TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Ag-
riculturaI Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and Com
merCe.

Tho trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-
iatchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not q myth. There is today q
spirit Of optimism in the air. just as
two years ago there prevailed the op-
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt In every department Of business in
tie Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before In their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in q more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested a record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent Of some
thing over 100000. ....
In the cities the prosperity Of the
country has been reflected. Every
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory, and finan-
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg-
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
in the history OF the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mall
order houses have had a big year. the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity Of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead. forging ahead in actual
production and in creation Of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds. paying up their back
debts. while going along carefully as
regards any creation of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
of the United States and OF Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada.
and 1t has been published to the world.
The condition of western Canada at
the close of 1915 is one of optimistic
prosperity. backed by the same deter
mination of western people to go on
Increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
Is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.-Adver-
tisement.
