pect that the trouble will be more
keenly felt during the ensuing months.
The ahe•on• of many employees from
manufacturers' establishments while
on the firing line, it is claimed, will
cause the conditions which the mer-
chants fear.

experience any caange in conditions.
This is due to the fact that a large per-
centage of some stocks are made up of
wares imported from countries on the
continent while other% handle chiefly
Canadian goods.
A dealer in expensive fancy wares
told The Signal that ninety per cent
of his stork was imported from Great

Following in the trail of almost
every electric storm comes the report

lomat property and stock. This will
all always be so until some genius,
who may not understand electricity
but can divert or harness it in its
rampage through tbe.Nso.phere, con-
trives some way to deprive it of the
pleasure of destruction. to each arta
