Canada Has Spendthrifts, Too

Public men, realizing how impera-
lively necessary 1t is that the resources
OF the country should be conserved
in every possible way, continue to urge
economy and cooperation with the de-
partments of the government estab-
hshed Tor that purpose, but it is quite
obvious that the general public is not
deprlvlng itself of its usual comforts
and luXuries despite the continuously
advancing prices Of all necessaries.
me abundance Of employment at high
and advancing wages, due to war CON
dltons, IS sustaining the present ap

expected, IS not accompanied by evi-

ment Is very light, and there IS little
TO show that much can be expected

me TACT that some authorities esti-
mate that there are about $4,000 900
bushels of wheat left in the country

balance Of the season. Interest was
centred on the outlook for the new
crop. which is exec ptlonally favorable.
ne cool weather Of late is considered
laVoranie for strong root growth. and
with this years large acreage it is
thought the chances are very bright
tor a splendid crop Conditions in
tanada are also promising, and il
everything goes we'll from now until
harvest America should have very
Iarge surplus after providing liber-
any tor home consumption. Reports
rom wheat raising countries in the
southern hemisphere are also very
satisfactory, although the question OF
tonnage makes the movement from
Australia very uncertain.
Corn.-The corn market was fever
lsh throughout the day, with numerous
i'uctuatlons within range of about
cent bushel for the July position.
Sentiment was divided, but toward the
Glose prices advanced sharply, and the
July position showed net gains of "a c.
me advance was due largely to com
plants regarding the condition of seed
corn and by a prediction by B. W
Snow OF smaller acreage on this ac-
count and also as result OF the large
area seeded to wheat and oats. Re
ceipts at primary points continue to
1ail off, and cash markets in the West
were again ilrmer, ranging from to !
cents above those Of Wednesday. The
demand in the East is very slow. as
the trade has been we'll supplied by

fact that stocks are piling up at the
seaboard had tendency to undermine
confidence to some extent. Crop ad-
vices continue very favorable and the
acreage is large one. The Eastern
cash position was weak owing to the
fact that oats have been coming in in
