This was largely due to the efiect upon the general level of the strengthening in the price of cattle and hogs and their products, which took place in April. Grains also were upward, while some of the metals, notably copper, tin auispelter, devel- oped great strength. Raw cotton, raw rubber, coal and coke are among the important articles now moving up- ward. 0n the other hand, dairy pro- ducts were generally wzakened, from seasonal causes.

These numbers. it is to be understood, are percentages of' the general level of prices throughout the last decade of the last century, the period selected by the department as the standard for comphrison in its measurement of price fluctuations. As is usual at this period of the year, the number of labor disputes in existence has recently increased in connection with the settlement of wages schedules for the coming sea- son of activity. There were nineteen strikes reported to the department of labor in April, being five more than in March, and five more than in April R. Agent. T.

About fifty firms_a.nd 6,000 em- ployees were involved, ,the loss of time being estimated as in the neighbor- hood of 150,000 working days. The only important new disturbance, how. ever was that of railway construction hands in British Columbia. On the whole, the situation from the stand- point of working time lost has been more favorable than last year. Only eleven disputes were reported ~un- settled at the end of the month. There was a large return of indus- trial accidents to the department of labor during April than in the pre- ceding month or in the same month of the preceding year. Altogether six ty-two workmen lost their lives and two-hundred and thirty-seven were seriously injured.

WINTER HAS BEEN HARD 0N WHEAT BIG PERCENTAGE HAS BEEN KILLED The area sown to winter wheat Lust E fall was reported as 1,097,900 urres 0: 1' which 797,200 acres were in untutio, and 300,700 acres in Alberta. Faun 12’- ports of correspondents at the end of April it is estimated that about 31.50 per cent of this acreage has been winter killed, the proportion being 28.52 per cent in Ontario and £28.50 Ottawa, May 13.â€"A bulletin of the , Census and Statistics office issued toâ€" -‘ day makes the following report cn the ' crops and live stock of Canada. ‘ I per cent in Alberta. This represents a total deduction from the area sown, of about 345,000 acres.

Very little progress had been made by the same date in Quebec, the amount of seed- ing done, representing not more than about three or four per cent. In On- tario about 15 per cent of the total seeding was completed, but this ap- plies chiefly to the western and south em parts of the province» In the northwest provinces, the wet condiâ€" tions of the ground coupled with cold weather and the small amount of fall ploughing completed last year, has caused seeding operations to be somewhat; backward. 1912 is likely to be about 20 bushels per acre, or 13 per cent. less than the ayerage yield of the three years, 1909- 11, viz., 23.33 bushels per acre, pro- vided that average conditions prevail between now and harvest. Sick 'Headaches” are not caused by anything wrong in the head, but by constipation, biliousc ness and indigestion. Headache powdets or tablets may deaden, but cannot cure them. Dr. Morsc's Indian Root Pills do cure sick head- ache in the sensible way by removing the constipation or sick stomach which caused them. Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills are purely vege- table, free from any harmful drug, safe and sure. When you feel the headache coming take ‘9 formally open for traffic. The ballast- ing crews were working from Bethany to Lindsay and had been handicapped somewhat in their operations owing to unfavorable weather conditions. In answer to a query regarding the taking over of the line by the C.P.R. the reporterjwas informed that it would take place as soon as the finishing touches were completed. The C.P.R. was most anxious to get‘the line in operation. f v SPRING WHEAT SEEDING '. In Manitoba, 50.13; in Saskatche- [ wan 71.54, and in Alberta, 61. 26 per ’cent of the seeding of spring wheat iwas completed by the end of April, Uni of total seeding done, the per centage proportions were Manitoba, 36.63; Saskatchewan 49.30, and A1- ! berta 51.50. In regard to the time table for passenger service on the line, the Post was given to understand that it was being drafted at present. Any sched- ule of a probable time table that had Leen published was merely guess work on the part of its authors. jooooodoooooo‘oooooooogo Nearly 14 per. cent of the hay and clover meadows have been winter killed and their average condition is represean by 74.63, for all Canada, the figures for Quebec being 50, for Ontario 8036, for Manitoba 88.49, for Saskatchewan 87.82, for Alberta 95.60 and for British Columbia 97.92.

COCHRANE TO VISIT LINDSAY Ottawa, May 2-0.-The Hon, Frank Cochrane, Minister of Railways, re- turned on Saturday night from a tour of inspection over the Intercolonial Railway, the Prince Edward Island Railway and a large stretch of the Transcontinental Railway. His trip was shortened by his anxiety to re- turn to Ottawa to consult Premier Borden and Cabinet in regard to the successor to Judge Mabee. The ap- pointment will be made this week Mr. Cochrane will leave shortly for an inspection trip all over the canals of Quebec and Ontario, and about July 1, will go west. He will inspect the Hudson Bay Railroad and is planning to take canoe trip along the proposed route to the bay. Mr. Cochrane would also like to familiar- ize himself with the conditions of navigation on the bay and straits and may return to Montreal by one of going north to the bay, arriving in the Governmmt steamers which are the fall in time for the session. It is understood Mr. Cochrane is planning to send an expert engineer north to the bay very shortly in or- der to lay out docks and terminals for the new road. It is understood Mr. Cochrane will inspect the Trent Canal and mil 1 9.1- so pay a short visit to Lindsay APPLICATIGNS F {3R FENIAN RAID ERAMS Ottawa, May 16.â€"-Applications for Fenian Raid grants continue to-pour into the Militia department, and in- dicate a misapprehension of the qualâ€" ifications nzcsssary to secure the $100. Included in the thousands who are laying claim to the money are many in the lower Provinces where simply the proclamation was read, without the troops going to the front.

Mr. Scott pointed out the fault! with some roadways was in allowing the mud to accumulate and stated that a sweeper put on a road will clean out the ruts which if after are! filled with gravel and rolled,can be: kept in splebdid condition. He also; said that roads in Lindsay are not; high and round enough at the cantrei If Kent street and others were sprink-z led and then have the sweeper put on} them once a week, the dust nuisance1 would be done away with. ‘ When asked about the. durability of the sweepers, Mr. Scott stated that they would last about three years. A sweeper with a steel broom will last longer than a fibre broom. To renew the broom, it would cost $50 for a steel and $45 for afibre.
