Final Figures-Former's Increase Is
About What Montreal Lost in the
Year-Heavy Investments by Ameri-
can Capitalists. &C.,

Special to The Journal. .... -
Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 7.--Much satisfaction II
felt here over the fact that the bank clear
ings Of Canada in 1904 amounted to $2,741,
44O, s13, compared with So COS, 913. 952 in 1908.
Canadian banking, says the Winnipeg CORE
spondent of the Commercial West of Minneapolis.
The most striking gains were in Winnipeg and
Toronto. The growing Importance Of Winnipeg
as the distributing center of the northwest,
coupled with the natural increase in the business
attending the rapid growth of that section, Is
clearly in evidence. Banking exchanges in Win
nipeg increased $4s 493, 431, which is about what
Montreal lost during the; year. There is doubt
less connection between the two showings.
Negotiations have been closed with an Ameri-
can syndicate which will purchase $4,000 acres
from the Canadian Pacific railroad just east
of Calgary. This comprises that half Of block
of 100000 acres above the irrigation canal set
aside by the company for sale this year, as being
| too high for irrigation purposes. Up to Dec. 1
about $4,000 acres of this block had been dis
posed of to individuals, the receipts therefrom
amounting to $25o,OOo. 80 X -.
