The decision of the Governâ€" ment to secure supplies as far as possible within the Empire has givâ€" en a new impetus to the search for large oil deposits in different rarts of the dominions, and it would be ftting that the premier dominion, (Canada, should be reckoned among the fuelâ€"oil sources of supply. In this connection Viscount Selby, who is chairman of the Eastero Canada Company, and who has just returned from the Canadian fields, supplies interesting details.

In. spite of the financial stringency Canâ€" ada‘s trade is more than holding its own. The returns for the last four months of the current fiscal year show a eubstantial increase over the same time in the pr°â€" vious year. The total Canadian trade for the four months ending on July Jist, was $358,488,000, compared with $328,635,000 for the corresponding period in 1912 This makes an increase of neally $30,000,000. There was an increase in the imports of about $16,500,000 and in the exports of about $10,000,000. This year‘s figures, it the same Trocreu ie anything like mainâ€" tained, will add about $100,000,000 to the total trade of the country. But it will be necessary to wait for a couple of monthe before one can safely catimate upâ€" on the year‘e business. Bo far the results are better than anticipated.

Africa takes front rank in this new inâ€" dustry. Cottonâ€"raising has also taken a hold in Ceylon and the West Indies.

Luxâ€" ury, whether in the form of extravagant living or euperfluous pleseures, is not yet sapping the vitality of the nation. The eagerness of working people to put a litâ€" tle by for a rainy day was recently deâ€" monstrated at Vancouver. . A local newsâ€" pnger offered a pocket savings bank and a first deposit of fifty cents to every perâ€" son who cared to apply for the eame, on the sole condition that they would open a eavings account in a local bank. g\he bank in question offered interest at four per cent. per annum, compounded every three months, the money 60 deposited to be available for withdrawal by cheque at any time. Two thousand persons availed themselves of the offer in a single day. The total deposited in eavings banks of all kinds in Canada is, roughly, $£925,000,â€" 000 for a population of about 7,000,000, or nearly four times as much as is deposited in the Poetâ€"office Bavings Bank in Britâ€" ain, where the population is ive times as great.
