Canada n Competltor


 Canada is becoming, to certain extent. a competitor of the United States as an ex- porter While this relates to comparatively few articles, it affects industries which have brought into the United States from abroad many million dollars during the past few years. A recently published state ment by the Dominion statistican, Hon. George Johnson, has just reached the trea- sury bureau of statistics. It shows that the exports of flour. butter. cheese, and wood since confederation, that is from June 30, 1868, to June S0 1898, amount to SS9f,OO OO0 While manufactures of wood form, or course. the largest item in this enormous sum cheese. In which Canada becomes a direct competitor of the United State, amounts to the surprisingly large total or s21S 241 2e2; butter to s5S, All 604 and flour, to $61 ,340, ,1S2.
 Commenting upon this growth in the ex- portation of these articles in which Canada coinpetes with the United States Statls- tician Johnson says:
 .0rhe deyelopment of the cheese export trade is marvellous We sent little over $500 O00 worth of cheese to Great Britain in 1868 and in 1898 we sent ST 522, ,6S1 worth. thus far surpassing the exjorts Of the United States, which last year, to the mother country were only $3,267 ,607. or the total exports of Canadian manufac- lures in 1898. cheese only formed per cent. in value. while in 1898 it formed over Sl per cent of the total exports of manufac- lures. The exports of manufactures or wood, as Is quite natural, occupy the hign- est place, but they have not increased rela- lively to the others as rapidly. In lS6s the exports of manufactures having wood as the raw material were 61.7 per cent of the whole, while in 1898 they were 40.3 per cent During the thirty years Great Britain has taken of our manufactures of wood over $25S 600 600 worth. while the United
