"Canada alone cannot control world-wide con- - ditions, and it is idle to turn to the Government for relief from falling | prices. This applies to wheat as well as other, commodities." - Summing-up, he sald; "The situa- tion in Canada'at present, as I view it, is that while there does not ap- pear to be any cause for apprehen- slon, there is every reason for the exercise of the utmost - measure of . caution.

Happily, Canada is well buttressed on many sides, and the exercise of prudence and saga- city should enable her to meet the shock of falling prices, restricted credits and deflated currency, with. out serious impairment of her com- 'mercial and financial vitality." Expansion of Business In Canada. The General, Manager, Sir Fred- erick Williams-Taylor, in reviewing the operations of the Bank during the year, said the payment of a' bonus of 2% to the shareholders was "not the outcome of higher rates'of interest on current loans in Canada but a reflection of the increase in current loans and of high interest rates cr eall loans in New York, the volume of which was governed by the Bank's requirements in liquid reserves. One Anomaly which at- tracted «attention was that with credit restriction as acute here as it was across the line, the price of money was materially lower in the Dominion.

In the little island of Tasmania trapping is a very profitable business. According to a correspondent of the London Daily Mail, the trappers sup- ply a market that used to look to Anierica and Siberia with skins of the humble rabbit," the wallaby, the kan- garoo and the opossum. Inexperienced trappers earn one hundred and twenty- five dollars a week, and the old hands earn as much as three hundred. % One of the leading fur exporters of Hobart adsures me that this sum is a fair average with many of his cus- tomers, says the correspondent, As I was speaking to him he wrote a check for twelve hundred -pounds--the pro- ceeds from skins trapped during three months by two brothers in the far Western forests. The trappers are sought after. Car: avans go out into the bush for weeks buying up skins. Before the war land- owners were glad to have trappers to keep down the game that devastated their runs, but skins have now become 80 valuable that they let the trapping rights for big rentals, and there are "has" followed -their- lead 'tn res- -- 0 crown lands.

Nothing In That Line. A visiting minister was proceeding to examine the children of a Sunday; school as to their general knowledge | of Bible characters, and began: "Who was the first man?" "Adam," they all answered in chorus. "Who was the first woman?" "Eve," they all shouted. "Who was the meekest man?" "Moses." "Who was the meekest woman?" Everyone was silent, the children looked blankly at each other, but none could answer.
