veiling high. premium for New York
funds, we issued during the year a
series of advertisements dealing in as
simple a manner as possible with some
of the underlying elementary princi-
ples. "These attracted widespread at-
tention and were subsepuently re-
printed in the form of a small bro-
chure for general distribution. The
subject has, of course, many beariuge
and can be discussed from many
points of view. As an instance we
may point out that the premium on
New York funds is an assistance to
such of our exports as come into corn -
petition in the markets of the world
with similar goods from the United
States. To the extent of the prem-
ium, the Canadian producer can accept
a lower price expressed in terms of a
foreign currency, and will still re-
ceive as many dollars as does his
competitor in the United States. Dur-
ing the closing part of the year, as
you are doubtless aware, the rate of
exchange on .New York rose very
high, reaching 19'4 per cent, on De-
cember 21st, the highest point on
record.

Decreased Government Balances.
On the other hand, mar deposits not
bearing interest have 'decreased by
$42,875,453, an amount almost equal
to the increase in our interest-bearing
deposits. This is mere than accounted
for by the decrease in Dominion Gov-
ernment. balances• which a year ago
I included a large pant of the proceeds
of the last Victory lean. It must al-
so be remembered that both the de-
mand for money and the restraint on
the' further inflation of credit which
we have endeavored to exercise, tend
to decrease,t.he balances carried by
business houses and large commerefal
companies in their current accounts.
Another cause which has militated
, against an increase in deposits has
been the slow marketing of last year's
grain. This tends also to keep tip

New York Exchange, a
Probably at no time in the history
of this country have questions con-
nected with the foreign exchanges
occupied so prominent a place in the
public mind as during the past year.
The closeness of our relations with
the great English-speaking...nation to
the south of us has made the prevail-
ing high premium on New York ex-
change a matter of moment to a very
large number of Canadians. It has
come before them not only as vitally
affecting importers or exporters dent-
ing with the United States, but also,
among other things, as having n di-
rect hearing on many investments
which they hold or desire to buy or
sell, and even as calling the., serious
consideration in connection with the
cost of a holiday or other visit to that
country. Theery technicality of the
subject, the mystery by which in the
borrow from their bankers to the popular mind the working of the ex -

difficulty has •,ccut'rcd in fencing
Australian imports. It is hoped that
the situation will be relieved -before
lung when exports of Australian
wheat, wool and meats go forward.
The situation in Indic, New' Zealand
and South Afro's is of a somewhat
similar character. but not so pro-
nounced.
Foreign 'Trade and !Finance.
It is unfortunate that. these ex-
chang e difficulties:difficulties:should arise just at
the time when strong efforts were br-
ing made to exLenti the forcing trade
of Canada. Undoubtedly the situa-
tion as regards foreign trade is n
most difficult one at the present time,
not only because of exchange ques-
tions but also because of the instabil-
ity of the financial situation in many
foreign countries. The collapse of
sugar prices in Cuba and elsewhere
is one instance of this, and in a period
of falling ,prices all over the world it
is admittedly a most difficult matter
to extend foreign trade. Nor is the
problem rendered any more easy of
solution by the high level in Canada
of all costs of production, including
wages. As pointed out recently by
a high authority in England, "only
the country in which prices are com-
paratively low can have an export
balance in its favor." It is to be
feared, therefore, that until some re-
adjustment of the situation takes
here can be little probability
of any material extension of our trade/
abroad.
Government Ownership.
The important experiment has re-
cently been tried by the Dominion
Government of placing the manage-
ment, of the publicly -owned railway
lines in Canada in the hands of a
corporation, the ownership and con-
trol of which reside in the Govern-
ment. The experiment is an interest-
ing one, and bids fair to determine
the feasability of successful carry-
ing on the business of a great cor-
poration under government ownership.
There have been many obstacles to
overcome at the start, and the traf-•
fie conditions of the year have not
facilitated the task of those in
charge• but it is only fair that they
should be given full opportunity to
demonstrate their ability to carry on
the enterprise and to make the ex-
perimenta sut'eeet.
Hopt'fiil Outlook.
The year we have just passed
through has been one of surprises. At
its ctitnmencemtntt the tide of rising
prices seemed unchecked, and the idea
that a rapid fall was imminent was
considered altogetherpreposterous.
Yet this is exactly what has hap-
pened. Once again the seller is hav-
ing to seek the buyer, instead of be-
ing besought by him. Probably one
of the principal obstaeles at the .mo-
ment to the -e-establishment of busi-
ness en a mere normal basis is the in-
stability which prices have manifested
during recent months. This condition,
however, cannot be of long duration,
and we may hope that before the
winter has 'run its course it may be
a thing/of the pest. Meanwhile we
repeat, &ice again what we have so
often urged, that the whole world
must aim to work hard and avoid
extravagance if the damage caused to
both property and credit by the late
war is to be repaired. l
