In Canadian Manufacturing A Continued Improved Tone In i All Branches Shown By Statis- tics-Other Evidences of Trend Of Progress. (Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Ont, May 3-—A contin- ued improved tone in manufacturing, .in railway and steamship transpor- itation, in building construction, in re- tail and wholesale trades and in min- ing other than coal, is shown by Elected April. The increases in manufacturing were unusually large for the time of the year, larger in fact than at any year since 1920 during the post-bell- um period of expansion. 'I\he increase in manufacturing employment in Canada this year has been more rap- id than in the United Stat. From February to March the increase was 1.56 per cent and from March to April the increase was 2.15 per cent. In the United States the increase from February to March was only 0.90 per cent. Comparative figures for the increase from March to April in the United “states are not avail- able. Season decreases were shown however in Canadian empmyfllfilt in logging. in railway and highway oon- struction and in coal mining. Other evidences of the trend Of 0111851511 industrial pi'0grCss._fOl' the month 0i’ ltlarch over February show that bank debits, or the aggregate amount of cheques charged against bank ac- count in Canadian banks was slightly higher than in February, but alter seasonal adjustment was 9.2 pet- cent lower than the February level.

May Z-Predictrng one of the shortest wheat crops in years this fall. Robert Gardiner. President: of the United Farmers of Alberta. and leader of theProgresstve group‘ in the House of Commons declared in en interview here today that any policy of pushing wheat exports is ill advised. Mr. Gardiner, who is one of the House's best informed men) on western conditions, made it clear‘ that he did not advocate any cur-i tailment of exports, but believing as be does that this year's crop will be‘ short. he sees hope of an upward revision of wheat prices and accord- ingly grester returns for wheat sold- lster than for wheat sold at the‘. present levels. ' Reports of serious drought in some ' parts of the West, combined with a conviction that there is a general tendency ‘among the farmers to shorten acreage anyway, led Mr. Oar diner to his conclusion that the i931 crop will be considerably small- er than those of the past several years. In his own riding o! Acadia, Alberta said Mr. Gardiner, there hul been very little rain since last Oc- tober. The snowfall too was extraor- dinary light. Thus the soil is parch- ed and dry. making the p. pects gloomy for large yields. Moreover the general information is that this condition is not confined to the one use, but is widespread. On every bushel o! wheat sent abroad new, Mr. Gardiner asserts the former is losing 40 cents on the cost of pro- duction. These low prices‘ he says, ere having their inevitable econom- lo afloat. ‘me tunnels are not pleat- ing u much part1! tbrpugb incl: of capital due to the peer returns on inst year's crop and partlgr because thereisnoprospeotsolareturuto good prices for some time.

Interests Of Island ‘Potato Growers Are Protected At _ Ottawa (Strong Representations Made By Island Members Against Fixing Of Valuation . At6 Cents As Impression Might Get Abroad That Tariff Was Increased to 6 Cents Instead Of 3-4 Cents On 6 Cents Valuation. Will B Of Let Letters And Pa ' ‘ (Special to the Guardian) OTTAWA, Ont, May 3-As the result of representations made by Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick members o! the House, the dumping market value of new potatoes eomlngjnio Canada has been abolished. By Order-in-Council on April 22 it wasdeclded that the market value of new po- tstoes should be fixed at six cents per pound on which duty of three quarters cents was imposed. This was with the view o! assisting and protecting the market gardeners and truck growers of Ontario, who feel very keenly the competition from the Southern States in the early part of the season and who felt that six cents per pound was not too much to value MISINTERPRETATION The I-Ion. John A. MacDonald, who is a member of the Government drew attention to the fact that this dumping valuation might be misinterpreted in the Southern States and affect the export of seed and table stock from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Messrs. Chester S. Mc- Lure, and John H. IVIyers took the matter up and made strong representations against the arbitrary fixing oi‘ valuation at six cents as the impression might get abroad that the tariff was increased to six cents per pound instead of three quar- ters cents on six cent valuation. They contended that with a three quarters cents duty on the market price of new pota- toes the Ontario gardeners and truck growers would be suf- ficiently protected, where the effect of the impression in Vir- glnls that the duty liad been arbitrarily increased would cause trouble in marketing Maritime seed potatoes and table stock. The representation bore such weight with the Council thatit ws decided to cancel the arbitrary valuation, and lefavdtlle" utylat three quarters cents on the ordinaryma-r. ket value of the new potatoes at the port of importation. nu CIJMING We . u M R l RealChamprons 00NFERENOE British Govt.
