Stock Exchange and the I Political Crisis. THE CANADIAN BANK FAILURE. The announcement of the failure of the Fanners' Bank of Canada has naturally not created a favourable impression in the financial district, but at the same time, it would be untrue to suggest that much importance is attached to the failure. Where the suspension becomes a matter for special regret is that it tends to query reports of the success of the agricultural season in the Dominion. These have been coming through for the last three months, and have for the most part baen of a very rosy character, but at the same time railway traffics have not altogether borne out statements to the effect that the harvest has been a generally excel- lent one, and that the agricultural com- munity is in a highly properous condition. The conclusion one naturally jumps to in the absence of full details regarding the Farmer's Bank failure, which at present are not to hand by cable, is that the institution has become embarrassed though difficulties among its clientele, which would certainly suggest that the season's profits to the fanners have not been of such a bumper character as in some Quarters there has been a disposition to assume. Of course one may be quite wrong in attributing the fail- ure to the most obvious cause, just men- tioned. The bank may have got into difficulties through speculation or through injudicious management, and its collapse may not have been in any way directly at- tributable to inability among its clients to repay advances. Until further details come to hand an explanation of the situation must be in the nature of guesswork, and therefore it is useless venturing cne with any preten- sion to finality. It is satisfactory to know the Canadian Rankers Association is safe- guarding the interests of depositors; This must not be taken to mean that the Associa- tion is assumiing the liabilities of the failed bank. It merely conveys that the Associa- tion has the affair-s of the bank in hand, and will deal with them to the best advantage. The bank's liabilities at the end of October were, apart from capital, 2,670,000 dollars, while assets at the same date were slightly larger than that figure. TASMANIAN METALS EXTRACTION. Thi meeting of the Tasmanian Metals Extraction Company last week was a highly satisfactory function. The Company con- trols the whole of the output of the Rosebery Copper Mine in Tasmania, which has 250,000 tons of rich ore blocked out, on which the Tasmania Metals Company by its special process is making k2 per ton profit. Sir Edward Durand, who presided at the meet- ing, was able to state that all the initial difficultits of the undertaking had been over. come and that the immediate future held very cheerful prospects. The financial posi- tion of the Company is thoroughly sound, and has a subscribed capital of £68,000. Dividend payments may be looked for with some confidence next year. The Company has already bought ore to the value of £ 14,000, which its experts estimate will vield a net profit of £ 25,000.

--40- Tuberculous Cows. To the Editor of the Weekly News. Sir,Kiiidly permit me through your valuable paper to pass a few remarks re- garding the report of the Colwyn Bay Medical Officer of Health on his visiting the cowsheds and dairies of the district. Mr Purdy seems to come to the conclusions that the milk of diseased cows was sold for human food. But it can be proved beyond the shadow of a douht that it is not. The cow with the en- larged udder, wlich was due to garget as late as last August showed no sign of being diseased, but owing to the continuous wet she caught a chill, which caused garget of the udder. Needless to say that at the first sign of ill-health her milk was not sold. Therefore it could not effect the health of the public. The owner called in a Vet to see what was the best to do with her under the circumstances. The Vet advised him to fatten her. But there was some suspicion that she was suffering1 under tuberculosis. The farmer decided not to feed her. The truth is that this cow was given away, and the man who disposed of her will guarantee that she was not sold for human food. Is there anything- for our worthy Councillor to call shame about there ? The other cow stated to be suffering from a disease, which pioved to be nothing more contagious than an ulcerated stomach, was, as the officer suggested (but at the owner's expense), examined by a Vet, and reported free from tuberculosis. This cow was dry since August and in perfect health until Octo- ber. After the farmer was satisfied that she would be of no further use, she was done away with in the best manner possible. And our dutiful officer may rest assured that she was n< t sold for human food, neither did she mysteriously disappear as stated by him. Therefore, it was impossible for these cows to affect the health of the public. I hope by this statement to dispel Councillor Purdy's strong feeling. And I can assure our worthy officials that the farmer is most anxious to do everything in his power to produce a pure milk supply. And, after all, he is the chief man, and knows more about cows, and can dete.t when there is anything wrong with any of them, better than an outsider. It also will be seen from the above statement that the farmers are quite willing to have their cows tested for suspected tuberculosis. May I further suggest that the high rates and the serious financial position of the Colwyn Bay Council is quite enough to frighten the visi- tors away, without raising a bogey Tubercu- losis scare ?--I am, &c., RATEPAYER. 8818C*,
