Consul H. D. Van Sunt, of Kings ton, sends the following Information concerning dairying In Canada: At the lust meeting of the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's association on January 8, 1908, the president report ed:, . "We regret to say that the, dairy season of 1907, as far as the export movement Is concerned, has been dis appointing, the exports of both butter and cheese showing a marked falling off from those of last year, as well as being considerably short of the aver age of the past five . seasons. The aggregate value of Canadian cheese and butter exports for 1907 will be In round numbers about 123,000,000 ogulnst $29,000,000 for 190. In creased prices may be expected this coming seuson, with resultant bare markets. Another report from this district and Montreal states: "Holdom if ever before was the prospect for the production-of cheese so gloomy as at present. This Is ow ing to the Immense number of milch cows I lut t farmers have been forced to sell this fall, at whatever price they could net, on account of the great scarcity of hay In some of the prin cipal dairy sections of Canada and Ihe unusually high price of food stuffs." In this section farmers are feeding their cattle on the hare corn stalks, for which (hey pay 14 per ton of 1!000 pounds. May Im Kingston has not been s i li t uli In price In years, whin more culilo huva heeii exported to the Vnitcd Slates at low prices than for some time pa.it. The outlook from our Information Is that It will takp two years or more to restore norma' conditions, while the Increased output of butter and cheese In Ticiumirk, llel glum and the fulled KlriVcs will hsve a tendency lo make It more difficult for Canadian butter and cheese pro duet to hold for the time the long lead U FOLLETTE BILL John E. Lathrop, who is now the Washington correspondent for the Oregon Dally Journal, writes as fol lows of the effect of the president's recent message on law enforcement and railroad legislation: An immediate effect of the presi dent's message Is to make possible the passage through the senate of Senator La Follette'a bill authorising the In terstate commerce commission to in vestigate and determine the physical value of all railroad properties. President Roosevelt recommended this action In his ' regular message, but there was an understanding among senators that nothing should be dsne. Now, however, there has been the same alignment of forces In the com mittee on Interstate commerce that existed when the rate bill was under consideration, and a majority of the committee Is In favor of the measure. At a meeting of the committee Sen ators Dolllver and Cullom and the five democratic senators declared in favor of taking up La Follette's bill and hearing the senator In advocacy of Its passage. Assuming that this division will continue the committee will stand 7 to 8 in favor of action. Opponents of the bill are Senators Elklns, Aldrich, Kean, Foraker, Clapp and Crane, all leading reactionaries, with the exception of Clapp, who may go over to the other side. This act would afford a basis for the establishment of railroad rates, and at the same time determine what percentage of the stock and bond in debtedness of railroads Is baaed upon actual values. Railroads, whose cap ital stock has been heavily watered, will naturally oppose the proposition to the last extremity. Play tlin Game. Shouldn't call on you today, Business rotten, did you say?
