I am instructed to say that if we are rightly informed as to the feeling of the Mayor and Council upon the question of separation, that a petition largely signed by the ratepayers of Allandale entitled tn vote on aquestion of this kind will beforward- _ed for the consideration of the Council, and with the object of securing the action of the Council in the matter above alluded to.

Lam in a position to say that should the Council concur with the petitioners in acting upon the wishes of the ratepayers interested in securing the result contemplat- ed. or in obtaining the view of the ratepay- ers in the manner referred to, that arrange- ment can be made that the action _Mc- Morran vs. Barrie will stand in aheyance for such time as may may be necessary to ascertain what the public feeling is.

A -good deal-of this wool was purchased from 16c. to l8c.. and the highest rice bid for it to-day in Ontario is 13c. ot only is the bulk of last year's clip still held in Ontario by parties who a year ago expected to be able to" sell it ataprot soon after it was -purchased. but a Canadian exporter has at an American point a large lot of the 1897 clip,_ which he was able to get across the line before the Dingley duty took eect, and for which, notwithstanding the fact that it has the advantage of not having to carry the 12 per cent. duty which the 1898 clip would have to pay, there is practicazly no market in the United States, and it remains to-day unsold. The best price that can be obtained in the United States for Canada eece now is 27c. The duty is 12. per lb. . the freight charges 239., the Consular charges;&c.. and the commission for selling on the other side of the line lgc. per lb , which makes a total of . Mic per lb. for charges after the wool is purchased here. This would leave for the purchaser of theewool in Canada. reckoning on a sale at 270. in the United States, l2c. per 1b.., and that price leaves `no margin of prot for the exporter. This is the situation at present` as it is gured out by local ex- porters. So much tor washed eece. The position of unwashed is even more unprom- ising. Within the past few weeks a Toronto dealer has sold some unwashed at 180. in Boston. which, after paying the duty and freight audeother charges. makes the value of the unwashed wool in this market exact- 1y 6 1-5c. per 1b.. and yet purchases have lately been made here of unwashed at 8c. to 9c.

The re-opening services in conection with Elizabeth street Methodist church were con- tinued last Sunday by Rev. Dr. Uhambers, ` Toronto, President of the Conference, vigho * preached` morning and evening. His morn- ing subject was on the development of Spiritual life. I 1 C I ' , ! A,.,.,I `__ In the evening during his scriptural les- son he referred incidentally to- Christian Science, spiritualism and faith cures, doc- trines which he termed fakes and sug est~ ions of the devil. His sermon was gram the text, I Chron.~, iv, 9 and 10, or the life of Jabez and its lessons. He said Jabez was an honorable man. In those days men were called honorable because of beauty of character ; but nowadays that title is ocial and no guarantee of character. The honor of some men now called honorable is so at- tenuated, he said, that it cannot withstand a $100 bribe. The constituents of honor are purity of thought, truthfullness of speech, up- riqhtness of conduct and magnanimity of 4 thought. Hesaid thatfalsehoodisfar toocom- mon ;he did not mean monstrous double-joint- ed lying so much as mean, petty. social, con- temptible, professional and business lying.

The sad circumstan- cesconnectedwith the cutting off of one with such bright prospects has cast a. gloom over the community. as Mr. Baker was well liked by his pupils and. highly respect- ed by every one who knew `him. His re mains were sent home on Friday for in- terment. 4 ' Incidenmllsi l)r. Chambers referred to the _ athletic __ craze of which so many young men and boys in Toronto and elsewhere are victims. He believed in legitimate sport in all cases where the occupation of young men does not present -suicient physical ex- ercise. but when they (go so far as to think the greatest object in life is to kick a leather bag stuffed with wind as far as they can they had missed the object for which God made them.

The gentleman had not been `in Barrie for thirt -five years, hence it is need- less to say tha the town had almost none- letelv changed its `appearance during his ong absence. After a short conversation with Mr. Caldecott, Mavor Wells, who had been introduced to the visitor by Mr. George Reedy, thought. it would bea good idea to ~ have him address the business men on trade 1 matters of interest to Barrie. Mr; Caldecot * having consented to -do so, dod ers were, issued a few minutes before six oclock an- 1 nouncing the meeting.

Pae, 0.. van-up-a Mr. Caldecott was pleasantly introduced to the audience by His Worship the Mayor. and was greeted with enthusiasm. His object in speaking was the progress and ex- tension of the town of Barrie. `The long period of depression in Canada was rapidly passing away, industries ` were reviving. settlements were extending, the prairies were being broken, and'he hoped to see the day when the population of Canada would no longer be a paltry ve millions, `but fty millions. From Halifax to Vancouver. said he, there is a wave of prosperity ; but what about Barrie? Is `Barrie prospering as a town?" (A vgiee, Yes) I have the impression. said Mr. Caldecott. that dur- ing the past two or three years this town has not gone ahead very much, but is rather at a standstill, and unless enterprising men stand shoulder to shoulder and push the I town ahead, it will recede. _ -_L__.-I-._..
