THE LEAST INCREASE
Speaking more particularly regard-
ing live -stock, the Minieter pointed
out that it had not kept pace in Cana-
da with agriculture or manufacturing.
During the past dozen years wheat
production had more than trebled.
Manufactures had more than doubled.
Horses had increased fifty per cent.
Food animals had increased less than
twenty per cent. There had not been
proportionate developement; and this
was the more regrettable because the
live -stock industry was not only of
supreme important e to manufactur
ing industries by reason of its relation
to food supply and prices. but the very
basis of successful husbandry itself.
In Canada there were only one sheep
and three cattle to four of population,
and two swine to every five. Austra-
lia could boast of seventeen sheep and
nearly three cattle and New Zealand
of twenty-two sheep and two cattle
per bead of population. Australia
had, in 1912, eighty-three million sheep
and twelve million cattle, while Cana-
da had now only two million sheep
and six million cattle. Mr. Whits
earnestly urged that brood etock
should be preserved and that calve&
should be reared to maturity.
BALANCE OF TRADE.
Dealing with the economic aspects
of the war, Mr. White said that capi-
tal upon which Canada had depended
for capital construction had been sud-
denly shut off. It was this inflow of
capital which had hitherto enabled us
to meet the balance of trade against
us. In the fiscal year 1911 this bal•
erne of trade amounted to $170,000,000,
in 1012 to $235,000,000, in 1913 to $300,-
000,000, and in 1914 to $180,000,000,
During the present fiscal year, up to
the end of December, the excess o1
mix. imports over exports was $38,000,-
000. For the same period last year it
was $123,000,000. The reduction had•
therefore, been over eighty millions
in nine months. We are,' therefore,
fast cutting down the adverse balance.
It must be borne in mind that we
have to pay either in exports or bor-
rowed money, not only this balance,
inrushes interest upon vur indebted-
ness abroad, such interest amounting
to.some one hundred and forty miI-
lion dollars. It behooved the people
therefore, as patriotic citizens, to put
for tb every exertion to strengthen the
position of the nation, and this.could
beat be done by raising a great surplus
for sale abroad. "Patriotism and
Production" was a good slogan. It
was also a true slogan' because the
man, woman, boy or girl who sowed
year. A series of Agricultural Con-
ferences, of which this was the first,
were to be held throughout Canada
during January and February. Infor-
mation would be given as to European
conditions, and the 'food requirements
of -the Allies, and there would be dis-
cussion of the ways and means- of
meeting the eituati.in so that Canada's
efforts might be directed along the
line of greatest advantage, To the,.
economic would be added the stimu-
lus of patriotic appeal. All would
wish well to this winter campaign for
Canada and sgainet the enemy. It
would serve a groat economic and pat-
riotic purpose and be the inaugurat-
ion of a wider movement in the direct•
ion of agricultural expansion.

DOMINION BANK:
Net earnings of $925,000 or a decree
of but $25,000 from the high record of
the previous year, are shown by The
Dominion Bank for the fiscal year
ending December 31st, 1914. This re-
sult, in view of the world.wide depree-
sion, and the wise policy of the bauk
to conserve its resources in liquid form
must be regarded as highly satisfact-
ory.

ing the year at the rate of twelve per
cent per annum which with a bonus of
two per cent amounted to $835,000.
Contributions were made to Officers'
Pension Fund and Canadian Patriotic
Fund of $25,000 each. Other Patriotic
donations amounted Co 63.500. Ir is
interesting to note in this connection
that the bank is paying the salaries of
all its employees who are on military
service.
The statement shows that the bank
now possesses the largest amount of
gold, silver and other quickly avail-
able assets in its history. The former
amount to over $11,000,000 while the
total I:quid assets aggregate $27, 800,
000, or over 40 per cent of the bank's
total habil ties to the public. There is
a slight contractions in total deposits,
the decrease amounting to about
$2,000,000. Currents leans in Canada
which now amount to near ly $47 200,-
000 are down $1,300,000 from the fig-
ures of the previous year. Call 'loans
abroad have been reduced too, but
call and short loans in Canada have
been increased somewhat and now
stand at $0,133,000.
Tee Annual Meeting was held at
the Head Office of the Bank in- Toron-
to last Wednesday, and the:Sharehold-
ere have every reason to congratulate
the General Manager, Directors and
Officers of the Bank on the handsome
showing for the year in spite of many
adverse conditions.
