three days. In
this interval Gen. White is expected
to move against the Free Staters. 1t
is more likely, however, that Gen.
White intends keeping quiet until re-
enforced from the army corps.
Not soldier discharged a farewell
shot at the burial of Gen. Symons at
Dundee. He was buried the Tuesday
morning after his death in the pres
ence of only few medical officers and
civilians. Gen. Joubert sent a tele-
gram of sympathy to Lady Symons.

the British and the Beers in decisive
battle will probably come on Sunday.
The battle-ground will be in British
territory and the Beers will be the

Three columns OF the Beers are now
advancing upon Ladysmith. The pur-
pose evidently is to close in upon the
town from the north, and though no
direct information of any line of COM
munication between the Transvaal COL
umns and the Orange Free State is
contained in the messages received
here from the correspondents ut the
front, yet the precision of the move
ments Of the Boer forces indicates that
one head Is directing the advance OF
the three columns.
While the Beers are pushing forward
to attack, Gen. White Is receiving re-:
