Silver Fox Inmtry A Large Contributor To Wealth O.

Untnlstakulble economic uptrend is seen in the flourishing condition of the siWer for industry n Prince Edward isl- and. The industry has stood the test of the depression possibly bot- ier than any other farm rtlvity in Canada. and the past year has been one of most encouraging pro- gres. The abuses which crept in during the boom period some years ago have been entirely erad cawcl, the industry being now on a firm pelt basis, second in stability to no other livestock enterprise.

The i923 markets showed an ud- vance of 39 per cent over inst ycar; s remarkable achlcmment. and one which may well be interptwed as s s'gn of world eocncm" recov- ery. The prcdurts of th.» industry wing sold on foreign markets, the

oceods helped materially in ma n-

lning Canada's balance of bade.

A prime factor in the sucors; oi the industry this year was the ut- tentlon given by the individual rancher to improv ng his brooding nook. Credit must also be given \o the more ordzrly marketing oi

The number of this year's pups is esti- mated at 50,000.

Indicative of the increase in pelt shipments is the fact that. the As- sociation, which up to Dec. 22 last y ar had shipped 4.10.’) pelts, this year on the corresponding date, had about slapped 11.300.

The demand especially hes been for large szed skins of clear ine- dium and three-quarter colour.

It is expected the demand will mmain steady during the pesent season. with good, but not spec- tacular, prices.

Will Retire

As Commissioner , Of Customs

(Canadian Pres!)

OTTAWA. Dec. 29—R»etirement of R. W, Brradner. Commissioner of Customs, from his present position is regarded here as a possibility of the near future. Mr. Breadner has been in poor health for some con- sionrablc time past. it is suggested. however, that a new post be creat- ed for him, one that would relieve him of all the administrative de- tail connected with hts position but would still rctaln him in the Gov- ernment. service in order that the Department of National Revenue might continue to have the benefit of his long experience.

H. J. Bcully. Covmniimimer of Excise, is mentioned as m. Bnead- ner's most likely successor.

Probabilities are that David Sim. who has been secretary to three Ministers of National Revenue and performs that function at present for Hon. B. O. Matthews, will sue-y eeed Mr. Bcuily as Commissioner of Excise.

Signs Of Economic Betterment

Noted By Mr. On Visit T<_>__(_I_entral Canada.

Cheering evidences oi economic recovery were noted by Mr. H. K. B. liernm n5; on his visit recently to Central Canada.

While we are now experiencing l. severe cold snap in this Province. Mir. l-iemrning states that for two weeks without. a break the weather was very cold in Montreal. He spent Christmas in Quebec, and left there on Wednesday afternoon. only arriving home after 11 o'clock Thursday right.

“The chief trouble experienced." he reports, “was on this side oi Newcastle, where we were snow- bound, requiring six hours to reach Monclon. It was necessary to stay over night at Saokvilie, and we only arrived at Twnnentine at 3.90 Thursday afternoon and the boat reached Borden at 9.30. The Steam- ship “Char1ottetown" is s. very fine crai‘, but .t does not appear to be a gwod ioe-areakcr.

“Newspapers tell a great deal re- garding unemployment .n Montreal, but this fact is apt. to be exagzfl- ated in that no account is taken of two points: first, the fact that Montreal is a. centre of gravity for the unemployed; and second. that; there always has been a greet deal‘ oi seasonal unemployment. Apart‘

‘from the lumber industry, which‘ until recent years has kept large‘ numbers of men at work in the

mroods, there are many industries

‘that have always closed down dur-

ng the winter months. I have nev- er learned how many have been deprived of work in this way. but the? number must have run into‘

thousands, but prior to the depres- l sion these people managed to fill-j anoe themselves through to the‘ spring wthout public assistance. ‘

Another troublesome; question is- the widespread set-l bank to construction work of ail| kinds, wth its attendant serious: shrinkage in employment, both directly and in the supplying in- dustries. The heavy carry-over oi Canadian wheat and the large er-4 eal harvest in countries such asi Italy and Russia, the latter agan dumping largely into Britain, are also disturbing factors. The re- quest, also, of the British Govern- ment to curtail shipments oi live cattle to the Mother Country dur- 11¢ the winter months 1s regretted. as it was hoped that the. surplus grain could be fed to the esttlc-

The large depart-l ment stores during the Christmas week were a truly wonderful sght.
