Try Lardine. The railways both of Canada and of the United States are very seriously feeling the effects of the business depression. The reports of the traffic receipts, compared to last year, give unmistakable evidence in regard to the character of the present business stagnation. The report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, just published, shows that lor February alone, there was a decrease in the net earnings of $212,000, compared with February of last year. Probably many of the other American railways will show a falling off quite as great. In Canada the reports indicate in the same direction. The Grand Trunk receipts for the third week in February were $30,000 less than the correspon- ding week last year, and for the previous thieo months the decrease was $350,009 less than during the corresponding period in '83. The Canadian Pacific is also reporting a falling off of something like $4,000 a week. Politicians may argue that there is a serious business depression, or that there is no depression at all, just as it may best suit their party purposes, but facts and figures such, as the above, tell their own story. Probably '84 will prove a year of very great anxiety to a large number of business corporations, and to men in nearly every branch of business.

Mrs. Pringle, wife of the lessee of the McCullongh House, died on Friday morning last. Great sympathy id felt for the bereaved husband' who had just taken up his residence among us. Deceased was taken to Whitby for interment.

L'he cause appears to be that the area devoted to wiieat in all parts of the world is increasing at a faster ratio than the population and with India, Australia and Russia all improving their transportation facihties, they are able to grow wheat and land it in the United Kingdom at a much cheaper rate than American farmers can do. In fact wheat is now selling throu{,houtth3 Western States for less money than the actual cost to the farmer of raising it,, and if this, state ot things continues tlie outlook for our greAt prairie provinces is by no means bright, at least as far as tho profitable raising of wheat is con- cerned. The best thinj^ fHrmers can do is to devote their attention t" tiifr raising of other grains, and also livo stock.which are always in yood demand at la.r prices. Nothing but an almost universal failure of the wlieit crop can again raiss t^e pries to, a paying Oasis, and from. piTseui; aj^pearauces this is rof»st nuliKely.
