The other Ni".-rmals are lled to capacity too. All of which goes to show that the higher salaries are attracting men and young women to the teach- ing prot`ession. In war times teach- ers salaries were doubled in many` instances and young men were al- most eliminated from the prcyfession. With the increasing number teachers it does look as though salaries had reached the high water mark and it may mean a reduction in some instances despite the Federation's regulations. the young` of` 4 The niarketiug or the crop is causing a slight revival of business throughout the Dominion, but there is no sigli of unusual activity, with the exception of t1`uns`portation. .\Ianur`nctu1'ers are not receivin;.: or- (`love in urnvrnnf H10 hnlinf Han} hnci. .\l2lIlU|llL'll.lltfl'S d.lU HUL l'UUt, l\l1|g`-', U1` ders to warrant the belief that busi- ness will be any more active in the near future.

The principal change is that re- garding the appointment of trustees. Under the "old conditions any insol- vent person could maike a. assign- ment to any authorized trustee, sub- ject to conrmation Iby the `meeting of creditors. The amendments to the Bankruptcy Act make it neces- sary to assign to the official receiver, owlioin there are 13 in Ontario, for as many districts. The oicial re- ceiver from among the principal creditors may appoint a custodian, who takes charge of the estate and convenes the meeting of creditors, and these mayappoint a trustee. who proceeds with the winding up of the estate.

It` the creditors approved -of any :pI`0- posal and the court conrmed it, that settled it.

The volume of wheat actually de- livered to date in the prairie prov- inces indicates that the early crop estimates, regarded as too optimistic, will be realized. `when reports of damage by rust in southern .\Iani- toba. and southern Saskatchewan had come to hand, these estimates were largely discounted. The qual- ity of the early deliveries of wheat .was also anything but satist'actory.. Later, however, when the wheat be- gan to arrive from the more north- `erly and far western areas, the qual- ity was t'ound to be a good average, while the actual yield was ntully The concensus of opinion now appears to be that the wheat crop will amount to 450,000,000 bushels.
