Intermittent rains in Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta have virtually stopped operations, and wheat sprouting is reported, preventing threshing in .!?. an y cas es. It is undoubtedly true that millions of bushels w,l] be cut from the estimated prairie yield by the spell of wet weather. The current low prices for wheat have influenced a number of farmers to leave the grain lying in the fields.

Expectations of a good showing by Arthur Guinness, Son and Co., Ltd., the Dublin brewers of stout, are realised in the figures abcompanying the final dividend announcement. The dividend is at the same rate as for the previous year, namely, 15 per cent., with a bonus of 5 per cent., making 35 per cent, in all for the year, less income tax, as is now the company s practice; but the addition to the reserve fund is £200,000 in place of £lOO,OOO, and £35,000 has been transferred to depreciation, while the balance remaincarr'ed forward is increased to £801,430, as compared with £642,357. From this showing it is evident that profits have increased in a satisfactory manner under adverse conditions of general trade depression.
