.Sales rose in seven provinces in January, led by Ontario. Ontario manufacturing sales increased 1.0% to $25.9 billion, the third consecutive monthly advance. Higher sales in the petroleum and coal industry (+10.4%) were responsible for half of the provincial increase. Sales were also up in the food (+2.0%), chemical (+2.2%) and fabricated metal industries (+2.6%). A 4.5% gain in the motor vehicleindustry failed to offset the 0.5% decline in the transportation equipment industry.
In Alberta, sales rose 2.7% to $5.7 billion, the third consecutive monthly increase. Gains were recorded in 14 of 21 industries, largely driven by an 8.6% increase in the petroleum and coal products industry and, to lesser extent, from gains in machinery and the chemical industries.
Sales in Quebec fell 1.5% to $12.6 billion, following two consecutive monthly gains. The decline was mostly attributable to lower production in the aerospace product and parts industry. These decreases were partly offset byhigher sales in the petroleum and coal, fabricated metal and chemical industries.
