LARGE TRADE WITH CANADA

Commerce between the United States
and Canada was larger for the fiscal
year just ended than any preceding
year This is true both as to imports
and exports, The figures of the years
eommerce, presented by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor through
its Bureau OF Statistics, show that the
| imports from Canada amounted to $54,-
$780, 40, and the exports to Canada S12S,-
Az, 4l6. In this term is included Brit
ish Columbia, Quebec, Ontario, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick. OF the i'm
ports Of the year. IS million dollars,
speaking in round terms, were from
Quebec and Ontario, 10 millions from
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and
6 millions from British Columbia. OF
the exports 10 million dollars were to
Quebec and Ontario. millions to New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia and mil
lions to British Columbia.
Both in imports and exports, the total
of the years commerce with Canada
was larger than in any preceding year.
The figures of growth in the exports
from the United States to Canada are
especially interesting in view of the
fact that the Canadian tariff has given
to the products and manufactures of
the United Kingdom and most of her
colonies a reduction of PIP per cent
IN the tariff rates since April, 1884,. %
per cent from August, 1898 to July l,
1900. and since that date, a reduction
OF 80 per cent Yet, it was during that
period that the most rapid growth in
the exports from the United States to
Canada occurred. In the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1897, the exports from
the United States to Canada were 65
million dollars, yet they have increased |
to 123 million dollars in 1903 This is
an increase of 80 per cent. while the
in the total exports meantime
has been about 10 per cent.
The Canadian tariff which gave lower
rates to the products of Great Britain !
and her colonies than to other counries
was introduced in April, 1897, and pro-
yided that the tariff should at once be !
lowered u 1-2 per cent on merchandise
from Great Britain and the colonies, !
and that on July /, 1898, the reduction
should I've 2j per cent. This was put in

duction was increased to 80 1-3 per cent. |

calities where it can be successfully
grown are limited. In 1876 the first sea
island cotton was raised on the coast
of Georgia from seed obtained in the Ba-
hamas. The first successful crop vas
grown by William Elliott in 1890 on an
island in the mouth Of the Savannah
river. The superior quality of the cot
ton was soon recognized. 1t is now
grown in limited areas in South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Alabama.
Porto Rico is the latest section to en-
deavor to grow the cotton for CONNER
cial, purposes. AS in the growing OF the
upland cotton, the process of selection
to improve the length and fineness of the
fiber must be resorted to by the planter.
1t proves essential also in increasing the
yield, encouraging early ripening, and
harder plants The first care is the
choice of the field from which the selec-
tons are to be made. 1t must be good
soil and thoroughly cultivated in order
to insure a good development of the
plants and satisfactory conditions for
making selections. Just before the first
picking, the Helu is gone over anu every
plant examined with reference to the
productiveness, number and size of bolls,
vigor and shape of plant, earliness, etc.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept g. A strong

artillery recently attacked the village
of Stoilovo, northward of Malkoternovo.
which had been occupied by insurgents.
The latter retired, al er which the Turks
entered the place, mass cred the entire
population and destroyed the village.
Official reports say that 800 insurgents
were killed or wounded during the fight

Consular dispatches from Prishtina,
near the Servian frontier, confirm the
reports that nearly all the Christian
villages in the districts of Dibra, "a
miles from Monastir, and Gicevo have
been pillaged and burned and that the
inhabitants have fed. 1t is not stated
whether Albanians or Bllgarians were
the perpetrators of the outrages.
| According to the latest Turkish official
estimate about 1900 Bulgarians were
killed in the recent fighting at Smilero,
Neveska and Klissura. The Turkish
losses are not stated. This estimate
does not include further losses in the
Smilero district, where fighting was re-

SEA ISLAND COTTON
Porto Rico Now Ginning One OF the
Largest Crops Ever Raised.
Bright Outlook In the Island for This
Valuable and Important Crop
How the Quality Is In
proved by Selection.

The new ginneries which have just
been erected on the water front of San
Juan, island of Porto Rico, are busy
working up the crop of sea island cotton
which is the most pretentious and sig
nificant crop which has yet been raised
in the island. 1t is expected that the
output will be something like lO,OOO
bales of some of the finest sea island cot
ton grown.
About three years ago the first sys-
tematic attempts at growing sea Island
cotton were made in Porto Rico, and
the results thus far obtained are most
gratifying. The principal promoter of
the new movement declares that the
island should grow $4,000 bales of this
superior quality of cotton each year, and
where it is properly cared for, and the
grade of plants improved by selection,
it should net the grower $50 per acre,
while the sugar planter is contented il
he clears SIS per acre.
Sea island cotton differs from the COM
