They did just that. While sales of Canadian-made autos dropped by about five per cent in the first months of 1658, sales of im- fram Britain and continen- Europe rose by a smashing per cent:

WORRIES CAR MAKERS

Of course in actual volume the big Canadian cars were far ahead of the smaller European models. But there. was no doubt that the decline of Canadian sales had producers worrying.

Sales of Canadian-made cars in the January October period dropped to an estimated 320,182 from 336,518 in the similar 1957 period. October showed an up- Swing, to 27,655 cars from 20,973 a year earlier, but federal ex- perts suggested the rise was due mostly to earlier introduction of 1959 models.

In contrast, sales of d¥erseas| cars in Canada rose in the 10’ months to 64,000 from 41,700 a

Sees Newsprint’ Demand Higher

MONTREAL (CP) ° —R. M. Fowler, president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association and the Newsprint Association of Can- ada, says signs point to an in- creased demand for newsprint in 1959.

In a year-end revi industry Friday, said:

“The decline in newsprint con- sumption which was so evident at the end of 1957 and in the first half of 1958 appears to have been halted and the demand for mewsprint again seems to be slowly increasing.” ° 5

He indicated: that the demand|£ ig mot expected to be such as to enable mills to operate at fill capacity. During 1958 the mills|3 sometimes operated at only 81 per cent of capacity.
