Canada: appears to be dissatisfied


Canada appears to be dissatisfied
with its present postal arrangements
with this country and has given notice
that after May I. 1907, the present
agreement concerning second-class mail
matter will be abrogated. This doubt
less means that American newspapers
and rls gazines are flooding the Cara
dian mails to an extent which makes
Canadian publishers unhappy. Not
only the Canadian publishers. but also
the merchants and manufacturers of
the Dominion complain that the ad-
yertising in the American publications
is injuring their business by drawing
trade from Canada into this country.
This is high tribute to the American
advertisers: The result Of the Cana
dian governments action will be a new
schedule Of postal rates for second
class mail matter so that American
publishers will have to pay more than
at present for the privilege OF having
q circulation across the border.

csnned Goods in China.

Undefpormal conditions Amer

sale and may be said to control the
market inSChina. The fruits and
vegetables give universal satisfac-
ton, and while the Chinese. since
the boycott began, have either re-
Trained altogether from buying or
have made their purchases under

has been satisfactory to the impor-
tiers. The natives use condensed
milk extensively, but seldom in
dulge in cream.
The manufacturers of Swiss milk
have entered the market with
good brand and allow Chinese mer-
chants from sixty to ninety days
in which to make a settlement.
This plan enables the native deal
ers to dispose Of part, if not all of
their purchases before payment is
due, and the system has given SO
much satisfaction that the sales are
steadily increasing.
The English control the Jam and
preserve market and are so strong
" intrenched that it would appear
an almost impossible task to dis
lodge them. The recognized merit
and well-deserved popularity of
the goods have not, however, de-
tered American manufacturers from
entering the field, but the results
thus far have not been particular
ly encouraging.
The American product is sweet,
clean and palatable, but it is put

about seventeen different killings

question then suggested itself, is

one who is disposed to Judge matters
from the standpoint of crimes COM

nizes that the facilities for dissem-
mating news make it difficult for the
slightest offense to go unreported,
and this may be one of the causes
why so much space is taken up III

these occurrences. At any rate it is
calculated to make a man take q

to ask the old time question;
