80 pRlEI FROM cANApe

Contrary to the general opinion, the
larger part of the movement OF people
between the United States and Canada
is in our direction. Until few years
ago this movement was almost entire
ly to use Thus, of the 100000 per-
sons in the United States in 1900 of
foreign birth, 100000 were Canada
ans. But the opening of the cheap
lands in Western Canada in recent
years and the practical exhaustion of
our own lands on our northern tier of
states have sent wave of emigration
across our northern boundary, which
has reached large proportions since
1903 or 1904. H5t7'. t', - ,t
But figures gathered by one of our
consuls show that in this movement
south and north on our northern Dor
der the United States is the gamer.
While, in the fiscal year ending on
June 30, 1908, $500 persons left the
United States for Canada, 5S,S26 came
from Canada here to reside, leaving a
balance of 1866 in our favor. In view
of the boasts of the Canadians regard
ing the great exodus to them from our
side of the line this exhibit will sur
prise many persons. The balance in
our favor is small, but that there is
any balance is a circumstance which
ought to be encouraging to us. The
movement from our side, however, is
portentously large.
Canada's railways and immigration
boards are better advertisers than
ours This is one of the secrets of
the big drift of our farmers across
the northern border. The lure of
cheap lands, of course, is a large con-
sideration with the emigrants. Farm
ers in Iowa, Minnesota and the Dako-
tas can sell their property and buy
four or five times as much in Western
Canada. They are compelled, how
ever, to begin life anew when they
cross the border. In most cases the
railroads are far away, and in all cases
the climate is hostile and the. social
atmosphere is alien. They are com
PEELED to establish other relationships,
TO form a new allegiance, and to SUBJ
ject themselves to laws and to customs
which are strange to them. The con-
trast between their old and their new
surroundings is SO striking that 1t
brings many of the emigrants back to
us within a few years. ..

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Henry Clews wakes optimistic in
his weekly New York letter and in
part says:
"A hopeful feeling prevails in bust
ness circles generally, and trade con-
!tinues to show an improving tendency,
both Clearing House returns and rail-
road earnings emphatically demon
Istrating this fact. The iron industry
maintains its lead in business recov-
cry, some departments having receiv-
ed record-breaking orders during the
lmOnth of May. There is, however,
occasionally slight halt in the plac-
ing of new business; and with the APP
proach of the summer months it would
cause no surprise if general business
was to show temporary signs of slack
ening. This is partly true in the dry
goods trade, where high prices have
Itivity in boti cotton and WOODEN goods
THE tariff seems to have almost drop
ped out of sight as business deter
rent, although its settlement would
.unqusstiOnabiy be a relief The final
'outcOme is still matter OF doubt At
present the indications suggest numer-
|ous advances in rates instead OF reduc-
|tions, yet the prevailing feeling is that
these are intended to be used in bar
gaining for a final adjustment in con-
tariff agitation has been to greatly
swell our imports, although the in
creased activity in manufacturing
lines has, of course, stimulated the de-
mand for raw materials not produced
sufficiently at home. This continued
rush of imports, accompanied by a
prolonged dearth of exports, is having
a very important effect upon our in
ternaional trade balance The out
ward gold movement still continues
and may run to considerably larger
proportions unless checked by Euro
pean absorption of our forthcoming
new security issues. These increased
importations have had one beneficial
effect, inasmuch as they have increas-
ed the national revenue, and thus ma
terially lessened the Treasury deficit,
which at one time was source of con-
siderable apprehension.
The crop outlook thus far is as sat
isfactory as could be expected. The
season is late and comparatively
small crop OF wheat must be expected
owing TO reduced acreage, which sug-
gests continued high prices for that
staple and relatively small exports
next winter. The loss in wheat, how
ever, is likely to be more than com
pensated for by big corn crop.
Should the latter escape early frosts,
i is not unreasonable to expect
bumper yield of about 5000. 0OO, 900
bushels. Plenty Of cotton is also In

TOO MUCH WETNESS.
Farm Work Is Being Seriously Hand.
49, icapped BY Rain.

The continued wet spell is making
the farmers wonder when the rain
will stop. Some are growing discoiIr+
aged while others are disposed to
take it in the best OF nature Some
of the farmers have all of their corn
in while others are just beginning to
plant their crops The corn is com
ing up nicely but the fields are being
drowned out by the water or the
weeds are becoming so thick in
places that the corn plant cannot be
seem
Not only is the vegetation being af-
fected by the wet weather, but the
little chicks and other barnyard game
are suffering likewise. The faithful
housewife reports large hatchings but
this kind of weather seems to be more
than the small fowls can stand and
they fall by the wayside. The small
ducks and turkeys seem to be the
worse affected. They appear all
right at night, but when the pens are
examined in the morning a number
are found dead.
Instead OF praying for rain, as do
the Kansas farmers, ours are praying
for one glance OF the sun and dry
spell for while.
