MONTREAL, May 4.-Canada still
offers one of the greatest fields in
the world for expansion of popula-
ton and development of natural re-
sources" Sir Edward Beatty told
shareholders yesterday at the annual
meeting of Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Co.
Sir Edward made the observation
during a summing-up of his address
in which he predicted the company
taking into consideration all present
economic conditions, may look for
ward with greater confidence to the
immediate and distant future than
railways in most other countries"
"Unfavorable returns" of the last
year were due, he said, to combina-
ton of circumstances peculiar to
Canada. The Dominion, in common
with other countries, suffers from
the disturbed conditions due to in
ternational, political and economic
stresses.
"One Of its major industries-that
Of grain growing-has suffered from
drought and from abnormally low
prices for its product. In addition,
your company conducts its business
in competition with another railway
generally paralleling it throughout
the country and subsidized by the
state. While the effect of the COM
petition of highway transport is not
as marked as in some other coun-
tries, it is accompanied by severe
competition from inland waterways" !"

Stock Averages
Compiled By the Associated Press.)
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, May 4-The stock
market today experienced difficulty
in following through on Wednes-
days rally and trends pointed in
varying directions at the close.
New moves on the European chess
board, combined with the threat
ened spread of the domestic soft
coal tieup, tended to confuse specu-
lative contingents. Many traders,
consequently, cashed profits and
adjourned to neutral territory.
Dealings were rather lively in the
forenoon. Activity slackened at
intervals thereafter. Transfers for
the five hours approximated 100000
shares.
Overseas markets dipped before
the opening here following the un-
lookedfor resignation of Russia's
Foreign Commissar Litvinoff, which,
it was feared, would further COM
plicate the political picture abroad.
Prices at London, Amsterdam and
Paris, however, steadied before the
finish.
Part of the hesitancy in all mar
kets was attributed to the sched-
uled speech tomorrow of Polish
Foreign Minister Beck on the Nazi
Danzig claims.
In the home sector stocks came
back after fractional recessions at
the start and gains running to a
point or so were we'll distributed.
Many recoverieS were wiped out,
though, when the final gong sound
ed. At that, there were a number
OF fairly strong spots in evidence.
Some buying was believed to have
been inspired by faint but persistent
hopes business tax revision ulti-
mately would get congressional ap-
proval. In addition, signs were
discerned here and there that heavy
industrial activity may be near bot
tom.
Up most of the time were United
States Rubber, j. I. Case, Interna-
tional Harvester, Union Carbide, ].
c. Penney, United States Gypsum,
Consolidated Edison. Great North
ern, Electric Auto-Lite, Industrial
Rayon, Celanese, Pathe and Texas

Inclined to give ground were

Philip Morris, Loft. Montgomery

period. Gross after expenses was
$s55, ,492 as compared with $718,768.
Income deductions decreased from
$143, 1887 to $84, ,722, largely as a result
OF the reduction in interest incident
to debt retirement, while income tax
provision required only $148,565 as
compared with $185,098 in the II
months ended March 81, 1898, the
latter amount including the undis-
