American Money in Canada

One OF the interesting features Of
trade development in Western Canada
is the large amount Of American money
which is in circulation there. Sooner
or later much Of this goes back to the
United States. ST. Louis gets con
siderable portion Of it through her
shipping OF shoes and leather goods
TO Western Canada, far surprising
Boston in this trade, and Detroit is
receiving and will continue 70 receive
a great deal OF this money in payment
for automobiles. The motor cars OF
Detroit manufacture are especially and
almost exclusively favored in Western
Canada. The great mail order bust
ness Of Minneapolis and ST. Louis are
also cultivating a large trade with
Western Csnada.-The Monetary
Times.
