OVER 2 MILLION PAC THE FISHERIES TREATY United States Has Not Passed Necessary Legislation and Canada May Withdraw. A despatch from Ottawa says: It now looks as if Canada is about to withdraw from the international fisheries treaty concluded with the United States in 1908. It will be remembered that, under the terms of the treaty, regulation govern- ing the fisheries in international waters were drawn up by the com- missioners, Professor Prince for Canada and Professor Starr Jordan for the United States. These re- gulations were to become effective after concurrent proclamations by the Governor-General of Canada and the President of the United States. The necessary legislation to enable the proclamation - was passed by the Parliament of Can- ada during the session of 1910, re- ceiving the unanimous approval of both political parties. The Ameri- can authorities have failed, how- ever, to pass the legislation re- > quired to put the treaty into 'effect, After the regulations had been drawn -up it was found that cer- tain interests, notably in the State of Michigan and on' the Pacific coast of the United States, were opposed to their promulgation. These interests desired changes, in the regulations to harmonize with their views. representations to that end were made to Ottawa, "but it ' is now known that Canada .months ago positively declined to accept the suggested modifications, and it is generally supposed that the Gov- ernnient has served or is about to serve the United States authorities with notice of withdrawal from the treaty altogether. In any event it is mo longer a secret that the Ca- nadian authorities are resolved to not accept the changes proposed by the United States.

Like 'the' Irish man with™ the bill-of-fare printed in Freoch, 'he. cast "hig eye -down the list until he saw something familiar,' aad said. "I guess I'll have some of those," pointing to a preférred stock, such 'as some bond dealers carry for some cli- ents of a semi-speculative turn. "Cer- tainly," said the broker. "Those shares constitute a very fair speculative invest. ment with good prospects of apprecia- tion." But as the company is not yet firmly established we do not recommend them to investors who cannot afford to lose their capital, nor to those who wish somgthing ' that is readily salable. As the company 1s small and the demand. for the st not great, it is possible to sell only. when orders such as yours come in." As most reputable bond dealers and investment stock brokers are equally frank with their customers and clients, Smith was no. mora fortunate than the average investor would be. It is lucky it was so in his case, for he at once changed his mind as to his decision. "I'm afraid it won't do," he said hast ily. "The money I have to invest I hold as a trustee of an estate, and have to turn it over to the heirs when they come [of age. The eldest will be twenty-one in eighteen months and the two others at intervals of two years or so after. So you see I shall have to turn "over the securities or cash at that time, and as I have to give each his third of the 610, 000 in cash I would prefer to put the money in a bank and not worry over. it. Unfortunately, however, -the income at five per cent is little enough to support them, although they are at work and earning a little. I cannot, of course, buy anything that is at all risky, and I must also have something that I oan gell at any time, at just about what I paid for it.
