A despatch from Halifax, N.S., :sayszâ€"With sections of the Nova Sco- tia coast strewn with wreckage; with vessels failing to reach their destin'a-V tions; with no hope that the crew, six all told, of the three-masted schooner Anna MacDonald, portions of which have come ashore on the lonely Pros-‘ pect Ledges, near here, were alive; with the American cruising yacht Shanghai wrecked 01f White Point Bluff, Canso, but her company heroic- .ally and miraculously saved; with the coastal steamer Aspy wrecked at Neil's Harbor, Cape Breton, but with her crew and passengers, numbering about 70, rescued, and with a man drowned at Yarmouth when the schooner Lizzie E. was driven ashore on the Yarmouth bar, it became appar- ent on Thursday that the storm which swept over this Province Tuesday night took a heavy toll of life and :zhipping. :- 214.1 maurruua. Not for years has such surf piled up along the ledges and shoals and headlands of the Province, dashing its victims to destruction. The schooner Julia F. C., Captain Devons, which was reported abandon- ed and about to become a total Vireck near the Bird Rocks, sailed into port just as several craft were about to be despatched in search of her. The Captain stated his crew were dead tired with fighting the storm and were sound asleep in their bunks when hail- ed by the vessel that brought the news of their peril to Sydney and did not hear either hails or Whistles.

The controversy involves hundreds of thousands of dollars of property in Jerusalem and vicinity, as well as in Bethlehem, Nazareth and Haifa, con- sisting of churches, monasteries, hos- pices, parks and other valuable plots of land.

The quotation of 1-32 of one per cent. premium was the highest since the Dominion Government floated a hun- dred million dollar loan in New York in 1922. The present situation is regarded as temporary and due to heavy bor- rowings on the New York market and flood of money in the United States. A despatch- from Toronto says:â€" The golden flood of wheat from the West for a few weeks each year is apt to blind Easterners to the riches at their own door. The very fact that estimates of the major Western crop vary by millions of bushels with every change in the weather makes the sit- uation spectacularâ€"but at the same‘ time very uncertain. In Ontario, on‘ the other hand, 200,000 farms are prm ducing revenue every week in the year. There is no feverish climax. but this steady return over which the weather has relatively little control runs up a tremendous total at the end of the year, exceeding by a third the gross agricultural revenue from the leading Prairie Province, Saskatchewan. It is almost double the output of Manitoba and Alberta combined. A year ago the total revenue reâ€" ceived by Ontario farmers was esti- mated by the Dominion Bureau of Staâ€" tistics at $400,511,000, compared with $576,470,000 received by their fellow< workers in the three Prairie Provinces. It is impossible to take an zit-curate in- ventory of agriculture in Ontario at any given time, as the revuan in a mi ted farming province depends upon prices of dairy, poultry, and other ani- ONTARIO CONTINUES TO IIOIO PREMIER - POSITION ANIONO TOE TNOIIINOTS The-véggstâ€"éifiécfiooner Lady Thor- ;nal and field crop p wctld markets during year.

The first boat lowered was smashedi by seas against the ship’s side and a ‘ reef. The others met with more sucâ€" cess. The 23 passengers, incdiuding: 15 women and children, had a perilous passage over the boiling surf to a ledge at the foot of the cliffs. With, the aid of the Aspy’s searchlight, a cove was discovered, and entering thisi the party clambered to the top of the 'clifi', where they spent the night far from human habitation. With day- Vlight the seamen in the party found a road, by which all made their way to: I Neil’s Harbor. Captain Yorke and the mate are still aboard the Aspy awaiting the ar-. 'rival of other boats of the same fleet, l which will attempt to salvage the bag- I gage and some of the cargo. The ves- i sel is split open, her stern is gone, and although there are 15 fathoms of lwater at her bows the middle of the ship is stuck fast among the rocks.

Fall wheat has averaged 27 bushels per acre,'oats should run about 35, hay yielded a ton and one-half, potatoes and roots pmmise the best crop in years, and corn, while late, in the ma- .jority of fields should mature safely.

June and July of this year a total of 64,023 immigrants were admitted to Canada, and during the same period a total of 18,870 Canadians returned to this country from the United.States, of which total 16,166 were Canadian- born citizens, 1,646 were British sub- jects who had acquired Canadian domicile, and 1,058 were Canadian citizens (naturalized). First Four Months of 1924 Witness the Come Back of 1&870 Citizens. This makes an average per month of Canadians returning from the Un- ited States in the first four months of the present fiscal year of 4,717. In April the total of returning Canadians was 4,078; in May, 4,936; in June, 4,720, and in Juiy, 5,127. July's total of immigration into Canada, which was 10,778, was a de-. crease of 23 per cent. from the same month last year. while the total of 64.023 for the four months ending July 31 was an increase of 17 per cent. over the corresponding period last year. Of the total for the four months, 33,248 were British, 7,005 were from the Uni-ted States, and 23,- 770 were from other countries. For July this year 4,789 were British, 1,- 573 were from the United States, and 4,416 from other countries. There has been the usual sersonal falling off of immigration into Canada during the summer months, entries for April be ing the high mark, with 19,330, which was an increase of 103 per cent. over the same month in 1923.
