"The Canadian Government owns one line of railway pnly-— the Intercolonial line," said Mr W. A. Beddoe, Canadian Trade Commissioner, m the course of an address at Masterton. "And strange to say it is tho only line m Canada which does not pay." Comments were made by Mr Justice Cooper during the criminal sessions at tho Auckland Supreme Court on the profits made by secondhand dealers. During the hearing of one case it transpired that a suit-case containing clothes to the value of about £40 had been sold for 15s. His Honor said that the ease with which obvjously stolen goods could bo disposed of was a very great temptation to those inolined to be dishonest. He thought that the conduct of a dealer who only gave 15s for goods worth £40 should be inquired into by the police.
