Tho evidence given before the Necessary Commodities Commission showed that tho prices of some goods would be temporarily raised owing to delay in obtaining shipments. It is anticipated that this will be shortly relieved. Owing to tho great advance in the price of wheat it is expected that wheatmeal -will go h'gher.

'Die committee is considering the pro. pcsal. Their Majesties the King and Queen met with an ovation on visiting three hundred wounded soldiers at the London hospital. A British submarine picked up a German pilot and mechanic from a floating aeroplane fifty miles from Harwich. The police throughout Canada are actively registering all Germans and Austrians and redoubling their vigilance. as it is possible that spies of the secret service are particularly active.
