 CANADIAN TRADE PROGRESS. 
 
 It is now five or six years since we be- 
 gan in these columns a review of business 
 progress in certain fairly representative 
 towns in Ontario and Quebec. The diffi- 
 culty at the time in securing reliable data 
 compelled us to abandon the idea. We, 
 however, felt that it should not be wholly 
 given up, and now that a better opportu- 
 nity offers, we resume the work. 
 
 The object is to show what progress the 
 different larger towns and villages have 
 made during the ten years just expired 
 and also during the period baclf to Confed- 
 eration. For that purpose we shall en- 
 deavc :• to institute a series of comparisons 
 compiled from reliable sources, giving the 
 population, the number of persons en- 
 gaged in trade and manufacture, the 
 amount of capital invested, and the princi- 
 pal successful survivals during the decade, 
 furnishing simply a picture of the condi- 
 tion of trade and traders in the years 1888, 
 1884 and 1894 respectively. The two early 
 
dates mark Important epochs in the his- 
 tory of Canada, 1868 being the first year 
 after Confederation, and 1884 the year 
 when the first through trains began run- 
 ning on the Canadian Pacific Railway. 
 
 Local influences, and the various causes 
 that make or mar business prosperity, will 
 be taken due account of. It will, of course, 
 te borne in mind that in many cases there 
 Is less capital required to-day than in 
 former times in beginning or conducting 
 any business in which the stock Is wholly 
 or mainly imported. The same condition 
 will, apply, though in a less degree, to 
 goods of domestic manufacture. Prices of 
 most commodities have been greatly re- 
 duced during the periods under review? 
 and the facility with which repeat orders 
 can be filled calls for the employment of 
 less capital in country stores ; but the diff- 
 erent lines will be commented upon as the 
 review progresses. It is hoped that our 
 endeavors will not be in vain, and that the 
 information supplied will b'^ of some in- 
 terest to our readers. Some half-a-dozen

 The list prepared for this issue treats of 
 a few representative towns in Nova Scotia. 
 It is a pleasing duty to note the steady en- 
 terprise of the places mentioned and to 
 find so large a number of pioneer mer- 
 chants or their sons, who have remained at 
 the helm throughout the stretch of years, 
 intervening since Confederation. Still 
 more gratifying is the knowledge that 
 most of the survivors have steadily added 
 to their fiir.ncial worth. In reviewing the 
 growth of the population and business en- 
 terprise in these localities account must be 
 taken of the natural gradual lapse of such 
 industries as lumbering, mining, etc., where 
 
16 
 
 capital and population are liable to be 
 transferred to newer fields:—

 shows that close proximity to the neighbor-

 The two fairly representative towns 
 treated of this week, though not exhibit- 
 ing as marked a degree of popular growth 
 as places where "booms" have been more 
 or less manifest, yet show what should be 
 regarded as highly satisfactory progress. 
 There is one feature of these statements 
 which has doubtless not escaped our 
 [readers, namely, that though the popula- 
 ition has not made as rapid advances as in 
 [more southerly towns, the growth of wealth 
 
84 
 
 has evidently more than maintained Its 
 l)roportion— that there is a greater degree 
 of comfort as compared to the population 
 ^which, notwithstanding Goldsmith's oft- 
 quoted couplet, is something of which we 
 have reason to be proud— than is recorded 
 for so-called '*more-favored" localities :—

 Dwns or 
 le con- 
 
 trary they show a large addition in wealth 
 and population, a convincing testimony of 
 the soundness of the faith in the future of 
 these places as expressed by some of the 
 representative inhabitants. Among those 
 to whom Granby ow es much of its progress 
 first and foremost is Mr. S. H. C. Miner, 
 best known as the originator and promoter 
 of the Granby Rubber Company. Other 
 local enterprises also attest his business 
 tact and energy, but these have already 
 been referred to in our columns. The 
 population of Grauby advanced 50 per 
 cent, for the 10 years prior to 1890, and 30 
 per cent, from 1890 to 1895. The remark- 
 able growth of this town goes to show 
 what one master mind may accomplish 
 with fairly suitable materials to work 
 upon. The figures speak for themselves :—

 The places chosen for treatment this 
 week are the two important cities of St, 
 Hyacinthe and St. Johns, in the Province 
 of Quebec. Both of these are manufac- 
 turing centres, and the remarkable pro- 
 gress they show is doubtless largely due 
 to the judicious enterprise of leading man- 
 ufacturers. The name» of Feodor Boas 
 calls for no mention in St. Hyacinthe. His 
 name is as a household word to every 
 citizen, and there is no doubt that a large 
 proportion of the increase shown in the 
 third column— capital invested— subjoined, 
 is due to his public, high spirited enter- 
 prise . Mr. Boas is one of the very few 
 manufacturers who decry Protection. The 
 manufactories conducted by him do not 
 appear in the list below, but no one will 
 deny that he has more than made amends 
 during the several years he has been in

 business. Our readers will be pleased to 
 note the large number of time -honored 
 prosperous houses in this provincial city. 
 
 In St. Johns the drain pipe and earthen- 
 ware factories and the Corticello Silk 
 Mlils, contribute largely to the prosperity 
 of that city. It will, of course, be under- 
 stood that the capital of the local banks is 
 not included in the subjoined statistics of 
 both places :—

 not fail to be struck with the great growth 
 in wealth as shown by the amount of 
 capital invested, as compared with the 
 former dates, respectively in those places. 
 The salt industry has no doubt contrib- 
 uted in no small degree to the prosperity 
 of Goderich, as doubtless also have the 
 manufactures of agricultural implements, 
 furniture, leather, etc. 
 
 Woodstock and its vicinity can lay claim 
 to probably one of the most desirable 
 classes of settlers in Canada; and that 
 early influences are a fair index event- 
 ually of prosperity is shown by the per- 
 manent and subp^antial character of its 
 manufacturers and merchants. This town 
 has long been a centre of manufactures 
 of furniture, musical instruments, stoves, 
 brooms, etc. We subjoin the usual statis-

 We have no record of Victoria, B. C, 
 prior to 1884, but there will be few to claim 
 that Its progress in the period given will 
 not bear favorable comparison with other 
 places on the Pacific coast. It will be seen 
 that the population has increased nearly 
 four-fold, while the capital invested is 
 about tw'^^e and a half what it was ten 
 y«ars ago :—
