Demobilization expenses. as the fig
ures indicate, will run nearly as the
figures for the years when Canada's
hghting strength in France was at Its
maximum An important point of diff
ference appears in this, however that
of estimated expenses OF $275, 900 900 on
military account in the year ending
March 81, 1920, the amount required
for expenditure overseas is approx
mately $sl 900. 900, against s1s4 900, 900
for expenditure in Canada.

opposition the Minister of Finance con-
tented himself with remarking that there
was a carry forward Of some $500, OOO,-

Credits Stimulate Trade.

Another point OF interest raised in the
discussion Of the Governments financial
plans in Parliament was that concerning
the credits advanced to foreign Govern
ments
Meanwhile the results OF the credit
arrangements in stimulating industrial
activity are already apparent In a num-
Der OF ways. II was announced semi
oficially during the week, for instance,
that the Dominion Textile Company had
virtually closed an order for approximately
S6,OOO.0OO cotton goods for Rumania, one
or the largest export orders of the kind
ever placed in the Dominion NeRotia
tions are in progress for the placing OF
similar business with the other manu-
facturers OF cotton goods.
The Wheat Export Company has re-
stunned the buying OF flour for Great
Britain, orders amounting to about 75O =
900 barrels now being in process Of al
lotment among the millers. While the
order is moderately satisfactory to the
miiers, the latter are striving for the
removal or Government restrictions and
free market with importers In Europe
Their position to-day Is largely that
apart from their domestic business thew
are dependent on orders doled out by the
Wheat Export Company and cannot pro
vide for the continuous operation Of their
mills.
As TO the effect OF war time restric-
ions on business Edison l.. Pease. Dres-
ident OF the Canadian Bankers Associa-
ton, and vice-president Of the RovaI
Bank OF Canada. noted on his return
from London and Paris this week that
business abroad was marking time
Everything was waiting on the peace
settlement. Once that had been deter
mined he believed there would be a
healthy revival of business in Great Brit
ain. He remarked in this connection.
however:
"lf wages and the cost Of coal ard
steel are increased beyond the POSSIBLE
ity OF competition with the United
states, trade must react instead OF i'm
proving and there will be grave unem-
ployment Meanwhile the United States
Is extending her exports abroad in all
directions"
Mr.. Pease's trip abroad was taken
partly in connection with the opening
OF Paris branch OF the Royal Bank Of
Canada A subsidiary of the Canadian
bank has been formed under the name
of the Royal Bank Of Canada, France.

with paid up capital of 5000. 900

BIG EXPANSION LIKELY

The Canadian Trade Commission ex-
for Canada, according to a report re-
ceived in this city yesterday. In spe-
cial summary of the situation there is
noted considerable quickening of in
terest in everything bearing on domestic
and foreign trade.
The pending signing OF the peace pro-
tocol is expected by all trade bodies with
which the commission is in touch to lead
almost Immediately to relaxing of the
tied up purse strings throughout the
manufacturing and producing countries.
Expansion of trade on reconstruction work
and on permanent peace contracts, the
report says, probably will be unusual
in that It will be on war time scale
both with respect TO size and the time
limit within which II must be completed.
Must Solve own Problems.
Meanwhile the Canadian Trade Com
mission has completed its organization
so as to be able to deal efficiently with
what may reasonably be expected to be
n period OF mucn activity In trade In
Canada. 1t has been found that the ex-
ample OF similar bodies in the United
Kingdom and in the United States offers
little OF value as guide. Problems In
Canada require their own special solu-
ton. great deal of preliminary work
OF investigation into conditions which
followed 80 sweepingly on the armistice
five months ago and of study of possible
developments in the near future has
been carried on steadily. The work. the
report says. has been both heavy and
complex.
Daily inquiries for information on mar
ket openings abroad are a feature of the
correspondence. showing a healthy readi-
ness among firms to take up a new field
of activity made apparent by the Cana
dian example in munition making and
other war work. Their spirit and enter
prise. according to the report, could not
be improved.
A second class of inquiry relates to
the changes, complex in their rapidity, in
British and foreign restrictions by the
war to peace transition regulations. To
meet these difficulties a handbook set
ting forth existing conditions in more
than fifty British and foreign countries
has been compiled. Ut is intended pri-
marily for exporters and merchants who
request II. Each of the self-governing
British domin ions and colonies had to be
dealt with as separate country. Many
neutral countries come under regu-
aations due to the measures taken by
the allied Governments.
Prospects for export trade, according
to the Canadian Trade Commission. are
now extremely good. The announcement
of a British preference for Empire made
goods promises, the commission says, a
FLIP to trade and commerce, and agree
ments with foreign countries are in
satisfactory stage. ThAt between the
Canadian and Rumanian Governments
for the ALLEGATION of the s25. o0o, 900
credit is already in Ottawa Grecian and
Belgian agreements, each for $25, 600. 900,
have been signed and are expected on
this side shortly, while French credit
OF the same amount Is pending and an
Italian credit is under consideration.

RECEIVER YIELDS KNIFE

Whatever the average patron OF the
Manhattan may think of the proposal
for an increased fare whatever he may
think OF the salaries of the bigwiss OF
the system, and how well they may or
may not be earned. and regardless of
any preconceived ideas on the question
of municipal ownership. certain interest
attaches to the news that Theodore P.
Shonts, president OF the Interborough.
the New York Railways Company and
other AFFILIATED concerns. has been the
first TO suffer flguratively since the trac-
ton trouble began.
simultaneously with the filing of
schedules OF assets and liabilities of the
Interborough Consolidated Corporation
in the Federal Court yesterday by Mac
Crane Cox. referee in bankruptcy, it be-
came known that James r. Sheffield,
trustee OF the bankrupt company, had
Topped of the $3.50 a month that Mr.
Shonts had been drawing as president of
the holding company that controlled
practically all the stock of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company and the
New York Railways Company.
While a Ave cent fare still obtains
between the Battery and The Bronx and
small promise Of alternative legislation
from Albany, Mr.. Shonts must struggle
along minus the $3.50 he used to get
every month for bossing the affairs of
the marlborough Consolidated Corpora
ton. Not only that, but the whole
works OF the marlborough Consolidated
may be strapped. 1t used to cost the
holding company $41,534 a year to run

the three last named is to draw 1925

These and sundry other interesting
facts developed yesterday when the
schedules of the marlborough Console
dated Corporation were filed with the
court, as a sequence to the bankruptcy
order issued on March 2S. But it must
not be construed that either Mr.. Shonts,
Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. Campbell or Mr.. Gay
nor will be put in a position from
which they will have TO view the land
lord with alarm. because they all have
other jobs.
The report shows liabilities of approx

Urges hmm diate Buying.

With the idea of stimulating trade
within the Dominion by encouraging I'M
mediate buying the Canadian Trade Com.
mission has just secured returns OF food
stuffs now offering at prices favorable
to buyers. 1t Is the belief of the COM
missions advisers that no immediate
drop in general prices can take place in
Canada yet. The commission is doing
everything possible 10 urge a stabiliza-
ton of prices to restore confidence in
the domestic market and it suggests that
wherever possible It would be wise to
undertake buying now.
1t Is known that retail stocks are low
and that large numbers of merchants are
holding OFF, in the hope that there will
be general slump. As a peace treaty
IL not yet signed, and il may be many
months before anything approaching
normal conditions can he expected in
Europe. there is no sign, the report says,
that expectation OF this drop IL justified.
From the returns already made to the
commission 1t appears that Atlantic
producers are able to fill large orders
for choice grade split behring's and cod
at really favorable prices New Bruns-
wick packers have quantities Of the small
herrings prepared as "sardines," and
there is considerable quantity Of chum
and salmon available on the British
Columbian market.
Wheat -four can just now be supplied
in unlimited quantities at prices favor
able to purchasers and there are large
stocks of oatmeal and rolled oats as well
as desiccated vegetables in cans, stored

Canada regularly imported large quaint
ties of beans Of all sorts but owing to
the very large production last year there
are now some 100000 bushels avail
able for export.
