QUTLODKINCANADA DECLAED BETTER Railway Bulletin Says De- pression Seems to Have Blown Over: Special Dispatch to The Star. MONTREAL, Quebec., February 15.— Pronounced optimism on the business | outlook in Canada during 1932 was con- | tained in a special bulletin released | here today by the Department of Immi- gration and Colonization of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway. | ‘The bulletin reviewed the many en- couraging factors which developed in the closing weeks of 1931 and the first month of 1932 and then quoted from the official handbook of the Dominion government as follows: “The great storm of depression would appear, so far as Canada is concerned, | to have fairly well blown itself out. The price level, after a precipitate de- cline lasting over nearly two years, seems to be in a fair way to stabiliza- | tion, and this should bring a return of | confidence among business men and | producers generally. The restoration | of confidence should lead to a gradual | increase of employment, a greater vol- ume of production, and an increase in the transportation of commodities.” Public finances throughout Canada, the bulletin pointed out. have borne up well and not a single run has developed on any chartered ban “In the agricultural industry, soxe very favorable factors have lately made their abpearance.” the buletin contin- ued. “Wheat farming, live stock farm- ing. and dairy farming have all witnessed encouraging developments in recent months. Abundant supplies and low prices of staple agricultural com- modities are stimulating both domestic | consumption and international move- | ment, and in this feature lies the main | hope of improved agricultural condi- | tions.” { Of export trade, the bulletin says: “Despite the general downward trend of trade during 1931, a number of | Canadian exports showed increases and | in the month of December there were | important increases in the exports of | grain, raw furs, meats, alcobolic bev- erages. square timber, copper asbestos.” —e Deer Rescued by Roping. The roping experience of Everett Gaylord. former Western cowboy, helped him rescue a deer which had wandered onto the ice of a ‘lake in Connecticut. The deer was exhausted from skidding arcund when Gaylord lascoed it and dragged it to shore. Then the deer bounded into the woods. Nearly 90 firms are now engagd in the Scotch tweed industry of Scotland. February 15 VETERAN OF NEW YORK BENCH DIRECTS CHILDREN'S ORCHESTRA Judge Leopold Prince Spends Spare Time as Leader of Musical Organization of 100 Boys and Girls. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 13.—Judge Leopold Prince, who pounds a gavel in the Municipal Court all day and wields a director's baton in the evenings, be- lieves a wider appreciation of music would tend to eliminate wars. “The hand that wields a violin bow,” he said today. “seldom if ever drops it | to pick up a sword.” Judge Prince is director of an ama- tuer orchestra composed of 100 boys and girls, and ke works out the intricacies of difficult symphony arrangements with the same facility that he solves an ab- struse problem in torts or contracts while on the bench. “Teach the children to love good music,” he said, “and you teach them idealism. You develop their souls—you teach them to see the beautiful things in life and to ignore the sordid and mis- erable things.” Provides Instruments. Many of “his children,” as he calls them, are too poor to afford instru- ments, so he buys them for them. Like- wise. he buys the music and pays the hundred-and-one incidental expenses of staging his concerts. He spends his holidays and his vaca- tions in the music libraries, searching for novel arrangements, and hopes soon to present an all-American program. Last Summer his orchestra played one CHICAGO’S CRIME COST $6.65 FOR EACH CITIZEN | Judge Famous for Campaign Against Outlaws Bares Expense of Fight to Clean Up City. By the Associated Press.

Recent Prices. For the most part it was $4.75 to $7.50 steer trade at Chicago. Killing quality was plain, especially in the sup- ply of heavy bullocks, although the (Wweek's top on heavies stood at $9. Yearlings topped at $9.25. Every- thing selling above $8 showed a fairly high degree of finish, but the fact that MOXNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1932. a few odd lots of choice steers brought $9 to $9.50 is a commentary on the lack of finished offerings as well as an indication of what kjllers will pay in a limited way for honestly finished steers or yearlings. Although the quality was lower than last week the demand for fed steers and yearlings was fairly broad at Kansas City. The prospects of any liberal sup- pl7 of highly finished steers seemed to be slim in the opinion of most Chicago trade prophets, their belie/ being based on the liquidating attitude of the coun- try during the last two months. ‘Although the dressed beef market is in much better shape than it was two weeks ago the weakening influence of & $6 to $6.50 wholesale pork loin mar- ket must still be regarded as a severe handicap. Accordingly, the last week's cattle advance must be considered somewhat forced, so much so in fact that anything like a liberal run next week probably will lead to the reac- tionary markets and sharply lower prices on the rank and file of fat cattle. escape a severe decline would be strictly good steers and yearlings now going on | shipper account.

One of the largest hog runs of the Winter arrived at Chicago on Monday and prices broke to the previous low of the season. Supplies, however, were curtailed, leaving closing prices about steady with a week ago on all classes. At Kansas City the hog market was slow to unevenly lower with prices about the same as a week ago. Under local butcher and shipper demand slaughter classes advanced 5 to 20 cents at Omaha and at East St. Louls were steady to 10 cents lower. Lamb Trades.
