low level for the day.

At tho close International Brazilian Traction and Howard Smith showed minor losses while Canadian Pacific and Ahitibi were slightly high- er. The great block of stocks, held at minimum prices. closed unchanged. ln this group were such issues as Cun- ndian Car. Canada Cement, Cockshutt Plow, Sxuolters. ltiasscy Harris and McCall Frontenac.

lloward Smith assumed the active leadership with sales of 3.010, nearly half the total turnover, and lost a full point at 3. Brazilian accounted for sales of 1.550 shares to lose ‘it. at 1014..

‘llank of Montreal issued its annual report. As expected in view of gen- eral conditions the profits were un- der thoss of the previous year but were ampla to take care of the usual dividend and other requirements and add s substantial amount to surplus. The highly liquid condition was main- tnincll, the bank's quick assets squal- ling 59.11 per out of sll liabilities to the publltl.

MONTREAL, Que., Dec. il-Move- meats were irregular, changes narrow and trading continued light on the in cal markct today. The opening wns soft. influenced by renewed selling in New York and ts further sharp break in stcrling to the lmvest level in ten years. Wheat, too, was weak st the opening. With a rally in wheat about mid-session. stocks in New York shmvrd brisk rallying tendencies and the local list followed to some extent. but in the final few minutes showed a rather unsteady tone. Brazilian and Nickel closed lower. but such issues as Canadian For, Canadian Pacific, Cement. hlcColi and eltcrs manag- sd to finish unchanged. Due to a larger turnover in lloward - which cased a point, the session's ta- ini volume showed a moderate expou- sion over Monday. The index recorded the very small loss of .01.

The Iianlr of llontreal report is in iine with expcc tions. The bank's profits could not‘ fail to be affected by the trade depression through which Canada, in common with other convi- trles, has been passing, but even with the reduction shown. the year's results wore more than sufficient to cover full dividcnd requirements, together with tho usual appropriations. and add a substantial amount to surplus. At the same time, the bank has fully main- tained its highly liquid position. its quick assets at the close of the fiscal your equalling 50.11 per cent of sii li- abilities to the public. The bank's bal- ancs sheet reflects in a marked de- Rree the deflation in stocks (luring ths past ycnr or so. with substantial reductions sl-own in the call loan ne- count. On the other hand. the bank has made large additions to its hold- 1110’! of government, railway and municipal bonds. Current loans cou- tinus at slightly hotter than the 1030 figure. In all, the statement is a strong exhibit. _ .

Under the leadership of the resident Agronome and of the provincial Poultry Pro- motcr for the district farmers are crate-feeding and finishing their llvultry, and by arrangement with the Poultry Division of the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture it will be graded, tagged and packed in boxes. It will be offered for sale by open bid on Assembly Day, Decem-~ her lilhsnd should prices not prove

sufficiently attractive the whole lot,

as a pooled shipment will be shipped lo Montreal for sale through the us- ‘ial channels. '
