NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Despite the
sharp recession experienced in this
country during the month of Novem-
Der as compared with October. the
index Of Canadian business activity
not only held its own, but registered
q slight gain in November, according

This continued prosperity has

stantially reduced the harvest in the

Meanwhile Canadian agriculture on
the whole was reported as more profit

development and production attained
new high figures in 1887, transporta-
ton services increased their revenue

greatly reduced in volume.
"Canada's external trade made q

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-In a new
study of department stores and mail
order companies, Poor's Industry and
Investment Surveys forecast no i'm
provement in the public's ability to
buy over the nearer term, in view of
the continued slump in the heavy
industries and uncertainties regarding
the levels of agricultural prosperity
during 1888. Consequently, the out
look for department stores and mail
order company earnings Is drab, at
least during the earlier months of
1898.
"Buoyed by agricultural prosperity,
dollar sales of department stores and
mail order houses remained at high
levels throughout most of 1897, even
though industrial activity receded
during the latter part Of the year."
continues the survey. Not until No.
vember did sales decline below levels
OF year earlier. Prior to that time
prices of department store articles
rose rapidly throughout the latter
months OF 1896 and over early 1887.
Partially because of the impetus of q
rising price level and partially be-
cause Of expanding public purchasing
power, department stores increased
stocks over this period, even though
physical volume Of sales had been di-
minishing since November, 1885.
With consumer resistance to higher
prices growing as prosperity receded,
department stores have been faced
with the necessity Of cutting prices to
move their large stocks Of merchan-
disc during the important Christmas
season. Results are shaded profits, If
not actual inventory loss.
Relatively inf1exible and high costs
characterize the industry, since It Is
usually impossible to cut expenses to
conform closely to. volume Of busi-
ness. Costs increased in 1887, not
only because Of higher wages paid, but
also because Of new taxes which are
difficult to pass along to the con-
sumer.
Mail order retailing has held its
own, far better than was to have been
anticipated, against the automobile
and hard roads which made city stores
so generally accessible to the farm
ing population. Nevertheless, the
shifting of purchases away from mail
order houses is to continue, and only
those companies with established re-
tail outlet have solved the problem
Of retaining their trade"

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Performance Of
London markets this week WIS salts
factory when viewed against the back
ground Of the world situation: for ex-
ample, the Far Eastern menace, the
French political crisis, inevitably in
volving heavy sales Of francs, and the
continued anxious watching of the
American business situation.
The American situation still DOM
mates the leading commodity markets,
especially copper and rubber. Revival
of activity in British industrial shares
also is mainly dependent upon Wall
street. The tendency of close Lon
don observers is to view the American
outlook with increasing confidence
Conferences Watched.
1t is considered here that intensi-
fled rearmament. combined with mer-
camille shipbuilding, housing con-
struction, cheap and abundant money
and big spending power in agricul-
tural communities spell an effective
check to the recession and give fair
promise that real recovery will be re-
sumed in = few months after an in
termediate period Of consolidation
the effectiveness Of which will be de-
termined by the result Of the confer
ences between President Roosevelt and
business leaders
The future Of the French franc
depends upon political developments,
which are inscrutable. Finance Min
lister Bonnets good work, which re-
suited In quite an improvement in
the last three months, Is regarded
as insufficient, and big task still
awaits French statesmen in restoring
basis Of sound finance and stable
economic conditions This is con-
sidered indispensable to . return OF
confidence, reparation of capital
and substantial London credit, which
Is hoped for by Paris next month.
Sentiment Cheerful.
Investment sentiment here Is cheer
full, although renewed activity awaits
clearer international conditions. Gilt
edged issues were strong. with mild
and intermittent speculation in oils
and gold mining. Foreign bonds,
especially Chinese and Japanese, were
sharply down on an uncertain out
look. British industrials marked time
with no selling, but fresh demand
hangs fire.
The home situation is satisfactory
despite the unemployment increase Of
the last two months. A rise in I'm.
employment is likely to continue this
month because Of seasonal factors,
but the iron and steel trades are
working at record production, retail
sales are good and rail traffic encour-
aging.
