The figures for Canada, (Chapter 21, p. 257 above), like those for 
Great Britain, have been compiled for me by Mr. A. G. Silverman. 
[n this case, however, the task was comparatively easy, because the 
essential data are to be found, as is indicated below, in Professor 
Viner’s book on Canada’s Balance of International Indebtedness, and 
in Mr. R. H. Coats’ invaluable report on Cost of Living. 
It will be observed that this table (p. 416) is somewhat more full 
than that for Great Britain, in that it contains figures indicating the 
course of wages and of wholesale prices.

NoTES ON THE TABLE 
! From a statement prepared for this book by W. A. Warne, Chief, External 
Trade Branch, Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Imports and Exports of Settlers’ 
Effects, given in that statement, have been deducted from Net Imports and Net 
Exports, respectively. 
? Constructed by Professor J. Viner from price quotations in Canadian Depart- 
ment of Labour, Reports on Wholesale Prices and in R. H. Coats’ Cost of Living 
Report, Vol. II, pp. 250 et seq. See Viner, Canada’s Balance of International 
indebtedness, 1900-1913, Cambridge, 1924, p. 230. 
3 R. H. Coats, Cost of Living Report, Vol. II, pp. 427 and 431. These are 
indices not of actual earnings, but of weekly rates of wages. 
¢ Export of Settlers’ Effects were not available prior to July, 1900. Conse- 
quently only the exports of Settlers’ Effects for the second half of the calendar vear 
1900 were deducted from the Exports of Canadian Produce for this year. This 
may introduce a very slight error in 1900 export figures.
