(CP)
Business
activity
in
Canada
during
the
first
half
of
1935
should
not
be
expected
to
compare
favorably
with
the
same
period
last
year,
Graham
Towers,
Governor
of
the
Bank
of
Canada,
told
the
third
annual
shareholders'
meeting
here.
The
prophecy
was
based'
on
what
happened
during
the
last
half
of
last
year,
Towers
said.
A
satisfactory
crop
in
Western
Canada
would
represent
a
distinct
gain
over
1937,
the
bank
head
said.
"Had
it
not
been
for
the
disastrous
drought,
I
believe
the
voluume
of
business
in
Canadalast
year
would
have
risen
above
the
1926-29
level;
Never-the
less
for
the
country
as
a
whole,
last
year
was
a
good
year."

Towers
urged
continued
caution
