Bright Business Prospects
Marred By Gloomy Streaks

By FRANKLIN PRICE

Few streaks of gloom marred
the. bright bussiness outlook of
B.C. Estimates of capital expan-
sion in 1953 showed an increase
of eight percent. Shipments of
lumber to the United States
market were well ahead of last
year, offsetting the falling off in
orders from the United Kingdom,
A total $5,000,000 sale of canned
salmon to the U.K. was the first
in two years and will help reduce
record-high stocks on hand.

On the: gloomy side, lumber
prices were substantially lower
than last year, and were expected
to go lower, Base metal “prices
were at a new low, mine shut-
downs increased, and the prospect
was for possible further price
drops. No important improve-
ment in the depressed fishing in-
dustry was in the offing, as B.C.
fish prices continued relatively
high, and sterling markets re-

- mained closed because of ex-

change difficulties,
OIL MAY REPEACE LUMBER

Oil in the Peace River country
may be so pientiful that it will,
in time, replace lumber as the
province's chief industry,

This prediction (was made by

NEW RAILWAY OPENS SOON

Passenger trains are expected
to be running on the Quesnel -
Prince George section of the

within two or three weeks. Rail-
way officials in Vancouver, and
in. the Cariboo, are busy making
last minute preparations _ the
historic event.

No date has been definitely set,
although May 12 has been men-
tioned, Since completion of the
line last fall, only freight trains
have made use of the long -
awaited extension.

BREAD PRICES RISE
Bread prices in a number of
B.C. points have jumped as much
as two cents a loaf as a result of
increased costs to the producer,
Bakers say they have to pay
more for flour because of the new
