WALL STREET WAS CROWDED
Court Decision in Minnesota Rate
Case Causes a Heavy Slump
Hill Stocks Suffer.

New York.-Wall Streets interpro-
tation of the effect on the railroads
of the Minnesota decision was shown
at the opening of the stock maket
when railroad stocks slumped badly.
The Hill Stocks, which were di-
rectly concerned in the Minnesota
case, were the heaviest sufferers,
fell to the lowest level of the year
with losses extending to more than
4 points.
Brokerage offices were crowded as
they had not been for many months.
The severe losses of the day resulted
in some buying by investors, attract
ed by the low prices, but the amount
of this buying was comparatively
small, and was not sufficient to stay
the decline.

tor, is dead from the injuries sus-
tanned while blasting at the univer-
sity. Dahlene had the contract for
the excavation of the basement for
the new administration building He
was preparing to enlarge a hole and
had a small stick of dynamite in his
hand. He lit the fuse and then
changed his mind and decided to wait
a while before shooting the blast. He
attempted to extinguish the flame by
pinching the fuse, but it was too quick
for him. Before he could drop the
stick it exploded.

GOOD TIMES In CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERINc. TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who if allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipf-
tating something a good deal worse
than they, feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
Is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
the outcome of the last fiscal year.
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained 1
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $168, 250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,00O,000. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
Rod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
THE augmentation of revenue to
which 1 have referred has not been
irregular spasmodic or intermittent
in it's nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial Increases
THAT in a period of great fnan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
(S23, 00O,00O) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be a matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world
Owing to the favorable state of it's
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
