The wishes of the King must continue to the in the minds of All engaged in the conference so Long As it remains in fact that it has involved another sitting despite wednesday s pessimism is in itself a Good Omen. Mofle rate men on both sides of politics continue to Hope that its labors May not in the end prove fruitless however unfavourable the Outlook was last night from Premier Asquith s reply to a question in the House of commons that no Date could be fixed for a second Reading of the amending Bill. It is understood that the negotiations May be carried into next week. An important meeting of unionist leaders in the House of lords was at tended last night by lord Lansdowne lord Selborne lord Salisbury lord Hal Bury. Lord Curzon. Of Kedleston and the Duke of Devonshire. The daily Telegraph says the announcement that the conference of the leaders meets Astrain this morning does not justify the Hope that Progress has been made towards a basis of Settle ment. The possibility of an agreement has dwindled to the vanishing Point. Today s sitting is generally regarded As a Mere matter of form and in All probability the prime minister will announce that the party leaders have failed to come an agreement. Hope however must not be abandoned until the conference is actually at an end.

Result As to Duce the number of chartered Banks doing business to Canada to and to make Home of two of the largest Banks in Canada. With its latest affiliation the Bank of Nova Scotia will Rurik fourth among the chartered Banks of Canada and it will obtain an organization and a ser ies of branches which would require years to up build.

Said Over a very Large part of the prov Ince and while undoubtedly the crop along the . Main line the Soo line and in tie Southeast of the prov ice is generally much above the aver age in the Western part of Saskatchewan at Maple Creek and Gull Lake running up into the Kindersley District the crop May be called a total failure a file the crop in the Central portion the province both East and West of Saskatoon is one of the most uneven that has been seen for years. There likelihood of an Early Harvest and the Grain Sample will probably be a Good one. Oats and Barley Are Light and it is possible that not More than one half an average crop of these grains will be harvested. Some compensation is Likely to be realized however in the prices of the coarser grains As the amount for Export will undoubtedly be Small. Few outside harvesters needed. The need for harvesters from out Side Points will i consider be very limited the unemployed men in the towns and cities being probably quite As Good harvesters As any that we could Hope to get from the East and the government is busying itself in moving the Farmers from the districts where there is a crop failure to other districts where men will be required. Laii Gley and c. A. Dunning Gen eral manager of the Saskatchewan co operative elevator company left Regina this evening to attend a sit Ting of the Dominion Grain commission Ltd be held in Winnipeg.

Van heard from set out in and Vance of the party for Herald Island. Captain Bartlett Hopes these eight men will be found alive and Well but it is recognized that there is grave reason to fear that they have been lost. No fears Are entertained As to the safety of the main body. From Stefansson himself no further word is expected until september when a seaport boat sex petted from Herschiel Island.

I am proud of the fair itself and 1 am proud of the men who devoted their time and Energy in making it what it is that is the Way mayor Hughes expressed himself when speaking of the great Succes s of the exhibition. Normal. Rumor confirmed. July outstanding fact in the Irish situation tonight is that the Home Rule conference is stir in being the predictions of the to Hole Liberal and unionist press of yester Day that the conference was on the eve of collapse having proved false. After a protracted meeting today the conference adjourned until to Morrow. Meetings and discussions of the various party leaders proceeded in lobbies of parliament tonight with unabated activity and moderate men like lord Courtney Are working indefatigably in the direction of com Promise. Hopes and fears fluctuate from hour to hour. One favourable sign is found in the tact that further consideration in the House of commons of the amending Bill which was postponed until Mon Day on account of the conference has been still further postponed. This justifies the belief that the conference extend into next week. Another hopeful indication was a meeting of the unionist leaders which Jas attended by the Marquis of lans Awne the Earl of Selborne them a jims of Salisbury the Earl of Hals Pau a. Earl Curz on of Kedleston and Duke Devonshire. Such a of unionist Peers would lordly have assembled unless some y matter was to be discussed.

In its amalgamation with the. Metro Politan Bank the Nova Scotia Bank has secured an exceedingly advantageous position in new territory and has taken Over a business which has been acknowledged among the Best of the Junior lines of banking institutions in tji King this course the Bank of Nova Scotia has followed the precedent of the Canadian Bank of Commerce which took Over the Eastern town ships Bank and the Royal Bank of Canada which absorbed the traders Bank the merger will not disturb the balance of banking prestige As Between Toronto and Montreal As did1 uie absorption and in fact it will not do much More than Cement a working agreement which has been in effect for some years the staff of the metropolitan upon the confirmation of. The. Agreement., will enter the service of the Bank of Nova Scotia and in the event of any re arrangement of branches which May be necessary in a few isolated cases there will be no Chan go in the person Nel of either staff ers " said the minister. Last year both of these concerns acquired the habit of placing a Lien on the Farmers Erain while it was san on the farms and the changes which Are suggested to the commission Are that the local elevator men shall become partners with the implement companies and Banks in collecting these accounts. The proposed method of procedure is that after the Grain has been placed under Lien the elevator Man shall be notified that this has been done and shall then refuse to receive any Grain from the Farmer except As the prop erty of the Holder of the Lien. Such a change would make it necessary that the Farmers should wait until the claim of the Lien owner is fully satisfied be fore being allowed to dispose of any of the strike pending machinists on Section of g.
