EXPORTS TO CANADA
DOUBLE IN 3 YEARS
Manufa ctures Chief Factor in
Remarkable Gain in Trade
Between the Countries.

Washington, Aug. l1.-EXports from the
United States TO Canada have pracu-
callv doubled in tho last three years ac-
cording to official figures OF the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De
nartment OF Commerce. Canada Is now
a larger purchaser OF the products OF
the United States than any other COUNTRY
| except the United Kingdom. The total
value Of the exports from the United
| States TO Canada ia the fiscal year 1913
was sn5 10000. against S2l6,"om In 1910
The gain for the single year 1928 was
sSs p0OOO. "A larger increase than In any
earlier year.
Manufactures form about two-thirds on
the American merchandise exported To
| Canada and were the chief factor IN the
remarkable gain by which that trade has
practically doubled I'm three years. Pas
sengor and freight cars. for example
increased from $4,000 TO $4,000 in their
exportations to Canada In the three
wears under review. automobiles from
81 333. 90 to $4,000; copper pigs barS'
etc. from less than 100000 TO over 90
100 600. steel rails from less than N'VW'-
600 10 nearly 100000; cotton cloths from
s-,oO.o To .2JO0cD; locomotives IRON
600 90 10 over $4,000; lumber (boards'
deals etc), from 100000 10 N333S.co)'
structural steel from less than 100000
IN over 100000 metal working machin-
cry from $4,000 TO S2333,cO0; agricultu-
raj implements from $4,000 to pracu-
callv 100000; pipes and fittings from
500 900 10 over 100000; leather boots
and shoes from 81 10000 TO over S~c'oo'
and Illuminating oils from about %v")
In 1910 TO over 81, 10000 I'm 1913.
In raw materials and foodstuns the
gain is less pronounced. Raw cotton. OF
which the exports TO Canada amounted to
nearly 100000 in l9l3 shows practically
no increase I'm value during the three
wears I'm question, though a slight increase
I'm quantity. Corn, which amounted TO
81 OO1 go I'm 1910 was $4,000 In 1913, un-
manufactured tobacco, $1,000 In 1870
s2.7.O 600 in 1913; oranges, 100000 In 1910,
s. 10000 in 1913; wheat, &,553,cO In 1870
x70cO I'm 1913. Coal shows a marked in
crease, from S3l 10000 in 1910 to $4,000
in 1913, the values being about equally di-
vided between anthracite and bltumlnous.
The gain In exports to Canada in 1913
exceeds by far that In exports to any
other country or TO any grand division
except Europe. The actual gain In ex-
ports from the United States to Canada
I'm the fiscal year 1913 was, as already In
dicated, $4,000, 600; that in exports to the
United Kingdom. s3S,Ooo,ooO; Germany. $50. 70

whole, sl3s, 1000 900; to all South America.
Sl4,O0OOO0; to all North America except
Canada. 100000; to Oceanic, 100000.
and to Africa. practically $4,000, while
TO Asia there was "A slight decline.
The United States supplied, according
TO Canadian figures. 50 per cent OF the
imports Of Canada In 1872, against 5s.4 per
cent IN 1892 decade earlier.
On the import side the growth in trade
with Canada is less striking, the totals
being 100000 in 1910 and 1921 10000 in
1913 The chief articles In which the
growth in imports occurred are hides Of
cattle, which increased from s3.5DO,0o0 in
