Prince Rupert wholesalers and retailers alike present a pre-Christmas picture in' which I practically all types of seasonal merchandise, from table delica cies to gifts of apparel will be In much shorter supply than in previous years. Only In children's toys Is the prospect any way bright. One retailer of these articles said that they are available In quantity about equal to last year and in .perhaps a little broader variety. Children's toys In wood, plastic and even metal have come through and will brighten his shop counters. In the matter of fancy foods and candies, the grim situation In ravaged Europe goes a long way toward explaining why ingredients are not available for their manufacture. Wholesalers and retailers are determined to distribute equitably the small quantities of these delicacies 'that arc made available. Definitely lacking will be boxed chocolates and even bulk candy. However, walnuts, almonds, and 'filberts will be there, but peanuts will be lacking. American domestic demand for peanuts, coupled with prices which are above those which the Canadian Export Prices Board is willing to pay, will ban them from Canadian markets. Wholesalers have reason to believe that flic first Jap oranges to reach Canadian markets since before the war will put In an appearance this year. War time Christmas oranges- came from Australia.
