A despatch from New York says:—
Calvin Coolidgr's election to the Presi-
dency of. the United States proves, as
the returns near coroplete tabulation,
be an oVer.wlielming Republican
victory.. The .part,y's popular total,
very probably will exceed the stagger-
ing 1-Iardy victory of 1920, and the
President's position in the Electoral
College probably will rank third in
strength in the whdle history of the'
country, The results of Titesday's
election, as tho' appeared od the lat-
est 'tabulations, are as follows froni,

Both Houses of Congress will be

they' appear to be Republican by nia-

and his party leaders to fight success-
fully the bloc ..opposition which saw
his measures and policies so often
overridden in the past Congress. This
is -lee, reet both as a direct, numerical
result and because -the country has

the radical element, that it 15 regarded

Comment on the Stand 'Taken
by Americans in Favor of
Quiet, Stable Goverutnent.
A despatch from London says:—
The outstanding point ot the majority
of the London newspapers' comment
on the II -lilted States elections is that
.it emphasizea the prevailing desire of
the democracies of the world for a
period of. quiet, stable government
and that the people of America are
no more than those of Great Britain
in a mood for the experiments of Pro-
gressivism. „
The Conservative Daily Telegraph
regards the "outcome" as if much
more amazing triumph than that of
the Conservative party hi. Great Bri-
tain. The general desire for continu-
ity and stability in national adminis-
tration, it adds, "has been more than
ebrinaonly strong."

The- ExPlosives' Division suggests
that detonators should not be cenvey-

The point of this a,ppFal is that
greater, care should be taken in, the
care of explosives, that detonators
should be kept away from children,
who are naturally curious; that the
danger should be explained, and the
need for care impressed upon all
workmen who are intrusted with the
use of explosives, and that both ex-
plosives and detonators should be se-
cured against theft by both adults and
children. :0f the 61 persons injured

explosives that they may be protected

'EXPERT CITES REASONS
FOR • PROSPERITY
Twentieth Century is Canada's
and World Waking Up to
Our Possibilities.
A despatch from Hamilton says
:—
Seven reasons why business conditions
should show an, upyra.rd trend during
the next six months were cited to the
Purchasing Agents' Association by
John T. Kingsbury of Babson's Sta-
tistical Bureau of Boston.
The reasons on whicR the Babson
organization have based their opti-
mistic 'forecast are:
• 1. Two-thirds of the period of re-
adjustment have been experienced.
Hence the worst is weer.
2.. The purchasing power of the
Canadian farrnertas been greatly in-
creased, despite the decrease in the
volume of major crops. The farmer
Is receiving from le to 20 per cent,
more for his product this year., This
means more business.
3. Cauadian exchange is now ' on
a par with the .Amierican dollar. This
points strongly to one conclusion:
Bankers have a substantial faith in
Canada and its future.
• 4, The world at large is waking up
to the unbounded—possibilities offered
by investment in Canada, Many
authorities who have studied Canada
closely believe that, as the nineteenth
century made the United States, so
in a like degree will this century make
Canacia,
5. There are no burdensome sup-
plies of commodities overhanging the
Canadian market. This obviates liqui-
dation and discount.
6. The balance of trade in Canada
has never been better since 1919,
• 7. European conditions are steadily
improving. ..The uncertainty caused
by the Presidential elections in the
'United States is now dissipated.
In weighing year opinions consider'
youe own prepossessbns: the weight
of a thing never varies, but not all
scales are true.
The 62 vessels comprising the rani-
enburg, NS., fishing fleet have this
year secured 170,425 quintals of fish,
yhich haVe been sold for $1,539,200.
The average eatch this year is larger
than last year and conditions are gen-
erally better, all the catch being al-
ready sold and the fishermen noev hav-
ing the cash.
