Financial Unrest Reflects to Some EE
tent Upon the Industrial
Conditions.

New York;. C. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review says:
While business sentiment is dis
tinctly optimistic wherever the pro
cess of extracting eight or nine bill
lions of new products out Of the soil
Is carried Oh, there is confusion and
uncertainty in the financial markets.
There the severe depression on bonds,
the pressing needs Of London, the
continued large exports of gold from
New York and the heavy merchan-
lise imports into the United States,
the overproduction in pig iron, coke
and copper, leading to talk of curtail-
ment of operations, and some hesita-
tion caused by the remarkable polit-
ical developments, both in England
and the United States, produce con-
fusion of opinion as to the immediate
future. Yet there has been a notable
abatement of the recent unrest Of Ia
Dor, with advances in wages by inn
portant corporations.
The crop prospects are, on the
whole, considered to be excellent, and
are improving. The recent weather,
while causing some damage in places,
has by increased moisture been very
beneficial elsewhere. There has been
some readjustment Of prices to a
more normal basis. This causes con-
siderable irregularity in textile indus
tries, yet on the whole the dry goods
trade, while conservative, is conf
dent of a good year.
A better feeling prevails in the
wool trade. In a number of impor-
tant centers the business activity Is
reported to be up to full capacity,
while in others, where conditions are
less favorable, improvement is noted.
The shoe trade continues gradually
to expand. 1t becomes increasingly
evident that a general curtailment OF
pig iron production may develop in
the near future, unless conditions in
that market meet with some adjust
ment. The output Of all grades is
running steadily in excess of the de-
mand and stocks naturally accumu-
lated.
Buyers Of cotton goods are inclined
to await developments in raw cotton
before operating on convertible and
other fabrics. Retailers are buying
conservatively, but steadily. Jobbers
hold out of the primary markets be-
cause of the uncertainty in cotton
goods prices.
Manufacturers generally are in
creasing short time. The conserva-
tism in the primary dry goods mar
kets is not reflected so strongly in
distributing or retail channels.

Western Canada As
A Grain Producer
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust Anderson Of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly Of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16, 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone, bought a couple Of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen / brought
with me, broke 25 acres which put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. l earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur
ing the summer / put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding q
heavy frost on August 18th, had 221E
bushels of wheat per acre and go
bushels of oats. Of 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, l got q bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats OF
20 acres. never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water can be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tle."
The evidence Of Mr.. Anderson is
given because 1t is encouraging to the
man of small means who is desirous
of bettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality Of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,S47 Of high
grade stuff, percentage of 1923. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high averags, and 1t
demonstrates beyond the shadow Of
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow frst-class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
Its average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality Of the grain, and It is not
likely that atmospheric influences Of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time to come.
The best that can be expected ia that
fair average for a term of years
will be maintained.

NO." replied the truthful suitor,
for there will be no grumpy father to
come home and make everyone mis-
erable by his kicking over trifles and
swearing at matters in general There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head

novel while she does all the work.

shakespeare,s Greatest PIav.

It is impossible to say which Of
Shakespeare's plays is the greatest"
It is safe to say that the greatest of
his productions are THE Tempest"
Julius Cansar," Hamlet" Lear"
Macbeth" ind "Othello," but to pitch
upon any one of these six, or of the
others, as being the greatest would be
a bit of objectionable temerity. 1t is
a question of individual taste and
Judgment. Some claim that Hamlet"
bears the palm, others are found to be
in favor of giving that high honor to
Macbeth" while each one of his Is
or 20 greater plays seems the great
est" to some people. Perhaps the
most talked of if not the most popu-
lar. of the Shakespearean dramas is
Hamlet" while the majority of the
profounder Shakespearean critics
unite in pronouncing THE Tempest"
to be the high-water mark Of the great
dramatist's wonderful genius.
