CANADA’S RECORD
TRADE WITH SOUTH AFRICA. Unofficial estimates of Canada’s export trade to the Union" of* l Sotith Africa indicate that it will amount to about 12,000.000 dollars (£2,400,000) when the fiscal year ends this month. If this figure is achieved it will he a new ali-time record.
Comemnting on the remarkable increase of trade between the two Dominions during the first eight months of the fiscal year, the Montreal Gazette says that it has proved an absolute boon to the shipping trade. Motor cars this year undoubtedly topped other commodities in value in the export trade to South Africa. Oddly enough, comments the'Gazette, the apparently less important commodity of silk hosiery was in total value the best commodity exported from Canada to the Union in 1933-34. Hut comparatively good times in 1934 in the Union have led to the purchase of the luxury article —the motor car—in larger quantities, so that silk stockings now hold only second place.
