Now it has 'recovered.,to-453,551,184. dollars, and it is 131 °' 3 "? el a ' e fire losses completoly-by •Another small-Canadian bank has had ,to suspend-payment, in tho-shape"Of-the 'Baiicjiio 1 de .St.. Hyacintlie, of Quebec. Tho institution was fouuded in 1874,. only small , business.- Its deposits'only ;just : exceeded--.£200,000, while its note circulation .amounted to about *£53,000.' '■ ■' - ' ' ' ■-, -'- ■ . From Customs returns it is evident that tho importation of jams, and-'jellies in Japan is increasing. -Last year the quantity imported amounted to 135,300 kin, tho value of which was 30,100-yen, or in round,figures/only-..63000. Ninety* per cent: of the total'importation came from Great Britain, and ,was the manufacture. . of Messrs. Crosse and Blackwoll, London. Most of the nitrato industries ,of Chile havo been organised ivith English capital'and under English management.' The railways: in tlie north of tho country wero in part established for tho use of this enterprise. The two most important lines belong to - the'-, English .Nitrate Railway Company and to tho Aritofagasta and Bolivian Railway Company. . According to official statistics of Sweden there are now in that country 175 turf litter factories with a production ten -times as large as in 1903. The. explanation, of this increase in ihe number of factories and their production is owing largely to the ease • with i which loans are-obtained from the Government for such , enterprises .from. a_£pecial..fund; set; aside for this purposa.

: The - soft goods"-' trade of.. Scotland has passed through, the w.orst six. months for many ...years.] During tho first quarter returns -kept well up, but since then all gains' have been swept away. Bo that as it may (says tho "British Trado RoYiow"), there is: a belief that the late autumn will. see matters mending. The. record gold dividends; declared iu South ■ Africa. encourage the hope that the export trade to that quar- ; so; long,, dead,«-will now revive. Certainly stocks, in the new colony have not been added' to.for many months,,and in tho usual course they must now be accepted as light. Tho prospects; of a. good harvest also give nioro hope for. the autumn trade at home.

Ari v interesting,'-situation appears-to : havo arisen ,in. connection with the United .States Pacific "Ocean steamship, lines. It.consists of notification" from; the chief United-States transContinental railroads, which control and. operate steamship:lines between the Pacific Coast and the Orient; that it is their intention to abandon, their, steamship: service. .-It is stated.that this determination is the ; direct result .of, a .recent .ruling, by the Interstate ■ Commerce C'6mmiss ( ion. requiring''that, in: the .publication of'.freigiit : rates on Oriental .-shipments the ■trans-Continental --railroad charges- shall bo stated, separately from the Pacific Ocean rates. It-is also understood that the difficulty in competing with tho Japanese lines -is. al§o, another factor in the matter,, as Japanese ■..steamships are operated at a much smaller comparative cost.

•• The i superintendent of banks in .the-State of New .York, roferred ..recently., to . the -.rapid recovery of financial..institutions .ini the. United States from• tlie.crisis; This authority.,affirms that "the full significance, of. the .improvement that has taken place in banking js brought out by,..the. fact-that of the thirteen ■ institutions, that, were in trouble in tho latter part of--the year, not fewer than eleven, have.been able-to reopen." This .record, he' points out, speaks;-for itself, and he adds-that remarkable progress hasybeen mado by the various, banks and ..trust, companies that became temporarily embarrassed. "The'position to-day is a striking commentary upon the recuperative powers of Amorican banking-institutions, an illustration of,'which may be found in the .Knickerbocker Trust Co. This concern is concluding arrangements to make .a third payment to depositors at an early date, it having anticipated two precedinj payments. Now accounts, it is stated, are being opened in gratifying numbers, and deposits now exceed .87, which is more than-was on hand when tho institution rcopenod its doors in March last

~.The notvearnings of the giant United States Steel Corporation, which amounted to .£17,263,/,44 in the first half of last year were ii.. the-Jir'st ; half of this, one, reduced to .£7,852,331. • Tho dividends .were maintained, namely-3J.per cent, for the six. months on the preferred and 1 per cent, on the common stock, but th? .£7,000,000 appropriated to betterments last year made no' appearance this year, and reserves and depreciations were reduced. However, American critics congratulate the corporation'in being able to make profits at all.' The orders on hand on June 30 were for. 3,313,576 tons, as compared with 7,603,878 tons' on. June 30 last year.

.Thero have been many alarmist statements circulated lately as to the probability of war between',Great, Britain and 'Germany. There are- of course-two sides to this question, tho political and the commercial. The immediate effect of such a war, which it is hoped will never eventuate, would mean that Germany would shut herself out of a market to which she now exports some .£57,158,000 of goods annually. Germany's exports to the United Kingdom exceeded her imports from that countrv last year by. X 15.800.000. There will, therefore', be a large and influential, class in the Fatherland who can be counted on to use their utmost endeavour, to prevent hostilities. Germany, also', does a large trade with British possessions, which, would also be cut- off. Her trade, with the United State's could only bo carried on during a state of war with great risk of capture by British cruisers. This being so; while war lasted tho wliolo of Germany's. oversea trade would bo paralysed, and it is . difficult to see how she could. manago to long survive the disorganisation that such an unhappy 6tate of affairs would entail upon her industrial'population. ■ , The Customs, revenue collected at Wellington yesterday amounted to .£ll2l 15s. 7d. : - PROPERTY SALES. .
