Expectation . that the conference would get somewhere came "after it had been pronounced dead by 99 per} 'cent. of the delegates. The gold. bloe, while admitting in- flationary- action now seems possible, mantains this would be nefarious for the entire world. The decision of the central. gold banks at Paris to defend the gold standard was minimized in Dominion quarters, where it was felt nothing powerful enough can be invented to withstand the price-raising movement once it is under way.. While the prospect of action poked {ts head out of-the confusion caused by recent conflicts, there was every in-|- dication of further trouble ahead with the gold group. Tr - British Pound Canadian Dollar Relation to New York Funds Causes Jubilation at Capital Otcawa, July 9.--The strong upward swing of the British pound and the marked advance of.the Canadian dol- lar in relation to New York funds dur- ing the past. week has been greeted with enthusiasm in government circles. ' Not only is the price of wheat great- ly advanced but the price of gold as well, This metal sold on Saturday at $30.85 an ounce, as compared with the par which is $20.6718 (plus). The ad- "vance mm the Canadian.dollar, in rela- tion to United States funds, will make it easier for Canadian debtors to meet their interest and maturity commit ments in New York. On Saturday the premium on the United States dollar was only 5% cents. During the month of July maturing principal and interest of Canadian honds payable in United Bates funds total $18,907,815. While the advance in sterling re- quires more Canadan dollars to-meet London commitments, these commjit- ments are largely met by goods and gold, which are paid for in the British market in: sterling. Yesterday the pound sterling was at $4.96 in Cana- dian funds, almost 10 cents above par, or approximately two cents on the dol- lar. : : > Canadian Regiments Get Belated Boer War Honor Ottawa.--Thirty-two years .after the Peace of Vereening, which brought the Boer War to a close, twenty-six units of the Canadian militia have now received the battle honor, "South Africa," to be embroidered on their regimental colors. Announcement to this effect was made from the head- quarters ot the Defence Department here recently: Approval of this honor by King George has been received by the de- partment. The units whose color is thus enriched obtain the award under the same conditions as governed that of similar honors to the yeomanry ani volunteer regiments of the British 'Army.

"Trade reports indicated that orders poured in from unepected sources and for amounts unsurpassed for many a moon. A further reduction of unem- ployment was shown, accompanied in many cases by encouraging announce- ments of pay increases. "It no longer is an opinion that business is on the upgrade, it is a fact," announces Dun & Bradstreet, 'Inc., which feels that the weckly in- crease in the back-log of unfilled ord- ers is unquestioned proof of the perm- anency of the general improvement. .
