BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that arc re-
ported or the wheat crop OF Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the est.
mate OF an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
20 bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton.
mage OF the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. P. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
OF S762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding weeA
OF 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. p. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $4,000, or less than half of the
increase reported this year The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. p r. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
&. L. X. and the c. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records The other
day the w. Grant Morden. OF the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions this
tall, due to Canadas record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period I'D
to October 18th. when since shipments
OF the new crop began in August,
4.265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal. not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-

The bomb was ready for instant
