GENERAL. i"fiiiii'jiAi0 ARCH TORONTO General business at Toronto is hard- ly as active at the present time as merchants had anticipated. In some lines there is reported an improvement, while in others the movement. is limit- ed. Dealers, however, are hopeful that the turn for the better will come soon. The number of business failures is smaller than for several weeks, and the prevailing sentiment whas improved. Many weak houses have been wooded out, and the easy money market will be of advantage to manufacturers. The export. trade at Canada for the past fiscal year was the largest. in her his- tory. The value of total shipments was $121,013,000 as against $118,504,000 in 1893, the previous largest year for exports. But while our imports in 1893 were $129,074,000 they were only 8118,011,000 last. year, an indication of economy which gives the impression that we paid off foreign obligations to some extent at least. . . . The grain mar- keta have been quiet during the week. There is little or no export demand, and prices are lower for wheat in sym- pathyJ with the decline in Britain and the nited States. While wheat in Ontario is llc. to IN. lower than at Detroit, a circumstance accounted for only by the fact that while the supply in this province is lugs, there is a scarcity across the rder. Coarse grains are also lowor in many instances. he money market " easy, with irime commercial paper discounted at (i, and call loans on choice security ruling at 41-2 per cent.

Locked up far {in yous. life! The volume of thde at Montreal shows no material increase since a week ago, though in one or two special lines there has been some improvement of demand in a moderate way, Sugars have recovered somewhat from their long continued dulness, and an advance of an eighth of a cent. has been es- tablished by refiners, who claim that their figures are still considerably be- low the New York level. Teas and other "staple lines of groceries re- main dull. Dry goods orders are re- ported moderately numerous, but are as a. rule small 'n extent, and show that careful buying is being practised. Dealers in raw wool, are not apparent- ly anxious to push sales, in view of the unsatisfactory state of woolen manufac- turing interests, and a second cargo of Cape wool, for Montreal account, just arrived in Boston, is likely to go into store in that city. Boot and shoe man- ufacturers are now making active de- livery of spring foob-wear, on orders booked during the fall and winter, but are not very large buyers of leather at the moment. alues in this latter line, however, tend to strengthen in T't'tttlg with the general strong tone of t e hide market. Pig iron, bars, ete., still move slowly, but for plates of various kinds there is more enquiry, with considerable stiffening of prices; Canada plates have advanced 20 cents a box, and of certain sizes there is de- cided scarcity, coke tins and Terne plates are also in limited supply and dearer. Cut nails have been reduced 15 cents a keg as a result of the man- ufaeturers' meeting last week. Dairy products are quiet; some few parcels of new fodder cheese have come to hand, realizing 10 to 10 1-4c. it is said, but these figures would not hold were any quantity to offer. The money market is unaltered, call funds being readily available at 4 per cent. in all Ilu,',',',",", ters, and the discount rate 6 to per cent $8,193,000 and Dominion notes $15,538.- 000, as against 818,882,000 a year ago.

Deposits on demand decreased $0500.- 000 during January. while depoelts af- ter notice increased $327,000. The total deposit account was $193,452,000 as against 8188,740,000 on January 81, 1896. The note circulation on the last day of the last month was $30,208.15? as compared with 888,095,784 on De- cember 31, and 829,429,065 on January 31, 1896.

The population of Canada as estimat- ed by the Department of Agriculture for the past fiscal year is 5,125,436. It does not follow that these are the ac- curate figures, but they are consider- ed to be approximately correct. The es- timated population in 1891 was 4,843,256. and the census showed that the actual figures were 4,833,239. The estimates therefore came within ten thousand of the count. Taking into consideration the influx of population that ought to follow the mining . development it is considered that it is not too much to expect that when the census is taken four years hence the country will con- tain at least five and a halt millions. The estimates that are made from year to year are based on the immigration returns and the average birt and mortality rate:. The figures since the last census. given from year to year, are as follows: EVERYTHING WRONG. Life is a. fraud all the way through.

A despatch from Ottawa sayr.-The official returns of the trade of Canada tor the last fiscal year were made pub- lio a couple of months ago. Fuller de- tails are, however, obtainable from the statements since compiled for Parlia- ment by the Customs Department. The tables showing the movement or our trade with our various foreign custom- era are perhaps the most interesting They show that Great Britain is pre- eminently Canada's best market at pre- sent. Our sales to the Mother Coun- try during the last fiscal year were50 per cent. larger than our sales to the United States. As recently as 1889 the Americans were our beat purchasers. Their hostile legislation, coupled with the efforts of the Canadian Government to develop British trade, has welded the commerical interests of England and Canada more solidly together. .Ger- many and France buy comparatively little from us, and do an increasing trade with their own goods in this country. Indeed, it is the German manufacturer who is the bete noir of Canadian producers as the evidence before the Tariff Commission has shown. We import largely from Japan and China, chiefly teas and silks, put as yet have not found anything like a corresponding trade for Canadian goods in those countries. The coun- tries that buy from us more than they sell here are Great Britain, Newfound- land, South America, and Australia.
