The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Asslnibola, Canada, January
lO.-At the Agricultural Statistics
branch of the Department OF Agiicul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
MS throughout tie Territories for sta
istlcal purposes. The reports are some
what delayed this year, owing TO tho
extensive crop an the delay in getting
( threshed. The Department Of Agri-
ulture Is leading the way in new de-
,arture, In regard to the collection OF
rop statistics, In the older provinces.
rOp estimates are based entirely on
he opinion of persons interested In the
rain business who ought to be, and ne
loubt are, well posted upon the prob"
bic yields. Still the reports are SIM
,ly matter of opinion, in which q
Mistake may easily be made. The Ter
ltorial Department, however, has
!dopted the system of returns of crops
ctually threshed. upon which to base
heir reports. The accuracy Of tho
eports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid.
Or they represent compilation of ac-
ual threshng results In this connec-
ion, 1t might be mentioned that the
apartment is organizing n system Of
Srowing crop returns, which will ba
n operation next summer. The In.
formation thus obtained, with estf'
mated acreage will be available FOO
business men, banks, railway com.
panieS, and other interests which hava
% discount the future in making pro.
vision for the conduct of their busi-
ness.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases OF ABB
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given OF
crops of wheat running from forty ID
forty-five bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed u.s.
900 bushels of oats from 450 acres, an
average Of G3 bushels per acre for Q
large acreage.
w. Il. Motherwell, Of Abernetby,
threshed $3.50 bushels of wheat from
50-acre field, an average of 80 bushels
per acre.
In the Edmonton District, T. Z
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels 1f
wheat from 10-acre plot, an average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
8. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels Of
oats from 60 acres Of land, an averast
Of ZIG bushels per acre.
The publication Of the actual Yields
of grain threshed will likely open thu
eyes of the people to the great capabnh
ties OF the Western Canadian prairies

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

"Bradstreet's" says: Weather, crop
and industrial developments have been
largely favorable, and coupled with the
greater ease of money make for an OPP
tmistic feeling in trade and speculation.
AS stated some time ago, and. confirmed
by recent developments, the future
seems more and more secure, but the
immediate present does not in all in
stances present SO satisfactory all ap-
pearance.
Warmer weather has continued to
help retail distribution, but has not in
all cases made up for the disadvantages
caused by the heretofore backward sea-
son. With few exceptions, summer re-
sort business has not equaed expecta-
tons. Railway earnings are really fiat
tering, June returns on nearly 100000
miles of road showing an aggregate
gain OF per cent on last year.
In the matter of actual business I'M
provement is noted in the demand for
finished products OF iron and steel and
lumber seems to be recovering from the
temporary depression noted at the be-
ginning OF July. The shoe trade and
naturally hides and leather, heretofore

wooden goods is also more noticeable.
The dry goods trade taken as whole is
rather quiet, but increased interest is
shortly to be expected. The Eastern
fall jobbing trade in this line is not ex-
pected to set in quite as early as a year
ago.
Good growing weather is reported
The country over, and corn and cotton
reports are generally more favorable.

East, but the reports as to the clothing

Southern manufacturers indicate a good

as yet clearly defined enough to induce
new commitments. A better tone is
noted in the manufacturing branch, par
ticularly in print cloths, which are said
to be in increased inquiry at Fall

So Guaranteed Lumbermen Scoot for

wagon road, left there. yesterday after
neon. for their homes in Canada, that
being their only choice in the matter.
for there We're not supplies in their
camp to last more than two days. The
men returned to Canada via the Gulf
Stream rather than take the chances
of being held UP by the doctors at
Lowelltown station. A small crew OF
lumDermen in the woods have gone to
their homes in Canada rather than be
vaccinated. There appears to be no
indications OF smallpox south of the
Higgins Camp on the upper Holeb.
