SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 12.15 p.m. to-dav. OTTAWA, June 12. The total wealth of Canada is estimated at over 22,000,000,001) dollars, according to a bulletin issued by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, or 252-5 dollars per capita, which is one of the highest in the world. Agricultural values include 8,000,000,000 of ruban real estate and 6.000,000,000 of railways. It- is significant that the per caipta wealth, which ignores undeveloped resources, is the greatest in the four western provinces, where natural resources other than farm lands are least developed. There has been remarkable increases in revenue from wool, dairy products, tobacco, and honey, the last of which five years ago was not recognised by the Government. and which now enjoys a revenue of 2.000,000 dollars.
