The advent, of springtime, with the Reason far more advanced than is usual, has stimulated mercantile and agricultural activity and gives promise of a more satisfactory retail trade than is realized when the season is late, says the Bank of Montreal's monthly business summary- Resumption of inland navigation will bring to mar-ket a large portion of the grain crop still in More at western points, and in this connection it is noteworthy that the stock of wheat in Canada on March 12 was very slightly less than at the same date a year ago. Mining operations will also be expedited with the 'coming of spring. During the month a number of financial and commercial corporations have published their annual statements, and, with few exceptions, these show a satisfactory increase, both in volume of business and in net profits. The latest available bank statement is the month of Januarji and an examination of the figures indicates a fairly general prosperity throughout the country. Note circulation fell off materially during that month, as Is customary, but makes not unfavorable comparison with a year ago, while notice deposits rose nearly $9,000,000 in January and upwards of $G5,000,-000 on the year. So with current loans, for while these fell off somewhat in January, as is not unusual, they are $93,000,000 higher than twelve months ago. Shipments of gold have been made to New York, the discount on Canadian money making the operation profitable. The movement should be regarded as an ordinary banking transaction, and it may be added that the story recently current that the export of goldrom Canada had been prohibited was promptly denietL.by the mimsterrof finance: 7 " ' . . Carloadings continue to show higher figures and ha"ve been larger during the month in respect of grain, coal and general merchandise. Bank debits in February showed substantial increase over last year. , Immigration prospects, which were distinctly better at the opening of the year,: bid fair to be fully, realized. Already many settlers are arriving from Great 'Britain and Scandinavian countries, and when the movement is in full swing a. month or more hence, there is reason to believe that it will exceed any movement in recent years. ' TREND OF FOREIGN - TRADE IS RISING. The trend of foreign trade remains unch'anged, imports steadily rising, while exports decline. The Jotal foreign trade of Canada in February $153,240,000, was $5,180,000 less than in the corresponding month a year ago, and while the aggregate trade for the eleven months at $2,066,827,000 shows an increase of $37,500,000, the whole of the gain is on the import side of the account, which is larger by $94,000,000. There is indeed still a fairly substantial favprable balance of trade on the eleven months period, namely, $226,000,000, ,but it is $150,000,000 less than in the eleven monthsof the preceding year. , , An'inrident of some interest is the further remission of income taxes by increasing the age of exemption for children from 18 to'lit. years; announced by the minister of finance. Commodity prices remain quite steady, little variation being shown. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the index jiumber of wholesale prices was slightly lower last month at 150.1 as compared with 150.6 for January and 1C2.2 for February, 1926. This stability te'nds to remove the speculative element from business and to that extent is helpful. A feature of the month has been the placing of large orders for rolling stock by the two major railway systems, which are both building and buying equipment in preparation for traffic growth. These orders have increased the activity in the ironvand steel industries, already busy owing to the larpe amount of structural work and equiment Installation under way in various parts of the country. A firm. tone has prevailed in the bond market, which otherwise has been featureless. Stock prices as a whole have moved Into higher levels. Painting Book "A Trip to Coffee I-amP with.'

Members of both parties will be distributed throughout western Canada, a few being destined for British Columbia. 'Indicative of the type of settler comprising this party is J. L. P.

One . of the girls Is an experienced typist, another Is a milliner and the third Is an expert chemist. This family will nettle near Edmonton. "Are you acquainted with farming methods?" Mr. Edwards was asked by a reporter at the Union station. "The last thing I did before leaving for the boat was to milk twelve cows," he said. "I have been farming for more than fifteen years and as far as I ' was concerned there was no reason why I should leave England. But there was nothing ahead for my boys or my girls. Plenty of tears were shed when we left the old farm. but none of us has any Intention of going back to England to live again. Even with all the snow we have seen. Canada looks good enough to us."

OLD TIME SHIPS RACE TO ENGLAND TIIIKTKKN' K.UI.1M1 VI'.KKLH OS WAV flTII OAHOOKh OK WIIKAT LONDON. April 7. Thirteen old-time ships, under full sail, are on their way to the United Kingdom from Australia with cargoes of wheat. The skippers are making a race for It. It may be the last time these old wind-jammers will race across the world. The 13 ships, which have an average tonnage ot 300 and are scattered over .all parts of the ocean, are: Archibald j Russell; Hougomont; Herzogln Cecllle; O race Harwar; Klloran; Lawhlll; Fontanel Mozart, and Pavel (Finnish); 'prels: Oustav and Llsbeth (Oermany); and. C D. Pedersen (Bwedlah.) I I A hundred days Is considered good 'sailing, but If the wind-Jammer uoin, ground Cape Horn the trip may take 130 or 140 days. The Favell, which Is the smallest of the sailing ships (2.220 tons), was the first to leave Australia. She sailed n January 3, aud will not reiajh Eng land until April, The Herzogln. Clcllle (4 .000 tons) made an exceptionally good ;)dssog out to Australia In ballast. There are only two British sailing ships of any atza In commission. They, are the Oarth Pool and the William Mitchell. Both are on the Australian run. Two other famous British windjammers, Ui Klliualll and tlw Monk barns, have just passed out, The Kll-mallle is being broken up, and .the Monkbarns has gone to Bpaln destined to be a depot Bhlp for a whaling UNITED STATES TARIFF PROBLEM W ITH OPINION IIV1IF.I, MAV UK AYYKWAItll (iCCSTlOV T WASHINGTON I WASHINGTON,: D.C., i April 7 B 1 Cans-tan. Presa)f-Innc&tlous are thel Old Ouard leaders In the House and) Senate will attempt to block any effort! next session revise the tariff. While) they have not formally declared such J an Intention, there are a number of factors In the situation which will1 undoubtedly Impel them to prvenf revision If they can do so. j One factor is the denunciation of existing high rates by farm leaders' In and out of Congress who are aroused by the veto of the McN'ary-Haugen bUl. These farm leaders are threatening when the tariff Is again revised to join In farcing downward a number of high schedules .on manufactured articles such as are most used by the farmer. If the., western republican, or any considerable group of them unite with the democrats to lower rates they can lower trtem, and thus put up to the president a bill which he would be called on to sign or veto, and which would emtfarrass him. The democratic notional committee Is sending out literature hitting at the high schedules and forcing the Issue to the front. This U another reason why the high tariff leaders In the republican membership of Congress would like to '.tt the question rest. Moreover, there Is a sort of superstition among the republicans that It Is unwise to revise the tariff just before i presidential election. The theory Is that the country will have luauraclenl time to find out how the new law actually works and that the voters on the strength of first Impressions may run amuck -and smite the party In power. One might suppose that 11 a majority of the Bouse membership were In favot of tariff revision they would force It on Congress. As Is -well-known, tariff bills must originate in the House. In practice, they originate In the ways and means committee. The majority ol the ways and means commltUe are high tariff men and the House republican organization U high tariff In sentiment. This putt the tariff element In a position where It can block revision unless the sentiment In the House 1 extremely strong for it, and that sentiment can be organised so a to force action. At present, activity Is being displayed In ways and -means circles lu getting ready for tax revision and If this la put to the front It will Increase the difficulty of bringing aboJt tariff re-vision. It wttl be argued by the opponents of revision that there Is not time in one Jesslon to overhaul both the tsx rates and the tariff rates.
