WHEAT EXPORT GAIN
ENCOURAGES CANADA
Early Opening Of Navigation Also
Aids by Relieving Unem-
ployment.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONTREAL, April 25.-Numbered
among the encouraging factors in the
Canadian trade situation, as noted In
the monthly business summary Of the
Bank Of Montreal, is the fact that ex-
ports of wheat for some time past have
exceeded those Of last year, and that
100000 bushels are booked for early
shipment from the Port Of Montreal.
The early opening Of navigation, it is
pointed out, is giving employment to
those engaged in lake and river trafic
and unemployment generally is being
relieved by resumption of outdoor work
in many fields of labor.
Outstanding facts in Canadian BUSH
ness, as set forth in the Bank Of
Montreal summary, are:
The expected tariff changes and an
increase in the sales tax are calculated
to have an important bearing on bust
ness
Iron and steel industries are moder-
ately active, giving larger output last
month than in February, while automo-
bile factories are turning out more cars
than for several months past and textile
mills are well employed
The movement of merchandise on the
railroads still is running behind last
year, an exception being grain, mainly
wheat, Of which loadings up to April 4
were 1892 cars ahead Of last year.
The most serious slump has been In
forest products.
The newsprint industry is still con.
fronted with capacity for exceeding the
market. In the first quarter Canadian
mills produced 534,280 tons, compared
with 604,559 tons last year and with
618,893 tons in 1929.
Building construction is beginning to
pick up with the coming of Spring and
season OF moderate activity Is antici-
pated.
In the mining field, operations con.
tinte to be prosecuted extensively. Gold
production in Ontario amounted to
s3,402, 238 in March, the largest monthly
output this year.

lated Press Financial Write


State highway departments will con-
tribute approximately $1,000, 00o, 900 to
overcome domestic depression this year,
to be expended on road construction
and maintenance.
Facts collected by the American Road
Builders Association on estimated ex-
penditures for the year already indicate
more than $955,OOo,o0O will be spent,
while a number Of Legislatures still in
session have road programs before them.
Pennsylvania leads all States in high
way department expenditures, followed
by New York and Louisiana. Only a
few of the States show decreases.
Forty-four State Legislatures met
this year and road legislation has
been active in most of them. In North
Carolina all roads in the State, includ-
ing $4,000 miles of county roads, have
been placed under the supervision Of
the State Highway Commission, an
innovation In management.
Several States have increased the
gasoline tax. A number Of attempts to
divert this levy to purposes other than
roads apparently were unsuccessful for
the most part. AS a result, the motor
list this year will pay more than ST.
000, 900 900 in special taxes, which will
be used almost entirely for highway
development.
The United States held the lead in
foreign capital investments in Poland
during 1880, with France and Germany
ranking next.
The Commerce Department reports
the total of all financing Of this class
as $1,159, 000, 900, of which $413,I42, 900
originated here. France was next with
SITS, 900, 900. Germany with $136, 098,-
600. and England with sos ,468, 600.
The remainder is distributed. among
Belgium. Switzerland. Austria, Holland,
Sweden, Italy and CzechoSlovakia.
Polish capital invested abroad
amounted to approximately 1856 500, 900,
Of which $43, 535 900 was in the United
States, $30,070,0 900 in Great Britain and
$24,572. 900 In Germany.
Forty-six per cent Of Germany's oil
imports last year came from the United
States.
Incoming shipments of petroleum
products totaled 23,450.000 barrels
valued at almost 100000 900, with the

United States supplying 1o,ss2, 900
barrels
The chief item was gasoline, of which
5,944,075 barrels, about 40 per cent.
came from America. Next in inpor-
lance as sources Of supply were Vene-
zuela with 5,155,25O barrels, out of
the total petroleum imports, Russia with
3,l62,OOO barrels, Mexico with 2,2lS,5O0
barrels, Rumania with l 1853 600 barrels
and Persia with 1885, 500 barrels.
The public debt Of Australia is now
three times as large as in 1914.
A statement received by the Com
merce Department puts total indebted
ness Of the commonwealth and state
governments at &l,1l9,0 100000, as COM
pared with E339,o00,000 in 1914. Par
value OF the Australian pound Is APP
proxlmately $4.46. The current quota
ton is about so per cent lower.
Inc larger part OF the increase was
borrowed in Australia, whereas in 1914
two-thirds represented external debt.
Pending conclusion of its inyesti1a-
ton as to alleged unfair practice in the
sale of Russian asbestos in the United
States, on complaint of domestic pro-
ducerS, the Tariff Commission has re-
queSted the Treasury Department to
require the bonding of future Russian
imports.
On application OF importers, the COM
mission postponed to a date to be an
nounced later hearing scheduled for
May 10.
The National Fertilizer Association
reports employment in the fertilizer in
dustry gained approximately 81 per
cent over February, while pay roll totals
increased about is per cent Index
numbers or employment and pay roll
totals showed a large reduction, COM
pared with the same month last year.

PUNCTURE is COSTLY
LEADS TO MANS ARREST

A fiat tire is sometime aggravating
in itself, but when it leads to your
being caught on the road by sheriff,
it's a great deal worse. Such was the
experience of Arthur Milbrett Of
Cambria recently.
Sheriff John Rietter of New Ulm
was to st. Peter when he noticed a
man fixing fiat tire, about five miles
west of that city. The tire fxer look
ed familiar to the officer, who stopped
for closer look. 1t was Arthur Mil
brett, for whom the sheriff had been
looking because of failure to comply
with provisions of a suspended sent
ence given in Brown county district
court in a statutory case. Milbrett
was promptly arrested and accom-
paned the sheriff to the county Jail
in New Ulm, to await settlement OF
his difficulties before Judge A. B.
Gislason.
