Considerable plowing has been done for wheat, but wet weather has Inter- fered with cuitlvation and many early plowed and summer fallow fields are quite weedy, and if dry weather con- ditions continue will be difficult to work. The picking of peaches has com- menced in the Niagara district, and It la expected that the harvesting of early tobacco will soon be started in %sex.

British Company Rumored in Market for AsseU of "Industrial Alcohol" Montreal. â€" Accompanying the recent advance in the shares of Canadian Industrial Alcohol were rumors sug- gesting that an attractive offer had been made for the purchase of the company by British distillery inter- ests. Officials of the company would not confirm this report. Earnings, however, are understood to be run- ning at a high level, and in some quarters there continues a disposition to look for an increased dividend rate or some special disbursement before the end of the year.

Canada and the Elmpire Toronto Saturday Night: (In an editorial, the Post of Cairns, Queens- land, rebukes Canada for being selfish- ly indifferent to the importance ot the Suez Canal to the Empire and especi- ally to Australia.) Canada has of late gotten herself in wrong in more quar- ters than one and seems to have quite innocently managed to become misunderstood on the matter of Kg>-p- tian policy. ... On his visit to this country last year Hon. Stanley Bruce privately made it clear to mJlny public men how deeply his Commonwealth was concerned in the maintenance of a firm Egyptian policy which would assure security to the Suez trade route. The misapprehension with re- gard to Canadian sentiment on this question is probably due to the cease- less and inconsequential chatter about our "status" which does not in any degree represent intelligent opinion In this country. These vaporlugs seem likely to get us in bad odor with our best friends in the world at large and the sooner they cease the better. has reason to be thankful for what It the day looks kinda gloomy Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for her.
