The increase in the exports of paper, wood for pulp and pulp for the
twelve months ending June last is 23.8 per cent. To a considerable
extent this is due to advancing prices. It will be noticed that the
export of wood pulp during the period of the twelve months in question
has declined slightly. There is more wood available at the present time
than a few months ago. Northern Ontario points report the most acute
shortage, although the situation there has improved somewhat.
