The most Interesting: featureln die commercial situation of the Canadian west from the standpoint of the American business man is the steady increase in the sale of American goods throughout the western provinces. Several traveling men who have just returned from their initial trips to Edmonton and western Canada report one of the largest booking of orders ever taken by them. Whether trade always "follows the flag" or not It certainly follows the settler, and American farmers and business men have become so numer ous In western Canada that the re tailer Is compelled to carry lines of American goods. In spite of all hindrances of custom tariffs, such staples as boots and shoes, drugs, groceries, hardware, machinery and other staple mercantile linos are mak ing good headway. Machinery, en gines, tools and hardware are mostly of American manufacture. Retailers tocnlnin that goods bought in the United States are more cheaply, easily and safely handled, and are improving in quality every year. Enterprising firms in the states are sending more of their best commercial salesmen to call on the tUftde In this Canadian ter ritory. According to the experience of one of these representatives of large business houses who are invading western Canada, the higher grade goods are the best sellers and at the most favorable prices. In the cheaper lines it is not easy to meet prices of goods already in the field, but on bet ter qualities there was a good profit after the duty was added to the selling prices. All this has come about in the past few years. Until recently all com mercial travelers came only as far as the boundary line. But the great movement of American settlers into the west has brought about the change. The immigration into Can ada has increased from 49.000 in 1901 to 189,000 in 1906. Some 58,000 of these 189,000 came from the United States. This is the motive power that is expanding trade in this direction.

The American has brought not only capital but a large buying capacity acquired by years of generous living and the hab it of using all the necessities and many of the luxuries of life. He has the ha bit also of farming on a broad scale that calls for large purchases, and all these things make for increased volume of business. Another reason the Canadian west is buying American goods Is also sig nificant of the tremenddus western development. It is this. The Cana dian jobbers are unable to supply the demand for goods. They are way be hind in filling orders, and cannot get shipments fast enough from the east to keep up their stocks. Under such conditions the American manufactur er and jobber finds the time opportune for extending his markets.
