This means that ex- ports of flour from the United State! in Many were probably only about 730,- 000 barrels, wheres" exports of flour made from Canndiun wheat were 1,- l 300,000 barrels. For half a century the US. has held a dominating position in the inter- national Bour trede. This position was gradually strengthened up to the year 1908, in which year the Republic contributed 72 per cent. of the world’a flour exports. Since 1904, with the exception of the war years, the United Stetea percentage of total flour ex- Porta haa been tending to decrease, but it baa remained continuously at the head of the list of exportera. Now the development of the Canadian mill- ing industry and aggressiveness in the past in developing foreien marketa, taken in combination with various ssitptiileant developments under way at Lthe present time, would seem to pre- tsage a aupplanting of the Republic by tthe Dominion, and a supremacy for aCunajda in this regard In the not far distant future. l u POST-WAR DEVELOPMENT. 1 Canada's development " a country to! wheat exports belongs strictly to ite post-war era, belonging, in fart, to the most recent years of this era. l Exports of flour from Canada in 1914 itunounted to only 4,832,183 barrels [valued at $20,581,079, of which the i United Kingdom took 2.794.657 barrel, lworth $11,984,842, the United States [19,436 barrels worth $85,745. and the iBritish West Indies 585,655 barrels (worth, $2,733,039.
