In regard to the trade with Canada the re
port says, although the published statements
of the bureau in regard to the whole foreign
trade of the country and particularly OF our
exports by water are nearly accurate, yet 1t
has hitherto been found impracticable ii not
impossible to obtain full returns of merchan-
disc exported to the Provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. The fact, long known and dcplored,
is the more to be regretted now when our
commercial relations with the Dominion Of
Canada excite much discussion and will soon
no doubt engage the serious attention OF the
Senate of the United States. The returns
from several Custom Houses on the Canadian
border are necessarily defective owing to the
want of legislation requiring persons export
ing merchandise by lane conveyance to file
manifcsts Of such merchandise and produce
with the Collector of the Customs of that dis
trict ON the border across which the articles
pass into the foreign country, as is now re
quired in the case of all exports TO foreign
countries in vessels.
From the detailed statements by Provinces
and ports as well as by articles and values,
prepared by the Commissioner Of Customs of
the Dominion, the bureau has been able 10
add TO the stated values Of articles embraced
in the returns of collectors of Customs of the
Districts Of Vermont and Niagara the Off
cial figures obtained from Canada, which
figures are published in the statement of do
nestle exports contained in the annual report
of the Bureau on Commerce and Navigation
for the fiscal year 1874 and also in the month
ly report for August, 1874
The total value of the articles omitted as
above stated amounts, mi the fiscal year 1874,
to $lO,2OOO59 Canadian or specie values, and
10 Sll ,424 06G in United States currency, com
putcd at the average premium on gold in that
year.
The export Of specie in the same period
amounts to S3,Gl9,56S, as appears by the
statements of the bureau, while the Canadian
imports show but S2,235,9S1; the former sum
is, however, believed to be correct, the figures

1t appears that during the year ending June

States to Belgium l1,3S4,G03 gallons Of re-
fined petroleum., valued at St,294,0 31 The
published TRADE statements OF Belgium for
the year 1871 Ga period of six months later
give the imports for consumption into that
country from all foreign countries as l3,GlS,
600 kjogrammcs of oil other than for table
use valued at 1880 OOOf or 4,2S9,000
gallons, valued at 81, 9G6 600 Omitted States

price per gallon, would appear 10 include a
considerable amount Of oil other than pctro
leum.
