There was a high demand for ships during this time, and in the southern colonies, farmers and plantation workers ruled. The New England colonies were more inclined to export lumber for ships because they had poor soil and hilly, rocky land, leaving no room for agriculture, and had to make up for this by exporting goods and having bustling commercial centers (cities) since they had no cash crops.
