THE TRADE OF CANADA,

Imports from and Exports TO the United states
The Montreal Gazette gives some interesting
facts in relation to the business of the Domi-
Mon, from the report of the Commissioner of
Customs.
There are some features in it," it says,
(which are especially worthy of note. Our
trade has been steadily augmenting in the direc-
tion of exports to the United States. The
balance of trade during the year was in favor of
Canada by something over eight millions of dol
lars; our imports amounting to S24, 72S, 1866 and
our exports to $32 9S4, 652. The chief article of
export was sawn lumber, amounting in value to
81 064 044. The value of horned cattle ex-
ported was 81, 427, $3.50.
Even The poultry yard supplied its quota to
swell the exports, no less than ], ,430, 756 dozen
of eggs having been sent across the lines. The
only other item that we propose mentioning is
fire wood, for which the Americans paid the
farmers of Ontario the respectable sum of
$419.6l6.
'The maritime province exports to the United
States, though not SO large, are still considera
BILE. Nova Scotia sent in coal to the value of
$39S, 621 and. salted salmon to the value of
$471 ,004; while of the products of her forests
che contributed, to swell the value of exports
to the United States sawn lumber to the value
of $16l, ,076 and irewood to the value of $97 1885,
And New Brunswisk, exporting nearly million
more in the aggregate than her sister maritime
province, has no one special article reaching in
value come of those of Nova Scotia. She sent
fish salted, wet, to the value of $l14, 1927;
$194, 1856 worth of sawn lumber, and laths to
the value of $92 1886. 1t will be seen from these
figures that all the provinces contributed
I towards this gratifying increase in our export

4 ent articles of export given by US show how de-
pendent the Americans are upon Canadians for
4 many articles of our production. That requir-
4 ing Them as they do, so much that even the
enormous duties form scarcely a perceptible le
barrier to their importation, they should still
4 retain those duties, furnishes most extraordi-
i nary instance of national blindness. To Cana
diahs it would undoubtedly be gratifying for
other reasons than purely commercial ones

q tions betw cen the two countries but so long as
they find their export trade to the States thus
a steadily increasing, they afford TO wait with
considerable composure until our neghbors are

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Government OaIcer Boiled to Death.


The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday says:-A
chronicler of daily events is seldom called upon
to inform the public of a more terrible death
than yesterday Defell Captain Thomas j. Barry,
q worthy Government storekeeper, at the dis
tillery of Fleischman & Co., near SedamsVille.
How the heart-rendng accident occurred is
now conjecture; possibly il will always remain
so. After dinner he was seen sitting by an open
window of the distilleTy, reading. Below him,
on the outside of this apartment, was an open
tub, containing the worm. Frequently the
water contained in this vessel became boiling
not from the heated vapor within. 1t was so
yesterday. Later in the afternoon Captain
Barry was needed in the line of his duty as
storekeeper, and was sought aoont the premises.
Not being found, a messenger was sent to Sc
damsville, with no more success. This AVA
kened apprehension, and more careful search
about the dstillery was made. At last the hat
of tie unfortunate man was discovered near the
tub, and the terrible thought came flashing into
the mind that the storekeeper might be in this
vessel With fears for the worst the contents
of the tub were examined.
There the body of the officer was found lite
rally boiled. Whether as he sat he was sud
denly seized with fainting 1T, or had fallen
asleep and tumbled in, or had fallen in unawares
while looking into the vessel, is left entirely To
conjecture.

HAPPY FELIX ROGERS.
He Draws n Prize of twenty Thousand
Dollars.

He Draws n fFNo twenty
Dollars
No little mystery seems to enshroud the
"Jersey farmer" who drew the Hamilton Opera
House the other day. There are some persons
malignant enough to doubt the very existence of
any New Jersey farmer sufficiently specula-
tive and careless enough of his five dollars to
invest it in the lottery. At any rate there is
reason to believe that the pinched varlet
"Greppo," who figures largely in the Black
Crook has suddenly jumped into the possession
of $4,000. Now "Greppo," ia broad daylight,
is a slender, hollow-cheek gentleman, wearing
spectacles, and more like Methodist parson
than a low comedian. Felix has to complain
that except for this last stroke of fortune, his
name has been a misnomer But for the last
two days Felix has been lioniZed to death. Men
from Booth 8 and Wallack's and the Fifth Avenue
and every other theatre in town flock in excited
crowds to his modest residence. They wayay
him as his spectacles beam on their way to
Niblo's. They hug him in the Metropolitan bar
room. They VOW he is the sprightliest gentle
man who ever condescended to gild the annals
of the stage with the lustre of his fame. Rock
wood is in treaty with him for his photographs;
John Vincent has asked him to dinner; Harry
Palmer has promised to keep him going in
lottery tickets if he will only on his part, main
tain the credit of the Black Crook by winning;
the property has refrained from cursing
him. Felix is the lion of the hour, and Is glee-
fully awaiting his 5000 check, in order to
loan about $12,000 10 expectant friends and
eympathiZers.-N. Y. Leader.
