CANADIAN BUSINESS

CONDITIONS

Employment At Higher Level

During First Quarter

"

The physical volume of business in Canada carly in 1937 has been about ten per cent ahead of that in the corresponding period of 1936 and other statistical indexes show that a satis- factory rate of expansion is being maintained. In base metal mining and in a number of branches of manufacturing,' all pre- vious records "will be surpassed before the close of the year. The amount of electrical energy gonorated during the first quar- ter is well ahead of previous records. and of itself this is a good index of productive activity.

To report only those instances where business expansion has carried statistics to high levels would convey a false impression, and, in order to secure balanced picture it might be well to con- trast the statistics of employment. which are close to record levels with those for car loadings since the latter figures convey a rather number of ob- pessimistic plcture of the general servations on the answers to cer- situation. Each of these tain questions addressed by themserles gives its own cross section to the Commissioners, 1

"In this connection it is pointed out that in 1931 the Commissioners stated that they would not ap prove any extension to the Fulham station which, did not provide for heating the flue gases. and it is therefore recommended that similar provision should be sidered in connection with the pre- sent extension at Battersea.
