The Trade Of Canada with the United
States-EXportS for the Year Ending
Sent. 30, 'GS.

IRON the Toronto blObO.l
We suhioin u carefully prepared state
ment Of the principal exports TO the United
States from this port for the present year,
exports from Port Hope and Cobourg are
also giyeu-the three ports being selected
MS having consular agents attached aud
having what has been mapped out by our
American friends as 'the district of Tor
onto" As far ~ il goes, the results shown
are complete. II Will be observed that
this year there have been no exports TO the
United States in several articles which
were sont there in 1867; aud this is partly
accounted for, as far as we can gather,
not from any falling of in tho eX-
ports generally, but iron the fact that
the traffic in q~uestion-with a good deal
not here iu~dicated-has sought Canadian
rather than American routes Of travel, 9th
err markets have probably been found this
year in the varying course of trade, 1t liz to
be hoped they have all boen better. This
year the total exports from Toronto 10 the
states reached about -, 1913. go, Ms against
~, 929. SIS for the same period of 1867
making an increase in the exports of 1865
of $2GS, Col. This year from Port Hope
tho total value Of the exports to the same
quarter il set down at 81, G27, 1890 and
from Cobourg, SITS, 37G, -mnkiDgtho value
of the total exports of the three ports foot
up TO 81, 1903, S2L
Classifying tho list of exports in hand,
we find it TO consist Of tho following arti-
cles. In grain the total shipments from
tho three ports reached about 3, 434, 500
bushels, representing n value of 80, $685.
9j5, or within SAY, 0l3 Of tho total exports
Barley, which, up to the present, has
been in most active demand at this point,
and which at one time touched the very
handsome figure of Sl.53 per bushel, con-
stitute the largest export in tho years
operations, and the figaro II commanded
this year, as compared with last, was such
that, though the quantity fell short l,033,-
1908 bushels, the value represented only
shows n decline of 1898, 1926. In 1867,
., 254, 400 bushels left this port for the
states, This year but ! ,22l,15 8 bushels,
which arc valued at 81, 15i, 800.
Wheat, our next heaviest export, also
shows a falling of in quantity aud value
this year. There were 49S, 17S bushels
sent over, against S72, 151in lsG7-sAowing
a falling of in quantity Of 373, 973 bushels
representing the sun Of 5000, Cos.
OF cattle and horses, it appears there
were exported about ISIS, valued at S1l7,-
O9G. Hogs TO the number of 40 went the
same road, and are set down as being worth
50, 900.
AS far as Toronto is concerned, this
years business shows n falling of in the
lumber sent to the states of II, S4l 95i feet,
worth in tho neighborhood of Sl79, 900,
The total lumber export for the three
places for which these calculations are
made reaches 90, i4S, lO7 feet, valued at ST.
JO7, 03i. The decline in this export, as
above mentioned, was anticipated this
spring, owing to n depression in the busi-
ness on the other side, and the inability of
dealers to hold over stocks till a more fa.
yorable period.
The total amount of wool sent away is
set down ut 440, 927 pounds for the
present year, as against 233, O56 in 1867
This evidences a decline in quantity Of
POI, 800 pounds, but the difference in the
valuation Tor the two periods is only
Sl,722,
In 1867 thore were exports in iron ore,
rags, oats, hams, pelts, refined oil, safes,
and shuubbery, mono Of which appear to
have Travelled the same road this year.
They represent "a unit0d value of nearly
500, 600. The sales We're ten in number,
and found their way TO our friends in the
lower provinces, by tho way of Portland,
we sappose, Over $40, 900 worth of the
hams mentioned, were sent through to
England, IN bond.
