Sometimes the price goes up and sometimes down, but there has so far been no real break which would indicate that either side had won. As the days pass the situation becomes tense, but there is still time enough for the Pool and other holders of grain to score a win. It seems as if no new wheat can come on the market except that from Australia until early next fall and in the meantime available stocks are being used up and more and. more people will be looking to Canada for their supply, t In spite of this it looks to us as if the big holders would begin to have sleepless nights pretty soon. Should the Poollose it will be in a rather parlous situation'. MINERAL RECORD The record mining gross income made this year is largely the result of the increase of copper and lead and not of any very great increase In general mining. The plant at Anyox has been producing as rapidly as possible to tnke advantage of the prices offered for tjieir product. Also the amount received even for the same output is higher than last year. Britannia mine has also been very busy. A lamentable feature of the mining report is the drop Of a millien dollars in the Induction of coal.

CRISIS IS PAST The crisis in the life of the British Labor Government is past. They have been sustained on the. second reading of their Coal Mines Bill, but It was so dose a vote-'tjjhat thetfelie of the Government was trembling in the balance. It swfihs as if the intent was to show the Labor Government that they could go so far and no farther. It seems as if some of those who could not support the bill, but who did not wish to see the Government defeated just now, must have absented themselves from the House, else with only two Liberals voting with Labor the result would have been different area h being revived through graUfjpttig discoveries tnat nave 1100 ounces of silver to the ton In addition to $14.50 in gold and; nra oak.? news Jajmaay, Decemh., i 1823 LEAGUE IS STILL TIED Illffii Schbol una till Four .tj, flfty-tiOff For InternefUaU !

Al Foreman is seeking a return bout with Billy Townsend The de- ! feated champion puts it this way: "I think my showing was good enough to warrant a return matwi. I risked my UUe and lost! tt. If Townsend proposes to be a fighting champion he can hardly ignore my claims for a chance to redeem myself. I will fight him under any reasonable circum stances. I want a chance to prove; to my men as inai i am oetter than I seemed last Friday night. I do not care for alibis. Townsend won and that's alright with me I wasn't at my best. I was worried, too, about my left eye and that made me cautions in using my left hand which is probably my best offensive weapon. I Will welcome a chance to fight Town-send again at any time. If Town--end wants to go south 111 take the fight at any date he names. Twenty-four hours notice Is good enough for me U they object to delay. I know I can beat him when I'm at my best."
