This was an increase of $132,358,000, or almost 15 per cent. T h e value o f the export of gold bullion is not included in the state m ent and it is probabley when the increased export price o f gold during the past year com pared with the mint par value of $20.67 o f previous years is added, the total trade o f the Dom inion for 1933-34 w ill also exceed the aggregate of $1,166,100,000 in 1931-32. " This gratifying increase in t h e ' trade o f Canada has been very mark ed in recent months," said Hon. H. H. Stevens, minister o f trade and com m erce, in com m enting up on the statement. " It w ill be remembered that in April, May and June last, the first three months of the present fis cal year, trade was considerably be low that o f the sam e period of a year ago. " In A pril it was down 29 per cent.. May eight per cent., and in June three per cent. Exports were down 26 per cent, in April but had made increases in May and June. Imports continued to decline until August. In M arch our exports were up 57 per cent, and our im ports 44 per cent., the aggregate trade for the month in creasing by exactly 51 per cent., a truly rem arkable showing. " It is notew orthy," said Mr. Stev ens, " that the rapidity of the growth o f our trade in recent months has been greater than was anticipated, and that the estimates made o f the expected total from tim e to time during the past year have all been considerably under the actual result. " I need hardly say that the policies w hich have enabled Canada to main tain her high standing am ongst the great countries o f the world and to make such a substantial recovery as has occurred, have proven to be in the best interests o f the Dominion. ``It must tre remembered that thte or-- Auto Kills Bicyclist On His W ay to Work TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY A series o f graphic illustrations o f the progress o f construction under) way on the gigantic coast-to-coast highway will be shown from week to [ Watch fo r them.

Marie, declared in an address be fore the Young Men's Conservative Association last night that a pro vincial park w ou l' be established along the Lake Superior section of the trans-Canada highway. No sooner was one camp settled and the men engaged on hewing out the great roadway, than scouting parties and location parties were on the lookout fo r future camp sites. Camps had to, be established every four miles with the view o f placing as many camps as possible in locations which could be later used as permanent camp sites.

The poli cies entered upon by the United States early in 1930 in pursuance of their own destiny meant for this D ominion a loss from the peak year to the low year of $1,000 ,000,000 worth o f trade. " W e can have no com plaint to m ake of this but the fact remains that it occurred and it was particu larly disastrous to our agricultural producers. It meant that generations of producing and trading policy had gone by the board and either new m arkets had to be found or a com plete change in our trading policy established. T h e gold m arket of Can ada, by far the greatest market of all, was gone. " Therefore, the circum stance that in these days o f low prices this country has actually pushed its trade to considerably over $1,000 ,000,000 may b e taken as a sign of the trem endous virility and power of Canada in international markets and a splendid augury for the years that are to com e." concluded Mr. Stevens.

Studebaker Renorts the Best Month For Two Years in Sales. Walkerville, Ont-- Cheery evidence o f prosperity is found in a report re leased by the Studebaker Corporation o f Canada Limited. According to C. S. Fletcher, sa.es manager of the Studebaker Corpora tion of Canada, Limited, Studebaker shipments for the month of March just finished exceeded any single month's shipments for the previous 21 months. That this increase is a definite trend is further borne out by the fact that Studebaker entered April with more bonafide orders on hand than have been shipped for any of the past 22 months. April .is pre dicted to be the best month with one exception for the last four years. In the early part o f February shortly after che big metropolitan motor shows in Canada, and the States the Studebaker officials fore raw a huge shortage o f cars in the early spring. Plans were immediately laid or greatly increased production a jd large commitments were releas ed to all suppliers. The Studebaker plant has been going at top speed since that time but despite these ear ly preparations it has still failed to catch up with the large bank o f or ders now on file. Dr. F. N. G.
