Prices usually advance when winter sets in but this year the increases are exception ul. it is noteworthy that at Montreal in the period from May'1st to Novem ber 30th, 1916, 2,173,299 boxes of cheese were received or 220,555 box- es more than in the corresponding period a year ago. At the'same time the price is 41 pei' cent higher than that of last year which averaged be tween 16 and 17% cents. For the cheese was $29,733,679, as against $21,961,466, and that of hacc-n and hams $21,233,493, as compared with $18,456,216. Taking into account all exports under the bead of provisions the increase in value was 46 per cent. The increased output of pro- visions al; very much higher prices is but one of the factors in the pre sent abnormal _prosperity of the Do minion. As has been already shown the exceptionally small grain crop has brought to the producers a return somewhat greater than that obtained for the unique and astonishing crop of 1915. NATIONAL SERVICE. For the moment there are no signs of an abatement-in the demand for the staple products of the Dominion. It remains for our_ people to organize their forces. somewhat depleted thro- ugh enlistment, so .as to maintain the volume of production. The National Service Committee contemplates the classification oi’ the industries of the Dominion as essential and non-essen- tial, so that there may be no diminu- tion in the production oi’ the' necessar- ies which constitute the great bulk of our exports at the present time. There is undoubtedly an unnecessary expe-ilditure of the limited supply oi labour at our disposal upon the pro- duction of many non-essential things, the demand for which is duo to the regrettable lack oi' appreciation oi the Empire's needs in the herculoan struggle now proceeding. The econo- my_ now to be desired means mc-re than tile' mere: setting asideof that -proportion of income not required ior, comfortable living, it means the cons versatiml of our industrial energy and man power so that they may be appli- ed to strengthen the pre'sure exert- erted on the enemy. Large as our exports have become, il; is quite noticsabe that our imports are also growing appreciably. andi include many non-essentials. As long as our trade returns disclose such facts it is obvious that however de- sirous some oi' the people ot' Canada may be of doing their iitmc-st for the Empires cause, their wishes are not being realized.
