A 'conservative estimate of the amount of money Spent in Quebec by tourists reaches $2,358,750. From the beginning of May until the first of September, 15,000 motor tourists had called for information at the offices of the Quebec Auto Club. Taking an average of four people to each car, this meant that at least 60,000 people had come to the city by automobiles. Of this number there were approximately 3,000 camping parties, or 12,000 people. A wt or $25,700 to the sad. tion y to aid Canadian migra- tion work in Great Britain haa been authorized by a Canadian Order in Council. Weighing 3,170 pounds, a steer, said to be the largest ever received in Winnipeg, arrived at the union stockyards from Wainwright, Al- berta. It was sold for $250, the 'highest selling price of any steer in Winnipeg since the war. There have been large increases in the number of pure bred animals in Canada during the decade between the last two censuses. The increase in the number of pure bred horses between 1911 and 1921 was 44 per cent; of cattle, 139 per cent; of sheep, 75 per cent, and of swine, nearly 44 per cent. The number of pure bred horses in the Dominion in 1921 was 47,782; cat-tie, 296,656; sheep, 93,643, and of swine, 81,143.
