Total foreign for the first 11 months amounted to 763.418.948 board feet. For the whole of 1933 foreign business was 633.071.894 feet.

When waterbome "domestic' business is added to foreign the total will be well over the 850 million, probably nearer 870 million. LOG SCALE INCREASED Domestic business, to the Atlantic coast and California, has amounted to 28.402.842 feet for the 11 months, making a total waterborne business of 791.821,790 feet for the period, compared with a total of 662,599,920 feet in the 12 months of 1933. Total log scale of the province is expected to show an increase of 400 million feet in spite of the setback due to the loggers' strike last spring. The total is expected to be about 2 billion feet The lumber industry of British Columbia is finishing the year with manufacturers and exporters alike well satisfied with the improvement in business generally and particularly with the increase in foreign markets outside the United States. Expectations for 1935 are decidedly optimistic.

Business with the t'nited Kingdom, which is roaghly 50 pjr cent of an "foreign" business, is expected to remain firm and probably to increase. Greatest hopes are set on the domestic market, in which there is a great pent-up demand awaiting only return of purchasing power, especially on the prairies. RECOVER S.

The Pacific Coast shows the smallest change of all, about l'a degrees. Records here show 1880 and 1884 were the coldest years with 1893 and 1916 coming near the low mark, and 1926 being the warmest Fort St. James, In the northern Interior, shows a change o( about three degrees in the past 40 years.

These figures seem to indicate the warm and cold years come in cycles with the cold years around 1875 to 1890 and the warm years between 1926 and 1931. WHAT CAUSES THAT? Two important questions to be answered in the future will be, what is causing this peculiar change in our climate and how long will it continue? Mr. Denison can answer the first question as far as British Columbia is concerned. "It is ev'dent that in recent years the North Pacific Ocean storms have been more severe and widespread, and have caused unusual ocean currents from the wanner southern latitudes. These in conjunction with mild weather prevailing, in these vast ocean storms have caused milder weather on this coast," he stated.

Bj Canadian Preu VICTORIA, Dec. 29. Although the Pacific coast Is experiencing some of the coldest weather it has had for some time, P. Napier Denison, director of the Dominion Meteorological Observatory here, said today the climate of British Columbia and of the whole Dominion has been gradually turning milder for the past 50 years or more. Winnipeg can boast of the greatest change in average temperature, said Mr.

Denison, with an improvement of six degrees, 1883 being the coldest year on record daring the last 53 years and 1931 the warmest. Records for Toronto and Montreal show these cities have experienced a gradual rise of about four degrees. Montreal's record cold year was 1875 and 1931 was the warmest. THREE DEGREES WARMER Alberta and the Maritime Provinces are tied In third place, both being about three degrees warmer.
