RECIPROCITY INFORMATION.

Insorder to make plain as it was be-

piled some explanatory articles re-
rarding It. The following is a part OF
nne of these papers and about manu-
featured articles:
Canada has not yet reached the
stage OF Industrial development where
she is a heavy manufacturer for ex-
mort OF articles which would serve the
farmer. Yet in negotiating the agree
ment wherever there were manufact-
ures that were demanded oy agrlcul-
tnrists the United States farmer was
given the opportunity to get them on
the very best terms. The following are
examples:
The United States rate is reduced
from AZ to 20 per cent on the follow
Ing AGRICULTURAL implements (that is,
the amount of duty the Canadian
manufactures has to pay to get the
article inside the United States)
windmills, hay leaders, potato dig
gers. fodder or feed cutters, grain
crushers, tanning mills, hay tedders,
farm rollers, manure spreaders, and
parts OF the foregoing. Our rates on
farm wagons, as we'll as on traction
engines. are lowered by from one
third to one-half. On repair parts of
miscellaneous farm machinery our
rate comes down by two-thirds, or
from 45 to Is per cent.

PROGRESS OF VANCOUVER
LABOR CONDITIONS.

In the report of the American consul
at Vancouver, B. G., the following will
be of interest to men in all lines OF
business for the information 1t con-
tains about conditions in that part of
the northwest:
Vancouver enjoyed in 1910 the most
prosperous year in its history. The
building permits amounted to $13, 091,-
500, as compared with $7,258,565 in
1909; bank clearings were $45O,0OO, 900.
an increase Of 1892, AGO, 006, and duties
collected at the port, $3.50, 1874, an In
crease Of nearly $2000,000.
Excepting a brick plant, equipped
with machinery from the United
States and having daily capacity of
10000 bricks, no new factories were
established during the year. A large
number of office buildings, warehouses
and private dwellings were erected. An
English construction company has
opened branch office in this city and
has secured several large contracts.
This company, in many instances, fur
nishes all funds for construction work
and guarantees to turn the buildings
over to the owner completed accord
ing to contract before any payment Is
made by him:
A shortage of labor existed in Van
couver and throughout the province
during the first and middle parts of
the year, but toward the end of the
year this condition was relieved and
prospects indicate surplus during
1911. Those who intend to migrate to
this province in search OF employment,
should have positions guaranteed be-
fore leaving home, or have sufficient
funds to pay expenses for time. Such
persons should also take into consider
alton the cost Of living, which is high
er here than in the United States.
Fully Is per cent of the automobiles
in use in Vancouver and vicinity are
of American manufacture, all the lead
ing makes Of the United States being
represented. In addition, some cars
of American manufacture have been
assembled In Canada, but it is under
stood that such cars have not proved
a success. Cars have also been i'm
ported from. England and continental
Europe. There is an increasing de-
mand for motor vehicles, including
vans, busses, taxicabs and delivery
trucks. One firm states that 1t sold
during the nine months ended June,
1910, 100 machines.
. It Is stated that IS per cent Of the
bricks, sewer pipe, plaster and struc-
stural steel used for building in Van
icouver are imported from the United
States. Cement and plaster board are
also imported, and there is demand
for metal lathing and corner beads.
American boots and shoes are in,
great demand on account of their ex
cellent quality, style and fit. One large
retail shoe house conducted by Ameri-
cans handles only goods manufactured
in the United States. Most of the
ready-made clothing sold in British
Columbia is of Canadian manufacture,
the handlers of these goods claiming
that American manufacturers can not
compete in price. However, many Of
the people, especially the Americans,
of whom there are about $4,000 in
