What are the facts? What is the Canada in this regard in the not far
truth? What principle is involved? distant future.
What law explains the phenomenon? A POST-WAR DEVELOPMENT.
These are the questions our scieritific
s Canada's development as a country
of wheat exports belongs strictly to
the post-war era, belonging, in fact,
to the most recent years of this era.
Exports of flour from Canada in 1914
amonnted to only 4,882,183 barrels
valued' at $20,581,079, of which the
United Kingdom took 2,794,657 barrel:,
worth $11,984,842, the United States
19,486 barrels worth $85,745, and the
British West Indies 585,655 barrels
ave,rth $2,733,039. • In the last fiscal -
year the exports of flour from Canada -
totalled 11,714,929 barrels worth $62,-
783,118, having increased to this von
time from 7,414,282 barrels worth $53 -
478,150 in 1922. •
Canadian flour at the present time
is going to practically every country
of the world. The United Kingdom is
the most voluminous purchaser, hav-
ing accounted in the past year for 4,-
234,084 barrels of the total exports,
whilst 221,641 barrels went to the Un-
ited States, or only about one-third as
much as in the previous year. The
outstanding features of the year's
trade, which continue to .have eignifi-
eance, were the trade with Gernrany
and with the countries of the Orient.
Germany's imports of Canadian flour
last year amounted to 10,313,280 bar-
rels, whereas in the previous year they
were only 3,085,409 barrels, and in
1922, 319,232 barrels. China, which
this year has jumped to the second on
the list of buyers of Canadian flour,
last year imported 2,491,066 barrels
against 1,382,094 barrels in the pre-
vious year and 63,992 in 1922. Japan
increased its Canadian flour imports.
from 47,619 barrels in 1922 to 111,965
in 1923. Hong Kong in the same per-
iod Mei:eased its imports from 50,783
barrels to 371,842 barrels.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE nunusrav.
There are about 1,250 mills in Can-
ada at the present time engaged in the
manufacture of flour, with an estimat-
ed capacity of 40,000,000 barrels of
flour per annum. The domestic con-
sumption is less than 10,000,000 bar-
rels per annum, which leaves an ex-
portable surplus with the mills run-
ning all year at full capacity of nearly
three times what was actually export-
ell-4ast year. The entry of new inter-
ests -into the field, notably in Western
Canada, is calculated to yet further
enhance the importance of the Mina
milling industry, which, with the gen-
eral Savor Canadian flour has found
all over the world coupled with an ag-
gressive trade penetration, should yet
further swel..,1,..*th_e volume of Canadian
