If Fort Churchill could be kept open for navigation as long,, say, as the St. Lawrence route, it will deprive Montreal. the Atlantic side of the Dominion, and Vancouver on the Pacific, of enormous ship- ments in grain. Halifax, how ever, will not be affected by this new route, since it is a winter port, pure and simple, in, respect of Canadian grain for Europe; while the Hudson Bay terminals are exclusively for summer use, Probable Trade Development Hallfax, however, will benefit In another way. It has recently become known that a great ship- ping business will be done be tween Halifax and Fort Churchill. The interior of Western Canada will want bituminous coal, fish, fruit, and manufactures all brought in through the Hudson Bay during the open summer months. Halifax is in a better position for such a trade than other Canadian porta. Nova Scotia is pre-eminently a coal- bearing province. Its mines are as inexhaustible as those of Bri tain. Its Balt-water fisheries are amongst the most productive in
