It was mostly a sellers market through- out but shippers would bo well ad- vised to watch the trade closely for the immediate future, as any appreciable d wntum in southern markets is ely to have the cf- fect of erasing some of the recent advances in Canadian markets. Exports to the south were the heaviest to date this year some 8.100 cattle crossing the border during the week. Calves ruled steady to stronger at. all market centres, although there was little actual change in prices, while lambs were about unchanged, ex- cept at Toronto where the market was weak to 25c lower. Hogs again moved into higher ground and the advance in prices amounted to 25c to 90c, compared with last Thurs- day's closing levels. An advance of 8s took lace in the British bacon marks , bringing the top on Canadian up to 90s. Cattle Prices Higher Weighty steers and butcher cat- moved up 15c to 25c at Toronto, while other grades re- mained steady. Good to choice weighty steers were taken at $7.25 to $7.50 and some tops at $7.75. while at the same good butcher steers and heifers were making $6.85 to $6.75 and a few lightweights $7. Under the influ- ence of a good demand, Montreal ruled 25c or more bigger, steers T808108 from $4.25 up a top of $7.50. With keen buying for ex- port, Winnipeg shcrwed further improvement and prices attained a new seasonal hi h. Most trans- actions were consi ered 25c to 50c higher than last week, with best strongwelght steers going at $7 to $7.50 and a fair number of lighter fleshed steers at $6.25 to $7. Buy- ers at Winnipeg were insisting that values were out of line to permit of a liberal movement. of beef into S! o retail channels and, while most. killing cattle were under pressure. blwera were compelled to pay the strong asking prices to obtain their quota of supplies for domestic purposes. There was a virtual scramble for replaces-flout stock with the better grades of stock- ers and feeders going between $5 and $8. Calgar continued active with ‘prices frm and good to choice steers selling from $5.75 to $7. The trade was firmer at Ed- monton. also. with choice steers u?’ to $650. Prince Albert was fully s ady. while Moose Jaw and Ru- gina were fully steady tn 25c higli- or, the former recording a top of $8.25 and the latter $5.50.

Vancouver had good veals up to flog Prices Higher. The British bacon market ad- vanced to 88s to 90s on Canadian, while Canadian Hams remained unchanged at 98s to 100s. The British Government is allowing 15,- 000 cwts. additional foreign im- ports during the next two weeks.

VATION I _ (Continued) Take the case of the lumbermau as an example It is easy enough for the man in the street to propose passing laws to force the lumber gperator to clear lllgnand burn the ash (tops and be ordinarily left in the woods when the logs are taken out) so that as time goes on, such refuse may not be set- afire by a careless match with a resulting holocaust and neat loss ‘of! contiguous timber and possibly, life. If such a law were to take effect in the northeastern pelrt of North America for example. it could not be enforced. If it could be enforced, there would be no l-um- bermen- The questions of market price financing here intrude and give the theoretical conservationist a smart setback. Where the lumb- erman may borrow money from his bank for cutting timber and getting it to market. no bank has ever yet lent any moneny to an operator for the purpose of bum- lng slash at, say, a cost of ten dol- lars per acre. In fact there is but. little timberland that has a secur- ity value for logging purposes ten dollars per acre. If a lumber- inan could borrow enough money to clean up the slash, he would have to add it to the cost- cf pro- duction and enter the market with the higher cost than his competi- tors. In fact his slash clearing and burning would probably nearly equal his cost oi logging, and he would be out of business before he got well started. Still. the very man who insists on such a law would be the first one to object to the high cost ttrrlllae-r and its various products, such as paper or fumi- ure. The case ell-ed is only one of many by which the constructive conservationist is faced. It is not. hopeless by any means. Ill time tlnlb2l~ land will be treated like farm land..or like flocks and herds. A crop will be taken off each year. Instead of road-s bolng built in order to conduct one seas/ms op- eration and all charged to that year's cut oi timber. tile roads will be used each year and their cvst spread over the life of the forest. The same will be done wit/h camps, offices and other improvements 'I‘ree.s will not be cut until they reach a certain size. But- for in- sects and fire or blight. tIle forests thus treated would last for ever. c A good sportsman wishes to have the streams full of salmon and trout; or the outdoor enthusiast (and who is not?) insists on hav- ing preserved and conserved the natural beauties of lake and hills. The seifsame person is also in favour of grower. It is reasonable to expect‘ ese good folk to influence legis- lation to preserve waterways and lake shores as the Almighty made them. Yet just here another tangle may be encountered. The hy- d£o-_electric_erlgineer must, build $7 to $7.25. A few baby beeves or fed calves, weighing around 800 lbs., made $7.50 to $8.50.

In doing all this he must blast and and cut timber until he has cannot pass his d on the borders of the once beauti- ful lakes has been killed by high water, and ugly flats are exposed at low water. Fish die in stagnant pools, and spawning beds are laid bare. From a. standpoint of sport and scenery, a watershed may bo- pile while it is used for the same purpose, viz, lo generate power. The case is not entirely hopeless for the conservationist, though ad- mittedl complicated. Fish passes or 1a ers are being built; shore lines are being cleaned up and pro- tected before flooding; areas are being preserved for spawning beds which are not subject to hurtful changes of water levels; scenery has its place in the mind of tile at engineer; structures are being erected for dam and ilume and fish ladder that, ere_ not alto- gether unlovely; there are some compensations for the destructive march of civilization. But serious difficulties do‘ A certain beautiful lake system near a. thriving town of western America had, for years, attracted the attention oi tourists and some local folk who loved natural beauty and liked to fish for trout. A railroad company with a main line through this section listened to the ambitious plans of some local capitalists, and joined with them in developing a soundly en- glncered hydro-electric power plant on tile river at- the outlet of the above mentioned cllaln of to run an electric car line over a scenic route among the lakes and hills. and have the terminus at a. favorite picnic ground where a. large hotel was constructed. The project was financed and CHITlBCl cut as conceived. B_ut the flowage from the new dam killed so much timber at high water and exposed so much ugly shore line and flats at; low water that; the scenery was spoiled, the fish were killed. and people would patronize neither the place nor the line- The power is now used for town lighting and city industries. Here arises an important prob- lem for the conservationist; has the locality in question used its natural resources t-o the best ad- vantage? Prom a purely practical standpoint, rhaps the district would have ken in" more outside money from tourists who would come and admire i/he beautiful scenery and enjoy the fishing, than it can possibly acquire from the sale of manufactured articles in a locality not icularly adapted to meet compet tion. Prom a spiritual point of view, them is no doubt at all that the locality would have contained more happy people in season and out with their unspoiled landscapes, their sparkling lakes, their nimble trout and their spread- ing trees, than ever will be there n. It is well to balance the rela/tive value of any undeveloped "re- source" against its possibilities after development.
