While marked activity in indus
trial and mercantile operations
has continued in Canada, the
Bank Of Montreal business sum-
mary reports that the first quar-
ter of the year has ended with
business conditions in some re-
spects unsettled as a result, first,
Of a widespread impression that
the United States Government
contemplated a reduction in the
price Of gold, and, second, of labor
unrest having spread from the
United States into Canada.
Meanwhile the upward swing
in industrial operations has been
reflected in an expanding volume
of business on the railways, which
is being accentuated at the mo-
ment by the opening of navigation
on the st. Lawrence waterway. Up
to the week Of April 10, the figures
of which are the latest available,
carloadingS has been consistently
better than in the first quarter of
1886, with manufactured products
figuring prominently in the in
crease. !
In the industrial field the pri-
mary iron and steel plants, and
allied industries making durable
goods, are buster than they have
been for years, and in some cases
difficulty is being experienced in

WEATHER HARD

Lacking the stimulus Of favor

week failed to reach its seasonal
degree Of acceleration. Compared
with q year ago, however, business
was favorable.
Movement of spring merchan-
disc broadened rapidly on some
days, with q market Improvement
in demand for women'S wear. No
consumer resistance was reported
to the mark-upS on shoes and
mems clothing. Furniture ana
housefurnishings still headed the
lists Of many shoppers. Sales also
increased steadily in druggetS ana
homeSpun rugs.
In. spite Of April showers, only
a few Of the leading centerS failed
to equal the sales totals OF the
preceding week and all showed
Improvement over the previous
year. Estimated volume was 8 to
is per cent above the 1886 week
for the country as whole. New
England States were IL to 16 per
cent better. For the East the IN
crease ran from 6 to % per cent.
The slower rise in retail d1Str1-
button restricted buying in some
Of the principal wholesale mar
kets this week. Most Of the slow
ness was in the women's wear
branches. While gains in some
divisions such as carpets and dry
goods ran to 30 per cent, the aver

TAX REVENUES
SEEN SMALL

The Governments procedure OF
putting on the market, from week
to week, new series of $50, 900,
900 offerings in Treasury bills, i
due to the fact that actual revenue
receipts are substantially below
earlier estimates.
Poor'S stock reports point out
that income tax revenues fell he
low estimates by $685., 000, 900, es
tate taxes by 100000 and
railroad benefit taxes at least
100000. The Treasury overeSti
mated revenues from all sources by
between $500, O0O, 900 and $500 GOO.
600. The report adds:
"The currently unfavOrable
condition Of the Government
bond market is probably the
strongest. factor influencing the
Treasury in making up deficits
through shOrtterm loans, rather
than by the sale Of lOng-term
maturitieS. The ShOrt-term OBJ
legations, added to our floating
debt, will have . maturity in
mid-September. Apparently, the
Treasury Department Is hopeful
that conditions by that time may
be more favorable for the sale
of additional Government bonds,
and the funding Of this floating
debt.
"The success Of future flOta-
lions Of Government bonds will
depend upon Investors conf
dence that the Administration is
seriously attempting to balance
the Federal budget. It is Obvi-
OuSIy impossible to sell IOng-term
Government obligations at low
interest rates when the financial
policies of the Administration
are such rs to destroy cOnfi-
dence in the lOng-term future Of
the Governments credit"
A second factor which enters
the situation is private demand
for credit, the survey says. Il
this private demand shows q
marked increase, either due tc
increasing business activity Or in
creaSing speculation interest rates
will rise in the money market, il
is pointed out. Consequently, the
Government will be forced to com
pete with the higher returns OBJ
tainable by employment of funds
in channels other than Govern
ment obligations.
