MONTREAL, August 24.-Many
evidences of an upward movement in
Canadian business despite Midsummer
conditions are reported by the Bank Of
Montreal in its monthly business sum-
mary.
Building construction was higher in
June than a year ago and higher again
in July, according to the summary.
The external trade of the Dominion
was again higher in the month of
July than a year ago and for the first
six months was 4 per cent above the
1884 half-year record
Gold production in the Dominion
is reaching new high levels and ex-
pansion is being shown in several i'm
portant lines of manufacturing indus
try. The automobile output for the
first six months is well above that of
the 1884 period.
The tourist trade, which has be-
come so important factor in the gen.
eral international balance, particu-
larry with the United States, gives EVIL
dence of materially increased volume
during the present season.

der persistent liquidation in a dull
session.
The wheat trade was largely of an
evening-up nature pending adjourn
ment of Congress, but the selling, in
duced partly by the heavy tone of
securities and weakness in cotton, had
mixture of profit taking and
hedging.
Wheat closed x to / cent lower,

changed to 4 off; December, 561a.
Oats lost %a7s; rye, 9saB, and barley
was unchanged to a cent higher.
At no time during the short session
did wheat get more than Il cent
above yesterdays close. Opening
steadiness soon gave way to easiness

more than cent a bushel, and some

yesterdays rally here was discourag-
ing to wheat market bulls. Those
who expected to witness a continual
ton of aggressive speculative buying
that gave the market decided strength
Friday were disappointed. Gables
said the indifferent tone at Liverpool
was attributed to offerings prompted
by forecast of rain in Argentina.
Basing calculations on 100000
acres sown, Broomhall estimated the
Argentine wheat crop at 148,000, 900
bushels, without consideration for pos
sible abandonment. Argentina pro-
duced 238, 100000 bushels last year.
1t was asserted that If present indi-
cations are borne out, Argentina is
not expected to be an important COM
petitor of Canada for world trade
during 1886.
After a display of f1rmneSs corn
reacted in sympathy with wheat. A
forecast of needed showers over parts
of the belt was associated with some
of the selling.

London, Berlin Differ
On Results of ParIey

LONDON, March 80 Q.N.S0.
British and German intimations
of what occurred at the Sir John
Simon--Adolf Hitler meetings in
Berlin last week differed today as
widely as their ideas on how to
keep peace in Europe.
Well-informed quarters here
took the view that the German
embassy's formal denial that Hit
ler proposed an Anglo-German
understanding and sought return
of Germany's pre-war colonies was
prompted by the British foreign
minister's rejection of the Fuehr-
er's suggestions.
Expressing surprise at the en-
bassy's communique, high Off
cials reiterated that Hitler urged
that Britain and Germany stand
together to protect western civili-
zation against Communism, and
promised that if Germany's col
onies now under British mandate
were restored, the Reich would
help defend the British Empire.
These proposals, according to
British information, were in
tended to win England away
from collaboration with France
and Italy, but met with no sue

PUSHES
CIVIL SERVICE
EXPANSION
Senate Committee Approval of
Plan Slated Next Week;
Fight Due on Floor

Expansion of the civil service
came a step nearer today.
The Senate Civil Service Com.
mittee is expected to report favor
ably next week the Logan bill for
this purpose.
Senator M. M. Logan (D.) of
Kentucky, author of the measure,
said today that Senator William
Bulow CD of South Dakota,
chairman Of the committee. has
promised to call the committee
together the coming week to vote
on the bill.
Approval Predicted
At a previous executive session
of the committee, two or three
members registered opposition to
the proposal, but Senator Logan
explained today that, on the
basis Of information which has
come to him since that time, he
is confident that there is suf-
ficient strength on his side to
have the committee act faVorably.
The proposal would permit all
non-civil service employees in the
executive branch of the govern
ment to require q civil service
status upon passage of a non-com-
petitive examination.
Job Seekers Exert Pressure
Senator Logan expressed the be-
lief that practically all members
of Congress would favor the bill if
it were not for the pressure that
is brought upon many of them by
their constituents for jobs. He
declared this constitutes practi-
cally the only cause Of opposition
to his measure. He added:
'Mem&ers of Congress should
realize that If my bill were 10
be enacted, they would have .
great deal more time to give to
the business for which they were
sent here-the business of legis-
lating. The job seekers would
not be continually parading to
their offices and taking their
valuable time, which they should
put to constructive activities.
MEMBERSHIP PLAN
81 believe at heart everybody
believes in the theory of civil
service and would like to see 1t
practiced throughout the Gov.
ernment. 1t is the only fair
way to employ people in the
Government.
But, because their cOnstitu-
ents are continually bounding
them for jobs, some members
of Congress seem to feel that
they should not vote for my bill.
However, l believe my pro-
pOSal should be enacted, and
intend to make every effort to
accomplish that purpose"

Pact Proposal Anglers
japanese MiIitariSts

TOKYO, March 80 1N.S9.
Japanese militarists today en-
phatically rejected possible par
ticipation in a Far Eastern secur'
ity pact with Great Britain and
Soviet Russia.
Discussing reports from Mos
COW that such a proposal had
been Mroached between Capt,
Anthony Eden, of Britain, and
Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit.
vinoff, authoritative japanese
spokesmen vigorously opposed the
proposal on the grounds OF the
'untrustworthiness" OF Soviet
diplomacy.
Japanese Resentful
Military authorities questioned
regarding the Anglo-soviet talks
in Moscow pointedly called at
tention to recent reports that
Russia is strengthening her de-
fenses on the island of Saghalien
off the Siberian coast, which
Japan maintains threatens her
own defenses.
They were outspokenly resent
full at what they termed anglo
Russian maneuvers" to bring this
nation into an unwanted alliance.
The foreign office reserved
comment on the Moscow discus
sions but Eden's talks were fol-
lowed with keen interest.
Japan feels Britain's peace ef
forts are vitality related to the Fa1
Eastern situation and holds that
England is making desperate at
tempts to maintain calm in Eu
rope lest Japan should benefit by
Asiatic expansion while continen
tai nations are engrossed with
their own dissensions.
Envoy Recalled
It was regarded as significant
that Ambassador Ota has been re-
called to Tokyo from Moscow, pre-
Sumably to report on the Eden
Litvinoff conversations. Ota, it is
understood, has been looking into
the possibility Of Japanese pur
chase of North Saghalien for its
oil deposits.
Foreign Minister Koki has or
dered his South American ambas
sadorS to meet in Rio de Janeirc
and discuss measures to strengthen
Japan'S position.

Paris Chamber Plans
New Munitions Bureau

PARIS, March 80 U.N.SO.
Members of the chamber of dep
uties staged a filibuster today,
refusing to take a vacation recess
and forcing the government to de-
mand immediate discussion of
creation of a central bureau for
supervising manufacture Of war
materials.
It was believed the government
originally wished to create the bu-
reau by decree instead Of by open
chamber debate.
France speedily put into opera
men to the military forces by an
nouncing that 19,588,0OO francs
(about $1,275, ,000) was now avail
able for enlistment and reenliSt-
ment bonuses. The appropriation
was rushed through Parliament
last week, shortly after Germany
announced rearmament.
Germany crammed over two and
a half times more than its usual
imports of war material from
France into the first Is days of
March, the Echo De Paris declared
today.
Revealing the preparations of
a country that is no longer hid
ing its plans" the newspaper said
that Germany imported from
France TOO tons of wool, $50 tons
of linen thread and $50 tons of
cotton thread during that period.
All the goods were used in max
ing gunpowder and other war ma
terials, it was said.
The French government has i'm
posed an embargo on expectation
