Barnier's Produce- In the-fiscal year ending June 30th, 1884, Canada exported 90;G64 head of horned cattle, the value' of which was ^5,91'27890' or rather more than $65 a head.* Of slm^p the exports were 304,474. valued $lj 546,150, or a little more than' $5 a head, Olir abipments lust year" of ■ living cattle and sheep,..cheese and butter,, were valued atrjust a trifle less than $17,000,000 —an in­ crease in those four at tides of $2,. 500) 000 over the exports of 1883.
