Mr. Thos. Bowes' remarks on the cattle trade, published in the Watchmanâ€" Warder of two weeks ago led the Sun to interview leading Toronto dealers, and even the Minister of Agriculture. l Hon. John Dryden, on the subject. What these said is as follows ; THOMAS CRAWFORD I look for prices of export cattle to range this spring from 2.} to 5 cents per pound. I am, basing my statement largely on conditions now existing in the United States. In 1901 the Americans had a. corn crop that was excellent in quality but limited in quantity, and prices were high bOth for home demand and ex- port. This led the Americans to ex- port largely of Com instead of keepâ€" ing it at home for feed, and the con- sequence Was that the number of cattle fed last year in the United States was small. In the season just passed the Americans produced an abundance of corn. but it was So badly frosted that very little of it was fit for export. The Americans thus have an enormous quantity of cheap feed which must be used at home. In fact, the only way they can get their money out of this corn is by feeding it to cattle. That is the reason cattle have gone down so much in the United States since last summerâ€"and I believe the conditions which have caused this reduction will Continue to operate during the whole of this season. There are also a lot of cattle being fed in this country. In consequence of all this. I look for considerably lower prices than we have had last year, especially during Lent, FRANK HUNNISL‘TT “The first shipment of live cattle from Argentina, which has taken place the embargo went on some two years ago arrived in England yester- day. This is merely the beginning of enormous exportations from that country. It is true that the shipâ€" ment of beef from : ‘ outing. to Briâ€" eâ€" ment of ments of dressed beef from that coun- - wore larger .

Where I hays paid 27b. 8!. I have this year P314 . high as 453. The American rates are just as high as from the Canadian ports. The trouble is that’ the steamship companies cannot car- ry all the cattle that are being of- fered. There were several thousand cattle left over last week in New York. Under these circumstances, freight rates are bound to be high. and. of course, the same high prices Cannot be paid for the cattle as were paid some time ago." “What has the cheap corn of the other side to do with the present situation 1’" ”That is a factor. too. They have an abundance of feed. and this year are rushing cattle to market which they wete not able to feed last year. because they had not the stuff to food with. We are thus getting a part of last year's supply of cattle along with this year's. Then, again. the Canadian farmers have been holding their fed cattle back on account of the low prices, I suppose. and the re- sult will be a rush of cattle later on, for they cannot turn their stall-fed cattle out on grass again. So that, altogether, I do not look for higher prices for some time to come." FROZEN CORN WON'T FAT'I‘EN - JOSEPH LUNNES. for Lunncs and Hallignn: “I do not look for any relief from the situation for some time. The rates are from $8 to $9 per head higher than they were a while ago. Mr. Hallignn. my partner, was in Chicago last week. trying to size up the situation there. He found it very difficult to find out what the outcome of the present position was likely to be. He was told by some that the frozen corn that was being fed to the cat- tle over there was adding no weight to them. They were, therefore, rushing their cattle to market, with the result that there is an over sup- ply. There is no scarcity of cattle. and while the cheap feed lasts, there will be a. big run on cattle on all the markets. Then the removal of the embargo on the Argentine cattle will have an effect, but it is hard to tell as yet ‘emctly what the effect will be. They will ship their live cattle, but who ther that means that there will be a decrease in the dead meat exports from the Argentina remains to be seen. The situation is complicated. but it seems certain that cattle will be cheap for some time." CHANGED CONDITIONS JOHN Ill'NN . "It is a little diffiâ€" cult. to convince the Canadian farâ€" mer that the conditions of the ex- port trade this year are altogethct different to what they were last 'year. Prices were high then. and hd cannot, or will not, understand why are not high now. The fact is, United States hold the key to we get for our cattle in Last year high prices the United States.

Any man who can form an estimate as to how mm million bushels of corn next season's crop will produce. as compared with the past season, and how.‘ many millions of that crop will be available for export purposes, will be able to form a better idea as to the cattle prices in a few months from now than I am able to do at present. What I have told you, however. are facts which the Cana- dian farmer has to take into ac» count, as explaining why he will probably have to be content with inner prices for his export cattle for. some time to come, at all events." HON. JOHN DRYDEN “There seem to be a general dis- POSitiOn on the part of dealers to bl: pessimistic as to the prices which Will obtain this year. Looking the situation over from eVi-ry point of View, I do not think that the prices will reach the very high mark of last year, but I see no reason why they should go very far below. I‘niccs have not been materially rcduccd in Great Britain, and practically our 133.4 1: so uSiq su flames on: 0111130 ago. I anticipate that the cattle to be obtained this year will be super- i‘or in quiility, as the price obtained last year was sufficient to inspire our feeders with better ideals as to Quality than for some years past. It is impossible to produce the finished article which our dealers would like to handle for tile, and our farmers will sell their grain and turn their attention to other things before they will attempt it. If prices should run from 5 to Sc we should have no difficulty in multiplying the number of choice animals. A favorite argu- ment with the dealers is that the United States have an enormous cord crop, much of which is not fit for exâ€" port, and must be utilized on the ground. I .Iad the privilege last autumn of going through some of the corn-growingr status. and talked with some of the focdcrs and furnicrit as well. The real truth is that the corn crop is not larger in. say. 'lowai nor is it of good quality. It, will not be suitable for export. neither is it suitable for tho iincst iced, and feedch claim that they are unable to uptomplisli as good results with it art they can with that which is superiâ€" or. TRANSPORTATION "if by some means the diillcultii-s of transportation could be ovm‘comc so that our people would be put on a par with the people of the United States, 1 think our l'urmcrs general- ly would be satisfied with the prices they obtain them. Prices have been reduced during the past few months, for the reason that many of those who held cattle believed that the prices were going down. and modc a' rush to market in order to get ahead ; but when thousands of peo- ple have the same idea, the result for the time being is a glut in the The number of animals marketed has been enormous. My judgment is that there will be no such extravagant shipments for next few months, and I repeat statement I made that cattle I would hold t them in the finest that ’ months 1 should receive on return for my labor." ”A...“ COUNCIL PROCEEDIBGS 0F LtXION' the the a few months ago; if I owned a number of good 110m and finish shape believing if I owned a number of good ample in a while.

To him belongs no laurel wreath fol abstinence. It is not a matter OI choice ; it is a case of stern neo- csoxty, for Sir Wilfrid has said that in his salad days he tried to do as other men did. He triad to smoke but the sweet solace was not for him. To put it boldly, it made him sick. Two or three times he tried to school himself to the greatest unodyne for mental worry that the world known, or chr will know. but haturc stepped in with a veto. Sir Wilfrid's brain is strong, but the internal economy lower down is weak. The attempts at learning to smoke were all woeful failures. and the Prime Minister that was to be was thin mournfiully to deIl()\V1(‘(lg‘C to himself and his friends that smok- ing was one of the decomplishim-nts that he must plod through ’llll' worfd unowning. This incapacity caused him some regrct, and occw‘sionally does ‘to this day. In tho company of friends, who have boon enjoying their Cigars, the First Minister has often said : “‘1 Wish I could cnjov u. Cigar the Way you fellows seem to.” SIR CHARLES TUPPER Another big man who cannot smoke is Sir Charles Tuppl'râ€"lhl! Old Man, for “Young Churlcy" cares for few joys more than for those. which his old bfuck briar-root gives. The former premier says that public dinners are often a positive infliction to him. This is when they are held in a small or low-coilingcd room. where the smoke cannot asccnd. At the dinner of the I’riss~ Gallery of Parliament a your or :0 ago. Sir Charles mournfully referral to his limitations in the way of enjoying a smoke. He told his heart-rs how he too, had challenged and bad lHfl‘Il vanq‘uished by our Lady Nicotine.

But a good cigar is a smoke And speaking of Kipling, lto'bcrt Laird Borden, leader of his Majesty ‘s Loyal Opposition, has two prime passionsâ€"a love of Kiplingr and u love of smoking. Not that Mr. florâ€" den carriers cifhcr to excess. Extru- vagancc in any line of life is lulully foreign to him, but he can quote Kipling by the yard, and he- allows himself a moderate number of cigars a day, perhaps six or scwn. And his cigars are about as i:(,loz‘,u,1:< any can be found anywhere. In other things Mr. Borden is almost ascetic. IIe is an indefatigable \vorlwr.

It is seldom you see the Minister of Interior walk out of the House without, as soon as he reaches the corridor, search for a cigar in his 'waistcoat pocki-t. That good right arm of his has be- come so accustomed to that task that the motion seems to be almost automatic. HON. MR. PATERSON Once in a while Mr. Sifton induc- es his colleague, Mr. Paterson, to accept a cigar, but the Minister of Customs insitts upon preferring the common clay pipe, beloved by child- ish butfiileblomrs, and retailing for one cent. With this, filled with strong tobacco, between his teeth, Mr. Peterson is quite happy.
