The Horse Industry

dustry during the last ten years ollovrs a very considerable change in breeding conditions, also, but to a lesser extent, in the types of horse population of Canada. For a oil that of any other province; in fact it was almost one-third of the horse population of Ontario, exceed- nunlbor of years previous to the outbreak of War, as high as 10,000 horses a year were shipped to the Western Provinces. Amongst this number were to be found good and

dumping ground for what Ontario did not want. The prices, however,

sidcred. The speaker has a vivid ronlculberonce of once seeing a pair horse wanted. Ten yours ago, the tllat \_v.ore shown Ill Southern Saskatchewan as the best buy in tho carload, the price being Three llundrixil Dollars.

AWeekiy Letter from London (From a Special Correspondent.)

London, 5th December. 1924.

Since the Imperial Conference in 1911 approved of the Imperial Wireless Chain scheme, we have had cigbt Postltlastcrs-Gcnoral ill England. Sir William Mitchell- Thompson is the ni-nth and it fa up to him to put this thirteon-year-old project into effect. Mr. Vernon Hartsllorn, who occupied the ofilce under the Labor Government, was

. willing to give permission for the

erection of short wave directive stations. He provided for the most searching tests and unless the sta- tions proved perfectly efficient the was to pay nothing. The fact that the. Marconi Com- puny was willing to make such a t0 their

lnent set up a coulmittoc under Sir

all improved business organization might be set up by the Post Olilco to ensure tho cfilciont manage- ments of state-owned wireless and cablo services. Tho colllmittl-o camc to an end at "the fall of tili- lust Government, just as it wus ready to make ll report, and Sir ltobcrt Donald in a speech to the Empire Press Union stated that llc alld his colleagues on [I19 commit- tee, Sir Alfred Monti, Sir Arthur Balfour. Sir Edwin Stockton und Sir (Yulupbcil Stuart advocated the setting up of a now dcpzlrilllont llll- der tho Postmaster-General to lltliltlll‘ wireless. “To mix up wire- lcss so closely with lilo oitlcr stall- ilizl-d services," he said, “would bo to l-lltel-k its ill-egress and prujlldicl: it llotil scientifically and commor-

The Wool Textile Market

Tho proscllt interesting position of the wool malrkct is wcll sunllnzlr- ized ill an article appearing ‘in tho lalltost issuo of tllc "Journal" of the Bradford Chum-bur of Commerce. lt is slutod that tho riso ill tho value of fillo wools and tops which followed lllp opening of the Ans- Lrllliall season proved to be too rapid, and it wont lunch too for to receive the sustained support of tllo consuming centres. Higher pricos were puid ill London than at tile various sales in the Common- wealth. lt is quite certain that manufacturers h-avc not nrudo pric- vs for cloth which boar anything llko a rvmunorntivc rolntionsllili vitiler to tile Australian or tho Lon- don basis for wool. Just alt tho time when tho primary markets were showing signs of ‘the top 0i‘ tllo rise having bucn reached, thcro came u disturbing clculent ill Aus- tralia that had u depressing effect on prices, financial stringency. The ilclion of tho hanks ill lvlivving this resulted in improved computi- tioll at tho Australian sales.

The demand has steadily in- creased during the last fivll, or six years, and bids full‘ to COWLIIIIIK‘ for another decade, at least. There is a market for the right typo at pay- ing prices.
