A commercial agreement between Brazil and Canada was signed provisionally on Friday. The agreement is now effective. The Canadian trade with Brazil is considerable. a Canada receives a minimum tariff on all goods exported to Brazil under the provisional treaty. Canada is also given most-favoured nation treatment, entitling the Dominion free entry for Canadian fresh fruits. In return Canada grants Brazil her intermediate tariff. Previously imports from Brazil entered Canada under the general tariff. The treaty is made provisional because a treaty of a more permanent character must have tho approval of tho Canadian Parliament beforo' it, becomes effective. At the next session of Parliament it is understood that a treaty will be submitted giving Brazil most-favoured nation treatment.
