Each week brings fresh evidence that the general trend of Canadian business has turned for the bet- ter, and there has been an increase in the number of elements of strength that show the Dominion Ito be capable of a. more rapid come- back than some of the larger and more intensively developed coun-. ytries, whose industrial and com- i_mercial activities are more diver- Isified, says Dan's weekly review of ‘Canadian trade. There are new ,deflnite signs that the acutencss of lthe depression is passing, and the [ratification of the Empire trade agreement and the approval of the railway reforms will acceferatc re- covery further.

Retail trade has shown a moder- ate expansion, particularly in ready- wear items, sporting goods, radios. small electrical appliances, house- hold lines and kitchen specialties. Some branches of the hardware trade are enjoying a good demand from country districts but the sales of implements have declined to thc low point of the season.

Agricultural implement manufac- turers have benefited somewhat by tha recent policy of writing-off por- tions of debts owed them, in ex- change for new orders. Sales, while in excess of the volume of last fail, remain disappointing. Winter au- tomotive accessories are being quot- ed, in many cases, at lower prices, but the ” ‘ le movement is not large. Sheet metal is moving fairly well at retail, chiefly for building repairs. ‘There has been a siight improvement in metal fabricating industries in western Ontario.
