The Canadian minister of marine has announced that after several years’ negotiation an agreement has been reached among the governments of the United States, Great Britain and Russia as to the terms of arbitration of claims arising out of the seizure of American and British sealing vessels by Russian cruisers in the north Pacific-in 1892. Bradstreet’s says: "While trade is still of only midsummer volume, the beginnings of improvement in demand are apparently becoming visible. The improvement is still one of tone rather than of actual demand, but with, as seems possible, a yield of 540,000,(HM) bushels of wheat, a next to record-breaking yield of corn and a very large production of oats, the Western crop situation contains many encouraging features. The industrial situation is rather better, ns a result of agreements upon wages by a number of iron and steel manufacturing concerns and their employes. Lower prices for lumber are apparently inducing more activity in building, though how much is due to this, or how much to the settlement of labor disturbances, is hard to measure. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 2,829,910 bushels, against 5.018,852 bushels last week and 3,205,815 bushels in the corresponding week of 1899. Corn exports for the week aggregate 4,022,008 bushels, against 3,014,290 bushels last week and 4,553.739 bushels iu this week a year ago.”
