PREMIER LAURlER
Advocates More Friendly Trade Relations

Advocates More Friendly Trade Relations
With the United States.
MONTREAL, Jan. 22-Premier Lauri-
er, speaking to public meeting here
Thursday night on Canadian trade eA-
tension, said it had long been his opin-
ion that commercial relations between
Canada and the United States should
be more friendly than they are
at present. While he was emphatic
in asserting that the efforts of
parliament should be directed towards
getting for Canada the trade of the
western states, he wished it well un-
derstood that he was against the idea
that friendliness with the United
States meant hostility to England.
The Canadian government intend
ed to have SO far as they could
better trade relations with the
United States, but if that meant
hostility to England they would
have none, of it. 1t was the boast of
! Canadians, and he was proud to say it,
that colonials though they were, they
did not believe the sun shone on a
freer country than this, and they felt
gratifed to the great empire which
protected their liberty. 1t was with
these sentiments that he wished
to approach the government OF
the United States. If it were his
duty and privilege to go to the
United States and speak of better trade
relations between Canada and that
country he would say: 1--WE come here
not as suppliants, but as free men to
talk business with free men and if you
will accept a basis of relations upon
this ground let us at once negotiate;
but if you expect that we come here
simply to starve in the country to
which we belong we shall do nothing
of the kind !"

Business Is Unquestionably Bett IT, But
Prices Are Unimproved-Lsrpe Produs-
tion. But as Yet But Little Increase in
Consumption.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-R. G. Dun s.
Co will say Saturday in their weekly
review of trade:
There is more business, though not
at better prices 1t is interesting that
almost all prices which will change at
all are lower than a week ago and yet
business is unquestionably larger.
There is larger production, but as yet
not as much increase in con-
sumption, and there is larger buying
of materials, but at present on
ly because better prices are expected
in the future. A few conspicuous fail
ures during the week have had no ma
terial influence. The market for Sc
curities is slightly stronger, and yet
there is very little doing. The mum Der
of hands employed, all industries con-
sidered, is slightly larger than a
week ago. with adverse change
in the rate of wages. All
apprehension of foreign disturbance
of money markets has passed away,
! but there Is still great caution in max
ing loans 1t is mistake to reckon
these as symptoms of depression. On
| the contrary, in view of the lower
range of prices in important industries,
the conditions all indicate larger pro-
duction and consumption increasing
not as yet large, but steadily.
The earnings of railroads in January
|
last year.
Wheat, corn and cotton exports are
| the key of the financial situation, and
during the past week wheat has de-
clined &c and corn &c, while cotton is
unchanged. The western receipts of
wheat are still small.
The wooden industry is as slow as
ever and no real improvement appears
in the demand for goods, although ow-
ing to the lateness of the season there
is little more doing, both in spring
and in winter goods, without quota bic
change in prices. The heavy buy
ing of wool mentioned last week has
continued and is understood to be in
anticipation of expected duties, the
sales at Boston alone having amounted
to II, $50, 600 pounds. Quotations have
not changed as yet, although western
holders are quite stiff In the minor
metals stronger tone is general.
The iron industry is engaged in set
Ting relative prices and the slow oper-
alton retards business in many
branches, since the future of prices is
uncertain. Bessemer pig is a trifle
lower.
The bar association has been in ses-
sion to consider the reduction of steel
bars to one cent, and in large con-
tracts even lower, and the billet asso.
citation has again been called together
to meet on the goth, although there is
no prospect of its reorganization and
billets are selling at 1926 al
Pittsburg. The increase in manu-
featuring is perhaps more definitely
shown than in any other way by the
production of coke, which steadily in
creases, 9,S17 ovens being in blast
against s,173 idle, and the weeks out.
put 100, $50 tons, is over double the
output for October. Failures for the
week have been 400 in the United
States against 1913 last year, and 65 in
Canada against 81 last year.

THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE,

BY an Overwhelming Majority, Refuses
to Remove the Picture Of Jefferson Da-
Wis From Its Position Over the Speak er's
Chair.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 22.-Six
years ago this month the Arkansas
legislature passed bill appropriating
$3.50 for a painting OF Jefferson Davis
and instructed the sergeant-at-arms to
hang it over the speakers chair, a
place formerly occupied by a portrait
of George Washington. Wednesday
Jacob King, of Stone county, intro
duced the following resolution relative
to the picture:
Be it resolved by the house of repre-
sentatives of the state of Arkansas
that Jefferson Davis picture be re-
moved from where it now hangs and
placed to the left of the speakers
stand, where Gen. George Washing
tons picture now hangs, and that Gen.
Washington's picture be placed over
the speakers stand where Jefferson
Davis picture now hangs"
The house by an overwhelming ma
jority rejected the resolution.
Mr.. King says he was in the confed-
crate army, and with Gen. Lee at the
surrender of Appomattox, and intro
duced the resolution at the urgent re-
quest of his constituents.

LYMAN j. GAGE.
The Treasury Portfolio Will Likely Be
rendered Him This Week.


CANTON, O., Jan. 25.-Lyman j.
Gage, of Chicago, was actively dis
cussed here Sunday and he may now
be fairly considered a strong cabinet
probability. 1t is likely that the treas
ury portfolio will be rendered him this
week. The doubts about Mr.. Cages
political faith and economic creeds
have been removed within the last
twenty -four hours by the visit of Alex
ander Revel, of Chicago, to Canton. 1t
may be safely assumed that his APP
pointment is being more seriously con-
sidered than ever.
There is an impression that the cabi-
net will be practically completed with

the possible exception of one place
The secretary of state is of course,
decided upon and the secretary of the
treasury will be as definitely determ-
ined and so will be the secretary of the
interior, but the portfolios of war, of
the navy, of agriculture, of justice
and the post Office department will be
changed good deal Gen. Ayers APP
pointment to the cabinet is not regard
ed as certain, but the belief that he
will be in it grows and this notion is
strengthened by the knowledge that

time at least from the list of those
