CANADIAN TRADE BOOM.
ONTARIO manufacturers say that the chief benefit from German and Austrian products being kept athome in not so much that they are barred from Canadian markets as that Canadian manufacturers arc now supplying the increased demand in other parts of the world. As an instance, manufacturers of patent leather report that since the outbreak of the war they are selling their goods in Australia, New Zealand, and England. Formerly this
business was practically all handled by German manufacturers. The manufacturers of drugs and chemicals are also enjoying a business boom by reason of the increased market for their products. Manufacturers of tapestries are replacing Austrian-made goods with Canadian products. Incandescent light bulbs, practically all of which were formerly imported from Austria, are now manufactured in Toronto, where practically all the bulbs used in Canada- arc made. Electric shades, opal lamp shades, etc., are also being made to supply Canadian demands, and the piano trade, always extensive in Ontario, is busier than ever.
