the prospect is that Missouri will furn-

or two. While here we had the peas
me of meeting with Charles y. Whitta-
kcr, 4 Young and talented lawyer OF the
place, formerly from our native town IN
Pennsylvania, and WHO is meeting with
success in the practice Of his profession.
We found him to be clever and obliSlng
gentleman, and d~eservedly popular with
the people. We visited the REPUBLi,
CAN printing Office. and found our friend
0. Z. Paul enjoying Il good run OF bust
ness. His Office was burnt Il few months
ago,b but he is now fairly under way
again, with an Office greatly improved,
and deserves 10 be liberally supported.
We met numerous old friends. OF
whom we would like to speak, but
or limited space win not premit.

The foreign trade of the United States
is now exhibiting precisely the features
that ought to give satisfaction TO al who
have the prosperity of the country at
heart. Our imports are falling off and
II exports are largely increasing.
The same state of things is observed at
all the large ports of the country, but it
may be seen clearly enough by the re-
turns for New York, Philadelphia and
Boston. The report from New York
shows that the exports exceed 4 total
value of Sill, 32S, $50, while the imports
have reached The value of SlS6,264,57
an increase in exports of S26, 800, eco and
a decrease of $40, 900, 600 in imports.
This rate of increase on the one side and
decrease ON the other would make in
the whole year u change of some $780,
0O0, 900, which is more than the entire
balance against lis in the year ending
with June. 1873. The exports from
Philadelphia and from Boston and the
imports are about in the same proper
zion rs that at New York. At this time
asst year the exports We're but thirty
three per cent. of the imports, this yea,
they are greatly larger, rs the figure:
show. The gain in New York has beer
about sixty per cent. There is hardly
any thing that shows 50 large a falling
off as foreign dry goods. The total val
ne of such goods entered at New York
is not only smaller this year than last,
but is actually below that of 1871, the
totals for the five months being SJS,-
$4,000 in 1873, against nearly $4,000
900 in 1872, and s6I,25o,WW for 1871.
This shows that our dealers are eau
tious in buying. and also that we arc
using more largely of domestic goods.
