The Exports to the DOmin-
 ion the Last Year.
BROKE ALL THE RECORDS
In the Volume of Business and There Was Only One Year That Showed a Greater Increase Over the PTsCsd- ing Year.

Washington. D. C.. July S.-Exports from the United States to Canada In the fiscal year just ended show a larger total than in any preceding year. Eleven months figures just completed by the bureau of statistics Of the de- partment of commerce show that the increase in exports 10 British North America" has been F million dollars in the II months of 1908 compared with the corresponding months of the pre- ceding year. and indicate ,nat the in crease for the entire fiscal year wiu be something more than I2 million dol lars. This is the largest increase than in any year in the history of our com merce with Canada. except ISSS. when the increase was slightly greater than that of the last fiscal year.
 Under the term British North Am erica" the bureau of statistics groups Quebec. Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest Territory. Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Prince Eward Island. Newfoundland and Labrador and Brit ish Columbia. By far the most inn portant of these groups. commercially. is Quebec. Ontario. etc, the exports from the United States 10 which form s per cent of the total exports to Brit ish North America; and 1t is in the ez- ports to those provinces that the chief growth has occurred. During the n months ending with May the total value of exports to Quebec. Ontario. etc. was 9S million dollars. against S- millions in the corresponding months of the preceding year; to Nova Scotia. etc. the total was millions. against 51s millions in the II months 0f lsee. | fn iSl,
 pared with millions in the eOrrespond- ing months of the preceding year. and to Newfoundland and Labrador. -1 millions. against .. little less than % millions in the same months of lsae. | The total exports to British North America rom the United States Tor the full fiscal year seem likely I0 be about I25 millions. against iI2 miliious | in 1902. le7 millions in 1901. and % mil l lions in 1900.
 Not only has the growth in exports | from the United States to Canada been greater in the year just ended than i in any preceding year with a single eN- | ception. but that growth has been | grea ter than to any other country eN- | cept Germany. To Germany the in- crease in the II months Of lS03 for
 which figures are now available was .l millions; to Mexico the increase was . millions. to Argentina lls millions. Co all of South America 2ls millions. and
 to all of Africa millions Thus the actual increase in our expOrtatiOns tO Canada in the fiscal year just ended | will be greater than to any other country except Germany
 Meantime the imports into the Unit ed States from Canada have grown.
 but not with equal rapidity- The total imports for the year just ended win
 amount to about 55 million dollars. against a total of 4S millions imported from British North America in the flS-
 cal year 1902. Comparing 1906 with
 1893. the growth will amount to abouJ
 T. million dollars. the total imports
 from British North America for lSss
 having been about SS million dollars.
 while the growth in our exports To Brit ish North America during that sam
 period will be about - millions. Thus
 the total exports to British North Am
 erica from the United States are a lit-
 tie more than double the imports into
 the United States from that section.
 and the growth in exports between iSSS
 and 1909 has been twice as great as the
 growth in imports
