OTTAWA. Sept. ZL-Following the establishment oi a new high re- cord for mineral production of Canada in 1927 when the total out- put irom all the mining industries reached a value of IBQJBQBDG. says a report issued today by the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics. the fact that many of the principal commo- dities reached higher totals in thc ﬁrst half of 1928 than were record- ed in the ﬁrst halt oi 1927. points to a continuance of prosperity in the mining Industry and forecasts the possibility oi new records being established when the totals for the present calendar year are compiled.

For the ﬁrst hall of the current year metals and non-metals prod- uced lrom Canadian ores reached a value of 81055821571 as compared

ending June 30. i921.

tinum was greater this year last. ' Coal production in the non-metal ﬁeld. amounted to 6.910.500 short tons having a value of $28,948,045 as compared with 8.424.631 tons. worth $29.605.8l8 in the first sh months oi last year. Leas coal was

The Guardian regrets to report that the tour of tho Empire Parlia-

ranged that the visit of the distin- guished overseas delegates to this Province will fall on Sunday, Sept. 30th. Thoy will arrive here by spo- cial tran at 4 o'clock Sunday morn- ng and will leave at midnight for the mainland.

Naturally it ls impossible for Ithe g5

Provincial Government oﬂlcially to receive and entertain the visitors on Sunday. Premier Saunders informs the Guardian that he wrote to tho chairman of the party. intimating that the Government would be de- lighted to have the members oi’ the Association remain over (or mother day. when a public reception. fol- lowed by a luncheon and a carc- fully arranged programme could be prepared so as to give tho visitors every opportunity oi seeing Prince Edward Island. its agricultural and ‘ ’ strlal activities, and the advan-

It has been suggested that a mo- ior car trip in the morning. follow- ed by an informal luncheon, with a sail on the Eillsborc River Sunday afternoon, might yet be arranged.

of Address by Hon. W. M. Lea.

"The Canadian producer must remember that when his goods arc sent to Great Britain they will be sold in competition with products {rem all over the world." stated Hon. W. M. Lea. Minister of Agri- culture. ln an address last evening at Freetown Hall on the subject o! his recent visit to Great Britain and Denmark. “They will be sold for exactly what they are worth on grade. The requirements are dim- cult. but we must bear in mind yva that those who capture “Mylar. and supply it will be lﬁtﬂnl a premium on their goods for that very reason."

Mr. Lea explained the purpose oi

the trip. which was to enable an organized group oi farmers and producers from the dlﬂerent pal-is oi Canada. with representatives from the agricultural departments of each Provincial Government. to visit Great Britain and Denmark with B ‘view to studying, first. the- British lmarket and the different methods or preparing the products best suit- ed to that market. and. secondly. to investigate the production and mar- keting methods of our chief com- petitors. the Danes. who have sec- ured such a foot-hold for their products in Great Britain.

The itinerary had been carefully plopped by Mr. whear. oi the Can- adian National Railways. who hild been over the entire route several. times. Hearty co-operatlon was re- celved from the chiel whnlesalelnd retail business organizations in the places visited. Not. only were tho delegates "shown over the varhus industrial plants but in every- in- stance literature had been prepar- ed to take along, outlining the business being done-

The British Market

Mr. Lea in his address described speciﬁcally the requirements o! the British market and its trend at the present time. He stressed the folly of sending anything to that market but what ls demanded by the Brit- ish people themselves. The British market is the greatest market in the world to take care of our sur- plus products.

There are 40,000,000 consumers. and this vast market will absorb. on the day of its arrival. practically everything we can send over, paying cash prices. But we must be eon- tent to take their valuation. and there is no market in the world

_ that has such extreme ﬂuctuations.

The Britlshers will pay a very high price for what they want. but they will pay only poor prices for some- thing which may be lust as good from our standpoint. but which is not exactly according to their re- qulrements.

As an instance Mr. Lea pointed out that whereas Canadian and Danish bacon retailcd in the Hay- market stores at 36 cents a pound. the native British cured bacon. which is cured by a drying process and ls suited to the particular
