Man's Body is Found Lashed to Wrecked Dingy Victim Washed Ashore Under Battered Hull After Holiday Voyage --- Leaves Boat at Oshawa As. Husband Sails on to Death Toronto. -His body lashed by Hal- yards to the upturned craft, 27-year- old Martin Flowersmith,-of 47 Ber- nard Ave,, was found drowned Friday when the wreckage of his dinghy float- ed ashore at Woodbine Ave, here, a victim of the worst gale Lake Ontario had seen this year, Flowersmith had almost reached home at the end of a week's sailing trip. His young wife, partner during most of the voyage; had decided at noon in Pickering to return to To- ronto by bus because .of the rough weather, and was awaiting him in their home here when she received word of his death. Lifeguard Edward ! Blair of 'the Leuty Ave. lifesaving station first sighted the craft's hull a quarter of a mile out in the lake. Patrol Officer William Appleton, in charge of the station, found it impos- sible to launch the station's life-sav- ing craft because of the heavy seas and treacherous undertow. He sent patrols along the beach and Life- guards Blair, Bruce Hardy and Tad Baker were. ale to reach it y wad- ing out from Woodbine Ave, Not .until they had started to pull the dinghy up to the beach did they discover Flowersmith's ody, floating under the hull, , One line attached to the wrecked boom had been looped three times around his ankle, and another was fastened around his stomach. So se- curely were they tied that lifeguards had to cut them away. Floating beside the upturned craft, and secured to it by halyards, was the wreckage of the mast, its single sail still intact but tangled to such an extent that lifeguards were unable to decide whether it had been set or lowered when disaster struck the dinghy. : PARENTS IN PICKERING. Surviving I'lowersmith are his wife, a - year-old son, Sebastian, and his father and mother, who live in Pick- ering. He was known here as an artist, a member of the art club operated by St. Aidan's Church, and had exhibit- ed his works in oils in several exhibi- tions in and near Toronto. = -- Goderich Court Sentences Young Former Huron Treasurer Gets Year in Re- formatory 2 Goderich, Sept. 17.--Cordon Young, former treasurer of Huron county, on Saturday was sentenced to one year definite and six months indeterminate in the Ontario Refor matory by Magis- trate C.

Trade Continues Good Statistics For 20 Years Shows Penetration of World Markets Ottawa.--A study of statistics over -the past 20 yeals show that Canada's penetration of world markets to have been most marked in spite of varying conditions, says a statistical review issued by the.Department of Trade and Commerce. ER Statistics ofs the trade'of the 40 most important trading nations of the world show that whereas there has been a drop of $1,000,000,000 in their import trade since immediate pre- war years, Canada's percentage of their aggregate foregn purchases has risen-from 1.95 to 3.58 per cent. In monetary values the rise was from "$355,222,000 out of total- im- ports of $18,257,000,000 in 1913 to $617,490,000 out of $17,266,820,000 in the last year for which aggregate figures are obtainable. On the 'other hand, Canada's shade of the exports of these 40 countries has increased only from 3.39 to 3.88 per cent., al- though their total exports decreased to $15,349,184,000. Of the imports of these principal trading nations of Newfogndland pur- chases 37.50 per cent. of her require- ments from Canada, the British West Indies, 18.45 per cent., British Guiana 14.37 per cent., and the United States 12.75 per cent. New Zealand takes nearly 5 per cent., Greeve 4.35 per cent and Fiji 4.33 per- cent.,- while the United Kingdom, South Africa, Aus- tralia and L£entral American' coun- tries all take between three and four per cent. FIJI'S SHIPMENTS. Of the exports of these countries Canada takes 54.74 per cent of Fiji's shipments, 39.83 per cent. of British Guiana's, 25.65 per cent of the Brit- ish West Indies', 165.88 per cent. "of the United States, 7.85 per cent. of Peru's and 5.26 per cent:-of the Unit- ed Kingdom's. Wheat constitutes Canada's prin- cipal commodity for export and in the last crop year this amounted to 240,000,000 bushels. British trade re- turns show that from August, 1932, to the end of last July wheat imports of the United Kingdom totalled 204,- 375,817 bushels of which Canada sup- plied 102,882,268 bushels or slightly more than 50 per cent, or the coun- try's total imports. Australia sup- plied over 50,000,000 bughels bringing the total empire percen more than 75 per cent. These figures are the most accurate wheat figures ever compiled by the British authorities as, due to the order chmpelling shipments to leave direct from a Canadian port to benefit by the new British prefer- ence, the confusing shipments through United States ports has been elimin- ated. : Other Government. statistics issued during the past week show that whole- sale prices in August dropped slightly from the preceding month due to lower prices for vegetable products; production of leather footwear in July | totalling 1,974,867 pairs, was the largest monthly output 'since monthly production statistics were commenced in 1926; the index for retail sales dropped slightly in July due to sea- 'sonal- mid-summer decline in public} purchasing.
