A irreat distributing cntre like Montreal, liandliiii;- the trade of :'i,:i30,l(i2 square miles of territory, eould not exist without the amplest transportation facilities. In order to fullil her destiny as the oom- iiieri iai metropolis of this lircat and lonstanlly growing Dominion, it Wiis necessary not oiilv that she should be supplied with an ade(iuate sui>i>ly of ocean i arriers.

In the daytime the harhor is gay with bunting and with ih.' brightlv colored funnels of the naular line steamships, and at iiiuht the brilliantly lit up levial hails make a most altra.live picture. It is the harbor that forms one of the principal attractions of Montreal to visiting tourists, and iu the excursion season the revetment wall is crowded with interested siiihtseers But these are only attracted by the pictur«'s(iueiiess and novelty of the scene ; only rarely do they reali/c that they are gazing on the caiiseof Moniieal's prosperity, orthat the export tratlic of this great Dominion i> sickiug its natural outlet under ihi'ir eyes.

They are built in water-tight comparlments, are unsurpassed for strength, sjieed and comfort, and are lilted up with all the modern improvements that practical exiicrieiice can suggest.

As ihe principal port of so laruie a urain exporting country as Cainida, the movement of grain in Montreal attains colossal projiortions The teemiiiLr p'airies of the North-west, the thriving farms of Ontario, and ihe broad acres of Dakota and Minnesota all unite to pour their wealth of wheat through Montreal on its road lo iis eventual market in liurope. The stream of loaded cars pouriuff along the wharf front, or siaiidinif in lonsr trains under the gigantic elevators ; the lloating elevators steaming aboni Ihe harbor, or moored alongside liiiue oci'an steamships transferring their golden cargo to the gaping holds ; the bagging barges with their crowds of busy baggers, and tlu^ endless processions of heavily laden lorries with their loads of bagired grain, all testify to the importance of this city as the uriatest urain nifrr/m/ of Canada ; while ii is only necessary to see the huge mills lowering into the air on the lanal bank h> realize on how large a scale the Hour industry is prosecuted in this city.

LEATHER, BOOTS AND SHOES AND RUBBERS. The Provinci' of (^»uebec is the lariresi hathi-r manufacturing secti(>n of this country. Owiuc to its uatuial advantasjes,— its wealth of h'-inlock bark, its abundant water power and its cheap labor, — it is exceptionally suited to the tannine' irad^-. and as a conseiiueiK'e we iind that the production of leather is one of till' staple indust ries ol th'' jiroviU' e. anil that there are now l')0 tanneries in oi)eration, turning out some millions of sides of black and sole leather every year For this leather Montreal is the largest customer, although of late the iiiy of i^u>'be.- has commenced to run this city close. lluring the i)ast year tiie l.-ather trade wa.- depressed. Stocks accumulated iu jobbers' hands, and ai one time leather was fairly a drug in the market ( )f late, llo\^'ever. a marked <'hanee has come over the leather Iratle. The luited Stales slock became gradually reduced, until a lirisk demand for hides set in, and American buyers bewail toi-ross into Canada and iaki> up hides wherever they could tiud them in order to lill orders. Eimland. liiidinebut little stock in United States markets, turned her attention to Canada, and not only purchased >ome very heavy lots, hut accepts readily at u'ood prices any shipments sent to her. This ha.-- had the elfect of relii-vinir our marki't of any surplus stock, and, as a natural restill. of siilleniMg prii-es. Shoe inaniila Hirers are 'j-lad to make loiilracts ahead to-day at prices they would have laughed at two months atro. and it i- eviilent that prices must yo up still further if tanners are to make any proiil AVitli liidc> at their present figure tanners launot afford to replenish their stocks unless they eel more for ilio'- !'-alher. and therefore, unless some very unforeseen (liauge should take place in the outlook, it sec-ms c c-rtain that we shall have to rt'c-ord higher prices for leather before long. Jiut it is not alone from Quebec that our shoe manufactories derive their supplies of leather. During the past year Canada imported l.'.M;tJ.23l pounds of leather, sorted as under : — Sole h-ather '.'/lii.TJ-') pound.-. (Move 48,315 pounds. Leather belting 14tj,27r.

The capacity of Montreal's boot and shoe factories may be estimated from the fact that they turn out about 22,500,000 pairs during the year, and that they employ between ;i, 000 and 4,000 hands. In fact Montreal makes three-fifths of the boots and shoes used in the Dominion of Canada. Such factories as those of Cochrane, Cassils & Co., Ames, Holden & Co., James Linton & Co., J.

Tilt!; LOCATION ol the " Hall on St. . fames street, the principal ihoroughfarc o| tie' city, cannot be surpassed in a sani- tary point of view, and is the most centrally situated for all travellers. It is in the midst of the banks, courts and prill' ipal public ollices, wholesale and retail houses .- and in its immediate vicinity are many ■it v. ol' the chief historii' attractions of lie IMPI10VE.MENTS. The urowth of Montreal in the past few years, and the ever-increasing demand for lirst-class accom- modation reipiired by the travelling iniblic, has called for large additions to the " Hall," which have been carried out and Just completed. These additions have largely added to the comfort and beauty of the house. The massive and elegant exterior— live stories high, with mansard roof, and a clear frontage of 12o feet on the mo.st fashionable street of the city— at once attracts the attention of the tourist, and a visit inside soon leads to the conclusion— that for polite attention and satisfactory management the " llall " has no superior.

CEMENT, Etc. In everv larii^e ■ ilv the (luestmn of sanitary precautions is sure to bi'cnme sooner or later a burning issue. The march of medical science has shown us that many of the diseases that llesh is heir to are perfectly preveiitible if the proper precautionary steps be taken, and the community which nowadays sutlers from epidomics of typhoid lever or diphtheria has only itself to blame. Montreal has naturally kept abreast of the times . and alilioueh much undoubtedly yet remains to be done, this city is gradually beinu- converted from one oi the worst drained cities of America into one of Ihe best. Placed as she is '111 the -e\eral terrace- slopiiiu' Up 10 the mountain, her natural advantages are very u'reat, while th.' broad and ra|iid St. Lawrence is mote than cai>able of conveying away and deodorizing all the .sewa';e the city can pour into it it only remains tlnn to construct ade(|uate drains and sewers to render Montreal one ot the healthiest cities in the world, and so soon as the last of the old wooden trunk drains has been replaced by ulazed sewer pipe that consummation will Im' brought about. It is tile state of tr.aiisiiioii that we are now pa.ssing through that has imi>arled so u^reat a stimulus to the dram pipe an0 p.,.},.]. J4,o«o l'"irebrick li;,S7.'! The reieipis „f cement durinii the present M.as.m have been exceptionally hea y, and as the strikes in the West have che.ked Inisiness and the buihlin-.- season her.' is hardly open yet, the .lemand has been very sliiiht and tin- market has be.n ehuted. In lact, cement is now otii'ring on ship's aceount at prices thai will net verv little proiit to the vendors.

In (he meantime the trade is quite prepared to wait until tiic lei;itiniate demand shall overtake llic suj)ply. PAINTS, OILS AND GLASS. The paint an.l oil trade of Montr. 'al is one in which fortunes ha\'e heeu made and also fortunes lost. In fact, success has alternated with feilure more in this line probahly than any other hi Moutreal's whole list of commercial enterprises. At times it would " 'ok as if the paint manufaeturintr trade wereovenhme in this city, ami as if nmre paints were u'rouud and made than the capacity of tlu' lountry could lei^iti- mately .ihsoili. And yet we can point to many staunch and ))rosper(nis lirms makini? and dealinu;- in paints. .Such lirms as Win. .lohnsoii, Mc Arthur. C'oreeille \; Co,, A. liamsay & Co., Fergusson, Alex- ainler \- Co., 1' U. Duds & Co. and It A. McCaskell iV Co. are all prosperous paint ''.-ms, and we ,4;!4 !• ranee ...

Man has lieeii described by b'uskin as an animal thai clothes itself. HxcepI in the most tropical of climates we rarely find even the most savage of tribes entirely destitute of clothing, and .-veu when the .skeletons of prediislorii' man are discovered there are always traci's bv which the presence ol' clothing can be (!stablishi-d. It seems to be an inbred interest in all mankind, whether C!aui'asian, Turanian, Monuolian or African, to cover his body with some defence against the inclemency of the weather, and in those comparatively few races who go entirely naked, the place of clothing is replaced by an elabora- it 'i ; ( ' ; '! i li I I n I' I I. 54 Jioiuiiniiv D^umbcf— 'JUc %% THE ALICIA CIGAR COMPANY, MANUFACTURERS OP HIGH CLASS CIGARS EXCLUSIVELY.
