Mexican exâ€" gorts to Canada, on the other and, have fallen off in some months. Raw cotton has been a predominant export item to Canâ€" ada, largely accounting for the adverse trade balance that Canâ€" ada has with Mexico. However, practically no exports of this commodity took place in the first five months of this year. The 1951 cotton crog&:)vill substantially less than the 1 crop, and, therefore, } it,is expected that much smaller quantities of raw cotton will be: a;ailable for shipment to Canâ€" ada. . The extensive defence program whder way in Canada has cut into the potential: export trade to Mexico.
