The crops of grapes and peaches in the Niagara district are very heavy, and while the price is low, the revenues will show an increase. "We are doing better, too, in eggs, buttet and bacon. The tex- tiles and boots and shoes manufac- turers are cncouraged by the up- swing in business, while the retail trade generally shows improvement.

Problem of Rent for People in Apartments to be Discussed In order to discuss the statue of people on relief who live in apartments, in which the rent algo includes heating and water, and fometimes light, a joint meeting of the shelter and relief store committee of the Public Welfare Board has been called for Tuesday evening next, in the city treasurer's office, The problem which has arisen is caused by the fact that the rent allowance made is based on taxes, and while this has worked out satisfactorily in the case of people who are renting houses, it does not cover the situation of those in apartments, or occupying rooms in a house, In such cases, the tax allowance has been found quite inadequate to meet the add- ed expense of heating and water which the owner has to pay, and which is included in the monthly rent. The two committees, meet- ing jointly, will endeavor to work out a satisfactory solution to thig problem.

All the delegates interpreted the Premier's words as "almost a pro- mise" that something would be done to relieve the situation, as soon as possible. The Premier assured the delegation, according to reports submitted last night, that the so called moratorium, otherwise the Mortagors and Purchasers' Re- lief Act recently passed as an em ergency measure, would be re- enacted to be enforce for a further period after it lapses at the end of the present session of the Legis- lative Assembly. The majority of the delegates also interpreted Premier Henry's words to them on Thursday as an assurance that the provisions of the moratorium would also be greatly extended in order to cover just such conditions as those described to him by the Oshawa delegation, and take in such items as interest on - . pavments together with taxes due. The dclegates also assured the meeting that any such extension of the provisions of the existing mora- torium would be made re-troactive to January 1 of this year. The general feeling of the meet- ing, as expressed by the chairman, Fred Cooper, was that the action taken by the meeting of two weeks ago in appointing the delegation was most successful, and that the small individual property holder can cease to worry over his affairs as he has lately been doing. .'uel Investigation Ottawa, Oct. 22--The Canadian Fuel Board has been requested by Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Mines, to enquire into and prepare a emmorandum of the facts on coal prices in Canada. Official announ- cement to this effect was made late last night by the Minister, Meighen Speaks Ottawa, Oct, 22--Fears of a coal combine charging cxccssive prices to Canadian consumers on the eve of a hard winter are not wholly jus- tified by information the Govern- ment has been able to obtain, Right Hon, Arthur Meighen told the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon when the matter was raised by the woman Senator of Ottawa, Hon. Cairine Wilson. Senator Meighen said he had been advised by the Minister of Labor and Mines, Hon, Wesley A. Gordon, that the Dominion Fuel Board, which keeps constantly in touch with fuel costs and prices, is giving special attention to the mat- ter now. He also left the door open for all investivotion by the Senate if that body deems such an inquiry liver at Monday's meeting. necessary, a suggestion which com- is Ordered by Federal Minister of Labor mended itself to several members of the upper House. Senator Wilson brought the mat- ter up immediately the Senate met, and Mr. Meighen replied as follows: Meighen's Statement "I intended to speak today with reference to the statement made some days ago by the Senator from Rougemont, Hon. Rodolphe Lem- jeux. The only thing I can say in addition to what I said at that time would be this: "I took the matter up with the Minister of Labor, referring to him the allegation of the honorable Sen- ator, and he advises me that the Dominion Fuel Board keeps con- stantly in touch with fuel costs and prices in relation not only to Welsh anthracite but to all fuels under consumption in Canada; that the board is giving special attention to the matter now, in view of the re- quest of the honourable Senator, and it is probable that at a later date some informative and useful data may be supplied to the House. I think, from what information 1 can get, that all fears are not quite justified."
