One of the largest and most reliable Dry Goods firms of London, England, has written us as follows :—
"During tite.L>ast few weeks there has been an idea of uncertainty and we might say uneasiness on the
part of the purchasing .public that prices will begin to recede; that in a few, months goods will be obtain-
able at a much lower level than at present. Front direct information whieli we ltavb^received there appears
to be no indication of a recession in price.
• in wool tiro position appears to be most difficult, Stocks of raw wool in England today are very low.
and even the present curtailed reduction is causing great 'anxiety.. No substantial- improvement is possible
before August at the earliest. 'Moreover there is a world shortage of wool goods. It is today impossible
to induce the cloth manufacturer to accept new business on any terns, and prices when quoted are much
as -40 percent. above those- asked a year ago. Many of the leading manufacturers predict a still higher price
for the -Winter of next year. Cash orders in the hands of the manufacturers and jobbers in England today for
delivery to tate neutral European countries are enormous, many of which have been held for as long as nine
months for, license. Any quantities of manufactured wool piece- goods, that are offered in France, are
being immediately picked up, and instances are related where merchants in the districts just receihtiy vacated
by 'the Germans are requesting tray ellers to immediately bring forward any wool goads which they have to
offer.
•
Take cotton as another example. Stocks of the raw material are so short as to entail restricted em-
ployment in the spinning mills, and weaving sheds, besides this, wages harp advanced considerably in Lan-
cashire and .the future costs must be based upon the curtailed output and the advanced prices of its produc-
tion,
The silk situation is largely in the, hands of France, Italy and Switzerland and at the present rate
of production high grade silk goods from these countries will not J1 e any cheaper for some time to come. The
Japanese market at the moment. has advanced and further advances are anticipated. The increased cost of
cocoon production which we might say has advanced from 150- to 300 percent, as well as wages which have
increased 300 percent. in some districts has been the cause of this tightening and further anticipated ad-
vance: The American market is in a very similar position with very decreased stocks and a limited sup-
ply of raw material for additional output."
•
.From these facts pdttaining to the dry goods trade we And there should he no excuse for putting oft
baying now in expectation of an early reduction in prices. With the employment of labor in the different in-
dustries et this country and public works now planned and the re -habil lation of the soldier back to ,civilian
life, the demand will be, we believe, far greater than the supply for some time to come.
There is nothing to gain and much to lose in delayed shopping. The hest time of all Is NOW.

A very pleasant event took place
at the home of Mr. Albert Tmewm
just before Christmas when the mem-
bers of the choir of Burns' Presby-
terian church gathered for the pttr-
peso of presenting Miss Agnes Tre-
win,'organist of the church, with a
cheque for eighty dollars on behalf of
the congregation. The . presentation
was made by \Ir. Chas. Parsons and
the following address read by Miss
Katie Reid :
"Dear Agnes,—Your many friends
in Burns' church heard with much
pleasure• of your approaching mar -
tinge. As members of the choir and
on behalf of the congregation we wish
to convey to you our Congratula-
tions. We aro pleased that your: -new
home willnot be so far away but
that you can visit us from tine to
time, and wo trust we shall be able
to visit you. However, you are re-
moving so far•that you will tot be
able to continue to pecrfortn your
duties as organist. You will indeed
be missed by the members of, -our
church, Means() of your kindly inter-
est in every department of the work
Of the cltireh, but especially by the
members of the choir, for as our
Organist you, were always faithful to
your duties, also courteous and kind
to every hnctitber, We !nava learned
re -
to love you because, perhaps unconsci-
ously, you have taught us to ap-
preciate more fully the value of those
moral and spiritual qualities—kind-
ness, sweetness of disposition, and
unselfishness, which you possess, in
so marked a degree. But we do not
wish to express our appreciation in
words only, therefore on behalf of
tine congregation of Burns' church
and as members of the choir we ask
you to accept this marked cheque as
a tangible expression of our apprecia-
tion, lye commend you to the care
of the Good Shepherd and trust that
in your future life He will lead t ou
always in pastures green and by
waters that are still. Signed on be-
half of the session, congregation and
choir.—James Abery, minister ; Alex-
ander Reid, choir leader."
