‘MONTREAL. Que. Doc. 11.-An lmprovmnc-ltt of $367,123 in the op- (arutlons of the Canadian Govern- ment Merchant marine for the first ten ‘months of 1925. as compairod \vith the corresponding period oi’ 1924,1111 reported by It. B. General Manager of the Company. lherc‘ being n.n operating prolilt of $12,541, at the end of the first ten months of 1925, as compared with an operating d-eficit of $289,879 ovor the same period last yenr. Taking into account ‘the overhaul, general and wharf expenses. ‘there is a- saving of another $64,704 which brings the total improvement in tho operating position up to 9967.124. An operating ‘ratio of 103.0: ‘in 1vmseuasasn. reduced ‘to a ratio of 99:84 dtirlllg the first ten months of 1920. .

During most of the ten months the c. G. M. M. has h-ad 45 strips in commission. nnd_ on- tho whole, business has been much better than in the proceeding years. This is particularly the case ‘in the Australia and West indies freight services where the operating rat- ion have been most satisfactory and the earnings considerable. The inter-coastal servrice, Mbn-treal to Vancouver. which has been in op- oratlon/for only a little more» than a your. has also shown an operat- ing profit. .

‘Tho value of the Canadian Gov ornmcnt Merchant Murine to Can- adian importers and exporters is indicated in the value of cargoes handled during the first nine months of this year. Export traf- flco calrrled in the ships of the com- puny amounted to 543.667 tons with a ‘total of $42,809,105. lm-port traf- ilc was 217,263 ‘thns with a total vuluo of $32,532,071. To this may be nddnrl the‘ cargoes of intercoast- hi service which amounted to ‘l6.- -l77 tons wlith a vnluo of $0,141,201, This added to ‘the export and lm port fig-fires would represent u grand total for tho period oi 837,-, 40‘! ions with u. valluu of $81,482,971]

Year.

(Canadian Press) ‘OTTAWA, 0nt._ Dec. 11.-Can- ada’s exports of Canadian distilled liquors lo the United ‘States are in- creasing, according Ito statistics available here. ‘A glance at the fl- gures covering exports of Canadian Whiikey, gin and "other portable spirits" shows a notable increase in the quantity and value of these liquids which cross cross the in- ternational boundary line. Statis- tics for the calendar year now drawing in a close are not avail- able, so comparison is made be- tween figures for 1924 published recently and those ‘for 1925.

Of all the Canadian whiskey ex- ported in 1924, ‘more than one quarter went to the United States. The value of Canadian liquor ex- ported to the United ‘States dur- ing ‘that year was more than half ‘the total valuation of liquor ex- ported to all the countries of the world Or. tn quote figures. the United ‘States absorbed 326,910 sail-ens of Canadian whiskey ini 1924, out of total export of 1.180,- 711 gallons The value of the whis- key exported to the United States was $9,988,036.
