Trade Pattern

EXPORT

Ottawn, Sept. 3.-The pattern of Canadian trade has changed considerably since before the war, with newsprint and other wood products re placing wheat and agricultural products as the country's chief exports, according to figures issued by the Trade Department.

At the same time, indications of Canada's growing importance as an industrial power, were shown by her increased purchases of iron and semi- manufactured goods, together with a steady in- crease in her exports of iron products.

"There is no doubt that our trade pattern has changed considerably during the past 10 years," a Trade Department official said.

"Newsprint became our prin- elpal export during the war years and as stayed at the top over since."
