1t will be seen from the above table that the ex-
ports from the United States during the last fiscal
quarter exceeded the imports seven millions, four
hundred and forty eight thousand six hundred and
fifty-six dollars.
The price for Land Warrants has fallen off in
Washington and New York from to 10 cents per
acre, and the brokers decline buying at the reduc.
ton. The Washington Star says:
"rhis sudden decline has been caused by the
passage of the Iowa railroad land BILL and the elo-
sing of all the land districts of that State to the
further location of warrants. This act will shut
the Iowa land offices for the next twelve months
Should the bills authorizing grants to railroads in
Wisconsin and Minnesota become laws, the effect
will be to close the land offices of those States and
reduce the field for location within still narrower
limits. If the Kansas and Nebraska lands now
under the survey, be brought into market at an
early day, favorable reaction will probably oc-
cur; but information from the General Land Office
induces to elieve that these lands will not be
subject to any private entry before the expiration
of six months, nor do we suppose any other public
lands will be offered for sale so soon.n
