Release taken from Statistics Canada
Canadian wholesale sales edged down slightly in October, leading the industry to its first back-to-back monthly declines in two years. Lower sales of automotive products were responsible for most of October's decrease.

Small declines in sales were also registered by wholesalers of building materials, "other products" and food, beverage and tobacco products.
