TRADE WITH BRITAIN."
I Colonel Jarvis was asked about CaH nada's growing population and her j trade, anci, in reply, said the latest figures available showed that the im- • migrants arriving in Canada averaged s ' 2800 a week, and he believed it would | be found that at least 100,000 American citizens would have settled in Cana--3 I da during the past year. "Great Britain I : is our best customer," he continued. "We sell Britain 93 per cent, of our butter output, 90 per cent, of our cheese, 76 per cent, of our poultry, and i 99 per cent, of our bacon and hams." ! "How do you find the steamship companies "respond in the matter of refrigeration and insulation facilities?" "At first we had to give a bonus tc , steamers with cold storage plants. Now the trade has grown to such an extent that there is no need to do this. The companies make their own arrangements, realising that the best equipped ships get the business."
