CANADIAN TRADE.
It's Comp,tst,on with the Unitsd States
In Enrelyn Mark 1t. Pointed Out.

In Fnrei-n Market. Pointed Out.
Washington. Aug. 1.-THE extent OF
competition of Canada with the United
States in foreign markets Is pointed out
in a bulletin to be issued by the secre-
tary of agriculture in few days. the
bulletin is the fourth Of the worlds
market series In course Of publication
by the department, and embodies the re-
ports of thirty of our cOnsuls In the do
minion. 1t shows that the total exports
of Canada increased from $S9, 100000 i'll
1888 to $11S,WO,O0O in 1894, or 81 per
cent; the imports from $1O9.UO,WO 10
$123. 100000, OF 13 per cent, and the
total trade was from $l9S,OOO.OOO TO
$241 100000 or q per cent. during the
same period. The largest proportional
increase was in 1892, when the value OF
the total trade exceeded that Of the pre-
ceding year about II per cent. During
the years 1883 to 1891, inclusive. the
trade of Canada with the United States
exceeded that OF any other country, but
Britain and Ireland has taken first rank
with the United States second.
An important fact is that large
share of the agricultural products goin.
abroad from Canadian seaports are ce-
reals and flour in transit from the Unit
ed States. OF $27,OOO.O00 of such
products shipped last year, $9,OOo,on
was American merchandise.
OF late years increased attention has
been given by the government of Can
ada to dairy interests, encouraging the
dairy associations throughout the coun-
try and passing strict sanitary laws reg
ulating the manufacture of cheese and
butter. No adulterations can be used,
and the Importation. manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine and other similar
substances is prohibited.
Though the quantity of butter export
ed decreased from l0,50O.00O pounds in
1868 to 100000 in 1894, nearly fifty
per cent. the value declined from ST.
100000 to $1,1OO.OOO. This indicates
Improvement In the quality of butter ex-
ported. The export Of cheese has in-
creased notably. While In 1868 1t was
6,141,57O pounds. valued at $G2O,J43, in
1894 1t rose to the large figure of 154,-
779, ,4SO pounds. valued at $15,4SS, 19l.
The statistics of the fishing industry and
forest products show that the value of
the former in 1894, was over $50, ,OOO,0O
and the latter over $4,000. 600. In wood
pulp in 1894 the United States alone has
imported from the Dominion. $360.O1O
