A despatch from Ottawa says :— Canada's total exports, (Canadian produce) in April, 1923, were valued at 553,642,251, of which 525,944,331' went to the United States, and 513,- 607,856 to the United Kingdom. This is an increase in the total of more than 520,000,000 ever exports of Can- adian produce last April, the figures for that month being 531,917,500, of which 515,498,808 went to the United States and 57,626,085 to -the United Kingdom. Exports of foreignproduce from p .Canada` last month totalled 5685,825 as against $734641 in 1922. For the twelve months ending April, 1923, to- tal exports of Canadian` produce were valued at, .5953,176,194 as against 5728,877,445 in the previous twelve months. Foreign 'produce exported in the same period of 1922-23 was valued at 518,195,678 as g , against 51$,625,895 $ in the previous twelve months. Imports for consumption during the month of April last, were valued at $68,181,320 and for the twelve months ending April, 1923, at 5822,950,909. For the month of April last year im- ports were valued. at 547,695,454, and for the twelve months ending April, 1922, $730,188,939.

A despatch from London says:-- Arrangements for the issue of the In- ternational Loan to Austria are now virtually completed, the London fin aaacial editor of the Manchester Guardian says. The amount, fixed by the League of Nations, according to the Guardian's editor, is about 5135,000,000. Ofthis amount! 5. about 5.30,000,000 has already` . , been floated in short term notes, which will be offered for conversion"into the long terra issue. This leaves about 5105,000,000 yet to be raised: It has been decided to raise the en- tire amount in one operation. Thirty million dollars, five million dollars more than J. P. Morgan and Co: have agreed to dispose of in the United will be raised, and this amount may be even' larger in case some of the smaller nations fail to deliver their quota. France is expected to furnish' two million dollars, while Switzerland is counted on for between one and two millions and Sweden for about three millions.: Austria herself is expected to pro- duce thirteen millions, and it is hoped that Spain will take a share and join the list of guaranteeing states. The British part of the loan will probably he issued the second week in•June, and likely carry 7S4_ per cent. interest, which is the maximum Austria is per- mitted to pay under the League financ- ing plan. I. Gravity of Ruhr Situation Now Apparent to French A despatch from Paris says:—The French Foreign Office spoke more gravely on Thursday of the Ruhr situ- ation than at any time in thelast five months. It is evident that a whole- sale rising of the population is feared. It is earnestly hoped here that the killings will be confined to ' Commun- ists and the police, and that French Poilus ;may not be involved, but none the less, it has been: decided to send heavy reinforcements at once into the Ruhr, probably one division, while Poincare will now encourage the for- mation of the local German police after previously Navin' reviousl disbanded Finishing Sealskin. Natural sealskin is so heavy and salt impregnated, so thick, greasy and coansie.thaired, that no woman would care to wear the furl until it had been properly dressed. Popu aI r Science siftings says that it takes a. number of ,operations to finish the raw skins. They are washed, ,dried, cleaned' with odl-soaked''sawdust and skived to one third of their original thickness. . The skiving requires the most sensitive touch, as the knives must go deep` enough to loosen the roots' of the, stiff hairs :but must not touch the roots of the fur itself." When' the bristles; are Io•osened the skins, are turned over and the bristles are rubbed out. The skins. then go to the hot rooms•,• where the fur inside s exposed to blasts. of hot The Iasi operation is the dyeing that ',gives the fur its, characteristic color. ,:Unlike ordinary things, seal,- skin is colored by being painted with coat after coat of dye, put on ,with, a brush.

'A despatch from ,Pariasays:— Capt. Emile°"Pierrot, who met death with five others in the i'reiSCh airplane which caught fire in its trip to London' last week, was a fa nous war aviator.; His death ^particularly ' affects Paris -1 ions, for Pierrota was chiefly instru-, mental' in the: destruction of the huge' German Berthas which -toward the end. of: the war fired shells` into Paris.! Pierrot's' squadron had the signal honor of destroying two ofthese' great: guns in one day by dropping:'; bombs from airplanes and hitting the ;guns squarely. When the guns resumed, Pierrot de -1 stroyed another; flying as low as fifty meters to drop the bombs with deadly effect He also discovered the -aero- drome whence ' the ° German Gothas took off in their raids on Paris by night. :On many occasions he bombed the field and destroyed several ma- chines. He was. one of the organisers of the anti-aircraft defence positions erected around the city` of Paris: A Urcuque Suggestion. Don C. Seitz, supervising director, of tine "New York World", proffers cit unique suggestion w'hiola at the;; wane Wise appeals in point to practibility' in every aspect. Thiai is no less than,, that the pulp and paper manufactur- ers of the United States adopt th* practice of moving their mills to Can- ada, where there is a more ample sups ply, of wood and• water -power, and that the `water -power now used ,to operate such mills in the Repubiie be hydro -electrically developed so that the current can be devoted to the op- eration of other industries. He points out that,, at the present time most of . the wood used in those plants conies from Canada, and that the: manufacturers• consequently suffer from certain disadvantages by reason of being at such a distance from their source of supply. He also observes :. that paper mills require an enormous aznourit of water-power,and that with the slaughter of the forests has come a depletion' in the flow of power streams. It is his idea that the sites now used by pulp an'd paper mills could be given over to hydro -electric developments and the electric energy spread .among enough other industries, regiziring" -less- power to industrially offset' the' loss of the paper mills to the United States.

Amonj -o es- advantages disclosed 'upon consideration are the solution of the cdal problem for 'industries novo' Compelled to rely on steam -power` be- cause of a lack of the adeguaitd de velopment'of the water -powers df the country and the assurance to the pulp and paper .mills of cheaper wood by eliminating the expensive hauls now necessary and obviating many diffi- culties 'which periodically 'arise in this connection. From the Canadn viewpoint it is enormously gratif3nng, to sae -such a transfer advocated ,from the United/ States' purely as a measure to benefit United States -Industries. Canada has striven to encourage such establish - merits by 'every means within her pow- er, but the national benefits. indirectly following across the line, have not been considered. Mr.' Seitz. makes it ap- parent that such a transfer of activi- ties is not only. calculated to work out to the advantage of the manufacturer accomplishing such a move; but brings an el;pansion of activity from lesser activities in its wake, so'•that;the Re- public has nothing to lose from such movement. Such action on the part af, pulp arid paper' manufacturers in the United States would not radically differ from that which the Dominion has been ex - o' ° periencing for some years.
