Splendid Attendance at the fleeting on Tuesday Evening --President Cameron Presents the An- nual Review of industrial Activities, Which 1s Optimistic in Tone -Some Interesting Discussion. The annual meeting of the Hoderfeh Board of Trade was held on Tuesday evening, and was the most interesting meeting the Board has had in several years. 1t was held in the council chamber at the town ball, and the aceommodations of the room were overtaxed by the large gathering. which included a number of young business men who were @bowleg an interest to the Board of Trade for the first time. The treasurer, Mr. VV inion Campbell, sat at the receipt of custom and had quite a field night gathering In mernhersbip fees. Mr. M. el. Cameron, president of the Board, was in the chair, and Intro- duced his annual address with a trw remarks on general business condi- tions in the Lown and on the efforts made by the IIoa•d of Trade during the past year -efforts which, be ad- mitted, bad not accomplished a great deal. He then read the following re- ports front the various Industrial con- cerns of the town : The Goderich Eleyator and Transit Co. The past season has, in point of grain receipts, been the most satisfac- tory yet experienced by this Oom- pane. having put through eleven and a quarter million bushels. Ninety-four steamers carried this grain, and with an estimated expenditure of 11(84 each trip for groceries, meat and other sup- plies, quite an amount was circulated among our merchants. Seven vessels are wintering bere and the amount expended in repairing, fitting out, etc., will be considerable. Freight tate, throughout the season were excep- tionally good and vessel -owners par- ticipated in the best traffic earnings for many ye'rs. The extension of the southwest breakwater to its present length of 1.4110 feet afforded-* eastiuiproveoi.ot, hut there is yet too much exposure at the entrance. net can he remedied by an edditicn of 51111 feet to the north- westerly breakwall, end, we was say, steps have already been taken to con- vince the proper authorities of the necessity of ez'ending this et the earl- iest possible moment.

Our ewployeee numbered 150 lest year and we expect to employ as many again this year. North Antennas Chemical Co., Limited. Owing to war conditions and the consequent difficulty in obtaining ell manner of supplies. more especially iron and steel, this Company bra been unable to get its new plant finished.

The Huron Canning & Evaporating Lo. This Uowtwar-y bad a very tear year In the canning part of the business, but on account of the apple crop being very short there was very little doing in the evaporating and dried apple line. Prices were fairly good, both in evaporated apples and canned goods. The season tori the whole was setisfac- tory. They were employing during the canning Beason an average of twenty- five hands, hut could have used twice t hat number if they could have been secured. 1t is difficult to nay what; business will ice like (luting 1917, as that de- pends entirely n1 the crop of vege- tables and fruit. Arrangements are being made to put up a much larger pack of canned golds the coming sea- son, if the vegetables and fruit can be secured, and elan if more help can he secured. The outlook for the demand is excellent. The Jackson ManufacturingCo., Limited. The business of this Company last year was approximately the same u the year before.

The Dominion Road Machinery Co. The road machinery ba'ioess for the part year has not been as bright as that of previous year's, due nodoubt to the European trouble. As our business is done principally with the municipalities and road con- tractors who also depend largely ou the Department of Public Works, the amouut ct rood -making machinery purchased by them has been somewhat limited, consequently we have had to look to other sources from whicb to derive our business- We have secured a number of contracts from the Gov- ernment for the wanufacturat of water wagons and water carts, together with cel Lala portions of uur regular lute. This has [leen our only outlet, although the gloss amount of tattiness did not reach that of previous years. The uumeer of melt employed has varied somewhat, hut on ay *este we hewn employed coterssWtjy from thirty-five to forty web'. • The pnapecta fo- 1917 (o the road machinery business are no$ bright : in fact, a reflection of 1918 is anticipated, due no doubt to the fact that the wu- nicipalitiw will ccneerve their (undo for other imrnediate requirewents, and hold up the progress in the line of road iwprovement until the end of hoetilitir.. In view of this fact, we be- lieve it our duty to turn our attention tp the Government and secure con- tracts for goods which are constantly required by thew, and which could be manufactured here. At the present time we have orders for a large num- ber of water wagon., and have pros- pects of a larger one, upon the com- pletion of the present contract. Our facilities for building chi■ .r•ecial wag- on are very good, the output an1000t- inpg to stout thirty-eix per month, and it has been intimated that the Gov- ernruent•s requirements would exceed this number. rhe number of men employed at present is forty, which is aP many as can be profitably employed wbile we art manufacturing the present line of goods, which require considerable space. --- Eleanor, of Officers. - The election of officers wee then pro - reeled with.

There had been so much talk about time raver Ibesenegotietione that Mr. MTotore's statement was heard with the greatest interest and cleared away some mieconceptioun that had exidted in the minds of citizens who had net heard the whole story. The incident closed wi h an argument on the side between Mr. Moore and the town clerk Ax to the respective merits of the two (Mere. Mr. H. '1'. Edwards wanted to know if the Hoard wait going to give mem- bers anything for their money, or would take their dollar and not give them an opportunity to attend ameet- ing due ng the year.
