 Long before the conclusion of the Hay Herren treaty the course of events had shown that canal to connect the Al Iantie and Pacific oceans must be built oN the United States or not at ali. Ex- perlence had demonstrated that private enterprise Was utterly inadequate for the purpose; and fixed policy, declared by the United States on many memorabl oc- Caslons, and supported by the practically unanimous voice Of American opinion had rendered 1t morally impossible that the work should be undertaken by European powers. either singlv or in combinations. oucn were the universally recognized con ditions on wEich the legislation of the congress was based. and on which the late negotiations with Colombia were be- gun and concluded.

After a rather protracted season of
comparative dullness, the call for butter
seems to be showing marked improve
ment. While receipts of extras continue
fully up to former figures, the outlet
seems to be widened, altho buyers are
not using any brass band tactics in let
ting the trade know they are now ready
to take hold of the butter situation in
earnest. The better tone was simply de-
yeloped by the fact that suddenly stocks
proved to be cut down to low limits,
caused by buying in a quiet way by
speculative talent The improved condi-
tions are not reflected to other lines than
extras, but firsts and seconds in creamery
makes are not in great supply, and the
lighter supply of extras will attract
enough attention to them to keep them
within reasonable bounds. Diaries so far
are slow and inclined to accumulate, and
the advance in creamery tops is about the
only feature that has prevented a declirte
in dairy extras and firsts. Thousands of
pounds Of dairy tops have gone into cool
erS, receivers being forced to take them
In owing to lack Of any other outlet.
Packing stock buyers have again come
actively into the field, and the competition
among buyers forced quotations back to
IL cents on fresh sweet goods. This may
have a favorable influence upon the dairy
market.
The general undertone on eggs seems to
portend a break in prices, but so far it
has not developed. Large buyers are not
seeking stock as actively as formerly, and
have reduced prices on case count around
25 cents per case. This may possibly be
to protect themselves against the in
creased shrinkage in current receipts,
, which in many cases Is abnormal, Coun-
try buyers are buying too much freight
again this year on rotten eggs.
Cheese Is still on a dull and compare
lively weak basis. The call is fair for
fresh makes for current cutting by re-
tailers, but buyers for storage are over
looking the inducements made in the way
of low prices, and seem to be perfectly
willing to allow a new crop Of speculat tors

ALBERTA WINTER WHEAT
CULTIVATION is A SURPRISE TO
AMERICANS-A MILLION BUSH
ELS NEXT YEAR.
Special to The Journal.

Winnipeg, Man., June 25.-The devel-
opment Of winter wheat raising in south
ern Alberta is attracting much attention
says correspondent from this point Of
the Commercial West Of Minneapolis.
Winter wheat in any part of western
Canada will be a surprise to most Amer
leans, but in southern Alberta, where the
climate Is considerably milder than in
Manitoba, it is proved to be a success.
1t is expected that at least 100000 BUSH
els of Kansas turkey red wheat will be
produced in this region next year. J..
Thompson, of Spring Coulee, the pioneer
spring wheat grower Of Alberta, will SOW
$4,000 acres this fall; Geliff & Griswold
Of Galesburg. Ill, will put in 1000 acres !;
the Alberta Land and Stock company, an
American concern. will be good for the
same acreage, and two other companies
will do as well or better.
Two American real estate men, George
E. Blair and R. W. Sloan, have become
interested in Alberta and have undertaken
to dispose Of 1000 acres Of land. They
are backed by San Francisco capitalists.
That improved Manitoba farms are be-
ginning to have proper valuation placed
on them is Indicated by two sales that
have recently taken place at Portage la
Prairie. A farm of 800 acres, eight miles
from the town, sold for $35 an acre. An
other half section sold for $4,000.
The Ames-Brooks Grain company OF
Duluth is planning the erection Of large
terminal elevator at Fort William.

"BULL' PROPHETS
TOLD THE TRUTH
CANADIAN PACIFIC ADVANCE
SUPPORTS PREDICTIONS.
Much Talk About Future Earnings,
Especially Of the 500 Road-Glen-
wood Extension VIII Earn Much,
but Will Hardly Come Up to Point
Set.

Special to The Journal
New York, June 25.-The advance of
six points in the price of Canadian Pacific
stock fulfils the prophecies Of various
chronic Canadian Pacific bull who sur
vived the long decline.
Ostensibly. the advance was based on
the prospects for very excellent earnings
In the next few months, not only by
Canadian Pacific but by it's subsidiary
companies. The reports from the far
northwest seem to indicate that the crops
this summer will be better than in 1908
and may be bigger than even in 1902.
All business conditions in the Canadian
west, say the advices, are favorable.
These reports have been circulated dill
gently for the past two or three weeks
in London. Their result is found in the
demand for Canadian Pacific stocks from
that quarter. The arbitrage houses in
New York and the wire houses with
Montreal and Toronto wires did the bulk
| of the business in the stock. They re-
! ported that the market was extremely
narrow--so narrow that purchases Of
1000 shares on order were only executed
! at an advance. When a stock cannot be
bought in even such quantity as that
without advancing the price the stock is
getting scarce in ''the street."
The same people who have been talk
ing about an advance in Canadian Pacific
! have also talked about 500 line. They
nave MADE Dig claims Tor this road. A
current statement purporting to be Of
fetal, to the effect that the Glenwood ex-
tension will double the net earnings of
500 line, is called in question. The Glen
wood extension will help the 500 line. 1t
will probably easily pay its way and a
fair return on its actual cost from the
outset. It Will not do much more. It's
charges will be about $2So,o00 annually,
and if it makes $500 net in it's first
season in full operation it will do very
well indeed. That is far short of the
$4,000, 900 it would have to earn to double
the net earnings Of 500 line.
| On the whole, there seems a very good
basis for an advance in Canadian Pacific
stock, but the same methods are being
) used that were used in 1902, namely
promiscuous talking by interested parties
much circularizing and lot Of what the
street calls CUFF from Toronto and Mon
treal.

,S-o- -
LOW POINT PROBABLY PASSED
AT SIOUX CITY.
Fat Cattle Receipts Show a Shortage
Compared with Last Week and All
Grades Run Lighter-Good Stockers
Sell Up Well-A Considerable Num-
Der of Low Grade Beeyes Unsold at
the Close.

Sioux City Stock Yards, June 25.-Only
very moderate supply Of cattle was re-
ceived this week and with 1900 head ac-
tually on sale. the supply was 800 less
than last week. About 1900 head of
southern cattle were shipped and received
from points in Texas to the northern
ranges, which are not included in the
above. The stocker trade has been very
slow and dragging. Sellers in a good many
cases held out for stronger prices, while
the dealers were Indifferent and would not
buy unless they could see some outlet or
had some bunch of cattle to fill out
when they would pay steady prices with
last week. On this basis the arrivals early
in the week We're closed out, but any cat
tie arriving after Wednesday sold weak,
and anything of the inferior order was
hard to get rid of at any price. AS high
as S4.10 was paid for bunch Of good
stockers, but the larger share OF the steer
stuff marketed ran to light, just fair quail
ity, selling at SO and $3.50. In heifers the
trade was very slow at ~ and $3.50. The
percentage of anything that might be
classed as good quality was very small,
which was a detriment to the already poor
trade. The week closes with quite a few
cattle scattered thruout the yards and
conditions are not expected to improve the
coming week.
The fat cattle supply also showed a
shortage with last week and there have
not been sufficient to fill the demands OF
the local slaughterers. The market shows
little or no change with last week on the
good dry-fed steers or butcher stock, while
the common steers and grassy cows are
10000 lower and continue to show q
wider margin each day at all points. ac-
cording to the liberality OF the receipts
There has been nothing good enough In
the steer line to sell over $5.77h, while
the bulk of the COW stuff changed hands
at $3.50 and $4.25, with Gamers at the ole
prices Of $3.50 and So.
Hogs-With $4,000 hogs on the market
receipts show gain Of 500 over last week
The market opened up the week at the
low point and with hogs selling to-day al
IS and $500, the market closes with values
1Oc higher than Monday and 15c higher
than the close Of last week. The shipping
demand has been excellent for good light
and butcher weights and has been a grea
factor in keeping prices up. Quality ant
