The Guild did not dictate to the tobacco manufacturers what the prices should be, but they objected tc the manufacturers selling to retailers at the same terms as to wholssalers If that was done wholesalers couid not carry on business.

"They are absolutely incorrect "No." "Has it interfered with the named by the manufacturers?" "Not at all." The Guild, said Col.

Thomson, superintendent 0i the sales department of the Canada Sugar Refivers‘ Company of Montreal, deposed that if distribution through the wholesale trade _ was dispensed with the cost of sugar to the consumâ€" er would be increased. _ The _ Guild had nothing to do with the fixing of the prices of sugar or with the _rcâ€" finers‘ list of eustomers; nor _ had the Guild anything _ to do with _ the fixing of the equalized rates. Trade Needed Education. H. N. Kittson, of W. H. Gillard & Co., Hamilton, said the Guild was or ganized to educate the members of the wholesale trade as to the condition of trade, to endeavor to promote legislaâ€" tion when it was necessary, to enable members to consult one another, as to the standing of customers, and to proâ€" mote the welfare of the trade generally.

Roy was sleeping on the deck, imâ€" mediately over the boiler, and the explosion forced +*~~ planks upward on which he was lying, precipitating him into the hold, full of hissing steam and {lying coal. Fifteen tons of coal piled at one end of the boiler acted as a buffer and prevented the entire bow being blown from the boat. Captain L. E. Jones was in the wheel house and immediately threw the wheel and headed the illâ€"fated craft for the land, which fortunately afforded an ideal place to beach the craft, which was under â€" sufficiant headway to reach the shore. As soon as the nose of the boat ran upon the bank those who were able scrambled ashore, with the exception of Captain Jones, J. A.

Banks Suffer Through Inefficient Rural ; Force. Toronto, Nov. 16.â€"The frequency with which bank robberies have occurred in Ontario and Quebec of late gave rise to a discussion at the anmual meeting here yesterdiy of the Canadian Bankers‘ Asâ€" sociation.

The steamâ€" er left Haileybury at 8 o‘clock in the morning with passengers and freight, bound for Temiskaming _ station, thirtyâ€"eight miles north of Mattawa, where connection is made with the C.

Most of the passengers were men from the lumber camps coming out. _ As the chill of the northern evening setâ€" tled down on the lake the passengers gathered in the centre of the boat, close to the boilers, which accounts for the number of scalded. Within four miles of their destination an exâ€" plosion occurred followed by a rush of scalding steam to all parits of the boat, filling the cabins, which were closed in, the windows shut on acâ€" count of the weather. Lastantly all was confusion.

With regard to the shipping of tender fruits, Major H. L. Roberts, of Grimsby, said that owing to the _ dishonesty of some packers receivers would only pay such prices as they thought right for fruit, if it did not come up to its face value, and the honest packer suffered. Between the downward trend in the price of the fruit and the increase in that. of the basket, growers were rapidâ€" ly approaching an untenable position. Mr. F. G. H. Pattison, of Winona, comâ€" plained that while the Fruit Marks Act had benefited the export trade, it was almost a desd letter as regarded the bhome fruit basketidistribution. Inspecâ€" tors should be sent out into the Niagara peninsula to check dishonest packing. If Ontario fruitâ€"growers wanted â€"to get their share of the Manitoba trade they must send better stuff, said Mr. J. W. Crow, of‘the Agricultural College, at Guelph, There was very. strong criticism all over the west of the fruit packed and the method of packing. Mr. E. D. Smith deprecated the pracâ€" tice of sending the best fruit to the old country and the second grade to the west. The westerners paid five dollars a barrel, and expected to get good fruit for that, if they did not they would trade elsewhere. Mr. G. C. Casten said that a lot of trash was shipped up to Cobalt in the shape of apples, and he saw fruit offered for sale on ‘Toronto streets that a pig would be insulted at. SWEEPING VERDICT.

R. for working their employees long hours, and recommendâ€" ed that the Hailway Commission take some action as regards working hours and level crossings. The vordict was a% follows: "That Mrs. Robert Rcott cameâ€"to her death on Nov. 4th by being struck by an engine on the C. P. R. driven by James Munâ€" roe, and that her death was accidental; but that the warning was not sufficient. We find that the engineer and fireman of said engine were overworked the day previous, and had not had sufficient rest before resuming duty. We would recommend to the Board of Railway Commissioners that the matter of overâ€" working railway employees be entered into and abolished, and that the level crossings be also abolished."

Toronto despatch: The Fruit Growers‘ Association brought a very instructive and interesting programme to a close last night, A debate on packing and packages provoked an interesting discusâ€" sion. Mr. Elmer Lick, of Oshawa, affirmâ€" «d that a man must have both skill and character to be a good apple packer, An apple should be handled like an egg, and not as if it were a stone or a turnip, as was the custom with the average packer, With regard to _ character, he knew that young men would not go with the average apple gang or be associated with it, and in many cases the men could not get board because they were such a rough crew, And if packing was to be good a grower must employ men whom he could implicitly trust. The result was, as in a case he had in mind, where a man brought in 126 barrels of apples and got less than $25 for them, good a grower must employ he could implicitly trust.

The Cologne Zeitung, the most influenâ€" tial paper in the country, semiâ€"official in foreign policies, but independent resâ€" pecting internal affairs, says: "We have the right and the compreâ€" hensible desire to learn unon what tha Chaneellor rests his conviction that the errors committed will not be repeated; whether or not he has spoken with the Emperor and was empowered to give an explanation. The Chancellor has not given an answer to this question, and we can only regret that the point has not been cleared up. Reassurance on this matter was the least that could be exâ€" pected, even by those who do not desire strong measures of _ interference _ on changes of organization, bit only seek proof of an enduring _ and ~ practical change in habits heretofore indulged. Perhaps the Chancellor is not in a posiâ€" tion to give such explanation becanse, owing to the absence of the Emperor, he has not been able to discuss the matâ€" ter with him, "We must speak plainly.
