( According to commercial summaries, furnished by the mercantile agencies of thin and Eh'adstreet, the condition of trade shows generally little if any ap- preciable change since the last re- turns. In different quarters the un- tuually mild weather ba^i acted as a de- terrent to the ordinary progress of trade, and tbe demand for certain lines o( seasonable guuds has >>een checked. I'here is no decided increase in any direction. The demand for iron and) steel continues good, as it is expected the cost of manufacture will increase shortly. There is a fair demand for woolen goods at steady prices, but cot- ton good.t are weak and stock large.

Chaddock, F.B.G.S., a Liverpool navigator, of thirty years' experience in twth steam and sailing craft, has invented an appliance which ought to be of immense value to ship- owners and their crews all the world over in saving both life and property, Tbe present wooden hatches, laid on from above are easUy forced up by the inrush of water consequent upon a hole being knocked in the bottom of a vessel, tbe results teing that she rapidly tips and siaas. The telescopic iron batches, which constitute Capt. Chaddock'b invention, are so arrang- ed that tbe pressure of water from below would, in such a contingency, bind them more tightly in their places, precluding the possibility of tbe water rising above tbe first deck which forms a platform or horizontal bulkhead, preventing the ship from sinking and water from reaching the cargo from above. Tbe improvements give more effective ventilation to prevent cargo heating and sweating and are also capa- ble of being hermetically sealed, so as to neutralize fire, and. generally speak- ing, water-tight oompartments are doubled, the consequent seaworthi- ness of a vessel being vastly increased. Besides these essential advantages there are many others, as, for instance, more speedy manipulation and no risk of injury by careless handling; bad smells from cargo do not reach the passengers; tbe vessel would be a sal- vage appliance in herself in case of stranding, and last, but not least the batches are particularly suitable for deep-water ballast tanks. The practi- cal effect of Capt. Cbaddock's improv- ed hatches will be to multiply the wa- ter-tight divisions of a ship in propor- tion as ths number of decks are to bulkheads. Thus a ship with eight bulkheads and three decks would at present have only nine water-tight compartments with wooden hatches, but with the improved hatches and water-tight decks the same ship would have twenty-five compartments, an increase of sixteen extra comparl- mentii. Capt Chaddock's improve- ments have l«en submitted to the lead- ing shipowners, underwriters, marine engineers, and other practical men, tioth in Europe and the United States, and they have spoken of them in the highest terms. GSTiRIO'S BOLD ITBLDS. THE BEST IN THE WORLD AN» EASY OF ACCESS. A LONG WALK la rsaada't aakH-wn Lai<l-lt« Material Alexander McKay has returned tp New Denver from a three months' trip in the direction of the Klondike says the New Denver Ledger. U'is mission north was to examine some galena ledgee. He went in a came with an Indian guide from Wraugel to Tele- graph Creek thence Iv Lee* Lake, and down the Dees River 2M miles and up the Laird River. L'4) miles, where he found plenty of galena ledges from two to ten feet wide, carrying about aw ounces of silver to the ton. The formation is similar to that of the Slocan and McKay thinks it will be profitable mining when the railroad tai"!* the region. Upon the return trip he hal to walk 326 mUes. owing to rain having swoollen the streams. It took 52 days of hard walking before Wrang- el was reached on tbe return trip. Game was plentiful and many a grouse and jiorcupine did Sandy stow away lx>bind his lielt. On the Laird River every bar prospected showed $9 to $6 a day in gold. He met two Colorado outfits, one guided by Gillespie, of Victoria going up the Francis Lake to winter. In the spring they intend- ed to push on to Klondike, via Kelly River McKay >-»vs that this is the test route to Dawson City and that he would not be afra'd to make the entire trip with only a gun, some salt and plenty of blankets.

Out of tbe dozeci of "Klondike" and "Tukoo " companies that have sprung suddenly into existence, there ils aikly one that possesses a claim, or anything eilse ot vhUm, in the new fields. Gold mining on an iceberg is not an attractive proposition at any time, bui wheo Englishmen read the tale« of bardsibip and disaster <.>f tbe 9.0OU men now in tbe White Pass, they will wise- ly pause before putting up their pounds, and weigh xibK advantages and disadvantages of ubia district with th.*e o< other Canadian gold fields.

Tie Klondike will serve its pur- pose it it mere.y acts as an advertise- ment for Canada's mineral wealth, and if its richee mereL'>- draw attention to the vaat and spCendUl gold fields of Kootenay and of North-western On- tario. It is toward these two districts that the eyes of Ouaadians are turned ; and it in on them lihnt the bu|:es for Canada 'a fujture asagol'd mining coun- try are based- They are fields which are acc«-(>>ii>:e. permanent, and of proved value, and which the English pu'olic would do well to givie attenliuo to as the country for .egitimate and s|.ien- didly paying inve^-iment. THE KOOTENAY DifiTRJCT. Of theee two districts the Kiotenay is fairly well known, aa ir is situated in Britladi Columbia, wbeore many Eng- li^ah couipa.nies are interested. The gold fie.ds of Ontario, the must central of all Canada'a prxyvinces, are, on the other hand, a new discovwry. They extend a-ong thn north shore of Lake i^ifierior to the boundary of Manitoba, almost 600 miles, and Ivive a width of 130 miillw, thus forming a vast parallelo- gram of, rouglil"v, 7.000 square mile*. Like the K *ndiie^ it b* a country which, by the work of providence and uf man, liea just within British terri- tory. For some years vast wt>nderfuil speci- mens ofgv>ld hiiveleen found invari- oua parts of the greo-t tra«.-t of coun- try, and Indians and settlers have brought in tales of its ri -hnees; but, un- ti'. the summer of 1896, noiutive ojtera- tioim were l*gun.

The set-ood advantage is the abund- ance, oi water 9U4>j>liy, foiT power and other purpoeee; the whoile area of the g«.d fiends being a net work ot rivers, sitreams and lakes. In consequence of this fact the need for raLliway and roads is not nearjy so im^peraiive as it wouklt. otherwim Iv. and even the most remote part of tbe regiun ils not more than forty mifM from railway or^team- boat.
