PRESENT   OUTLOOK   PROMISES  AMPLE STABILITY IN:  ALL  LINES  ^Notwithstanding the contusion and  uncertainty born of the' present pro;  cess of re-adjustment necessitated by  impending price reductions, there are  apparent on all sides of trade and  commerce, industry and building activity indications of ample stability.  The recent changes in price in some  lines of the. necessities of life have  had the effect of making business men  and bankers somewhat cautious about  future commitments. v Accordingly,  business is now.being done on a somewhat shorter term . credit. basis than  perhaps is normal. If the- consumers,  including the contractors.and builders  as well as those who deal in other  commodities outside of the building  trade, on their side, exercise cqrres;'  yondence prudence in appreciating the  economic signs of times, business  stability will pursue an even course.  The consumers "in ordinary commercial life may be regarded*as-occupying a happier "position «it the  moment than' the retailers, for while  the situation of the latter is rendered  somewhat difficult by the fact that so  many of them have on hand-large  stocks that were purchased at high  figures, the reductions in, the prices  charged by important wholesalers in  different parts of the country, are  trending to .transfer the benefits from  manufacturers directly'and at once to  the consumers, to the retailers' loss.  This would seem to be inevitable. '  In the case of builders and contractors, the majority of them—as far as  the local situation Is concerned—are  still twixt the devil arid the deep sea  in the matter of material costs. There  are persistent rumors of price reductions in building-materials, but so far  they have only turned out to be rum?  ors, with the possible • exception of  lumber prices. But these persistent  rumors have tended to prevent many  owners who would otherwise by this  time have made up. their minds to  proceed   with   some   building job,   to  postpone it until 'next spring in the  vain hope that material prices may  take a drop by that time.  Some danger may" develop in the  present situation in commodities if  the consumers exaggerate the downward tendency and hold back their  purchases unduly in the hope that  there will be a tobaggon slide in  prices, when the general advantage  ■would be definite, because- more durable, if the change is gradual and consistent. The present appreciable induction in the cost of living is bound  to have this result; it will alleviate  these- discordant conditions in the-  labor world which ever and anon have  threatened disturbances which in  their effects would revenge their misfortunes on the heads of everybody;  and most of all—if they but knew itch the laborers'. On the whole, the  present position seems eminently  sound. The outlook is'brighter, especially for B. C, and the times are  golden   .in    opportunity—if    practices  J.  p.   HODGSON  A.

It is expected the foundations  Will be completed .by tlje end of the  year by which time the company expects to take delivery of the steel for  the plant.  The Lever-West Gas Improvement  Company, of Manchester, England,  which has the general contract for  erecting the retorts, will start work  about the middle of January on their  part of the undertaking.  CREDITORS  WILL  TAKE  ;   OVER Y. M. C. A. BUILDING  There being no chance to raise sufficient funds for the completion of the,  unfinished Y. v M. C. A. building on  Georgia street, arrangements are being made by the directorate of the  Y. M. C. A. to turn the building as it  stands, over to the creditors. Just  v/hat the creditors will do with the  structure has not ,yet been decided  but a meeting is'to. be held shortly  at which it is probable some arrangement will be made to dispose of the  building at the best figure possible.  In any event the creditors plan_ to become active in the matter and do not  intend to allow the building to remain on their hands any longer than  possible, as they consider that much  time has been wasted already.  The work already done on the building is valued at $180,916, of which sum  5141,812 is still owing to the contractors.    It has been  estimated that to  FRAME SCHOOL TO BE  BUILT AT  KILGARD  VICTORIA—Kids -are being asked  by tho Provincial Government for the  construction of a one-roomed frame,  schoolhouse at Kilgard, .near Sumas.  The need of a school in the, Kilgurd  district has been apparent for some  time and the Government architect  was instructed to prepare plans for a  suitable frame building. These plans  are now ready and tenders are being  called by the Provincial Department  of Public Works.  It is estimated that the school building will cost between $5,000 and $6,000.
