THE TRADE OF CANADA
A MARKED INCREASE FOR THE
LAST FISCAL YEAR.
Shipments From the United States
Were Of Greater Value Than From
All Other Countries.

The marked Increase in the trade of the
dominion of Canada for the last fiscal year
forms the subject of an advance sheet issued
today by the bureau Of foreign commerce
of the Department Of State. According to
the statement made in this publication the
aggregate commerce of the country for the
year was $414. 431 .S31, against s379. ,773 in
the preceding year; increase, So. 1sS.05S
The increase was largely In the imports OF
goods entered for consumption. The i'm
ports for the two fiscal years were: In
1902, $202 791 1886: in 1901, s1S1 .225 1853: In
crease in 1902, $21 $50. Dog
The exports from Canada were: In 1902,
s211 $40 2s6: in 1901 s1es obs, 404; increase In
1902, 1851 .Ss2.
The value Of the imports from the United
States for 1902 was $120. 809, 956, as against
a value of 9,2l5, 1893 from Great Britain
and $50, 1856 ,s48 from all other countries.
The increase in importations from the
United States exceeded Sl0.O00.000 in value.
While, however, there was a general in
crease, there was marked falling off IN
imports of cereals from this country.
amounting to s., 1872 1853. This diminution
was due entirely to the falling Off In the
demand for American corn. which Is ex-
planned by the fact that Canada's own
crops were exceptionally good.
It Is stated that In cotton and its manu-
features the value OF the imports has
steadily increased for many years, and the
increase is maintained in 1902, being S1,474.-
OIL, and the total amounting to 1878, $40
OF this last amount, Great Britain supplied
$5.37s, 800 and the United States $7.653. 179.
Looking back over five years, 1t appears
that importations from Great Britain are
gradually approaching In value those from
the United States. apparently on account of
the preferential tariff
In the Importation OF iron and steel there
Is an increase Of over So. 600 coo, the ship
yaapts froau Great Britain having nearly
doubled The importations from that coun-
try were Sc ,395, g72 as against So 402 sos for
1901 The shipments of the metals from the
United States did rot show so large an In
crease, hit were still largely In excess,
amounting to sci 594 ,4Ss for 1902 as against
$23.Il0652 for 1901.
OF the exports there was an increase OF
81 600 600 IN the value OF horned cattle sent

of his colonel, and that it was his

with the prisoners, which they did,

Gov. HoIbrook's Tribute.
Editor of The Phoenix

Editor of The Phoenix
The sudden, wholly unexpected
death of Col. George w. Hooker was a
great shock to his many friends. He
had been i'll but few days. and our
people had no thought of possible
fatal termination of his illness. What
a cheerful, kindly man and good neigh
Dor the Colonel was! How full, also,
of public spirit, ever ready to take the
laboring oar in any and all public
affairs and movements deemed de-
sirable. The Colonel was particular
ly gifted as presiding officer at pub
lie assemblages. his ready wit and
pleasantries and his happy ways of
introducing the various speakers lend
ing charm to the whole occasion.
His labors for the yearly exhibitions
of the Valley Fair association were
of the highest order of merit, contri-
buting largely to their unrivalled sue
cess. Where shall we look for such
another genial, capable, public-spirit-
ed citizen to go ahead in public mat
ters as was Col. Hooker? The writ
er of this brief note has been deeply
impressed by the several sudden. un-
looked for deaths within the last few
years of talented citizens, in the full
meridian of manhood and usefulness,
ever ready to aid in all matters of in
terest to the town or to the general
public. F. HOLBROOK.

Col. George w. Hooker died sud
denly about 9.15 Wednesday evening
at his Main street home from an af-
fection of the heart.
The news of his death seemed in
credible to everybody in town. He
was out driving Tuesday, and, while
it was known that he had not been
in a normal condition for the last
two weeks, few, If any, of his friends
realized the gravity of his condition.
Two weeks ago Tuesday, while at
the Massasoit House in Springfield,
he suffered for the first time from a
weakness of the heart, having pre-
viously had no premonition of any
trouble of this kind. On reaching
home that day he was taken to his
house in a hack, and, on arriving
there, sustained a second attack which
necessitated the immediate attend
ance of a physician. He was con-
fined to his bed for several days, but
appeared to rally, was dressed and
about the house, and went out driv-
ing twice, the last time on Tuesday.
Wednesday morning, he stood up for
a long time while debating letters.
He ate a hearty dinner, but about 2
in the afternoon was seized with faint
ness while in his bathroom, and the
physician who was called Immediately
found his pulse barely moving. A
trained nurse was at once summoned
from Greenfield, arriving at $50.
During the afternoon. the .colonel's
heart resumed it's normal action, and
he seemed to be in his usual cheer
in bed at 7. talked and laughed with
Mrs. Hooker and their son. James,
pronounced his illness sporadic at
tack" and insisted that James go to
the Auditorium to attend the Repub-
lican rally.
About 8 O'clock he said that he
would go to the bathroom, but, on
being cautioned by Mrs. Hooker not
to overexert himself, he replied, 81
never felt better in my life" These
were among his last words except
those that he spoke to the physicians
while in great distress. The nurse
and Mrs. Hooker walked on each
side and at the door the nurse stepped
back while Mrs. Hooker stood near
the threshold with the door ajar.
She saw the colonel apparently grow
weak and about to fall, and rushed
in in time to catch him in her arms.
His condition was Immediately alarm
ing, and the nurse gave a hypoder-
mic injection to stimulate the hearts
action. DR.. Holton and the son,
James F. Hooker, were summoned
from the Auditorium. DR.. Bruce also
came Immediately, and DR.. Pratt ar
rived in a few moments. Col
Hooker recognized his son, but he
was in great distress, groaning and
writhing, and after a time became
unconscious and death took place

When Lieut.. Hooker "Disobeyed'
Orders.

After the battle of South Mountain,
in the fall of 1862, the colonel, then
Lieut.. Hooker was acting adjutant of
the Fourth Vermont regiment, and
was ordered by Col Stoughton to
take four companies of the Fourth
Vermont and attempt to flank and
capture a Confederate battery that
had been very annoying to the Union
troops. On his way they came upon
a Confederate regiment which had be-
come somewhat demoralized, and
whose commanding officer surren-
dered the regiment to Lieut.. Hooker
alone, who, being mounted, had got a
little way ahead of his men. On
his way back to the regiment
with the prisoners, he was met
by brigadier general and staff, com
manding some Pennsylvania troops
belonging to the sixth corps. The
general directed Lieut.. Hooker to
turn the prisoners over to him and

When Col. Hooker Was Wounded.

At the battle of Cold Harbor, June
3, 1864, two members of Gen. Stan
nard's staff were killed and three
wounded, among the latter being Col
Hooker, who had recklessly ridden a
white horse all day until ordered by
Gen. Stannard to dismount and take
an animal of less conspicuous color.
Shortly after making this change, the
colonel fell, struck by the five bullets
and so seriously injured that the
medical director declared it useless
to move him off the field, as he could
survive but short time. While
lying on a stretcher, waiting to be
transferred to the cars, Hooker was
recognized, despite his mangled con-
dition, by a party OF passing officers,
who, jumping from their horses,
anxiously inquired: Hooker, how are
you?" "All right, boys, three years
of service. and only just got a bene-
fit,' was the CHEEKY reply. in allusion
to the five wounds from which he was
suffering.

Real Estate Agents

There is a great difference in people
wanting to sell Real Estate. Some peo-
Pile will say to the agent: II think I
will SELL my prosperity. They
are undecided as to just what to do;
they simply mean that if they can get
their price they may SELL The other
class of people say: / want to sell my
property in the quickest possible time;
my price is but if you get an offer let
me know.
Here is some property that the owners
have said sell.
House No. Union street. This place is a
modern, up-to-date house, slated roof 9rooms,
finished in hardwood, all modern improve
ments, two-light windows and blinds, and just

first floor has four rooms, the second three,
with spacious bath room and nickle plated

is one of the best bargains in Brattleboro.

Love Ryan Fisk of Brattleboro. Mrs.
Hooker survives him, with one son,

the bright and witty side have made
him universal favorite. He had the

it more expeditiously than any other
presiding officer within the memory of
the present generation.
