They handle lovely things—bulbs, seed and flowers, China and glassy and gay -backed maga- zines, Velvet and satin, foreign silks and Iaoes.

M. Letts. Dickens's Last Letter, Denial of Irreverence, Sells for £40. The last letter Charles Dickens ewer avrote has been sold at auction. for £40, a figure much below what was expected. The Ietter, dated "Gad's Hi14 Place, June 8, 1870," is addressed to • John M. Makeham, who had com- plained_that Dickens was thought to have been guilty of irre%rence in. some of his books. Dickens wrote in reply: "It would be quite inoouoeivable to me but for your letter that any reason- able easonable reader could possibly attach a Scriptural reference to a passage in a book of mine, reproducing a much - abused figure of speech, itiipressed into all sorts of inapprapriate occasions, without the faintest connection of it with the original source, I am . truly shocked to find that any reader can make the mistake. "I have always striven. in my writ- ings ritings to ,express veneration for the life and Lessons of Our Saviour, because I feel it, and because I rewrote that his- tory for my children—every one of whom knew It from having it repeated to them long before they could . read and almost as soon as they oould speak; but I have never made procla- mation of this from the housetops." How to Foil Auto Thief. Many cars are fitted with a battery ignition system in which the distriub- tor am is removable. By removing this arm, the car owner makes stealing his vehicle possible only by towing it •away or by fitting another distributing arm.

CONNOR SON, LIMITED Manufacturers (Order Yours Now) Ora rio Ottawa INDUSTRY OF CANADA ONE OF FAST-GROWING M'ORTANCE. Export Trade Has Developed Rapidly, Penetrating Into All Parts of the World. Though the automobile iiadustry Canada does not yet occupy, the same relative position to general business in the Dominicaas the 'activity does int tte United States, it isnevertheless one of fast-growing importance and the produotiou of automobiles has come to be a fairly significant factor in appraising the general industrial situation. It is therefore gratifying to Mid that the industry wasconsiderably more active in 1925 than in 1924, and that the tendency .has been metedmetedpronouncedly into 1926. In 1923 the automobile ranked sixth. among the great industrial activities. of the Dominion, and both caar pitalIz• tion and the value of productiop. have increased'since that time, ter the in- dustry is, continually expanding. Be- tween the . years 19t0 and 1924 the total • capital, employed in Canadian automobile manufacture, overwhelms' ingly from the .L7nited States, increased from $53;906,506 to $60,766,886, and since 19,17 the capital invested has been more than doubled, With two exceptions in that pealed, due to the vacillations of post-war influences, the yearly growth has been fairly steady. The Year's Production. During the year 1925 Canada pro- duoed -139,311 passenger automobiles and 22,075 motor trucks. In both theso divisions the expansion is quite a con siderable one over 1924, when profuc- tion of 117,765 passenger cars and,;17,- 481 motor trucks was recorded. Whilst the exact figures of motor vehicle rs- gistrations in Canada for 1925 are not known yet; it is definite that they showed a substantial inorement over those of 1924, when '652,121 were -re- corded, an -increase over 1923 of 65,271, passenker cars showing an. increase of 58,795 and motor trucks 1,316. The apparent consumption of automobiles M Canada in. 1924 was 6,203 freight. automobiles, 62,575 passenger vehicles and 16,172 chassis. Though Canada ranks second to the United States in the per capita owner- ship of autoMobiles, and a heavy re- placement is 'necessary every, year, the Canadian automobile industry has been built up mainly with an eye to the export trade; particularly in se- curing the advantages of the prefer- ences in tariff existing between the various constituents of the British Empire. This has developedata very gratifying rate. In 1925 Canada ex- ported 16,146 freight autos worth $5,- 250,002, in comparison with 12,772 cars worth $4,429,161 in the previous year; 58,005 passenger autos worth $27,794; 884, in comparisonwith 43,883 autos worth -22,080,232 in 1924; and auto parts to the value of $6,372,728 as coin- pared•with $4;992,049 an 1924. Exported to Many Countries. Trade statistics show that Canadian motor vehicles penetrate into practi- cally all parts of the world and are to be encountered in the most unespect- ed places. Freight automobiles, of one- toii capacity' or less, sold in the ten months ending January, 1926; to the value of 34,430,313, move in greatest number to Australia, and then British India, New Zealand, the Dutch Bast.
