The total receipts Of the Tonawanda railroad during

period last year.
We table deliberately compiled from the ship
ping list showing the quantity of certain articles expor-
ted from this district for the first four months OF the past
three years. It will be observed that tho increase pro-
dominates and that the aggregate expectation Of these
items for the first four months Of that OF the
first four months of 1874 The exports in lS44 were much
larger than in l843 each showing steady increase
ON the previous one. There has been falling of in the
expectation Of agricultural products such Beef Pork
Flour, Lard Rice, and Wheat The demand abroad for
these articles very limited which is of the prime
causes of the reduced expectation but the principal
cause the falling off in the supplies at the ports of
poraton in consequence of the low prices ruling for the
staple agrcuturalproducts of the country. We give
another for the reduced receipts at the principal
ports from the interior and that the increased demand
for consumption in the immediate vicinity of the produc-
ton There has been within the last two years such
immense increase in manufacturing and other mechani
cal pursuits throughout the Western and South
sections Of the country, that the number of
consumers has rapidly increased; laborers ha-
wing been called from tho tillage of the soil
to the workshops. The returns made up at
New Orleans Of the of agricultural products
down the Mississippi and the made Albany and
Troy Of the receipts of produce from the West via the
canals show falling of in the extent of receipts COM
pared with the corresponding period of last year. The
crops every section.of hc Union last year i'm

ment the country The receipts Of the crop
fall not unusually large giving to suppose that
there stocks in tho Interior in first hands,
waiting the opening Of navigation in the spring, and
improvement in prices to forward the surplus to market
Our ancipations thus far have been realized
induced believe that the receipts have been
cd by the given above, which we sum up fol-
lows REDUCED prices for agricultural products at the
seaport markets increased CONSUMPTION in the interior;
and the contracts made by many OF the producers Of the
