William M. Kane Goes Down in the Y. M. C. A. Tank. A despatch from Stratford says: Wm. M. Kane, attendant at the Normal School here, was drowned an the Y. M. C. A. swimming tank on Saturday. It seems that the {oung man could not suing and got eyond his dept-h, the tank being eight feet at the deepest part. Wheâ€" ther he took cramps does not seem dear, but Coroner Rankin said that- ib was a clear case of drowning, and an inquest would not be necessary. zKane was about twenty years of age, and his parents live in Fuller- ton township, :1 short distance from Mitchel]. “Now, in spite of manupulation, .wheat prices eventually come to a supply and demand basis and that is the prime factor we must luck at to determine the future trend of the market. The Argentine 'crop will play a, great part. We have seen during the past week what damage reports from that country will do to prices. They have been “I feel,” said Mr. Carruthers, “that wheat prices are bound for higher levels. I base my belief on a. number of points which are now aflecting the market. European stocks are at a. low ebb. Prices have been so high for the past two years that foreigners have accu~ mulated no surplus, but have only taken enough wheat to satisfy im- mediate demands. Biggest Grain Exporter in Dominion Gives Reasons for Prediction. A despatch from Winnipeg says: James Cmruthers, of Montreal, the biggest grain exporter in Canada, is in the West to find if the supply this year from the Canadian West will hold out or not. He believes the wheat is being held up, and is going to make a trip through the West to find what the farmers are doing. WHEAT PRICES WILL 80 UP GERMANY’S NA VAL BUD GET.

The whole scale of emotions was twice mm fxer Saturday and Sunday here by the tireless men who have been work- ing for a week to rescue those whom fire entombcd in the St. Paul mine, and by the waiting. weeping women above. Forty bodies hat} been brought from the pit mouth on Saturday, and most of them identified, when the report shot through the prostrate community: The C. P.

A despatch from Port Arthur says: Three men were drowned here on Wednesday when a skiff capsized with a party of four While rowing across the canal basin. Their names are John Marshall Legrade, Abner Burnius and Pete Kamsen. The men came here from New Or- leans. The bodies have not yet been recovered. The fourth man was rescued. l'l‘hree Companions Hurled Great ‘ Distance Away. A despatch from Vancouver, B. 0., says: Joseph Betrozelli, an Italian, working at- Littlo Mountain reservoir, South Vancouver, on Thursday night was blown to pieces by a premature blast. Three fel- low-workmen were hurled through the air a distance of many feet. One Zanoni was severely injured in the face and will probably lose his sight. The four were employed in exca- vating and were about to start for the shelter when the powder explo- ded. The two uninjured, as soon as they found their feet, started running, and never stopped until they reached the centre of the city. The reservoir was being constructâ€" ed for the city. TWENTY MEN FOUND ALIVE. “And now we’re coming to the greatest factor of all, the farmers. They hold the key to the situation and you may rest assured that pric- es will have to stay at least as high am they are now to make them loosen up.” “Then another thing, look at the situation in the States. Europe figured on being able to get a big lot of wheat from below the line. But. it doesn’t look at present as if they were going to get much. Prices there are at least six cents higher than those which would make the grain available for export. Yet premiums on cash wheat keep well above the December option, with responsible for a big bulge. Should these reports be substantiated lat- er, it will have a liveningreffect: “In Chicago I talked with sev- eral big traders and they all take this View. I’m also inclined to bdieve that the United States Govâ€" ernment reports have somewhat overestimated the crop there. no signs of breaking. This means that Europe will have to come to Canada. for her supply and eventu- ally putrour prices higher. THREE ‘WERE DR OWNED . MAN BLOWN T0 PIECES.
