TRADE WITH CANADA
is GROWING RAPIDLY

Washington, March 26.-Trade with
the u. S. with Canada in the fiscal
year 1905, aggregated 2,ooo,2I3
against $So42o,oo6 in 1906, according
to bulletin issued by the department
of commerce and labor 1t shows that
in the twenty years from 1875 to 1906
our trade with Canada increased ST.
ooo,ooo and from 1896 to 1905 it in
creased $114,ooo,ooo. The larger por-
ton of this growth has been on the ex-
port side The imports increased
from $27S76y615 in 1875 to $o2, 400, 632
in 1905 and exports advanced from $36,-
547,2Io in 1875, to $I6o,52o,5SI in
1906.
This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada" says the bulletin" is
especially interesting in view of the
varying conditions to which commerce
with Canada has been subjected. Dur
ing the period from 1855 to 1866 reci-
procity treaty was in force, but in the
latter year it was terminated so that
commerce between the two countries
was unaffected by special trade ar
rangements until April, 1897, when the
United States was placed at Slight
disadvantage as compared with the
United Kingdom, products from that
country being admitted at a
reduction OF 12H per cent on

That the new White Sox team is an
improvement over that of last season
is the prevailing opinion, and the ini-
tial tryout which will take place in
Peoria, ILL.,, March 8, against the
Three-I league team of that place, will
give Captain O'Dea an opportunity to
size up the work of some OF the play
ers who as yet are comparatively new
to him and give him chance to detect
weak spots. 1t will also give the men
a chance to develop that mutual spirit
commonly called team work by which
the aggregation is brought into unit
of harmonious effort. H.
AS intlmated by the captain the lines
UP may undergo some material changes
after the preliminary games and in
any event couple of more strong men
are being considered from among the
American association 'discards." The
trip will consume month and will in
clude about IS games in which will be
