CANADA'S PRESENT TRADE.
OUTLOOK IS PROSPEROUS
(Continued from page 8)
ceptipn by all classes of the impor.
tante of the position which agriculture
occupies( in the business life of Cana-
da, There is evidenne of a disposition
to lean upon the crops of 1015, and to
qualify expressions of optimism re-
garding the future with the remark.
that "the crop is the determining
factor." According to the special re-
ports sent in by the various Depart.
ments of Agriculture, prospects of a
good yield on a largely increased
acreage are bright throughout the
Dominion, With the incentive of
prevailing high prices, farmers have
devoted more time and care to culti-
vation, and generally appear to have
used this year, seed of higher germin-
ating quality than ever before; it
seems to be safe to assume that if
only an average crop per acre is
harvested, the total output will -be
larger than in any year since the
growing of grain was commenced in
the Western Provinces. - The acreage
in British Columbia is said to have
been more than doubled in • the three
prairie provinces it averages twenty-
two per cent; no percentages are
supplied by the Department in On-
tario, but the acreage is reported to
have been increased materially. A
similar oondition obtains in the
Maritime Provinces. In Quebec the
normal acreage is indicated.
The collapse of the building trades
is shown to have been the cause of a
substantial reduction in the column of
sales of Canadian lumber and through'
out the reports there is abundant
expression to the belief that the
domestic market cannot permanently
improve until construction become
general again in the principal centres.
The export trade, however, appears to
be standing the strain splendidly and
the chief worry seems to be in con-
nection with the availability of ships
to carry the forest products of British
Columbia, the Maritime Provinces
aud Quebec, abroad. Ontario exports
chiefly to the United States. There
appears to bo an excellent demand in
Great Britain for Canadian deals, due
in part to the closing of the Baltic
ports, and the Canadian eastern pro-
vincee are expected to be benefitted
accordingly, Where British Columbia
exporters qf lumber formerly depend.
ed to a certain extent upon the Anti-
podean maxket, they are now attempt-
ing to develop markets in the Old
Country and in the West Indies and
American Atlantic Coast via the
Panama Canal, and reports indicate
that success is attending their effprts.
Practically all of the wood.working
plants which are large users of lumber
in Canada are operating at reduced
speed. Furniture and piano manu-
facturers report a trade as below
normal, although it seems to be im•
proving. Makers of woodenware are
in much the same position, Sash and
door firme, and manufacturers of
building material confess to a depres•
sed state of trade in accordance with
the districts in which they aro plated.
Business with these is away cff where
dependence is largely upon building
operations in the large centres; in the
country conditions are much better,
The shipping of munitions of war
manufactured in this country isstimu.
lating the business of mt;,kers of pack-
ing cases. On the whole, however,
there appews to be scant hope of a
revival in the wood -working industry
until after the crop is harvested and a
revival in earnest until the war is
over. When that time comes all the
wood.working plants expect to regain
quickly their former position of acti-
vity.
The probability is that the value of
the mineral production in Canada this
year will not be as great as it was in
1011, when it. totalled $128,475,409, a
decrease of $17,159,313 or 11.8% from
that of 1013, the record year. The
world wide depression in trade during
1914 would probably have been the
means of reducing the output of
minerals in Canada even if war had
not been declared. Hostilities have
had the eifec t of stimulating the pro.
duction and marketings of nickel
however, and it it expected that the
mines of Sudbury district from which
c time the bulk of the wo, ll supply
will show greater activity this year
than for any other year in their
history, They have also a.celeated
the production of lead. The produc'
tion of coal appears to be b3 proceed.
ing almost as usual, nithough the
targe companies report a shortage of
-hips to carry the products. Even
while operating under that handicap,
shipments fxom Nova Scotia, the
largest producer of coal of any of the
provinces to points on the St. Law-
rence River, notably Montreal, show
a considerable improvement in March
oeer that tuonth of 1914. A bunkering
basinese possibly larger than in pt'
similar period in any previous year is
also reported from Halifax,
normal or abnormal in the plants
engaged upon, these government con.
tracts. Orders have been distributed
throughout the entire country and
their influence ought to be foil in all
provinces of the Dominion. Plants in
the four weetern provinces have been
awarded contracts to the value of
$5,000,000. these in the Maritime Pro-
vinces $20,000,000 and the remainder
with a total value of $131.000,000 have
been distributed among the numerous
plants in Ontario and Quebec. Manu-
facturers of iron and steel products
seem confident that business with
them will commence to regain its
normal character when peace, and the
expected movement of immigrants to
this country, restore the building
trades to their wonted state of acti-
vitt'.
Wholesale hardware men, manufac-
turers of plumbers' supplies and retail•
ere handling hardware appear to be
agreed that their decrease in business
from last year may be accounted for
by the collapse1n the building trades.
But they add also that manufacturers
with businesses not specially active,
are not inclined to purchase supplies
of hardware in quantities in excess of
immediate requirements. It is expect-
ed that good crops throughout the
country will partially revive the
building trades and to a proportionate
extent will increase the sales of their
goods add their outlook accordingly
is not at all gloomy.
In automobiles there appears to be
an undiminished domestic demand for
machines of a popular price, but in the
case of the more expensive makes that
condition does not prevail. Foreign
goods appear to be out of favour, and
makers of Canadian cars, accordingly,
are generally optimistic regarding the
future. The farmer as a class seems
to have been in the market since last
autumn to a greater extent than was
formerly the case, and war orders
have been a considerable factor,
Makers of enamel ware, report busi-
ness as directly affected by a lack of
building and manufacturers,of enamel-
ed household utensils, are inclined to
agree that the demand in their lines
at present is for cheaper goods, indi-
cating a general desire on the part of
housewives to economize. But fheir
trade appears to be improving.
In the fisheries industry, the catch
promises to be quite up to the average
volume of other years. The closing of
the German markets appear to have
adversely affected some of the export-
ers on the Atlantic Coast, but it seems
that the deficit from that cause is
expected to be offset by larger ship-
ments to the Old bountry whose North,.
Sea fishing fleets have been reduced by
the Admiralty requisitioning a large
number of trawlers to faoilitate naval
operations, With the possible excep-
tion of the canned lobsters trade the
markets upon which the east coast
fishermen rely chiefly 1 the United
States, Latin Countries. of Europe,
South America and the West Indies
have not been seriously affected.
Preparations are for a larger pack
than last year of canned salmon in
British Columbia and a home and
foreign demand sufficiently strong as
to absorb the supplies is reported from
the west coast dealers. The catch and
the marketings of the inland fisheries
are apparently almost normal. A
certain anxiety is evidenced from both
coasts about the availability of ships
to carry the products ehrpad, but that
difficulty will likely be overcome as
the need arises. For the last fiscal
yeti-, the total marketed value of the
produote of the fisheries was $$3,20tT,c
713. Of this total the sea iishei jes
contributed $29 472.811, and the inland
$3,731,937. A total of 71,776 were
employed in the fishing operations and
20,883 were engaged in the canneries,
freegere, flyh-houses, ate. on shore.
Of course these workers were em•
ployed only during the fishing season.
Is is evident that the large manufac-
turing Welts which in normal times
produced machinery, locomotives,
engines, boilers, sttuctural steel and
act oc , were adversely effected when
war was declared and that they have
been railed away from regular work
and are now engaged in t»enufaetur-
i unitions of warfor

$1500 to the Walkerton hospital and
$1000 to the Kincardine Hospital were
made. Bruce County is liber+ll and
justly so to its ltospitela.

THE FIRE PIROi.3LEM.
Study of Condition, Shows Railways
Caused Over Half.
A study of the Lire problem along
the Canadian Pacific Railway in
Ontario was made during the sum-
mer of 1914 by the company's fire
inspector. It was found that there
were 282 fires in the timber district
of. Ontario, on or within five miles
of the company's lines. Of these,
105 fires occurred on or immediately
adjoining the right of way, while
the balance had their origin on set-
tlers' lands, on timber holdings
which had been logged off, or along
rivers from driving operations,
It was found that many fires oc-
cur in close proximity to railway
lines, for the origin of which the
company is in no way responsible.
Also, the severity of fires is greatly
increased by the large amounts of
inflammable debris frequently found
on adjoining lands, especially cut-
over timber limits, where as a rule
no attention is paid to the disposal
of logging slash. No possible amount
of right of way clearing can remedy
this condition. In Maine, a law is
under consideration, which would re-
quire either the leaving of a green
strip of timber along railways, in
connection with future cuttings, or
else the disposal of inflammable
debris on a strip adjacent tea the
right of way,
Settlers" pleasing operations are
one of the greatest sources of fire
danger, on account of prevailing
carelessness in the use of fire, It is
argued that a permit system is peed,
ed in Ontario for eont;tolling the get-
ting of fire during the summer sea-
son, as is now being done success-
fully in both Quebec and British
Columbia.
On account of its accessibility
young forest growth along >)'ailw;ty
lines has o. greater prtaspective value
than that remote from transporta-
tion, thus justifying adequate pro-
tection from fire by the Crown.
One material source of fire 4ang.r
along railway lines is the use qf the
tracks as tt highway, by pedestrians
of all kinIs, including tramps, un-
employed 1 tbercrs, settlers, etc.
It has so tar been found impossible
to stop this, and many fires have
been started by such agencies which
would ordinarily be attighnted to tile,
railway.
In neer pew* sestinas, as for in-
etance In northern Ontario, the dan-
ger of fire is very great, add local
-organizations are needed in order ty
cops will, this hazard. Supt' pman-
izations stave. been fonnd very effec-
tive in sgmg of the states of the
Union,
Only come of the broader aspects
of the fire situation have been touch-
ed as yet. Much still remains to be
done ,before ;Slay adequate protec-
tion ege,iuflt forest tires will have
been secured; however, the results
obtained warrant the belief that the
fire hazard can be considerably re-
duced, it intelligently handled. This,
of course, must be Assisted by a cam-
paign 4f QalicatloS,
A Pert Reply.
A story told of Sir John •Fiphee
and Lord Chatlee Beresford when
loth were stationed in the Mediter-
ranean will bear repeating. A com-
petition had been held at Malta for
a prize annually presented by Sir
John. It is known as the Malta cup,
and, having so far always been won
by a crew belonging to the admiral's
flagship, it was fully expected by Sir
John that this record would be main-
tained. On this particular occasion,
however, a crew of the Ramillies,
commanded by Lord Charles Beres-
ford, carried it off instead. A day
or two later the fleet was practicing
manoeuvres, and Admiral Fisher,
whose reputation as a stern discip-
linarian is well known, was dissatis-
fied with the performance of the
Ramillies. He signaled accordingly
to its commander the message, "Ex-
plain your reason for being late in
executing manoeuvre." Without a
moment's delay the answer came,
"We are towing the Malta cup."—

The case was settled out of court by
the payment of a fine of $175 , and
posts. We are informed that an ap-
peal will be taken on both this and
the former case against Mr. Bedford
and will probably be heard at Osgoode
Hall, Toronto, to -day, the 17th.
