Figures on Canada’s Trade.

In 1897 English exports to Canada were valued at $30,000,000, says a writer in the World’s Work. In 1900 they were $45,000,000. Canadian exports to England in 1897 were $77,000,000, and in 1900 they were $108,000,000. The preference given to England was coincident at least with an annual gain at thfc end of three years of 50 per cent of English trade In Canada and about 40 per cent of Canadian trade in England. In 1897 the United States without tariff concessions bought from Canada $50,000,000 worth of goods and $69,000,000 worth in 1900—a gain for Canada of 40 per cent, or the same gain as made in her trade with England. In 1897 the United States sold Canada $61,000,000 worth of goods, and sllO,000,000 worth in 1900, or a gain 6f 65 per cent, as against England’s gain of 50 per cent.
