40. 667 bales, about 1000 bales more
than the same period last year.

"The production OF pig-iron is shown
by a recent census bulletin to have been
1853 per cent. greater in 1890 than in
1880, ard the production of steel 300 pei
cent. greater. Mining in coal has had nc

"The development Of American lines y
to encourage the establishment OF
first-class steam communication between
our ports and ports OF such nations as

The President also speaks OF the i'm.
portance of our trade with Australia and
says that "if we are not willing to see
this important steamship line withdrawn
or continued with Vancouver substituted
for San Francisco as the American termi
nal, Congress should put it in the power
