Survey Shows.Ciftown Ahead In Business Activity

NEW YORK. Sept. 12 - (SP9- clal) - Charlottetown stands out as it rich market. with income and spending at a level above that of most other cities in Canada. This is brought out in a new. copyright- ed survey of buying power, pre- pared by sales Management, cov- ering all sections of Canada and the United States.

The high standard of living pre- vailing in Charlottetown is indic- ated by the volume of retail bus- iness done in the past year. The local stores registered a sales total of 314,017,000, which was well above the city's quota. On the basis of its population it should have account- ed for only .1291 percent of can- ado's business. Actually, however, it did .1612 percent.”

Tl1is,si4,ol'1,o00 sales record was a gain over the volume of business done the previous year, s11,'7i6.000.

The ability of local families to spend more was made possible by better incomes, The 4,100 families in Charlottetown attained a gross income of 013,027,000 in 1949. Div- iding the one by the other yields a per family income of 33,177, which was higher than the :2.262 earned per family in Prince Edward is- land.

The earnings locally marked a gain over the previous year when the average per family, was 32,064. -During the same period income nationally dx-owed 5.6 percent per family. '

The fact that sales were.higher tlhan income indicates that Char- lottetown is the hub of a large trading area. '

Although pressed to make a more complete statement on the Charlottetown building by W. Chester S. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Q-.teen's Mr. Fournler said he was not pre- pared to commit the Government any further than for the demolit- ion of buildings now on the site. The Minister also indicated that plans for the structure which have been under preparation for some time past. will be completed.

Only stumbling-block in the path of plans to complete the Charlotte- town bulldlng, Mr. Fournier indic- ated. ls the statement made by Finance Minister Abbott when presenting the "Korea. Budget" last week. that the Federal build- ing program will be sharply cur- tailed except for . essential con- siructlon. "Many times" "said Mr. Fournier, "I have read the state- ment by the Minister of Finance. and I have looked over the file concerning the building at Char- lottetown."

J. Leter Douglas, Liberal mem- ber (or Queen's, is also pressing for an early start on the building.

OTTAWA, Sept. 14 - (GP) - Severe frost on the Prairies has re- duced Canadrs expected wheat harvest to 490,320,000 bushels from 544.000.000, the Bureau of Statistics

'01 27.600000 acres, yielding an av-

lihe anlnat North Korean pockets. .

reported today.

The spring wheat harvest, in the Bureau's second estimate of pro- duction. was placed at 460,031,000, down from the previous estimate of 600,000,000 bushels. Full wheat was estimated at 29,769,000 bushels.

Oat production is estimated at 414,601,000 bushels, down slightly from the previous estimate of 433.- 063.1100. Barley was placed at 179,- 050,000. down from 184,417,000; all ryc 14.561000. a. decline from 16.- 307,000; flaxseed 4,011,000 down from 6,166,000.

The Bureau's second report of production is based on conditions prevailing on Aug. 31. The wheat crop is expected from a seeded area

erage of 19.1 bushels per acre.

Declines in the second estimate resulted, said the Bureau, from severe frosts which struck Saskat- chewan and to a lesser extent, Ai- berta and Manitoba. Wind. and rain storms in some sections of the Prairies and snow in the Peace River area also contributed. .

The 1960 wheat. crop is 123,000,000 above 1940 output and 96,000,000 above the 10-year (1040-49) aver- age of 804000.000.

Dry peas production is placed at 036,000 bushels, against last year's 036,000; dry beans. 1.340.000, against 1.760.000. Acreage seeded to both crops in 1050 were below 1040 lov- e.s.

Potato Crop

The potato crop is forecast at 66,400,000 hundiredllelguu. compared with the 1040 crop of 63.600000. Re- duced production in Prince Id- Wltd Island and New Brunswick is offset by increased production in all other Provinces, except British Oolumbia. Average annual prcduc- tion during 1040-40 was 47,600,009 nundredwaihlt.

A record Canadian production of over 1.000.000 tons of sugar been is forecast for 1000. A substantial rise in screen accounts for the indie- ated increaae over last year's ass.- 700 tons.

Production of hay and clover is estimated at 13,000,000 tons, third

Severe Prairie Frosts Cut Down Wheat Yield

year average of 15,300,000 tons. The alfalfa crcp of 3,200,000 tons, how- ever, compares favorably with last year's production of 2.600.000 tons. Fodder corn production for 1000 at 5.800.000 tons is up slightly from the 1049 crop of 5,600,000. - Production of mixed grains at '11,- 100,000 bushels is above last year's 05,900,000 despite a slight decrease in acreage, The buckwheat crop at 3,700,000 bushels is higher than last year's 3,600,000. The 1960 pro- duction of turnips and mangels for livestock feed. excluding the Prair- ies. is placed at 2l.700.:00 hundred- weight, up somewhat from last year's total of, 10,000,000. Canada's 1050 crop of soybeans, all of which comesfrom Ontario is estimated at a. record 3.100.000 bushels. 600.000

greater than the nrevlous record crop harvested in 1940.
