less Canadian bacon than in 1948 with no change in price, less cheese with no change in price and fewer eggs at lower prices than this year. Contracts for the purchase of bee! and mutton were not renewed.

The four-year contract for tho sale of wheat to Britain continued and for the 1948-49 crop year Can- adian wheat producers were guar- anteed $2 a bushel for the 140,000,- 000 bushels being shipped under the arrangement.

During its session earlier in the year, parliament adopted legislation to continue certain wartime powers necdcd to enable the government to fulfil the food agreements.
