Canada's Imports More From Us Than
From Mother Country.

Canadian import fgures indicate that
the manufactures and merchandise Of
the United states are popular with ths
people cf Canada. The statistical state
ment of Canadian commerce. just re-
ceived BY the Treasury Bureau Of sta
tistics. covering the commerce of the
seven months ending with January. 1903.
shows that Canada imported from the
United States during that time $751;
000,000 worth Of merchandise. against
S3Z.000oo0 worth from the United King
dom and S21, Geo 900 worsh from all other
parts Of the world. In other words, the
United States supplied IS per cent Of the
imports CT Canada in the seven months
ending with January last. the United
Kingdom supplied = per cent. and the
remaining portions OF the world Il per
cent
This large importation from the
United States by Canada is especially
interesting in view Of the fact that the
Canadian tariff permits the introduce
tion Of products from the United King
dom on payment Of enly two thirds the
duty which goods from other parts g
the world. including the United states.
must pay. This reduction in tarig on
goods from the United Kingdom as
against goods from other parts OF the
world, was begin some four years ego
and the reduction on British goods in
creased until it reached 50 ID per cent
Yet. in spite Of this fact. the United
states supplies TO Canada twice as much
merchandise as does the United King
dom.
