The question is how Northport smelter closed indefinitely last Monday morning. The steel for the drossing plant is being erected, the addition being estimated to cost $150,000. Low price of lead is given as the reason for closing. LABPR-CAPITAL PARTNERSHIP The world is short of all kinds of goods, especially' food and clothing. There is also a vast amount of construction work necessary, and while this applies to the devastated regions especially, it is also true nearly everywhere else—including right here in Vancouver. This is the natural result I struction. is much of this demand for things is so urgent that buying, now that the war ( is over, will take place at once, or soon, with prices as high as they are, and how much, at least 'of that part in control of individual and not government enterprise, will hold,' back and wait for lower prices of materials, if not labor, before undertaking con- of the fact that for over four years the world has lost its normal upkeep and extension' plans.

Retail trade shows some improvement, hut is still quiet. Factories are fairly busy and collections good. Montreal—Buyers returning from Europe say it is very difficult to make purchases, as there is a great shortage of tweeds and serges. Tailors have advanced prices on clothing and do not look for easing up until a year from now. The cause of this is | said to be the English government controlling supplies and prices of wool. Canadian cotton mills are working to full capacity on orders. Cables from England have asked the Canadian Trade Commission for information regarding the production in Canada of cheap lines of boots and shoes for men, women and children! There seems to be a gradual easing up in the prices of food products. Flour is dull and prices rule easy, but there is a big demand for bran and shorts, prices of which are firm. Rolled oats are firmer. Beans are a drag on the market. Money is, plentiful and collections are good Retail trade has been, fair.
