A consid- erable number of new factories have been buih. in Canada this season, the cheese from which will, to some extent, swell the aggregate of the present crop, but if the quality is all right it will not disturb the market. If the quality of our goods can he kept up a. liberal export trade will be likely to continue. There is no danger of clogging the market with good cheese. Good quality increases demand by increasing con- sumption, and demand sustains prices. It is the poor stnfi' that blocks up trade, de- presses prices by stopping consumption . bo far there has been less complaint of poor cheese this year than usual. TIMBER LIMITS, REAL ESTATE.
