Store shelves are a, mouth-wat- ering delight with imports from all parts of the world and Canad- ian delicacies to tempt buyers.

With the Government's new pol- icy of restriction of imports to help the national economy, this may be the last year for some time for such an array. The pres- ent supplies were .in Canadian warehouses before the restrictions were announced.

Prices are‘iowest in the Mari- times. where they remain at much the same level as last year, and are highest in British Columbia. a Canadian Press survey showed to- day.
