LONDON, Sept, 2d,—The British and French armies In Fronce and Flanders, ih the first two days of whnt looks to be tbe opening of a "big push," hnve taken several large "nibbles" ont of the German lines between Verdun and the Belglun count, capturing 20,000 wounded prisoners and trenches along a total length of about U0 miles, drlv ing their way through tbe German front for a distance of nearly threo miles. A large amount of war mute- rial hns also been taken, but has not yet been inventoried. The French record the taking of mnny field guns while the British statement reports tbe capture of nine guns. Mnny machine guns are among the booty taken by tlio allies. At the snme time tbe British war ships and French and Belgian batteries have bombarded tbe German post tions on the coast between Zeebrugge and Niouport. The offensive which resulted in tbe French and British vie torios began Saturday morning. For soveral week*-, there has boen almost .Incessant bombardment, with big guns, which late last week increased Jn intensity, particularly in tbe sectors where lbo luffttitry attacks took place. Biggest Gain Since Marne Battle Tho French, who have the most imporlant gain to their credit, made their chief altfu-U against Ibe. German lines around Perthes, Beausejour and Sulp- pes in Champagne, where in December they made a considerable gain of ground. Saturday's attack, however, backed by a tremendous artillery fire, gave them possession of more territory than they bad retaken from tbo Germans wince tbe lattur dug themselves lu after tbe battle of tlie Mnrno, a little moie than a year ago. According to the French account the Germans were driven out of their trenches over a front of 15 miles, varying in dentil from two-thirds of a mile to 2Kt miles. The French\In this engagement on Saturday captured 113.000 unwoimded prisoners, which number has been sinco increased by the Frnnco-BiitiHh forces to 20.000. Apparently the advantage Is being pressed still further as the French communication makes only the briefest mention of the operations! The Importance of this gain lies iu the fact that every yard of ground taken In this region weakens tho German positions around Verdun, from whioh the Germans might be oompelled to retire should the French succeed In making any further advance British Attack Complete Success The French also have regained the village of Souchez and trenches east of tbe labyrinth in tlie Arras district, which was the scene of much heavy fighting early In the year. There the Germans had built what they considered almost impregnable fortifications. The attack was made, in co-operation Willi tho British, who attacked on either side of La Basseo canal. The attack to the'soptb of the canal was, Field Marshal French reports, a complete success. Trenches five miles ip width and about 4000 yards in depth Were taken at tbis point. . This push gives tho British possession of the road from Lens to La Bas- see, which was used by tbe Germans for moving troopH and supplies north and south, and threatens to outflank J the German troops which hold the town of Lens. Hill 70, one of the positions taken on tiie road, is less than a mile directly north of Lens, while IJullubh, whioh also fell into the hands of the British is at tbe ond of the road near La Bos- see. It Is only 12 miles from Hullueh to Lille, the capital of northern France. Drew Hun Reserves North of the canal tho British, although they fought all day yesterday* were unable to hold the ground gained and had to fall back to trenches they hnd left in the morning. The attack, however, accomplished one purpose. According to Sir John French German reserves were sent to check this move- thus giving tbe British south of the canal an opportunity to consolidate their new positions unmolested and tho French were enabled to make further progress. A somewhat similar move took place to tlie north and south* ofthe Menln road, east of Ypres, and the results were the same- North of the road tbe British were unable to hold tbo ground taken while to the south lhey gained about fiOO yards of the German trenches and consolidated tho ground won. So far it ia reported the British took 2fi00 prisoners, with nine guns and "a» considerable number of machine guns."

THE FRANCO-BRITISH VICTORY IN THE WEST I The future will make clear the Btrategical value of the advance Saturday and Sunday of the British and French forces along a front aggregating 20 miles and the capture of 20,000 prisoners and much material. Time also will tell If the successful attacks mark the commencement of the general and prolonged offensive for which the world has been waiting. The advance has, however, proved itiui the strong Gorman defenses, constructed behind every obstacle that modern military science has devised, are not impregnable. It has shown that the allies' artillery when supplied with sufficient ammunition can open the way for the Infantry and that the enemy is unablo, after the infantry has advanced, to prevent it by fire from positions outside the zone which has been battered by the Franco-British cannon from organizing tho ground which has been won. The allies' troops at thc front have felt no doubt as to their ability to advance when the circumstances became favorable for an attack; the Germans have declared that their steel and concrete defenses could be held by "a caretaker and his wife." Tho victories of tbe past two days prove that the allies were not over-confident and that the German claims were illfound- ed. Tho result is all to the moral as well as the material advantage of the allies and it is greatly to the detriment of the morale of the Germans, whose loss in prisoners as well as ground Is one of the greatest that they have suffered on the western front. BULGARIA'S POSITION OF ARMED NEUTRALITY The Bulgarian situation looks more favorable, although thc declaration to Greece that mobilization was ordered because of a fear of an attempted in Vaslon by the Austro-German forces gives rise to the question as to why this explanation was not made earlier. It would seem to have been thc part of wisdom for Bulgaria to have stated its position before arousing thc fear of Rumania, Greece and Servia and ■exciting the people of thoso countries, There is one possible answer to the Bulgarian question that does not seem to havo been given any attention, Bulgaria's position of armed neutrality, if any agreement has been made with the Turko-Teutonic alliance, may be notice to Greece and Rumania that they must also remain neutral or pre pare for attack from Bulgaria. There is just a possibility that the Austro- Germans and Turks have induced Bulgaria to stand with uplifted sword over the heads of its neighbors, threatening to use the weapon If they enter tho war beside the allies. BILLETING PLAN DEPENDS ON MILITARY CONSIDERATIONS The tentative proposal of Sir Sam Hughes to billet new recruits this winter in small centres in which they are raised, provided that a sufficient number enlist at each place, will be popular if it is found advisable to put it into effect. The final decision upon the question will depend, of cour upon whether the inquiries which the minister of militia is now making in dicate that the plan would be advan tageous from a military point of view. That is a matter for the military men to decide. Some of the advantages of the plan ■which will appeal to the layman are that it would enable the men to spend a portion of the time of training among their friends in their home towns, th- presence of the troops would stlmu late recruiting, and it would prove a factor In the commercial welfare of the places in which the men were billeted. But the chief point Is that of general military considerations. Upon that question the decision of the militia department will be based. possible. The data quoted is of general bearing and covers conditions districts which specialize ln the production of one chief article of consumption as well as those which engage entirely in general farming. The figures show that the average inual value of the food, fuel, oil and shelter per family used hy 483 families islted was (595.08 and that of this amount $421.17 was furnished by the farm. The average value of the farm house as a residence was $125. so that the balance was practically all rcpre-, Rented by food and wood used for fuel. [ In other words, the farmer produced all hut less than 30 per cent of tho necessities named. The investigation showed that the produce raised for home consumption mado tho difference between a bare Iving and a comfortable one. <3> <$><$> <$> <8> <§> $» $> ® $ <g, $ <«> -$> & <8> ,<8> COMMUNICATIONS <3> <•><*"-$•<$>, $> ■$<$> 3> <$> $> $, $ $> $ <$><$><$> 4> SAYS RUTHEN1ANS GROAN UNDER AU8TRIAN TYRANNY To the Editor of The Dally News: Sir: May we take the liberty of writing a few words regarding the statement of 140 races under Russian empire which appeared in your issue of Sept. 21, page 4. When reading the article, through wc noticed that the Polish Courier had mentioned in its 'statement that there arc 20.000,000 of Little Russians who formerly were a ': of the Polish kingdom.

Canadians generally, without regard to political views, will welcome tho news that Sir Wilfrid Laurier Is expected to leave the hospital, at which he recently underwent an operation, today, and join In wishing that he may speedily return to complete good health. "* r T"r- It Ik significant that among the mosl persistent snipers at the Dominion government's war policies and the loudest opponents of any proposal that the people should decide between the government and Its opposition critics are newspapers owned nnd directed by Hon. Frank Oliver and Hon. George P. Graham, who were members of the late Laurier cabinet. The British and French have advanced on a 20-mile front nnd taken 20,000 prisoners, the Russians are either advancing or holding the enemy in check, the Italians have taken Austrian positions and Bulgaria denies that it proposes to Join thc Germanic alliance. If there are any pessimists left that should hold them for a day or two. The traveling fruit packing expert who has heen appointed by Hon. Martin Burrell, Dominion minister of agriculture, to give Instruction in packing in districts which are too sparsely settled to permit the formation of packing schools by the provincial government should do useful work for British Columbia. It is essential to the success of tbe fruit growers that their produce should be well packed. the Russian government, are not Russians at all, for they are a race quite distinct in origin from the Muscovites. This unhappy nation, whose country once a flourishing, self-governing and 'autonomous state, had united with the great Russia by *he treaty of Pere- gaslow In the year 1654. The Ukrainian 'nation was politically divided between European Russia and Austro-Hungary later on. Extensive Ukrainian colonies are also to be found in Canada, the United States, Argentine and Siberia. Tn Russia there are 30,000,000 Ukrainians, 4,000,000 In Galicia and 50,000 in the Austrian crownland of Bukowlna, about 500,000 in Hungary and about the same number In Canada, the Unit- led States and South America. In Europe they inhabit a large territory extending from thc Carpathian mountains along the northern shore of the Black sea to the region north of the Donets. In Galicia, Bukowlna and Hun. gary the Ukrainians are known under the local names of Ruthenes or Ruthe- nians. This enormous tenographical mass is now rapidly awakening to national consciousness. They are organizing an appeal to all disinterested men; they wish to see public opinion lightened as to the brutal tyranny which Is being used to them to the shame of the whole of humanity. The Ukraine enjoys the distinction of being the cradle of Russian history. The earliest records show Ukrainian princl pallties already fairly strongly organized and in close touch with the western clvilzatlon. -Kicw was the political oontre of the country after two centuries of independence the incursions |and attacks of various tribes prevented the formation of a powerful Ukrainian ate. Their name in those days was Rusj. Gradually the political axis was displaced toward the north, the land if the Muscovites.

Women's Work in War. Woman has found her place in this war as she never found it before. The woman* suffrage question has disappeared as completely as the Irish question, and women are finding an outlet for their energies in another direction. Thus we find women like Lady Byron, Mrs. Flora Anna Steele, Mme. Clara Butt and Mrs. Pankhurst marching at the head of forty thousand women through the streets of London, demanding, not the vote, but the right to work for the nation. How different it all is from a year or two ago? How much nobler than the smashing of cabinet ministers' windows and the slashing of beautiful works of art. It may be that the war will bring votes for women in Britain nearer, as it-certainly will bring the settlement of the Irish question nearer, than could ever have been the case without.it.—Sydney Morning Herald, Australia, VALUE TO FARMER OF HOME GROWN PRODUCE One of the improvements which have taken place in the economic position of ranching in Kootenay and Boundary during recent years has been due to the increased amount of products for their own consumption which farmers are producing but there Ii room for further progress In this re Bpect.

The China aster, for instance, was regarded In our boyhood days as a pretty little flower for a bed or border and there were few varieties hut now it has he- come one of the finest of nur gard. flowers and deserves a flower show bv ilself like roses and chrysanthemums. The dahlias have wonderfully Increas-M jn variety and in thc height or these plants rather than the size of the flowers since boyhood dava fn Eng* land where we recall a few plants or hushes not three -feet high gracing the lawn. Now in Nelson in a garden of dahlias near the railway station, every plant is over f* ve feet and some are nearly ten feet high with every color represented, including those nf the cactus and Japanese varieties. Truly the dahlia deserves also a flower show. We presume the next display will be a chrvsanthemum show. Tn regard further to the extraordinary development of flower size color and varietv T was struck on my late visit to England by the great size the modern violet had attained violci like pansles and pansies like gigantic violets and' as for pansles such varieties and kaleidoscopic changes of color and form and such. sizes, two to three inches across Again the little hegoniai an inconspicuous little green house flower In former days, now fs a magnificent scarlet flower, an outdoor plant nnd a splendid bed and mass of color by itself—and so with many other flowers. One of the main attractions and glories of Nelson is its gardens. May they grow and Increase. Fine Art Department Turning -from the galaxy of flowers and fruits to the display of fine arts, there were some good water color sketches of this country and England; also some careful copies and studies by students, school children and others in color pencil and clay, and some fine china, paintings, in this connection wo would suggest tho importance of encouraging children and students to sketch and draw directly from nature and natural object, and avoid or rather indulge very sparingly in the fascination of copying the works of others. Copies have their use, but in many caso little more than teaching a student how to sharpen his pencil or mix a few colors. When we go out in llfo our talents are not called for to make bad copies, often of inferior pictures, but in original work—in sketching, drawing or painting natural objects In original design and the like. The crudest but honest effort at a sketch from some natural object is worth all the elaborate copies of pictures of lion heads and Venus' torso, etc., or chro- mos of flowers or fruit and, worst of all, of machine-made cheap pictures, If I were called upon to award prizes I would favor every time the crudest original sketch in preference to the most elaborate copies. Children and young people should be encouraged to draw, paint and model the things and objects they meet with in every-day life and which excite their taste and interest, On their way to school they might gather some common leaves or flowers, the larger ones, usually the bettor, of which there are abundance In our lanes, such as the thimble berry, Indian club, skunk cabbage, maples, cottonwood and others, und bo encouraged to draw these in the classroom; and for flowers, hollyhocks, foxgloves and the larger and simpler varieties. If they have a taste for animals their pets or birds, butterflies, etc. may be attempted; and in the summer nd fall sketches of mountains, lakes ,nd the scenery around—anything so long as It is an object lesson—not a mere servile copy of the often bad work f someone else, or a* caricature of tlie work of some good original artist. Mineral Display Prom the fine art department, turning to the very creditable display of mining minerals we were particularly Interested In the masses of white zinc crystals and stalactitic masses from the zinc discovery at Salmo. The white crystals arc especially fine, tho finest I have ever seen, and the sta titic aggregations, like bunches of grapes or what geologists cull botryoi- dal (grape) deposits, was specially interesting, showing that this crystalline secondary deposit, very like deposits of botryoldal chalcedony o agate in cavities, and some lime sta! actltes or stalagmites In caves, was deposited by water, hot or cold, probably the former, which, percolating through original deposits of black jack, or rosen-zinc, dissolved that mineral and carried the solution down into open cavities in the rock and rode- poaited it in the altered chemical and crystalline form in which it is today found in such unusually large quantities in the mine at Salmo. The ease with which the usually refractory zino mineral can be treated when is this altered mineratogical form is well known and appreciated by metallurgists and the discovery bids fair to ho one of the most valuable and important in British Columbia. Another peculiarly interesting feature was that of the zinc spelter produced by the Trail smelter from an electrolytic process. There were many other good displays of copper and gold aud silver mineral and we were glad to see the handsome grey crystalline native marble represented by large, well polished slabs.

BEAR ESTIMATES SEND WHEAT DOWN Prices Fail to Hold an Early Advance. Winter Wheat Production in United States is Heavy (By Daily News Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—Bearish estimates of tho yield in domestic winter crop belt mado wheat prices yesterday fail to hold a nearly advance. The market closed heavy, % ott to % up, compared with Friday nteht, and with December at !M% to 84% and May at !)7. Oats finished n Hixtmntti down to :i liko advance and provisions unchanged to 10c higher. According1 to a well known expert here, the winter wheat crop of tho United States will amount to 047,000- Oflo bushels, a tolal that, despite an abandonment (if 2,159,000 acres, is only 3,000,000 bushels less than estimated a month ago. Announcement of the new figures led to a general rush to sell, as loiif,-- continued rains and the large acreage abandoned had caused an Impression that, the total yield would be seriously diminished. Wet weather in tlie northwest, with a forecast of more, was chiefly responsible for tiie bullish sentlmenl which set in. The movement of the crop, however, Was of such large proportions that threatened delays failed to have a lasting Influence on the market, especially after the Issuance of the hoarlnsh estimates of the yield In the winter wheat, bell.

Work on ihis winze ceased on account of water. The new tunnel, on the adit level, and the raise from it will serve the treble purpose of un watering the mine, developing further lhe ore which hns already been opened up and of providing an outlet for the ore. Near the mouth of the new tunnel will be the upper terminus of ji tramway which Victoria capitalists who have taken over the mine, are making arrangements to construct. This tramway will be approximately 13,500 feet in length and will land the ore at the Canadian Pacific railway line a little east of Tag- hum at a cost placed at about 20 cents per ton, Shipments which have been made from the mine in the past have had to bear a cost of over $4 -per ton for learning over a road which runs along a grade as high as 25 per cent". The tramway will also, U is pointed out, reduce the cost of transportation of supplies to the mine, although when heavy machinery is needed it will, of course, have to be sent up by team. Hurry Johns, consulting engineer for the mine; Frank ft. Pearce, superintendent, and A. Anderson, representative of Victoria capitalists, who have taken over the mine, last week conducted Mayor .1. J. Malone and a. representative of The Daily News through some of the chief workings of the ■property. Large Body of Ore Available. Approximately 4000 feet of development work has been carried out. The ore exposed on the main drift for an aggregate distance of about 1200 feet is opened up by raises to the surface 250 feet above. From these ore bodies 2500 tons of ore have been shipped. The ore taken put consisted of that, which ran sufficiently high in value to bear (lie burden of the heavy teaming expense, which will be reduced to about 20 cents per ton by the new tramway. The balance of ithe ore in these workings have developed In readiness for mining, it can be taken out without •further development expense directly Lhe tunnel and raise from the adit level have been completed and the tramway constructed. Mr. Johns places the amount of this ore which has been proved up at 25.000 tons, exclusive of further showings which may he discovered during sloping operations and ad. ditlonai development. The values in the ore are copper, silver and gold. Hundreds of assays from every few feet of the ore exposed have been taken. Silver Values Increase. One of the interesting features of the property is that the silver values show a substantial increase below the oxydized zone, the top of which is marked by the main drift. The silver values also lend to increase toward the end of the large ore body which has been opened up, without its end being reached, by the main drift. The face of this drift is In ore and further development will be necessary to prove its extent. , The winze from the main workings, which goes down HO feet In ore and whose collar Is at the summit of the oxydized zone, shows the heaviest vnlues in silver nearest its bottom. An average of assays gives 18.26 ounces silver, 3.30 per cent copper and -$1. in gold. Some of the assays show over 50 ounces of silver to the ton. Upraises from the main workings open up chiefly bodies of copper carbonate ore, which also carries -gold and silver. The ore at the end of the main drift is of tbe copper pyrite class. Peacock copper and bornlte—native silver—«are found in several of the veins. The mine is well equipped with solidly constructed buildings whicb include bunk house, boarding house, office, blacksmith shop, stable and compressor house In which is a steam boiler for compressor plant. It is the intention of the new owners to use electric power for the compressor from the city of Nelson plant, as it is considered that it will be more economical than steam power. Three are six claims and three fractions in the Eureka group, which is 2',4 miles by road from tbe Granite road. Ore from the Eureka won first prize for copper al tbe Nelson fair last week.

(lfl-.il) ■"Listening Post," Published for British Columbia Soldiers, Contains Poem About Old Nelson Man A copy of tho "Listening Post" lias beon received from Pte. Percy -Jones, •who Is at the fronl with the 7th battalion, by C, il. Bean of Nelson. The "Listening Post" Is a little four-page paper which is circulated among the men of the 7lh battalion and printed by permission of Lieut.-Col. V. W. Odium, commanding officer of the 1st British Columbia, regiment. It contains items of news of interest to tho soldiers and many contributions-from tho men themselves. In this copy is an anonymous poem dedicated to Sergt, Robinson, who used to be drill Instructor of lho 302nd Rocky Mountain Rangers in Nelson some years ago. The poem is as follows: ROBINSON'S ROLL CALL Sergeant Robinson call the roll, The officer said to Pat, And In salute the sergeant's hand Flow upward to his hal; lie called the roll and counted all Tho men he'd got in line, Then sald,"There should be forty, stir— There's only thirty-nine." Sergeant. Robinson scratched his head. And counted all again, lie murmured, "Forty can't bo mado From thirty-nine, t(hafs plain; One rascal is an absentee, Some scum, not worth his salt." "Find out," the captain sternly said, "And toll mo who's at fault." Sergeant Robinson in iwo twos, All smiling with delight, Came running to his officer, "If yez please, sor. it's all right; There's no ono missing, not at all, And no one's brtirlc (he rules, But I forgot lo call myself— It's you and me that's fools. The following is from another issue cf tho publication: Medical Detail's Weekly Grouse Perhaps it will be as well, for the benefit nf our numerous civilian readers, to begin by explaining what a "medical detail" is, or ought to be. A medical detail consists of a crowd of stretcher bearers called a squad when on parade, but when on a route march the brigadier calfs it an unarmed mob. Jealous regiments say the latter name is more appropriate. The bearers wero formerly picked white men from the ranks, but since tho commencement of this campaign it bas been found quite possible to train Scotchmen to perform the scientific work. It is rumored that the theory first originated when it was discovered that pack mules could do the work of pack horses, thus relieving the horses for more important work. Tho writer of this article being very much English and partly connected with tlio medical detail hopes lhat the above description of a squad will suffice. Another part of a. medical detail Is the "M. 0." (modical officer). The "M. O.'s" chief duties consist of handing out sentences to the bearers and pills with advice to the battalion. His king and country also expect him to convince a sick man that ho is not sick. When a siek man leaves tho dressing station he usually has grouch and a mixture of "No. 9's" und Christian science. When the "M. O." takes his eonslltullonal round the irenches, dear reader, you see him at his best. lie starts off accompanied by his secretary, who speaks the same language, which Is essential. In the communication trench he usually pounces on his first victim, who may be sitting eating a piece of bread smeared ovor wilh tho now famous tickler's jam. Thc following is a sample of tho conversation that takes place: ■*■— M. O."—What tho devil do you mean by having that food exposed to tho flies? The Victim—Please, sir, I was eating it, "M. 0."—Doesn't malter. Don't you know that one fly carries billions of germs? Tlio wroich whn hits now boon under the withering gaze of the ill, O.'s" eagle eye for fully two minutes murmurs "No, sir," as be collapses. "Take hife name and number and Cremate that poisoned food," says the "-M. 0." to his secretary, as he looks round for another victim. In a few minutes they reach the firing line. At the flrsl glimpse tho "M, O." staggers, is only saved from faintng by his secretary rushing lo his assistance. No, dear reader, il is not tho sight of the enemy trenches that Is the cause of all this. It is a small piece of choose that is stuck on the parapet surrounded by files. The rest of the journey.down the trench will bo told next week If I am ut ligcrty.—"The Drone." 1 Nelson News of the Dag j BEEKEEPERS MD ANNUAL MEETING Honey Label for Use of Members to Promote Uniformity in Packing is Adopted The first nnnunl meeting of the Kootenay Beekeepers association was held at tbe city hall, Nelson, on Friday at. which there was a ropresentutivo attendance of members from Nelson an-d lho surrounding districts. The report is as follows: "Tho association, organized in September, 1914, Is tho first bonkpftners' association to be formed; in British Columbia. Seventy-eight members have been enrolled. Unfortunately tho pas* season has not heen a good ono for honey production In this section of the province. Exceptionally fine and warm weather prevailed during March and April, when the hoes went ahead and promised well, hut the following threo months, May, June and July, were excessively wet and cold; consequently the clover on which wo mainly depend for our surplus honey crop, yielded hut very little nectar. Tho honey that has been taken is much darker in color than itsua], in many instances the colonies wero actually starving in Juno and would havo succumbed had they nol been fed with sugar syrup. The linnby label adopted by thc association for the use of the members to promoto uniformity In putting up honey for sale, has met' with general approval and 3,821) hava been sold to date." k The balance sheet, showing an ox- eoss of assets over liabilities of $1.1.311, was approved and passed, and tho following officers were elected for the year: Hon. president W.

WEEKLY MARKET ONE YEAR OLD Anniversary of Successful Year Held on Saturday Brings Big Business to Market Building Saturday bolng the first aninversary of the Nelson weekly market, was a day of big doings at tho building on Vernon street. A largo number of ranchers and vendors turned out and most of the available spaco was or-eu pied. The announcement of the directors that the year's business, transacted from ,week to week at the market, warranted the contemplation of the occupation of tho entire building, was favorably commented upon by both customers and vendors. It was felt that If this plan could foe put into op oration a number of trawlers would be found who would be trendy to occupy the extra space. The possibility of getting better accommodation for the butchers was considered most import' ant, and hopes wero freely expressed that this would be an accomplished fact in tho nenr future. Business was brisk. Tho splendid report of tho directors regarding the amount of business dono during the year and the great advance In volume of tho last six months over the first half of the ycar, aa estimated b.v the directors, created a spirit of optimism, in all who attended. A large quantity of produce was displayod and the stalls were all cleared by noon, tho stuff realizing satisfactory prices in most cases. Tho directors have announced that as a result of the recent visit of the fruit inspectors and the practical information that has been published, the packing, marking and displaying of tho produce has shown increasing evidence of care and attention to tho regulations regarding such matters. It is felt by all those that -are connected with tho weekly market that -its success is as- - surod.

"In tho Bpring of tho ycar, far. reasons believed to be good and sufficient, doubtless, but whioh we hopo will be made tho subject of an inqiiiry'by the houso of commons," says tbe Globe, "the firm of C. Tennant, Sons & Co., remotely eonnceetd in a family sense with a member of the cabinet, WW commissioned to buy largo quantities of sulphuric acid in America. Why no attempt was made to secure tho acid lb this country wo will not stop to inquire." . . . f The Globe asserts that the methods employed in the shipment of acid wei« so defective tliat hundreds of thousands of pounds were lost. It is asserted the ■ acid was forwarded in an Impure (ofrti*. lu iron drums which, even had the acid beon puro, would have corroded find loaked. It is said ships were damaged by tlio csca.ping acid, which released noxious gases endangering the health of tlio crew. In one ease, ftcco^dlng W this newspaper, the crew recused to leavo port and tho acid was held in New York for two months. Jwo sfWi»i- ships havo been damaged sobadly that thero was nothing to do but to hujt them at a cost of ?300,(HH>.
