I"00D F 0R REI"LECTION
. “”*__T_i
A good deal has been said and written about the set-
back the fox lndustry has received as a result of the war.
Some wiseacres who, for lack of means or enterprise, fail-
ed to enter the industry as shareholders are now busy
shaking their heads and relnarking with an air of wlsdom,‘
"l told_ you so," while others who have other illteresm at
stake and were envious of the growth and development of
the fox lndustry as one of the most remarkable and best
paying propositions in the market, are welcoming this lull
in business as a suitable opportunity for further knocking
lt. Now what are the facts concerning the present posi-
tion of the fox industry?
With very few exceptions. nearly every colupany pro-
moted before 1914-and only those were in a position to
have increase-has been able to declare at least a stock
dividend, while many have paid or will pay a cash dividend
varying from eight to 500 per cent. is there another in-
dustry in the world can make sucll a showing at thc pre-
sent time? We think not.
De Beers Diamond Corporation, which has the lnonopoly
of the output of the world's diamond supply, and has
_hitherto paid a restricted dividend of 20 per cent., has this
year passed its dividend altogether.
The Ostrich industry of South America, one of the
most remunerative investments of a productive character.
has almost totally collapsed and ostrich feathers are being
given away by the producers to raise funds for patriotic
objects.
The Balata industry. which is a monopoly of the Bra-
zlls, Gulanas and certain Eastern tropical countries, which
could be relied upon in times of peace as an industry bring-
ing a safe return of from six to 25 per cent. on invest-
ments, has this year not only failed to pay a dividend but
has had to appeal to the respective governments for as-
sistance to tide over its difficulties. ln the case of British
Gulalltl. One. of the principal sources ot’ supply, the balata
companies have obtained government -security for a loan
from the Royal Bank of Canada to thc extent of 25 per
cent. of the value of balata held in stock.
Other enterprises of a similar character have been
knocked on the head altogether.
Compare this with the present state ot' the fox industry,
which isnot only sound financially, but steadily adding tu
the value of _its assets independent of outside assistance.
Certain critics have described the fox industry as un-
satisfactory. presumably, because the sangulne anticipa-
tlons of huge cash dividends were not realized in cvcry
instance, Why should these critics diiiercntiute between
fox investments and, say, n mail order corporation likel
that of Sears. Roebuck Co.. the mail order corporation ot'
Chicago. Yesterdays papers show tllat this company has
a cumulated surplus of approximately $23,500,000, but is
unable to pay a cash dividend at all. Tile directors recoln-
mend the payment oi' $20,000,000 stock dividend to the
holders of the $40,000,000 common .stock and this. the
financlal press consider a very satisfactory proposition.
And so it is, alld so also are similar propositions oil the
part of fox companies of Prince Edward Island.
The stock excllangcs are now open and doing business,
and we have taken the trouble to compare the l\'e\v York
Stqck Exchange list ot' July lil, before the war. with that
of February lst. We rind that of 59 companies listed on
the former date 19 have disappeared entirely from the list,
while 16 others have dropped, on an average. six points,
varying from 51', to 305, points. These, it must be remem-
bered, are all recognized as gilt-edge securities. Only four
stocks of the total of 59 listed on 16th July, show an in-
crease averaging 20 points alld these consist almost ex-
clusively of businesses which have belloiltted from the
supply of war materials, such as the lj. S. Steel Corpora-
tion, the stock oi' which alollc advanced 4-il/l points. Not-
withstanding this jump tho U. S. Stccl Corporation has
found it necessary to pass its dividend for the current year.
ln view of these facts we do not see any reason what-
ever for pessimism concerning thc present. condition and
prospects of the fox industry. Rather the reverse. An
lndustry which can stand the shock of a universal colli-
tnercial crisis consequent on a world-wide war and pay
stock, or cash dividends. or both. holds a unique position
ln the industrial and commercial world and deserves all
the support and ellcouragenlellt which investors nlld the
community generally choose to give it.

ill October last there was organized lu New York Tile _
"Nah American War Relief Fund under thc pat."l.|..l_.;.-
of the Presidents, respectively, of Si. George's, St. Davld‘l-. '
St. Andrews and the Canadian Sociteies of that City . A
committee was appointed con.slsting of some of the lend-
ing journalists, financiers and pllllanthropists in the
United States, the President being Lady Herbert, the
Secretary Mrs. Ralph Sanger. and the Treasurer Mr.
Henry J. Whitehouse. The object of the organization, as
its name implies, is “to provide warm clothing and comforts
for British Soldiers and sailors on active service and in
the hospitals." Although ln'existence only a comparatively
short time the organization has already done much to br-
ing comfort and hope and cheer to the men who are fight-
ing the -battles-not of Great Britain, France, Belgium and
Russia alone' but of the world. Contributions have been
received from every -state ln the Union. from Canada and
this Wont lndiso and so promptly had they been received
Nd forwarded that Lord Kitchener acknowledged the gift
in e  in follows: "First consignment -of gifts

activities of ‘the repnblic's magnificent navy, we know I
little.
And yet, the French squadrons are carrying out oper- I
ations highly important to the allies. They have the duty
of keeping the Austrian navy bottled up in the ports of
the Adriatic, a duty that requires constant attention, as
Austria, unlike Germany, did not concentrate all its ships at
one point. When the war broke out, the Austrian navy at
once took sheltor in three widely-separated points~ Pohl, .

The entrance to the harbors have been milled, and the

French Admiral hasgiven up the attempt to .subdue the
fortress by bombardment from the sea and has placed a
powerful battery from his ship on a mountain peak in Mon- _
tenegrin territory, from which port he is shelling the de-
fences of the port and the ships behind them. Tile guns
are, of course, protected by the Montenegrin army, which
is able to cope with the sorties ol' the Austrian garrison.
