The Corporation Election.

The annual corporation election
on Monday resulted in the reelection
Of the old council, with one exception,
and decided victory for the advo-
Gates of license to sell liquor. The

didates for re. election, but an opposi-
ton ticket was gotten up, though
most of the candidates, We believe,
declined to give their consent to run

has served several terms very accept
ably, was elected over DR.. G. W.

BUSINESS h BOOMING
Good News Still Predominates in

FEW STRIKES ARE THREATENED

Not Sufficient to Check Progress,

is reflected in a better retail distribu-
ton of merchandise. JObbing trade in
goods for fall delivery is broadening,
and there is more inclination to pre-
pare for the future. Manufacturers re-
port less idle machinery, the iron and
steel industry leading with an unpre-
cedented output of pig iron, yet con-
sumption is also above records, FOR
there is no accumulation at the FUR
naces. Textile mills are also well en-
gagged as a rule and forwardings OF
footwear from Boston make favorable
comparisons with every year except
1900.

tude to materially check progress even
