It has been well said that “the more we get the we want.” Not so many years ago the only ntqr communication between Prince Edward

§l`alid and the Mainland was by hand drawn ice _,fats The man whose business abroad was suffi- ,iglently pressing to Justify the strenuous crossing and

Not a pound of freight could be shipped ' A-:inward or outward. ' ' ' - ' _ Later a wooden steamer was built as an experi- ment in ice-breaking and she succeeded in making

to increase. Alrciidy we have outgrown the cari'y-

promise to provide her as speedily as pos§ible. With

It is interesting to watch the return of business

from war to peace conditions. From peace to war. although the change was abrupt, the evolution of '- trade to normal war conditions came gradually. What

. _,' was a normal condition of war, become abnormal

when the war ended and we returned slowly to the normal conditions of peace. _ _ _

The following figures, given in the monthly

letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce,_illstrate

-the changes that have taken place. _

ted to $1,540/788,000 ; in 1918-19 they totalled $1,207,- 613 806; for the seven months ending October 31st

and allied products, largely used for war purposes,

from $41,518,091 for the month of October, 1918 to

52,208,839 for-october, 1919. _ _ Notwithstanding the great falling off in items

for war purposes the total export is maintaining and ian ' '

Will shortly increase its volume. We are now almost back to normal conditions, practically all our exports

being those that are indigenous to the country, being based on agriculture, forestry, mining and fisheries. With the resources at Canada’s command the

normal increase in our export trade will henceforth

'I increase rapidly. Europe is to be fed and clothediand

housed and Canada will have a large share in the work.
