MONTREAL, July 2s.-The chief ele-
ment calling for caution in the Canadian
market IL the question of money supplies.
The Canadian banks have s1s,00o,oo
moro out on call in Canada than they
had a year ago, and nearly 100000
more than month ago. They will
shortly have to face an immense demand
for funds both for crop moving and for
the final war loan, and will have to
draw heavily on their liquid assets. And
1t does not take much calling In of
loans to make the Canadian stock mar
kets very brittle. Brokers'. however. say
that there are at present good supplies
Of private funds available at less than
the banking call loan rate.
The depressed state OF sterling ex-
change--which is bad enough here
though not so bad as in New York-is
causing a good deal of loss to Canada
Ordinarily the nation whose exchange Is
deprecated pays the loss attendant upon
that depreciation in foreign trade; but
circumstances are not at present ordi-
nary and the deprecated buyer Is now
frequently able to fix the prices Of the
commodities he wants in terms ~ his
own currency. Thus, Canadian cheese is
being purchased by the British Govern
ment at the price required TO deliver
It to the British consumer at one shilling
and sixpence a pound and the Canadian
producer has to stand the loss incurred
in translating the sterling price into
Canadian money. The same situation
will be an important factor in settling
the price Of the Canadian wheat crop II
it Is eventually bought by the British
Government.

Canadian Producers Benefit.

Inability Of British shippers to deliver
their goods on this continent, due large
ly to the various harbor strikes but
also to shortage of output, is affording
TO Canadian producers an ideal oppor-
tunity to establish themselves in the
home field. Practically no textile goods
of any kind are coming out to Canada,
and as a result both the capacity and
the workmanship of Canadian mills are
being improved to such a degree that
the British manufacturer will find it
impossible to recover all of his lost
ground.
AgeAts for British machinery are
also complaining bitterly OF untitled
orders and delayed deliveries Some or
the business is going to American firms,
but between the high tariff and the D
per cent premium on New York funds
II Is difficult to induce the Canadian
purchaser to buy in the United states
any articles which there is hope OF
getting elsewhere.

Exchange Difficulties Faced.

A vigorous demand Is being made by
exporting interests for some means of
getting around this exchange difficulty
either by artificlally raising the sterling
exchange rate or by paying for these
products with Canadian credits, to be re-
paid by Great Britain when the exchange
rate is more normal Neither suggestion
appears within the range Of practically
Montreal-London exchange. Is not an in
dependent movement-it is-part of the
general exchange movement between TINS
continent and Great Britain, governed
chiefly by the volume of transactions be-
tween the United States and Britain
which Canada cannot influence at all !;
while II the Montreal-London rate couid
be isolated and brought nearer to nor
NAL, with the London New York rate re-
naming unchanged, the rate between
Montreal and New York would neces-
sarfIy move even further against Can
ada, or we should have the anomaly OF
it's being cheaper to remit from LONDON
to New York via Montreal than direct.
On the other hand, to pay for these
exports with Canadian funds advanced
by the Canadian Government against
sterling bills at par would obviously De
nothing but a subsidy to the CANADIAN
exporter at the, Governments expense.
There is a very strange feeling in TINS
country that the United States should
not only grant considerable credits TO
Great Britain for the immediate import
requirements of that country, but that II
should make up its mind to Tolerate
and indeed to welcome, much larger
| Importation of British goods than was
customary or desirable before the war.
| And in the latter respect 1t Is felt that
the responsibility is not on the United
states alone, but that Great Britain
| should be doing much more than at
present to produce and deliver the goods
for such importation. Altogether, can
ada feels that the sterling exchange
problem is one in respect of which she
has not much responsibility.

|HOLIDAYDULNESS
STRIKES TORONTO
Lessened Trading and Declin-
ing Prices Noted During
the Week.
BUILDING STILL ACTIVE
More Hopeful View Also Taken
Of the Cattle Situation
in West.

Special Correspondence to the Cdnddidn
Section Of THE Sum.
TORONTO, July 2s.-The blight Of holi-
day duiness seems suddenly to have
descended on the Toronto Stock Ex-
change, resulting in lessened trading
and lowering prices. At the same time
general financial and business condi-
lions have many favorable aspects and
close observers have considerable con-
tentment over the outlook. Wholesale
and retail business has lessened slightly
owing to the usual summer conditions.
but building IL active. and the bare
condition Of whosesalers' shelves shows
that manufacturing ia justified in its
continued activity.
There Is naturally disappointment
over the crop prospects in the West.
A business man Just returned from a
months travel there estimates this
years crop at so to 90 per cent AM
other way of putting It would be to say
that It Is very similar to last years
crop, which ran around 10000, 900
bushels OF wheat. In fact, an estimate
OF almost those very figures was made
during the week by prominent grain
been the recent rains, which have helped
the feed situation materially and will
render 1t unnecessary to make outside
provision for as many Of the live stock
as had been expected.
There are still number OF Industrial
strikes in existence, but several have
been settled. In different places the
trial of strength between the One Big
Union and the regular international
unions Is proceeding. This Is notice
ably the case In Winnipeg and Toronto.
In Winnipeg, which was recently the
scene Of the One Big Unions greatest
exploit in Canada, there is a division
and In the case of the maohiIists, for
| example, the international union seems
| to have the majority. In Toronto there
Is reason to believe that the recent VIC
tory OF the radicals in the Trades and
Labor Council elections was partly due
to the fact that the successful candidates
were prohibitionists, as well as radicals
in other lines.

Good Sales of Municipal Bonds.

A singular situation is arising in the
bond market. There have been some
good sales Of municipal issues OF late
where the borrowers got their money al
around SIS per cent. II in the East, and
at about per cent. II from the West
In addition. a number Of large Industrial
Issues are in the market, with yields OF
8 per cent. or upward. These are
being absorbed fairly well, though |,
must be said that the market is saggins
somewhat from the Vim with which
bonds were taken, say two months ago
This may b" partly attributed to the
new scale of Iues set by the Canadian
| loan in New York. but another i'm.
portant factor has entered into the
situation in the last few days This
Is the sale OF Canadian securities ir
Great Britain, which are now comlng
out here In considerable volume. This
comes from the inducement arising from
the exchange situation. bond may be
held at a price in England that yields
say, GA per cent. and 1t may be sold
out here, allowing for exchange on q
basis of about $50 or SIS.
1t can readily be seen what a volume
OF this sort of security might do Il
the local bond market. 1t is alread,
making II difficult to sell some of the
newer municipals which are Offered
around 5.25, and some effect is seen il
the lowered prices Of Canadian wal
bonds. In some issues the market fol
war bonds, which made the yield below
per cent. only a few weeks ago, ha,
weakened until the yield has advanced
to upward Of $50 per cent. Bond meI
are wondering what the result will b,
IL the securities from Great Britak
grow materially in volume. Most i'm
portant of all would be its effect OF
the new bond issue of the Dominion ex
pected in early autumn.

New Dominion Loan.

Discussion on the now Dominion loan
continues, but is as yet confined largely
to the professional element. The resig-
nation OF Sir Thomas White as Finance
Minister has delayed arrangements and
announcements. but II Is now being al
most taken for granted that a large
FDominionwide organization including
many brokers and bond men and a few
well known figures in each locality to
head committees will be formed as last
year. 1t is NOW being seriously urged
by not a few men of influence that
portion of the loan be offered in the
United States.
A financier with a high position on
the Dominion Victory Loan Committee
last year urges this idea strongly. He
holds that the Dominion will have al
most more than 1t can do to raise all
the money necessary, while the wealth
and readiness of the United States for
foreign investments have been repeatedly
shown during the last few weeks. Fur
thermore, the exchange situation would
be so favorably affected by course of
this kind that even the United States
would derive benefit through trade i'm
petus with Canada, apart from the ad-
vantages of the loan as an investment.
The general manager of a large bank
takes a similar view. but adds the res
ervation that this would only correct eX-
change for the time, because the debt
would sooner or later have to be re-
paid. Another Victory Loan official OPP
posed the idea of borrowing in New York
because of the high rates prevailing
there, which would add to the Dominion s
burden, already so high in interest
charges. Besides, he thought it was con-
trary to the spirit of the country, now
that its financial independence had made
such Roadway
A number Of financial statements OF
the week had encouraging phases. All
three great railways made good In
creases in their earnings. The Cana
dian Pacific was up 21.1 per cent, the
Grand Trunk 1871 and the Canadian
National sos. Lest the Canadian Ma
tional be thought to be falling behind
1t should be pointed out that its gross
earnings from January l to date We're
$44,94S,S39, an increase of S5,0l2.715
over the same period last year. In like
manner the bank clearings continue to
show large increases. the total for the
week being S2S4,2S5,S53, an increase Of
ITS per cent. The statement of the
chartered banks for June shows that
savings banks deposits continue to In
increase. the gain last month being s31.-
900, 900. and the total now being
$1,139. 100000. Current loans have
fallen on slightly, but there Is indica-
ton of a growing foreign business by
the Canadian banks.
Steel and Paper Active.
The most active stocks in last week s
market were steel and paper securities,
Dominion Steel led all. but 1t is still
