A writer in the Quebec Chronicle complains that

David, and other:

the exports from Quebec to the Lower Provinces in
the three articles of pork, flour, and meal, have

diminished between 1883 and 1858 from $557,000 to
$241,000, and in other articles in proportion. He
argues that the diminution is owing to the want of
enterprise and old fogeyism of the Quebec merchants
to tl - - -

to high rates of iistirance ; the difficulty of obtain-
ng remittances from the heavy discount on the paper
currency of the Lower Provinces; and the superior
energy of the competing merchants of Montreal and
the United States. To this article the Montreal
Transcript replies :—The writer might have added to
these causes the natural course of trade which will
centre at the best general market. When Montreal,
Portland, or Boston ship a cargo of provisions
to the Lower Ports, it is generally in advance
or in return of a cargo of fish, sugar, &c.,
thence. The fact of Montreal, and not Quebec,

being the distributing point of the Canadian
imports from the Provinces, is the great reason of
Montreal being also the chief export port to them
also. Not only Quebec, but Montreal, and all Canada
also, have neglected too much the trade with the
Lower Provinces, which is mostly in the hands of
the Americans. The

difficulty, delay, and expense
of communication, have been the chief cause of
this neglect ; steam communication during 'the
ablished, may par-
Illy correct this. But a still greater barrier has
been the want of accurate personal knowledge of our
fellow-colonists of the Lower Provinces. It would

ie while of the Boards of Trade of Mon-
treal and Quebec to send a thoroughly qualified
delegate to these regions to explore the commercial
capabilities, and acquire the necessary information
for opening up a larger and more profitable business
than is now done between Canada, New Brunswick,
and, and New-
