"Guests have already commenced to arrive" stated John O'Dowd, popular manager of the Lodge for the past few seasons and we are looking forward lo a busy season. The mounds are in excellent shape. the Rustic L01; Bungalows are more cosy than ever and the bathing beach i: the finest yct, the golf course over which guests have the PPWUESB 0i playing in in splendid conditions as are the tenni< courts. The canoes and ekifis which have been in storage are again gliding over the surface oi the fresh water Lagoon directly in front of the Lodge. the verandahs oi the in- dividunl cabins all overlook the lagoon.

The lagoon has been well stocked with trout and judriig by the way they are going after the flies and other in-ects. they are pretty lively. ‘rhcre are several trout streams within easy reach which also aiiord excellent fishing.

The trees and other vegetation that make the many delightful

r drives that radiate in all directions

TORONTO. June 29 - Prices were trimmed narrowly in today's operations on the Toronto stock market, mainly in the mining group where the golds were of! a point and the miscellaneous mines 1 i-2 points in the exchange in- dices.

Trade in the oils slowed down and narrow losses predominated. particularly among the juniors Losses of 5 to l0 cents were show- ing at the close for FoothillsDal- housie, Brown Corporation and Vulcan. Royallte was down for broken lots.

Selling ex-dividend $2.50, Dome compromised with a decline of 1 1-4 while Lake Shore and McIn- tyre weakened 1-2 to ‘5-8. Reces- sions of 8 to l5 cents were boarded for Bralome, Francoeur, Jellicoc. Madsen. O'Brien, Tobum. Teck Hughes and Towagmac. Quite a list of the penny gclds were heavy.

llbvel” OOMII-ided Mr. O'DOWd-

losses of several cents each were boarded also for Bankflcld. Dark~ water, East Malartic, Gillies Lake,

Gunnar, Lapa Cadillac. Perron,‘

Preston, Sladen and Red Crest. Noranda registered a fractional gain but attracted no following.

The French developments will probably cause further selling on New York Exchange. Another un- favorable piece of news this morn- ingls that two mysterious explos- ions cut off the major supply of the Bethlehem Steel Co. at Johns- iown and ‘orced the closing of the

Cambria. plant. Other libor news,

continues very mixed. We would look on again this morning to see how well additional selling is taken. MONTREAL. June 29-6. P. R. and C. N. R.--Net earnings of C. P.

Below will be found a brief‘ synopsis of telegraphic reports re- ‘ ceivcd at the Head Office of the l Bank of Montreal irom its Branch- ' es. Our Managers have knowledge of each local situation and are in touch ivzth crop conditions in all sections of the districts mentioned.

GENERAL

In the Prairie Provinces hot weather has caused rapid growth of grain crops in regions where mnisiire reserves are adequate but there ane large areas in whfcTi rain is urgently needed. The loo‘: of adequate rainfall to date has resulted in deterioration of crops in central and yest central Saskat- chewan and over a large part of Alberta. Crops in southern Saskat- chewan are poor. Some insect dam- age is reported. In other parts of Canada both east and west heavy rains have been general and growth has been rapid, although crops are still somewhat backward. In Quebec prospects on the whole are favor- abie._1n Ontario grain and roofs are doing wcll and cutting of a heavy hay crop has begun. In the Maritime Provinces rain has so delayed operations that in a few localities seeding is not yet com- pleted, but growing crops are progressing satisfactorily. In Brit- xsh Columbia grain and root crops are in promising condition, but heavy rains have so seriously dam- aged early strawberries that much of the crop is suitable for jam only. Details follow:
