Business Conditions Brighter

(iptinii-m is the keynote of the monthly let- tci- of the Hank of Montreal, which at the clitcc of thc _v ' ‘ finds Caiizitlizui business gen- crztlly iii a s;

'_ aciory condition and rapidly tiiliusting il.~(‘lf to ivariiiiie exigencies. Whole- szile and retail trade is feeling the benefit of the increased purchasing power which has come to both tirban and rural communities. Good crops across the country", wiili higher prices. have improved the position of farmers, while tirban centres are rcflccting a greater demand for manufactured goods, and added activity arising from the niantifzicttire of war materials and expenditures of the large body of men now in the military and naval services. Christmas trade was good with the exception of British Columbia. where unusually mild and wet weath- er has been 1 retarding influence. So far the most important stimulus for busi- ness has come from the increased purchasing power of the farming community, the letter notes. The extent of this augmentation is re- vealed by the first estimate of the value of the rincipal field crops of Canada in 1939 issued by the Bureau of Statistics, which places it at $635,764,000, a gain of $91,321,000 over the valuation for I938, and the highest since 1930. Since this estimate was made, grain prices have recorded l further advance. Dairy production is experiencing its‘ usual contraction through winter conditions btit there has been I. sharp ad- vance in the price of dairy products. Exports hf cheese in November, at 18,822,400 lbs., were 5o per cent above the. figure for November 1938. In the Maritime Provinces wholesale and re- biil trade shows improvement over last year and zollections are "fair to good." Demand for farm produce is good and there is ample fod- der. The fresh fish market is strong and rices satisfactory but catches have been small. he market for dried and pickled fish is improv- lng and, as stocks arc low, the outlook is bright. The lobster market remains dull. The review notes a big drnp in apple shipments overseas, due l0 the British market regulations.

Banned By Mr. King

It is announced from London that there will be no itoyal honor list at the New Year but that when His biajestys birthday is celebrated in June the list will be longer than tisiial. This information, says the Montreal Gazette, comes to Canadians as little more than a reminder of the inferior position intb which thcy have bet-n forced as citizens of the liuipirc. ln so far as the hcstriuzil (if iiilr-s or other Royal (listinc- lions are t‘i>tIt‘('I‘fl(‘4l, we arc among the "tui- totichablcs“. For this position Ilis Iiajcsty is in no \\':iv rcspnii-ililc.

The Gazette stiggcsts it is high time that Mr. Mackenzie King emerged “from his intellccttizil Berchtcsgziden" and learnt once and for all thiil the Canadian people are sick of this silly as- sertion of political superiority, especially noiv‘ that the Empire is zit wztr and Canada IS parti- I cipating in that war to the limit of its resources.

It recalls that the ban was lifted by the Ben- nett (ioverniiiciit and titles were conferred judiciously ziiiiong worthy and deserving Can- adians. ln no single instance was there any criticism, or ground for criticism. It should not only be lifted now btit definitely discarded. "Its maintenance" concludes the Gazette, “can only be an evidence of individual obstinacyi."

Francois-Ponce! was invited to the retreat, which he said was stirroundcd by machine gun nests, when he took leave of Germany to assume his new post in Rome.
