OUR CANADA TRADE
Two Statements DifferiRq
 by Sl2,OOO,OOO
But They Both Agree in Showing That the Exports From This County to Canada Are Growing.

Washington, Oct 16.-The trade of the United States with Canada is shown from the standpoint of the Unit ed States in a series of tables included in the annual report of the chief of the bureau of statistics, just made pub lie by the department of commerce and labor while tables also received by the bureau of statistics from the Canadian government present a picture of that trade from the Canadian standpoint. Curiously, while the two statements relate to the same trade and are pre- sented for fiscal years which terminate in each case on June 3O the figures Of values differ materially.
 The statement of the United States
 exports to Canada for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, shows a total Of S131.274 346, while the Canadian state
 ment of imports from the United States which should include only the articles classified as exports from the { United States to Canada, shows a to- | tai value of such imports of $143 .C1O, ,57S, or a total of F million dollars greater | than the United States statement of export values of presumably the same | articles. An examination of the Cana | dian and United States figures for oth- CT years also shows material diff l i 1903 the Canadian figures of imports from the United States exceed by 5 millions the figures of the United States | showing exports to Canada, and this is l true Of the figures for the fiscal year 1 1902.
 This fact that the Canadian state ment of imports from the United States | exceeds in total the statement of ex- ports from the United States to Can ada for the corresponding period of | time is not an unusual development in 1 comparing the export figures Of the | United States with the import figures ! of other countries. In many cases the l figures of the importing country, which | include only the articles exported from the United States to that country. show
 a larger total value than do the figures of the United States in stating the val
 ue of the same articles when exported.
 A striking illustration of this general | fact Is found in some figures recently | compiled by the bureau of statistics, which showed the total importations
 from the United States of each country l of the world in 1902, save in few ex- ceprional cases where figures of 1901
 were the latest available records.
 A standardization of these national | statements of imports from the United 1 States in 1902 shows a grand total of 1 the worlds imports from the United States of s1,59O, 900. 0OO,~ while the Unit
 ed States statement of the value of ex- ports to all countries of the world in that year was $1, ,S6O ,OOO, 900, a difference
 of 23O million dollars. or r per cent larger when stated as imports by the various countries of the world than when stated as exports by the United States.
 Another illustration of this general fact, that imports are always valued higher than the corresponding articles 1 when exported, is found in the fact | that the total value of importatiOns oi all countries of the world for which l records are available is shown by tht report of the chief of the bureau o
 statistics, just issued, at S11, ,S09. .234 coo
 while the exports of all countries
 which, of course. must form the i'm 1 ports, were valued for the correspond. ing year at cnIy S1G514, 932.00O, q diff
 ference of S1354. .699 900, or 13 per. cen larger. when stated as imports thar 1 when stated as exports.
 While the figures of the Canadian government and those of the United States differ somewhat as to the value of the commerce passing between them they sufficiently agree to show that thu
 growth of that commerce has been ver1
