A new high record for the number of shtps in harbor at one time v>zs established here on October 24, when 92 ocean and coast- ing vessels were berthed at the local wharves. Th-'s total, which d:es not take into account vessels from the Great Lakes, was mais up of 88 ships from trans-Atlantic or American ports and 4 from ports in the Gulf of ; St. Lawrer. ?e. Since the opening of navigation to date the port has been visited by 1,033 ci-ean and coasting steamers, 3 compared with 964 ar- ! rivals from the sea during the whole of last year. Toronto, Oni. A run of 15.000 cat- ! tie at the L'nion Stock Yards of To- ronto for the past week, constituted the heaviest offering' for one week in the history of the yards, with the ex- ception of a week in the fall of 1913, when the then prevailing American tariff was suddenly lifted and heavy flow of Ontario cattle immediately followed. The cattle-run for the year to date shows an increase of 26,000 head on last year for the same period. Winr.rpeg, Man.

The tobacco indus- try may soon become profitable In Saskatchewan if experiments carried on this year are broadened out. Sam- ples of tobacco grown on the farm* of Hungarians south of Saekatoon have been sent to the Federal Minister of Agriculture, who has sent to Saskat- chewan a favorable report from to- bacco experts. The only criticism made is that the tobacco is a little heavy in nicotine. The tobacco plant- ed in this district comprised four acres, while a lot about the same size waa grown at Cabri, in the western part of the province. Calgary, Aka.
