ANNUAL REVIEW OF CANADA'S
SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., D.C.L., LLD.,
President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce
The progress of the Bank during the past year has been so gratifying and the subjects to which the General Manager has been asking your attention are so important that I feel less confidence than usual in taking up your time merely to review some of those features of the prosperity of the country with most of which you are already familiar. As you all know the year has been a momentous one for Canada in directions which cannot be discussed here, but on the purely business side it has demonstrated in an unusual degree the fact that the general progress of such a large area as Canada is likely to be accompanied by untoward as well as fortunate events.
The totals of our imports and exports for the fiscal year of the Dominion, ending March, 1911, are again record figures. Our imports were $472,194,000 and our exports $297,196,000, the balance against us being the large sum of $174,998,000, not far from the balances of any two previous years put together. The total trade was $769,390,000, against $693,161,000 a year ago. The significant fact, however, is that while our imports increased $80,391,000 our exports declined $4,162,000. This is of course principally due to very free imports in anticipation of the present large cereal crop; to the increase in railroad construction and public and private building; and to larger immigration, the value of such settlers' effects as are declared, appearing as imports. It is also partly due to somewhat larger imports of gold bullion and silver. For the first six months, ending September, 1911, of the current fiscal year, the figures are even more striking, the imports being $266,187,000 and the exports $141,865,000, the balance against us for the six months being $124,322,000 as against
