Progress OF CONNIE rcial intercourse between
the United states and Foreign Nations.
IL will be rememb ered that in 1867 large guam
6ty Of wheat arrived in this country from Austria,
principally shipped at Trieste. The persons in
Austria who sent over this wheat ascerained that
when it was ground up in the United States, the
quantity of flour produced from given quantity of
wheat greater, and of much better quality than
was produced, or could be produced from the saae
quantity Of wheat in Austria.
On learning this fact, company in Trieste imme-
diately dispatched agent, Mr. Maslovitch, to the
United States, to buy the whole othe machinery for
large Towering mill and to take it over to Trieste.
The agent, on his arrival in New York, contracted
with the Lafayette Burr Stone Company, at the cor
of Robinson and Washington streets, to construct
run Of mllsones, Of size sufficient to turn out 500
barrels of flour per day These l6 stones are now
completed, and have been shipped on board the ship
Amaa, Guseppna, which will sail soon for Trieste.
These stones 81 feet in diameter, inches larger
than any before made weigh 80 tons, and
made on the same plan as those for the Richmond
Flour Mills. The running geer and the working
geer have all been made in this city, and the whole
will cost about $751; 600 A miller from Richmond
has also been engaged to so out to Austria, and to
work the mill for three years. A mlwright also
goes out 10 put up the mill In short, this country
furnishes every thing connected with it, except the
frame of the mill.
This movement is but the first Of a series towards
an extensive business to be done by the United
States ia the manufacture of mills and machinery for
European nations. Already has this country sent
out to France, England, Russia, Turkey, Austria,
and other European countries, frigates steam ships
sailing vessels of all kinds locomotives, steam en-
gines, cotton gins, printing presses, mill machines
and all kinds of Improvements in every description
Of machinery; and Mr.. Cochran has supplied the
Pacha of Egypt with guns TO carry the war
against the allied powers. We have steam frisates
the stocks for Spain, for Russia in our waters
printing presses for the continent of Europe, just
finishing at Hoes boundary; many -ehambercd can
inst finished for the Pacha by Cochran; rifles and
guns of all kinds on the way to France American cot
ton gins just finished, and put up by an American in
