Manitoba Farmers Work
at Top Speed on Seeding
A despatch from Winnipeg says:-
"Seed.ng has become general through -
cut the Province, and the -farmers are
working at top speed," Hon, Valentine
Winkler, Minister of \Agriculture,
stated on Thursday. Mr. Winkler said
that the recent good weather had per-
mitted the farmers to get away to a
good start, and that•they were looking
forward to a very good. crop. There
would be plenty of moisture in the
ground this year, he said, because
e of the fact that "tire spring thaw
had been slow and -most of the
water had been absorbeci instead of
running away. The Minister gave the
impression that the late spring had
not delayed seeding to a material de-
gree, stating that the conclusion of
the seeding period'for. Manitoba
rutins was May .15 for wheat; oats,
June 1; barley, Ville, 10 to 15,,and Rax,
,Tune 26. 'Ih„ro was still plenty of
Mae' time for seeding, he said.

Canadian Immigration officials have
been communicated with in connection
with the projected entry into Canada

ount of labor available, and it is there-'

Say Sugar Soon
At 30c. a Pound
A despatch from Ottawa says:--
There is every prospect of an early
and considerable increase in the price
of sugar, it is announced by a man
closely In Mush with the market. The
preeent piece, high' as it is, is based
on the former cast price of the raw
product in Cuba. Counting all the
costs to the grocery store, and basing
then on the new Cuban price; a pound
of .sugar is now worth a little over 29
cents. The factthatpeople are not
paying so much is because the refin-
eries are still using the stocks for
which they paid the lower price, it
was said. The price, it was stated,
will soon be 30 cents a pound.

What the Financial Centre Means,
But all that bas passed, and we now
have concrete figures showing that
British trade is mounting rapidly to
the pre-war level. It is easier now
to judge whether England has been
superseded by the United States as
the financial centre of the world, and
if not, to examine the factors. that
have enabled her to regain her former
rank.
The financial Centre of the world
does not necessarily have to be the
trade centre of the world. That ie, it
need not be the place where the most
goods are manufactured or sold. -to
other countries.
To be the financial centre London
or New York must have the beat
facilities for handling the business
transactions necessary in order that
goods may be exchanged between one
country and another. There must be
smooth working banking machinery
first o1 all. That condition is: a broad

volves properly operated money mar-
kets, stock and commodity exchange,
brokerage facilities, stable currency,
broad bill market, and numerous other
services, such as may he found within
