the export of produce, and the import and
consumption of all the substantial and neces.
sary products Of civilization, are ms high, per
head, as in the best agricultural districts of the
United States.
There yet remains one route Of importation
to be noticed, viz: via Hudson's bay and Lake
Superior. Nearly one.half Of the imports at
Sault Ste. Marie are by this route II is i'm
possible to say what may yet be done in this
quarter. The distance from the shores of Su-
perior TO those Of Hudson's bay is no greater
than that between the Hudson river, at ALBANY.
and Lake Erie, at Buffalo; and the sea-route
to Britain is shorter this way than by the lakes
and Montreal, New York, or Boston. All the
supplies and exports Of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany are carried by sea and although the sea-
son of navigation is very limited, yet it en-
braces an important part Of the year.

The mode of keeping the provincial returns
does not do justice either to the exports or i'm
ports of Montreal. Imports landed here for
Toronto, Hamilton, and other inland ports, are
not entered, but pass up under frontier bond"
and are scattered over the inland ports. No
aggregate accounts Of these are published, and
their value can only be ascertained at inland
ports. The nominal value passed up under
these frontier bonds" as given at Montreal
for 1851, was 81 sos, 40. At Quebec, the value
of transit goods, both for foreign and domestic
export, is not ascertained.
The exports do not include produce lightered
over the bar in Lake ST. Peter, or the cargoes
Of foreign vessels which must clear outward
from Quebec. Fifty-three thousand barrels of
four shipped at Montreal, are therefore in
cluded in the exports from Quebec for 1851
The total value thus taken from Montreal for
1851 was $379,l32.
