Tile sworn value of the young foxes reuretl this year is $0,577,586, and thc revenue to the Provincial Treasury from this source, at 1 por cent., will bc $65,775. Agriculture is the main industry of Now Brunswick also, and in the piisl season, with an increased ilccragc, has produced very good results. The hay and oat crops were ubovc an nv- cruge und are bringing good prices. Potatoes were vcry abundant. and while the price is low, as the quality is good. the surplus can be carried safely into the \viliter, when no doubt prices will improve. The estimated' vnluo of the field crops was $18,000,- 000 :tud of the total agricultural pro- ducts $30,000,00. _ No systeinatic or relinble statistics are kept, but from the figures which we are able to procure, the position of the number raised falls very short of ed as unsatisfactory here also, and thc number raised falls very short of, the capabilities of the province.

The total trade ill deals was cstinnitcd at -100.- 000,000 foci, and prices averaged $10.- 75 per lliousnnd feel, ranging from $14.50 to $10, the latter ln-ing the oilf- side high price for H. gootl specifica- tion. This rclurn is bcltcr than that obtained ill uvcragc years, ami is $2.50 per thousand above that of 1012. Owing to the shutting off of thc llal- tlc supplies on account of thc war, the market lil England for deals at t.lie pre- sent time is very firm. and is zilnlosi tcrtiliu lo continue so, nt lcusl thro- ughout lllc first half of 1915. Our expectation tlierefore is that ll larger cut of deals than usual will bc made this wluter. The Americali market, ex- cepting ill April and May, wus satis- factory at no time during the year, but the local trade kept up vcr_v well uul.il the cnd of August. Throughout 1915, especially in connection with the large public works in progress, wc cxpect thc local demand will be very fair. All the manufactured stock of 1914 has been well cleaned up ami the industry is ill a sound position. The usual quantity of nlechanicul pulp was nlanuf'acfured and produced fair pro- fits. but the English market is at pre- sent exfrcnlcly depressed and the illi- nlcdiutc outlook is not bright.

Had the steel plants at Sydney and New Glasgow used as much us ill previous years there would probably have been no decrease. There has been no over-production and all the mines are in excellent order, quite equal ill capacity, it is believed, to increasing the annual output to 10,000,- 000 tons. Prices have been steady, and labor coildifloiis were satisfactory. Nothing calling for remark has tak- en _place in connection with the other mineral resources. The depression which fell on the iron and steel industry has been very severe, and substantial recovery, un- der tlie luost favorable turn in trade, will take some tinlu.
