A despatch fruit, Ottawa says: The

statistics of the Done:: ot► (i,r ilte season

figures show a large increase in the busij-
1 Iw tw.wrt (:auruliatt ports during Itlo
past twenty years particularly with re:
geld to wibstwar,l truffle. The growth
lies been Comsiciseable from Canadian to
United States ports.
The up-11e:und traffic has been in larger
v, lumc than that moving eastward.
Since 1887 tho truthbetween United
Steles by Canadian canals has grown
largely. In this instance, however, the
movement downward has been greater
titan upward. '('here has been an actual
atu•inkng o in the up traffic between
United States and Canadian ports. The
eastbound business, however, 1►aa prac-
tically doubled.
The expansion of business with canals
is retain ely larger than that shown by
C'nadian railways.
The traffic moving up and down has
increased 287 per cent. during the (,aril
twenty years. The westward business
shows a gain of 368 per cent.. while the
eastward grew to the extent of 257 per
cent.
While 57,966,715 Ions of freight were
carried by Canadian railways in 1906, as
compared with 16.3:,6,337 in 1887, the
betterment was 251 per cent., as against
287 per cent. on the canals.
