Patrick Procession in Toronto. Toronto, March 18. A notable feature in connection with the parade of tbe Irish Catholic societies in celebration of St. Patricks day was the fact that it was headed by the union jack, it being the first time the history of such psrades here where this has beau the case.

The conviction is apparently dawning upon the Hhorts at last that "too much of a good thing or a bad one is good lor nothing at all. and they are coming to realize that natural conditions cannot be held in check much longer by artincml means.

It is. any rate a very reasonable supposition that prices have now got about as low as they can go and still retain any tiling like in ti ins value.
