Agricultural and Industrial Progress in Clanada A monthly review of Agricultural and Industrial progress in Canada, published by the Department of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Montreal, Canada. Vol. 3—No. 10 MONTREAL October, 1921 An Eventful Month. EVENTS transpiring during the past month have been of more than usual interest and give solid ground for growing con- fidence and optimism. The western crop—on which the eyes of commercial and industrial Canada have been earnestly turned—has proved up to expectations and is being rapidly garnered and shipped. Western railway mileage is already feeling the beneficial effect. Farmers showed an incli- nation to market their grain early with the result that by the middle of the month over 1000 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 fifty- seven thousand for the same period of the preceding year. The early move- ment of grain has had an excellent effect I' = on Western business and a good fall trade is anticipated. It is not without significance that the general managers of two Canadian banks have visited the West Indies though the visit was ostensibly a holiday one. Sir John Aird of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and Mr. H. A. Richardson of the Bank of Nova Scotia are both heads of banks whose branches are extensive in West Indian territory. In an interview in the Jamaica Gleaner, Mr. Richard- son pointed out that it was the policy of Cana- dian steamship lines to place ships on routes, in the interests of exporters, to all points that promised development in trade relations, and he hoped that shipping interests would receive sufficient encouragement, both from Canadian and West Indian ends, to warrant regular and increasingly frequent sailings.
