Green (f% m TRADE WITH JAMAICA JEQXJIEEMENTS OF THE MAE- "^ KET IN THAT ISLAND. Splendid Chance for Canadian Farmers to Build Up a Trade. The present agitation in Jamaica or ei tiler the federation or the lommercial union of that colony witli tlie Dominion of Canada is Forthy of serious consideration in â- Jiis country. The Jamaica plant- ers desire to find a free market in -anada for their sugar, lemons, cr- inges, bananas, codec, ginger, 5)ices, logwood, etc., in return for Thich they would purchase from us lats, split peas, soda and fancy bis- aiits, tin and enamelled ware, boots aid shoes, organs, furniture, agri- ultural implements, ropes and cord- ige, paints, lumber and other build- ng material, metallic roofing, can- led goods, live stock, butter, hecse, tallow, bacon, hams, flour jid other food stulls and manufac- .ures. According to the report of lie Committee of the Royai Ja- uaica Society of Agriculture and iJommerce and Merchants' Exchange: 'The natural conditions of the re- ipective colonies are all in favor of nutual trade. Each country is the latural complement of the other in latural products, and it is high lime that the feeling which has so ong existed in favor of improved irade relations should bear good re- iults." The principal drawback to the interchange of commodities is ihe lack of a rapid, up-to-date, fre- juent and direct steamboat service. The direct trade between the two jountrics has largely incica.sed since the advent of the Canada-Jamaica line from St. John, N. B., but this new service, although a decided im- provement, is but a monthly, one, :arried on In far from up-to-date steamers, occupying from eight to ten days between St. John and Kingston, Jamaica. THE EXTENSION OF TRADE. In live stock and live stock pro- ducts is of particular interest to axe, and -In tliis connection I beg to submit a letter received from Mr. SV. Simpson MacCoi'mack, of King- itou, Jamaica, dealing with the re- }Uirements of their markets in these lines. Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 4, 1902. Dour Sir, â€" Your esteemed favor of Vtarch 4th last was duly received, md I beg to thank you for inform- ition contained tliereiu. At this iime butchers' sheep were too high, ind the season too bad to import, i am now. however, in commuuica- ,ion with Messrs. Gordon and Iron- tides, of Monti-eal, and hope to get lown a carload, connected to Ilali- ax, October boai. I note your remarks regarding the ligh qualit.v of Canadian bacon, mtter, and cheese and the desire )f your department to es-tablish a uarket in these islands for these )roducts. You also cxpro.s.sed the lope* of hearing from me "from time .o time, telling what the outlook is or the building up of the trade be- ;wcen Canada and Jamaica." 1 would state that consiuerable at- '.enlion is now being directed to the luperiority of Canadian products 3.V importers licrc, but I regret to lay that Canadian producers ap- >ear di.<-inclincd to bring themselves uto line of our markets, conditions IS to size, packing and promptitude n filling orders and general exist- ng conditions. Butter.â€" What is required is (1) ;hoice creamer.v put up in one half, >ne and live pound tins, also in kegs >f about 34 lbs., costing about 19 •.o 23 cents per lb. f .o b. Halifax; ilso good dair.v butter, put up in imall ten lb. tubs, and 24 lb. kegs, josting from 15 to 18c per lb. f.o.b. Halifax. Cheese.â€" Large sizes are not salo- ible. but a lively demand exists for ;he best ciualitios, in strong boxes jf four, weighing about ten lbs. ;ach; also singles put up separately in strong boxes weighing about 18 lo 25 lbs. each. Bacon. â€" Slips from 8 to 14 lbs., also sides- from 40 to 48 lbs., and middles (cut from side) of from 18 to 24 of superior mild cured, extra lean selections (pea fed), will always find ready sale, and there is also a fair demand for mild cured, rolled spiced breakfast bacon and slips from 2 J to 8 lbs., boneless (firm). Hams. â€" Mild cured extra lean (pco. fed), also sniokod and pale dried, from 8 to 12 lbs. A nmrket would also be found for picnics (shoulder haans) from 5 to K' Ihs . and what ore known as Bath Chops 3 to 4 lbs., also have a demand. l{efcrring to the last vwo mention- ed articles there should not be the least difflcully in building up a di- rect trade, for 1 know as a fact that quantities of VM ».i-ticles arrive hero from .

Probably the principal and most important shippers of these goods give their attention to the British market (being of course vastly more important), but if you cotilil induce, perhaps, s(mie of the smaller men to direct their attention to the details of the re(|uirements of this market for the articles as referred to above, I am satisfied that the consump- tion, demand, and the importance WOULD BE A REVELATION. 1 woujd mention that the Fickford and Black steamer wh-.ch sails from Halifax on the 15th of each month, is accommodated with refrigerated cold storage, enabling printed but- ter and roU?= to be shipped. I can- not too strongly Impress upon you the importance of this market to your dairymen, and I am prepared to give every assistance to • appi-e- ciably place their products, provid- ed, as previously mentioned, they are prepared to mei-t the market on local conditions. Horses. â€" You refitrred to these in your letter. There is, however, no demand for heavy stock. What is required is lightly built cai'riage horses of not less tnan 15.2. I shall be glad to hear from you on this subject, and also on the gen- eral sub.iects of this letter. Pro- ducts and manufactures must always be riuoted f.o.b. I think there should be hardl.v an.y difficulty in your finding some responsible pro- ducers to take up the matter. Again thanking you for your pre- vious communications, and hoping that tlii."* may lead to some practical results, I am. Yours trul,v, (Sgd.) AV. Simpson MacCormack. A few planters interested in the improvement of live stock on the islands of Jamaica, St. Kitts and Trinidad, have imported pure-bred horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultr.v in limited numbers from Nova .Scotia, but as these animals require to be acclimatized after their arrival in the Indies, many of them aie lost. On this account buyers do not care to pay very high prices, but they find that the imported an- imals which survive acclimatization effect a great improvement in their herds and (locks, nnd Ihoy declare that they will persevere until the standard of l(]uality is greatly ele- vated. Since 1897 some four or five horses, (Clydesdales), twenty-five cattle (Shortliorna, Horefords and Ayrshii-es), one hundred sheep (Shropshires and Southdowns), and about one-half dozen pigs, (Berk- shires and Tamworths), have been sent to the West Indies hv tlie Nova Scotia Government. These were all pure-bred stock, but a considerable amount of ordinary stock has been shipped. For the first 11 months of lOOl, according to the reports of the .steamboat agents, there were 05 horses, 30 cattle, 1.200 sheep, nine swine. and 12.5 coops of poultry shipped from Halii'ax to the West Indies. There is now fairl.v good steamboat accommodation from Hal- ifax, boats running twice a month regularly, and although this trade is .vet only in 'its infanc.v. it would seem to be capable of considerable development. According to the newspapers, a fast line of steamers i between Canada and Jamaica is 1 likely to bo subsidized in tlio near future, which would no doubt great- i ly inci-case trade between the two colonies.

Nothing' Like It Has Ever Been Heard of â€" In Newfoundland Where the Story Comes From It Has Created a Profound Sensa- tion. Cottci's Cove, New Bay. Newfound- land, Oct. 27.â€" (Special.)â€" This pjirt of the i.sland has been thorouglily aroused by the most miraculous cure of a man named Joseph Boon. For eight years this man had been ailing and for seven years of this time he was unable to work. He had Back Ache and Kidne.v Complaint, in fact he was all pains and aches. He had been treated from time to time by several doctors and although he always carefully attended to their several prescriptions exactly as or- dered by them, he got no relief, but was slowly growing wor.se. Finally he went to the hospital where -he remained for seven months, unl.v to he sent home as an incura- ble ca.se. He has tried every remedy he could hear of, electric belts, liniments, oils and otlier medicines but all of no avail. No one e^"er thought be could ever be well again. However, one day he picked up a newspaper containing an account of how Mr. Richard Quirk, of Fortune Harbor, had been curod of Lumbago by Dodd's Kidney Pills. After read- ing this Mr. Boon made up his mind to try this remedy and at once be- gan a ti'eatment. He used altogether twenty-one boxes before he was able to go to work again, but now he is able to attend to his daily duties as strong and vigorous as any man along the coast. Mr. Boon is a fislierman and is at present engaged at lobster fishing with no tliought whatever of his old time Back Ache and other pains. The people here regard this cure as little short of miraculous. ITo other possssaee the exquisite flavor of the gen-utee CEYLON BLACK TEA.
