Washington, April 12.-Canadian inn port figures indicate that the manu- facturcs and merchandise of the Uni
 ted States are popular with the people of Canada. The statistical statement of Canadian commerce, covering the commerce of the seven mcnths ending with January, 1903, shows that Canada imported from the United States dur ing that time $67,009,0 GOO worth of mer- chandise, against S32 GOO, ,000 worth from the United Kingdom and s21 100000 worth from all other parts of the world
 In other words, the United States sup
 piled 56 per cent of the imports of Can ada in the seven months ending with January last, the United Kingdom sup
 piled 2 per cent, and the remaining portions of the world II per cent.
 This large importation from the Uni ted States by Canada is especially in teresting in view of the fact that the
 Canadian tariff permits Introduction of products from the United Kingdom
 on payment of only two- thirds the duty which goods from other parts O; the world including the United States.
 must pay. This reduction in tariff on goods from the United Kingdom as against goods from ether parts of the world was begun some four years ago and the reelection on British goods in creased until it reached 8 Is Der cent Yet, in spite of this fact. the United States supplies to Canada twice as much merchandise as docs tke United
 Kingdom. In a large proportion of articles or cIGsscs of articles imported | into Canada, the United States sup
 plies larger share than does the Uni ted Kingdom. In a list of thirty six
 principal impCrtations into Canada, 1 twenty-six show larger impOrtati9n3 from the United States than from tha United Kingdom. and ten show larger | importations from the United Kingdom
 than from the United States. The ten
