The writer in charge of the "Finan- cial Situation" in the Toronto Globe looks for a large surplus of this year's wheat, and in the end lower prices. He says :—"United. States and Can- ada, with an aggregate population of -nearly one hundred millions, have this yer grown over eight hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat. Plac- ing the consumptive demand per capita at six bushels per annum (the American basis • of calculation), 600 million bushels would be a very liberal estimate of the needs of the American people until the crop of 1910 should arrive. At such a rate of consumption a surplus of two hundred and fifty million bushels would be left, and it would be necessary to ship -nearly five- miliian bushels a week until this time next year to dispose of the amount on hand. In last week's record of world shipments America, was credited with exporting three million, nine hundred and seventy-seven thousand bushels Of wheat, as against five million, one hundred and seventy-nine thousand bushels during the same period a year ago, whets there were smaller reserves, It is quite obvious, then, that unless a foreign demand arises, which will be more urgent than any other in past years (a Contingency altogether im- probable in view of the record ;yields in the largest wheat -producing count- ries of hurope) a surplus in the supply of grain to the markets on this side of the Atlantic is almost inevitable. alrey.

Why shouldn't we close on holidays, and why shouldn't we be thankful ? Over 15 per cent. better business in 1909 than 1908 so far, and still increasing.
