There were no further changes in yes
terday's local raw sugar market. but its
undertone was firm at 4375c. for CEN

1t was intimated that all of them were
not firm at that level Two srefiners
were unchanged at 5.3Oc.. but not ac-
cepting all orders. The demand was Of
fair proportion. but 1t was evident that
buyers were cautious and limited their
purchases to nearby requirements.

Pulp and Paper situation.

In pulp and paper circles few guesses
about the outcome of the wage dispute
between the manufacturers and the em-
ployees are hazarded The mills are
reopening on the understanding that the
arbitration proceedings will be ad-
hered to. The employees wanted a 10
per cent. increase in wages. At first
a settlement on the basis of the 1919
schedule, or at reduction of IA per
cent from the 1921 level. was expected.
Thus far this year the Canadian ex-
port price of newsprint has been brought
down from the high record level OF
$3.50 a ton to sos for third quarter de-
livery. What the adjustment will be
for the last 1921 quarter remains to be
seen, but a further drop in its price Is
forecast It Is argued that the lower
the price the greater will be the de-
mand and the companies are able to
make good money at SS5 a ton. provid-
ing that their full capacity can be en-
gagged.
The price for which the $4,000, 900
issue of Canadian National Railway
securities was sold in the United States
is regarded as highly satisfactory and
better than expected. The quick abb
sorption of the issue has impaired to
the financial community and the Govern
ment feeling of confidence that little
else could have DONE 1t is an accepted
fact here that this will conclude the
Canadian Government financing in Wall

TRADE SITUATION EASY

| Special Despatch to THE NEW YoaK HERALD.
MONTREAL, July 1.-THE heat wave Is
Canada's most serious trouble. In east
Throughout Quebec the situation Is very
serious and has turned what few short
weeks ago was rather hopeful agricul-
tural outlook into most pessimistic one.
| The situation, moreover, is accentuated
by the serious danger through bush fires
to the extensive pulp limits In the Prov
inces. In almost every direction fires
have been raging for days. the absence
of any wind being the saving feature,
enabling fighters to keep the trouble
more or less localized. In Quebec the
hay crop has been ruined and other crops
are suffering. Farmers are forced to sell
their cattle as they cannot feed them.
In western Canada the situation is less
serious but unless the gentle rains there
continue the wheat and oat crops will
suffer as the heat there has been intense.
Otherwise the Canadian situation Is
easy and unchanged. Industry continues
to operate in half hearted manner in
the hope that some demand may accrue
as the summer progresses. Distribution
Of goods at retail is still poor and con-
sequently distribution and collections
are slow.
Steel Rail Prospects Brighter.
The fact that a new process In the
making of steel rails has been developed
in this country Is viewed as good omen
| for the future. Canada has never been
able to participate effectively in the steel
duction cost, which will enable the Ca
madam mills to enter the competitive

Montreal Is the centre of that industry
and its brewers are making extremely

Canada.

Gus effects on many commodities which

And punched and bit and scratched

Then grandpop turned up both his

And next he looked at me and asked,

Vote at the Primary Election

Many citizens, it seems, have decided to
refrain from voting next Tuesday, their only
reason being that the list of candidates does not
suit them.
Their argument lacks convincing force.
Granted that the list of candidates might have
been better, the fact remains that the citizens
seeking the nomination are the only ones who
announced themselves, and under the law no
others can go on the ticket now.
The field of selection, then, is confined to
those whose names will appear on the ballot.
Voters must nominate from that list.
Since this is so, good citizenship suggests
that the best candidate of those who have an
nounced themselves should receive the endorse
ment of the voters. The nomination of the best
candidate in the list cannot be obtained if the
voters stay away from the polls. 1t can be as
slGed by participation in the election.

most capable candidate, they defeat the very
purpose for which the primary was instituted

Many highly important problems must be-
solved by the next administration. The question
of an economical management of the city's af-
fairs for the purpose of reducing taxes without
necessary improvements or failing to
make required repairs, is one that will test the
ability of the best executive and business man in
Richmond. This alone is problem of financial
administration that requires the election of a
mayor with balanced judgment and keen fore
sight.
The future of the municipal electric light
plant is another consideration which the voters
must not overlook Recent improvements and
betterments will put the plant in the best physi-
cal condition in which it has been for many
years.
But the city probably will have to consider
the future of its electric utility from quite an
other angle Recent consultations of power
plants in Indiana and elsewhere show an unmis-
taxable tendency to concentrate power stations
near the coal mines or near water power and to
transmit the current many miles to its points Of
distribution.
Economy of operation is attained by the ad-
vantageous location of one central power station,
which eliminates the many small power plants
and enables the unit to produce current cheaply
and distribute it at low rates.
The consolidation of plants in the central and
northwestern parts of the state well the
fact that Cincinnati plant already has trans
mission lines whiting striking distance of Rich
mond, present problem that affects the future
of our city.
This in turn makes necessary the presence Of
a mayor and of municipal light plant superin-
tendent who will not be stampeded by encroach-
ments of outside utilities into the Richmond ter
ritory, but will be able to appraise the situation
with good judgment and to act intelligently for
the public good.
