said
Mr.
Dcvcn-
ish.
There
docs
noi
appear
w
be
anything
Indicating
a
boomj
but
rather
a
steady
volume
of
sound
business.
During
the
last
few
'months
the
balance
of
the
1946-1947
crop
had
been
moving
to
ocean
ports
quite
rapidly
and,
Insofar
as
the
Canadian
National
Railways
arc
concerned,
it
Is
expected
that
the
available
balance
of
this
crop
will
be
moved
completely
by
July
31.
All
of
these
grains
are,
of
course,
being
moved
under
the
direction
of
the
Wheat
Board
and
the
railways
supply
the
transportation
In
accordance
with
billing
instructions
from
the
Board.
Insofar
as
the
crop
prospects
for
the
1947
1948
crop
are
concerned,
It
Is
a
little
early
to
speak,
the
railway
executive
said.
Certain
factors
were
fairly
definite
though.
One
Is
that
tho
crop
will
be
late
as
the
seeding
on
the
prairies,
due
to
a
backward
spring,
was
from
two
to
three
weeks
behind
normal
dates.
There
was
an
ample
supply
of
moisture
in
most
of
the
prairie
territory
and,
in
fact,
too
much
for
comfort
in
some
sections.
What
would
appear
to
be
desired
now,
would
be
a
good
period
of
warm
weather
to
hasten
the
arnurt.lv
The
next

LOCAL

IS
ROSIER
THAN
SINCE

END
The
employment
picture
in
Prince

is
rosier
today
than
at
any

since
the
end
of

and
it
faces
the
prospect
of
increased

in

fall,
according
to
National
Employment
officer
E.
V.
Whiting,
who
says
that
employers
