Appleton, General Manager, Atlantic Region, Canadian National Railways Th; year that is just passing brings to a close one that has been full oi great trials. 1932 broke upon us with a period of falling re- venues and a disorganized world trade and money market. This con- dition unfortunately has continued unabated throughout the year with here and theie a spasmodic upward trend. I; was a particularly trying year for the railways which round their revenues keeping pace with the economic conditions as reflect- ed in the business world. ‘Phe con- ditionwas not applicable to Cana- da alone but the whole world was in a similar state. The year 1932, notwithstanding the adverse conditions existing, was not without its periods oi bright- ness and we in Canada can look back with a certain dcg-reerof sat- isfaction to the way‘ in which our country weathered the troubled seas. Our financial institutions, in particular, have remained sound and this is an outstanding achieve- ment especially in a. new cottntry and indicates ‘the degree of sta- bility we have achieved. The Marl- time Provinces, in particular. have fairly well held their own and this. in a large measure, is due to the sagacity and sound business prin- ciples with which our affairs have been conducted. The Atlantic Re- gion of the oanaxlimi National Railways, in common with other regions of the National System. re- flected the uneven trend of trade but in comparison came out well. Failing revenues on the Canadian National System were met with reduction in expenses of operation which have provided greater net revenues for the System than the previous year. Tourist Trade eiai Government: Hon. Premier Stewart assumes offices of Provin- cial Seeretaiy ‘and ‘Treasurer; Hon. G.

The torulst trade of thc Mari- time Provinces held its own and although the season for New Brunswick showed a i0 per cent decrease and Nova Scotia 1i pct" cent with Prince Edward Island about the same, it can be consi- dered a; very satisiactoigv iti the light of economic. conditions. One development: oi the tourist trade of 1932 has been the awakened litter- est on the part oi the people of Ontario and Quebec in the Mari- tinias as a seaside vacation coun- - try and there was a considerable increase in the number- from those provlnc:s. Tourist travel front the ‘United States was, as the figures given indicate, only slightfy lower in volume. Big game hunting, taking the yfigures showing the number of 1 moose and deer killed, registered an increase with some record heads taken. : Agriculture suffered from 10W prices practically throughout the year but towards the close prices stiffened somewhat, particularly in the 005s of potatoes, and prospects are bright. In the industrial field while fac- tories have not been as busy as might be wished, yet, all things considered, matiuiacturing fairly held its own in Canada's Ailart“. provinces. Bright Spots Indicated What the year 1933 has in store is beyond pie power of any of us to foretell. The road ahead is very uncertain with conditions which tax the ‘ enuity of the leaders l" the political. financial, business and transportation worlds. ’I‘l1e outlook is obscured as it was in the beginning of 1932 but we weather- ed the year and there is no reason to doubt but that we will weather 1933. There are several spots on the horizon, one of which is the very likely possibility that the mattoi- of war debts will be definitely disposed of at an early date and thus overcome what is declared by manyoexperts to be re‘ tarciing revival of world trade- Another of the bright spots. r0 far as Canada 1.; concerned and in which the Maritimes have a parti- cular interest. are the Empire bfflflv agreements signed at Ottawa.‘ Already these are bearing fruit and for the first time large quantltizs of chilled tut-keys from Wgsiern Canada have gone forward ihroulh the ports of Halifax and Saint John bound to Great Britain for tho Christmas trade. If and when. as it is generally maintained. the international debts question, parti- cularly in respect of the Great YEAR'S ilillliiiifllmlmlikialilllazit it MARITIMEREVIEW Fill c. t. tuiivtsiov v t A a3, 0 bright Catches 0i ‘Lobsterg And Oysters Show» Increase Ovei“ Those 0t 1931--T¢ tal Market Valu- 01’ Fish About $1 100,000 The following review of the guy, cries of the Province of m,“ Edward Island for-year 1932 t, supplied by Mr. s. T. Gallant, 1n. spector of Fisheries: , The total marketed valtu; o; the fisheries of the Province for the year 1982 will be lppfbklmntely $1,100,000. Lobster-s The weather during the lobster fishing sewn was very Ilvorable with the result that there was a phenomenal catch of 11,385,700 hounds, an excess over the ealclrof 1931 of 1,973,300 pounds.- 445m cases were cantted, while 2.520,30n pounds were sold in the shell. The season has not been a lvt- _ - successful one for the lobster pa ' ‘ ers on account" of unsatisfactory marketing conditions: notwitlt. standing this, however. the market ed value will be above that of m: year because of the very 1mg!- catch. Cod On account of the very low pricey offered for cod this fishery “u; not carried on to the same extent as in other years, and, as a “suit the catch and marketed value arr below that of last year. Hen-in; ‘Ijhc spring catch was about tlic Films as other years, quite a per- centage of the catch being placed in cold storage for fox food, while the remainder of the catch was used for lobster bait. The Pall catch was a great disappointment and will be much below that of last year, with the exception of the Murray Harbor District where a fair catch was taken. On the whole there will be a decrease both in rc- gard to quantity and value. Oyster; The catch of oysters Wits ' v barrcLs, an increase aver last year of 400 barrels. and had UYWK‘ been any demand for this shellfish. thc catch might easily have been 2.0011 l barrels more as the fishermen could not get sale foi- their oysters and were obliged to dlscantiiiut fishing (he first week of» Novem- ber. The price offered for oystcri was $2.00 less per barrel than last year, and, although the catch is greater than last year, the market- ed value will b; below that of last- ycar. I l Smells There will be an increase iii thc catch of smells. The price offered‘ is about $2.00 per hundred pounds I955 than last year; therefore, not" withstanding the increased catch therevwill be a decrease in thc mar- ketecl value. A all on an equitable basis, the Mar‘ itime Provinces will share in the impetus given to trade. Our lumv ber trade should be especially benefited as, with the readjust- ment of these obligations, Illfiilll facturing will commence on B greater scale with easier mone!‘ and there should be a decided iti-f crease in building construction- Large amounts of lumber are um these days in building, parvcular- ly where concrete is used. The pull! and paper industry should also 1'9‘ ceive great benefit with coast‘ quent increased demand for D1111 wood. v0 >‘¢00-¢¢ 60-- oo ooooooooool EYES TESTED AN D GLASSES FITTED J. S. TAYLOR E. W.
