The trade returns with Great Britain continue to show substantial growth in export and import. The imperial trade returns for the first two months of this year show the fol- lowing among other increascs over the ‘similiar period of last year :â€"wheat $560,000; fish $260,000; bacon ‘ $240,000; cattle $190,000; cheese $135,000; oats $125,000; lumber $125,000; hams $55,000; eggs $30,- 000; wheat flour $145,000; pease $15,000; or a total increase for the two months in the value of goods purchased by Great Britain from Canada of over a million and three. "quarters. which is at the rate of $10,- 000,000 in the full twelve months, even it the improvement remains stationary which it is not at all like- Ily to do. Nor is the improvement in 'one direction only.

And yet some politicians would have the country believe that the Govern» .ment’s trade policy is detrimental to “the development of commercial inter- course between Canada and the Old Land.
