* Atlantic have revived stories
L y of the pioneers by other
means Of communication. II Is too
generally overlooked that the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic exclu-
sively by steam was the Royal Will
lam, designed and built In Quebec.
This Canadian steamship crossed the
Atlantic in 1888, nve years before
the Sirius. which is frequently given
the credit. The American vessel,
Savannah. which crossed in 1919,
used steam only as an auxiliary and
made the greater part of the trip
under canvas alone.

sador Is reported to have said
Cyrus Field tied the two sides to-
gether with cables" This called
forth the following letter to the Lon

while we all retain the highest re-
gard for that great man as n SPLEEN

and business capacity. Il should be
stated for the purposes Of historical
accuracy that he (Field) was in no
sense an engineer and never laid a
cable In his life. am only too we'll
aware that the American Ambassa-

similar misstatements which have
frequently been given currency to
even In our own country. The fact
remains. however. that the first At
lan.ic cable was laid by my father
(the late Sir Charles Tilston Brightly,
for which incidentally he received
the honor OF lxnighthood at the age
Of rs"
The laying of the cable, as Mr..
Bright points out. was an engineer
ing feat. but the conception Of cable
communication across the Atlantic,
which has higher claim on history,
belonged to the late F. N. @. Gis-
borne. c. f., for many years SUPER
intendent OF the Telegraph and Sig
nal Service OF Canada He is truly
described In Morean's Canadian
Men and Women OF the Time" as the
Originator OF transatlantic subma-
rine telegraphy" He had secured
from the island OF Newfoundland a
concession for a land line TO connect
st. Johns with points in Canada and
himself proposed to Mr.. Field the
greater idea of a transatlantic cable.
Mr.. Field acquired the concession
from Mr.. Osborne, but In the subse-
quent organizations the Canadian did
not take part. 1t is no detraction
from Mr.. Fields merits to repeat
that Mr.. Osborne was the real origi-
nator of transatlantic cables.

The tariff policy OF the National Lib
eral party adopted at the convention in
Ottawa this week Is naturally of in
terest to business men in the United
States who do an export trade with the
Dominion, demanding as It does free
trade in a number Of specified articles
and general lowering Of the tariff all
round. Eighty-one per cent. OF Canada's
import trade during the fiscal year 1919
was with the United States. its value be-
ing $146,937,50s, as against S916.443. 900

lected on American products was $685.

customs revenue of the country. The
value of the specified products imported

Victory Issues strong.
The feature Of the bond market dur
ing the past week is the new strength
which developed in the Victory issues
ali along the line. with the result that
the 0 Us are from u to / point higher
tran they were week ago. There Is a
rumor that the Government, In view of
the new domestic loan of $500 600
which is to be foated in October. has
been quietly stabilizing the issues. But
the most definite reason for the advance
OF the past week appears to be an in
creased desire on the part of big in
vestors to pick up as many Of the VIC
tory bonds as possible in view of the
fact that Interest on the Forthcoming
will not be tax free.
Aside from buying spurts in certain
Issues. the stock market has ruled quiet
during the week. with prices somewhat
irregular. And while the tone of the
market improved toward the close Of the
week 1t can not be said that confidence
abounds. In fact, what does abound is
feeling of apathy. In spite, however
o. the irregularity which has charac-

few exceptions. much about as they were
