T. Wollman & Co, | New York brokers. “Contributory factors,” they say, ‘have been the incipient buyers’ strikes in various lines of commodi-| more expecially in sugar and | the textiles, the curtailment in pro-| | jected large building operations and | | | a readjustment of a temporary over- | production in crude oll, without a | refinery capacity capable of han- dling it, together with our own po- | Ntical situation, which is very much mixed. “While conditions abroad are un- | favorable, the general opipion is that a settlement will be arrived at and the stock market, following its usual procedure, ia discounting conditions six months oF a year hence. While} many wtocks appear cheap, careful | discrimination should be exercixed in | making commitments, for with" the | settlement of the reparations. prob- lom there will be increased foreign competition with finished goods in our markets and this should be taken into careful consideration.” You've not scen the CANADI: MOUNT. seen from Hobson valley to Mt, Robson, a From the in an nimo wit obtained by Hmperor Falls enormoy perpetual sn: higher than Niagai ite mnow-orpped sheer rise of two miles. he supreme lowing the trail to Berg Lake, The Highest Peak in the Canadian Rockies ROCKIES until you've ROBSON Diatform, presents an awe-inspiring peaks, encircled by fleecy Its slopes aro atreaked and view of Mt.
