From the Toronto Globe
Wesubioin carefully prepared state
ment of the principal exports to the United
States from this port for tine present year,
as compared with 1867. Statements OF the
exports from Port Hope and Cobourg are
also given--th three ports being selected
as having consular agents attached and
having what has been mapped out by our
American friends as "the district of Tor
onto" As far as it goes, the results shown
are complete. It will be observed that
this wear there have been no exports to the
United States in several articles which
were sent there in 1867; and this is partly
accounted for, as far as we can gather,
not from any falling off in the ex-
ports generally, but from the fact that
the traffic ia question: good deal
not here indicated-has sought Canadian
rather than American routes of travel. 9th
er markets have probably been found this
year in the varying course of trade, it is to
be hoped they have all been better. This
year the total exports from Toronto to the
states reached about 50, los, ,279, as against
81, 1929, 5S8 for the same period of 1867
making an increase in the exports of 1868
of 1888, ,691. This year from Port Hope
the total value Of the exports to the same
quarter is set down at S1,627, 16901; and
from Cobourg, $479, 37G, --nakingth value
of the total exports of the three ports foot
up to S4,903,S24.
Classifying the list of exports in hand,
we find it to consist of the following arti-
cles: In grain the total shipments from
the three ports reached about 2, ,434, 529
bushels, representing q value OF 81, $685.
955, or within SAT-, 049 of the 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 $1.53 per bushel, con-
stitute the largest exportln the years
operations, and the figure it commanded
this year, as compared with last, was such
that, though the quantity fell short 1,O33,-
9OS bushels, the value represented only
shows decline Of $293,425. In 1867,
2, ,254, ,463 bushels left this port for the
states. This year but 1921, 1855 bushels,
which arc valued at 81, 154,300.
Wheat, our next heaviest export, also
shows falling off in quantity aud value
this year. There were 1887 bushels
sent over, against 872, 151in 1S67-showing
falling off in quantity Of 373, 973 bushels
representing the sum Of 5000, 6O8.
OF cattle and horses, it appears there
were exported about 1878, valued at Silt,
096. Hogs to the number of 40 went the
same road, and are set DOWNS being worth
50, 000
As far as Toronto is concerned, this
years business shows a falling off in the
lumber sent to the states of II, ,841, +, 954 feet,
worth in the neighborhood of $173,000
The total lumber export for the three
places for which these calculations are
made reaches Sc, AS, 107 feet, valued at 81,
307, ,034. The decline in this export, as
above mentioned, was anticipated this
spring, owing to depression in the busi-
ness on the other side, and the inability OF
dealers to hold over stocks till more ia
yorable period.
The total amount of wool sent away ia
set down at 440927 pounds for the
present year, as against 233, ,05S in 1867
This evidences q decline in quantity OF
207, 800 pounds but the difference in the
valuation for the two periods is only
81, 1,722.
In 1867 there were exports in iron. ore,
rags, oats, hams, pelts, refined oil, safes,
and shrubbery, none of which appear to
have travelled the same road this year.
They represent united value Of nearly
$4,000 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 $4,000 worth of the
hams mentioned, were sent through tc
England, in bond.
