BUMPER WHEAT CROP

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 27.-If Can ada's wheat crop of 343,OO0,000 bush els were ground into flour and made into bread there would be enough to supply every man, woman and child in the United States with a loaf weighing "A ounces day for four months, or similar ration to the entire population of England for a whole year, according to g computation based upon figures giv- .en out by the Canadian Department of Agriculture

NEW WORKERS KNOW HOW TO
 SAVE MONEY

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The popu- lar idea that the term "New Yorker" lis synonymous, with prodigality in expenditures for unimportant things, extravaganza in, dress and style of living and outlay for bright light and amusements, is refuted by some significant figures just compiled by the Merchants Association. On July l, 1922, the savings banks of New York held on deposit $2,O69,- 77s.S5, representing accounts of 1,680,625 depositors or more than one out of every four of the entire popu- lation.
 "The figures said the statement, "are as significant relatively as posi- lively. They prove that the habit of thrift among the wage earners in the city has grown enormously during the last twenty-five years.
 .1n 1897 the books of the New York savings banks showed deposits to total of s52s,s0 ,247.75. The actual deposits in that period have therefore multiplied almost four times. Within the same period the number of depositors has increased from 1,222,366 to the total as indicat- ed above. It is true that the in crease in numbers of accounts is not commensurate with the increase in population, but significant fact ap- pears in the per capita comparison. The depositors of 1897 showed an average savings account of $432.51 while the depositors of today show an average savings deposit of $1,231.55.
 Those who analyze the signifi-
 canoe of figures may draw various deductions of interest from these remarkable showings which are newly assembled, but any argument tending to show that New Workers in gen eral are wasteful lot, would have some difficulty in maintaining itself unchallenged."

JAPANS STEEL INDUSTRY IN
 BAD SHAPE

TOXIC, Nov. 27.-The iron and steel industry has been in deplorable condition during the last few years and 1t shows no signs of improve been proposed but none so far have been proosed but none 50 far have been tried or carried out Some works have been entirely closed down, while others are working on short time The output of the Gov ernment works shows an increase over that of; the same period last year. This, however, is not the re- suit of revival of demand, but is due to the resumption of work by some of the furnaces that were un- der repair last year. Steel making establishments, except the Govern ment works, have been restricting output. The total production for the forst six months of the year will show decrease of about 10 per cent ever the second half of 1921.
 None of the iron and steel manu- lecturers Is conducting business with any prospect of making a profit as the present market price is barely sufficient to cover the cost of ma lerial and wages.
 The potential obstacles that ham, per the successful conduct of the iron industry in this country are the high wages and high cost Of coal and until these adverse causes have been rectified it can hardly be expected to be placed on a substan- tial basis.
