For the next two months more space has been engaged | from Canadian ports for shipment to Europe than for many years past. We‘ should look for an early marketing of Western grain, and with the proâ€"| ceeds in circulation expect a reducâ€"| tion in liabilities and an ‘imreased‘ activity in nearly all lines of busui iness." j Bank of England notes are numberâ€" ed backwardsâ€"that is, from 1 to 10,â€" 000.

The Canadian National Exhibition at Toâ€" ronto, opened so auspiciously by Lord Byng, the Governorâ€"General, officially declared the largest attendance in its history, whilst fairs at Ottawa, Lonâ€" don, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Eastern and Western circuits generally, have reported excellent entries and results. Events tranzpiring during the past menth have been of more than ustal interest and give solid ground for growing confidence and optimism. The western cropâ€"on which the eyes of commercial and industrial Canada have been earnestly turnedâ€" has proved up to expectations and is being rapidly garnered and shipped. Western railway mileage is already feeling the beneficial effect. Farmers showed an inclination to market their! grain early with the result that by the middle of September over 1,000 cars a day were arriving at the head of the Great Lakes; since September 1st, 1920, nearly a hundred thousand carloads of wheat had been unloaded at Fort William compared with fiftyâ€" seven thousand for the same period of the preceding year. The early movement of grain has had an excelâ€" lent effect on Western business and a good fall tl:ade is anticipated. ] It is not without significance that the general managers of two Canâ€" adian banks have visited the West Indies, though the visit was ostenâ€" sibly a holiday one.

I only know that the board brought us here and talked four hours without presenting anything which we could even consider as a compromise. The meeting was absolutely without results.

Sir Philip Sassoon, MP.. and Colonel Grant Morden, M.P., will be with the party sailing on the Aquitania.

The prosperity of the Hudson Bay Company was founded on fur trade with the Indians. The Eskimo had a litt‘e copper at the mouth of the Copâ€" permine River, and the Indians took it from them in occasional raids. But the mineral and metal resources of Canada outside of the valley of the Upper Yukon in the neighborhood of Dawson until lately have been comâ€" paratively neglected. The great work of the Canadian Ministry of Mines and the reports of the Geological Surâ€" vey of Canada of an exemplary thorâ€" oughness, are publishing to the world The forward track leads somewhere. It may be we can not see the end of the road just yet. That makes it al the more attractive. When we know all the steps of the way we are taking, life becomes one long dead level. There are no surprises We plod along lazily and win a lazy man‘s rewards. Mighty fine is the giow of the forâ€" ward track! â€"Are you walking and But the forward trackâ€"how it does shine with hope and promise and inâ€" spiration‘! It is not so easy a road to travel as is the back track. Most of the thorns have been beaten down that way. The hummocks have been smoothed, The forward track has some hard work abead. But forward work never has any dread for the man with fire in his heart. Portugal broke the way into the immemorial East. The ships of Porâ€" tugal carry us back to the sea roâ€" mance of the fifteenth century, to that famous summer <f 1498, famous for its De Gama, its Columbus and its John â€"Cabot. In thore summer days when the elder Cabot was creeping southward along the American coast to the thirtyâ€"eighth parailel and Christopher Columbus, on his third and last voyage, was gazing on the Orinoco and wondering if that mighty water was coming down from gome "terrestrial paradise," Da Gama, that hardâ€"bitten salt of Portugal, was sighting the coast of Malabar. The back track is the lonesomest road any man ever travelled. He who takes it leaves behind him all he ever has done of good; he turns his back on the possibilities of the future and says to hard luck, "You beat me once, maybe you can do it again. I‘m going back to see." So he invites the defeat he deserves. Da Gama sailed into Calicut harbor; had to fight his way out, but he had shown the way, and his ships were the canvasâ€"winged forerunners of the inâ€" vasion of the East. by sea from the West, that has dragged its way through four centuries and more.
