Railway Matters to Stand Until Premier's Return

(Soecinl to The Guardian)

OTTAWA, June 6—It is expect ed here that the appointment of a Pilrmlfllflllhlolnt board of manage- ment for the Government Railways will ‘be allowed to stand over until the return of the Prime Minister

arbitration proceedings will not be concluded for some time, it is thought, and the ‘presen-t arrange- ments for joint operation of the two systems will carry on until the Grand Trunk is finally taken over. The difficulty surrounding the- merging of the two staffs together with other problems to bo over- come are understood to have been responsible for the delay in mak- ing the permanent appointments.

IJONDON, May 4.—(By Mall)__ Lampson’: report says;

The result of the Spring Sale just concluded may, we think, be consid- ered hignly satisfactory, especially when lt is remembered that the Sale took place let's time of serious industrial crisis at home and while the political outlook abroad is fur from settled.

The fact that in these circum- stances lite trade was both able and willing to absorb the very considerable quantity of Furs unta- logucd, shows a remarkable recov- ery from the terrible stagnation of inst Winter, and lrugurs well for the future.

The number of buyers present from the principal Markets of the World, was again very large, ‘and competition for nearly every kind of Fur was remarkably keen.

As in January, the Home Trade was undoubtedly the largest pur- chaser, cspecially of the staple articles, such as Skunk, while the considerable contingent of French buyers present were much interest- ed in the finer Furs, and notably in Silver and Blue Fox. Large quan- tities, particularly of Musquasll and Opossum. were purchased on Ger- man account, and the United States and Scandinavia were also well represented.

We were able to dispose of prac- tlcally the whole of our offering, thereby still further relieving the congestion of goods which was such a disastrous feature of lost year's business.

\Vrl believe the position of the

-- London Market may iibvf"li“e' fairly

considered normal and that, pro videll the present industrial and political difficulties are over-come. prospects for the future arc dis- tinctly favourable. _
