Overview

Excerpt from Comparative Prices; Canada and United States, 1906 1911: Agricultural, Fisheries, Lumber and Mines Products The first question that presents itself in comparing prices in Canada and the United States is, what centres to choose on the two sides of the border. It is clear that markets well adapted to demonstrate the variation in domestic prices from year to year (and preferred as such in the Departmental reports of both countries above referred to) are not always suited for international comparisons. In the latter connection it is desirable, while giving quotations representative Of all sections of the country, to lay special stress on markets which are among the chief outlets 'for the industries concerned and which are fairly comparable in geographical situation and in population. The Scope of selection is somewhat limited by the lack of continuous quotations at certain otherwise desirable points; this is largely true of the Pacific Coast. It is believe'd, however, that for the commodities enumerated, Halifax, St. John, and Montreal may be fairly balanced with Boston and New York; Toronto with Buffalo and Detroit; and Winnipeg (and in some cases Toronto) with Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth. Obviously, the more perishable the commodity or the greater proportion that freight bears in its cost Of production, the more necessary is it to compare points nearly equal in geographical or freight-rate distance from the sources of production.
