The proviocial fruit inspector, El mey Lick, of Oshawa, Ont, arrived in. the city yesterday afternoon. He is here to inform fruit dealers, groe- ers, ete, of the working of the new bill regarding the packing and mark- ing of apples for sale. In past years there wis so miach frauad practised by the packers and shippers of this fruit that the government found it neces sary to pass iegislation and appoint ar. inspector. Thirteen prosecutions were made in the province last year, and this year the law will be wore stringently enforced. In many cases, the inspector says, the farmers filled their barrels about a third full of pea straw .* He did not know why it war they always used pea straw in preference to other straw, but they always did so, however. The govern: ment believed that both the buyer and the customer should be protected, and fraudulent dealers were therefore pernished. Local dealers are also interested in the packing of tomatoes, which is also fraudulently done in many cas %. The law refers only to "fruit," and there is some uneeciainty as to whepher tommtoes are really fruit The inspector says he is willing to risk taking a case to the courts. In order to explain the workings of the law and hear the complaints of all dealers, Mr. Lick has, called a meeting for to-morrow evening, at the council chamber; when he will address fruit dealers, grocers, ete.

A meeting of the Kingston + shoe leve was at the Y.M.CA. builiing last evening to organize and to discuss the evil systems with which the trade is burdengd. It was decid ol to organ.se under the mame of the "Retail. Shoedealers' Association.' These officers were elected : Presi dent, A. Abernethy; vice-president, F. G. Lockett; secretary-tveasurer, W. Sawyer, i It was unnimously decided that the approbation system should be entire ly done away with. The matter . of credit was fully discussed, and while it was felt that its abolition would Ue a drawback to many people whose credit is as good as cash, yet it was held that on account of the short terms of payment given by wholesale dealers gomething must be done, and the meeting decided unanimously that the eredit system must also be abolished. After July 1st, no appro bation or credit will be given by Kingston shoe dealers. Everything got in & shoe store must be paid for at once; if articles are returned un soiled the cash will be remitted. Caldwell--Winnett.

George Batten, of the R. & 0. line, is to be gongratulated upon successfully taking the new palace steamer Montreal safely through the rapids of the St. Lawrence to Mon treal. This magnificent. craft is 340 feet long and draws about seven feet of water, yet Capt, Batten took this huge fabric through the perilous rapids between Prescott and Montreal without a mishap, and despite the gloomy preglictions of doubters. A few feet miscaleulated, a momentary hesitation, a lack of nerve, or bad judgment, would have wrecked a fioating palace worth $350,000, and possibly valuable human life. Capt. Batten's many friends in Brockville congratulate him heartily. Purchased A Yacht. Howard 8, Folger has purchased the fast yacht Viator, owned by 8. 1. Taylor, Watertown, N.Y.
