Henry Clews reports encouragingly
on the business and financial situation.
He says that farmers will again be a
highly important element in the con-
tinuance of national prosperity, and
they are in the fortunate position of
having sure market for all that they
can possibly produce at very profitable
prices. He suggests that such condi-
tions should stimulate their exertions
to the utmost in order to secure the
largest yield possible, a result which
would be not only beneficial to them,
but to consumers at large, who are
feeling the present high costs of all
food products. Mr.. Clews adds that
the most encouraging conditions in
sight are those connected with the IN
dustrial situation. Our iron trade
shows steady improvement, every
branch of the latter feeling the in
fuences of recuperation; the volume
of business being almost up to pre-
yious years. Some considerable new
capacity remains unemployed, yet the
tendencies are towards further better
ment and prices are rising. Rail
roads have placed large orders fol
rails. structural material. cars and en-
gines. The building trade continues
excellent and is also source OF mucl
