The United States may Justly claim to
be "solng ahead in their export business,
whatever may be thought Of their boosted
progress in other directions. Unhappily
for Us this form of prosperity chances to
be the very one most likely to be secured
ut our expense. For while our transat-
lantlc cousins are sending us largely In
creased quantities Of their goods every
year, they show less and less inclination TO
return the favor by taking our commodi.

In 1868, II had reached El4l ,S14, 4S0in 1878,
being an increase Of GS6, B99, 1856, or al the
rate Of about Gs,6OO,0O per annum. In
the last year, however, OF this decennlal
period the increase was close on El0, 00O,.
900, q strong indication that the competi.
ton our manufacturers encounter from
this quarter Is likely TO become more and
more embarrassing On the other
hand, the net imports OF merchandise
have fallen OF steadily since 1873,
although the population must now
he considerably larger than It was at the
former date, and the demand for European
goods ought, therefore, TO be so much the
greater. The national inference 10 be
drawn from these suggestive statistics
seems to be that while American manu-.
facturers are gradually monopoliEing the
whole OF their own markets, and thus
Ousting from them our merchants, they
arc also attacking with not little success
the chief centres OF demand In Europe.
This latter theory receives support from
the fact that In 1873 the States sent abroad
cotton, iron, and steel manufactures to the
value Of nearly Gl,0OO,000 sterling In tx
cess OF the previous year exports. With
in a comparatively short period the mar
kets OF Europe knew no Yankee products
under these heads, except a few miscel-
laneous notions" which had no APP
probable influence on current rates, True,
the quantity exported still remains in
significant compared with what we our
selves send abroad. Butevery trade must
have beginning, and 1t must be confess
ed that Cousin Jonathan has made very
good start in foreign business. In cotton,
especially, he seems determined 10 make
the most Of his advantages, for the
quantity produced in the States last year
was very nearly double what It amounted
to in 1870, although trade was supposed TO
be utterly stagnant in every branch.

heard from. Spring wheat now promises
to be slightly below the average, but with
two or three weeks dry, hot weather 1t
may furnish nearly an average yield. The
average OF fall wheat is II per cent. above
the average crop. Barley will be IN aver.
age crop. The oats crop, both as regards
quality and area, is considerably above
the average. Peas will DO an average crop.
The area in corn Is about as usual, but its
condition is the worst Of all, owing 10 the
baCkwardness Of tho season and the fire..
quent cold snaps Hay seems to have the
widest range this year between goodness
and badness, the average condition OF the
whole being three per cent. above and
wherever the crop is already gathered it is
spoken OF as in first class order. Rye is
an insignificant crop and four per cent,

twenty per cent. below the average. The
condition OF the other fruits is about four

that several Of our great firstclass broader
gauge railways, which cross the ALE.
ghany mountains between the Atlantic
and Western States, have many curves Of
SIX hundred feet radius, and grades Of one
10 one hundred and twenty feet
inclination to the mile.
II Is my opinion that comparatively and
the radius OF 400 feet Is no
more Objectionable for the three foot gauge
than 600 feet for the wider gauges Of five
feet.
As 10 grades need say nothing more
than simply reCite the laCt that upon both
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vania Ceatral Railways the limit Of grade
through the mountainous portions Of their
roads has nearly reached the limit Of this
road-tho difference being only sixteen
10 twenty feet per mile.
In regard To the stability and perma.
nency OF construction, ! think this road
can be iavorably compared with the best
Of its broader gauge neighbors.
Irrespective, however, OF all Gomparl:
son with other roads-either OF standard
or narrow gauge-l have to express the
opinion that this one In particular has
been well located, honestly constructed,
and $50 far as could judge from personal
Contact) In the possession and control OF
gentlemen OF unquestioned intelligence
and honesty.
OF the first twenty.one miles Of the road
now In use, about one third Is well bal
lasted and In excellent condition. and the
remainder In the usual state Of roads that
are prematurelY brought into active en-
ployment through the demands Of q BUSH
ness sei.crealed, and, so fur as | can say,
unlimited or illimitable.
The remaining twenty.one miles OF the
road are 80 nearly completed, as TO grad
ing and masonry, that think that the
expenditure OF $4,000 would meet the
cost OF preparing them for the track; aud,
the croSs.ties being already upon the road,
at convenient points, tho track should BIO
laid down for n sum not exceeding
$4,000.
To these expenditures it Is necessary to
add the probable cost Of thoroughly bal
lasting the track, and equipping the road
with machinery, station.houses, &C., &C.,
sufficient for current demands, which !
think may not exceed the sum OF $50, 600
more.
In brief, believe that the expenditure
OF $l20,0OO, in the economical manner
hitherto pursued by this Company, would
complete the work to WoOdstield and
place it upon an equal footing with what
are termed "first.CIass" railroads.
When completed in the manner Just
now referred to, | should estimate the
value OF the road, with It's legal franchises,
possessions and privileges, at no less sum
than Sl9, 900 0O per mile, or in round mum.
beers, for the iOrty.two miles, five hundred
thousand dollars.
Believing that these statements are the
embodiment OF the verbal opinion already
expressed, remain, very respectfully
