DURHAM UPPER TOWN Durham, Ont. or Giiied Theemuts of the Canadian High Commissioner to secure an opportunity for Canadian packets to tender for Imperial Admiralty suppliesare likely toprove successful. The authorities, have notified him that the Lordsof the Admiralty "will be pleased to invite.) any Canadian firm of packers who' may apply and who may prove; ability to carry out the contract, to? tender." Tenders for [iiiii'i,iii) supplies are only received from ftrmtri/ whose position is above reproach, 1 whose goods have proved suitable for I use in the navy, and who are able to prove to the satisfaction of the Admir. l alty authorities that they have facilities for carrying out their contract. There l, should be more than one Canadian , house in a position to meet these re. ' quirements. and take advantage of 1 this excellent opportunity to engage [ in an important trade , A Year’s Trade in Montreal. The report of the year's trade coming I into Montreal harbor has a double significance. showing " it does not only the vast increase in the national trade of the year, but also the ttndeni. able manner in which Montreal has established itself as the national port, thereby justifying the action of the Government last session in rendering substantial assistance to the harbor commissioners in improving and de. veloping the facilities of the port. The year's collections Were nearly 4024 of the total customs revenue of the Dom. inion, the figures being $8,188,900 as against $6,992.300 in 1897, or an in. crease of 8i,200,000, notwithstanding the reductions of British goods. Col. lector White declares that "The mere increase in revenue gives a very in. adequate idea of the growth of the work of the port." There were no less than 180,879 entries during tie year. an increase of nearly 20,G)0over 1897. In spite of this, there has been no increase in the clerical staff, and the expenditure for salary ard con- tingencies is nearly 315,00) less than it was in the early nineties. Trade With Great Britain. As the following despatch appears In the Mail-Empire, it will probably be accepted as a correct by Opposition- ists; friends of the Government will have no desire to question its eorreetness:--"The first fruits of the new Canadian tariff are evidenced in the Board of trade returns " 1898 which shows increased exports to Canada of 10 per cent. The chief in. 1 creases were, cotton piece goods $440, 1000, earthenware it150,000, woollens $345,000, cutlery Kr80,000, spirits v$170, ooo, while tin plates decreased (i-iii',:?),.'.",, Some lines of Canadian ' exports to Great Britain have decreas- l ed. the chief being cheese, $2,000.00), i animals 81,500,000, .tamber85,000,000, while wheat and flour have increased ‘32,]00JXD, bacon 82,300,000, and) batter81,100,000. The last month or' l two ot the year however show that the I growth of trade is rapidly increasing. l Sixty Five Per. Cent Speak English. 1 In the course of one of its periodical squibs against the Government's immigration policy, the Mail-Empire observes "It is remarkable that the Government does not try to get out some British settlers. If the retired statesman who are acting as emigra- ‘tion agents over the water would do 1 something, we might divert to Canada 5; at least a portion of the stream of em- ;igration now making for Australia." l The best answer to this may be found 1 in the last Imperial emigration returns l which bring the figures up to the end i of November These tigures show l that during the first eleven months of i the year, there were 3,000 more emi. igrants left British ports for Canada I than for the Cope, and 6,000 more than ilelt for Australia; the totals being . English " 86t, Scotch 1,687, Irish 853, or a total of 17,400. Thousands of lAnglo Saxons have also moved into the Canadian North West from the l United States, and when the returns I tor the year are completed, it will be I found that about 65% of the total num- berof imigrants that have ame into Canada this last year, are of Angle l Saxon origin. The Hail-Empire might l favor its readers with a few facts oc- leasiomtlly. <le ci',itttltattt gums Council me: Jan. 9.lt. Muuuen we“.
