COMMERCE OF CANADA. The whole importations for 1863 amount in value to $45,964,493 and the exports amount to $61,831,532. The following is a statement in detail of the commerce of Canada for 1863, and the totals for 1862: From the above we see that the balance against Canada in 1862 was about $15,000,000, while in 1863 it was only about $4,000,000. By classifying the exports as follows for the past three years it will be noted that the large increase in 1863 is in great part referable to the exports of the products of the foresttimber and lumber. The last year the articles exported under this head exceeded in value thirteen and one-half millions of dollars. Of this amount $4,397,103 came to the United States. The following is a comparative statement of the quantity and value of the goods enumerated in the Reciprocity Treaty, the growth and produce of the United States, and imported into Canada during the years 1862 and 1863 : * We are indebted to Deputy Inspector-General WILLIAM DICKINSON, for copies of the Trade and Navigation Report, and report of the public accounts of Canada for 1863, from which this article has been compiled.-ED.
