1879, and $l40, 564,237 more than for tn,

It's officially certified by the statistical bu-
reau at Berlin that emigration from Ger
many by way of Bremen, Hamburg, Stettin
and Antwerp has been, during the past six
months of the year. 50,422. persons, against
5000 in 1879, 1884 in 1878, any l2,O2l in
lS77-that is to say, three times greater in
1880 than in 1879 and four times greater
than in 1878 or 1877. The clerical newsps-
pers attribute the enlarged exodus to reli-
gious persecution, the radical papers to polit-
ical rea ton, the socialist papers to the
pressure of increa' ed taxation aud increased
cost of living.
Illinois still leads all other states in the
number of miles of its railroads. This posi-
ton Illinois has occupied since 1879, when it
passed Pennsylvania, which previously had
been the leading railroad state. The railroad
mileage of Illinois is now 1878; Pennsylya-
MIA comes next with 6,068: New York follows
close behind with COOS; Ohio is fourth, with
6,521 miles; Iowa is fifth, with 4,779 miles,
and Indiana sixth, with 1880 miles; Missouri,
Michigan, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Texas, Georgia and Californi, follow in the
order named. There is no state or territory
which is totally devoid of railroads, though
Montana can boast of bat ten miles of com.
pleted road.
In all reports of commercial statistics and
of revenue receipts results are presented be-
yond the most sanguine expectations. The
returns of the clearing. house at Chicago for
August show an increase of Sal ,000 O00 or
fifty per cent. over the corresponding month
of last year. The New Orleans Price Current
shows material increase at that port in all
branches Of trade over last year, an increase
reaching, IN some instances, hundred per
cent In the internal revenue receipts for
August there is gain of ten per cent. over
the corresponding period of last year, and the
statement of the secretary Of the treasury
shows that the receipts from customs duties
at all ports for 1880 amount to $780, 500 1854,
and those from internal revenue to $24,0O9,-
1913, an increase of $40, 2720l6 in customs,
and of $40, 437, 1853, in internal revenue re-
ceipts over 1879. These figures are in &C
cordance with the producing power of the
country and denote the degree gifts aggregate
prosperity. Indeed there never was period
IN the history Of the country, when the srte-
ries OF trade pulsated more vigorously, and
when business exhibited a more bounding
vitality.
:, Fall trade prospects, as summarized BY
the New York Commercial Bulletin, could
not well be more hattering than they are.
The Bulletin says: 1.-THE great rail and water
transportation rates, even thus early, are
moving merchandise to the various distrlb-
uting points to an extent which taxes their ia.
cilities in most instances to their utmost ca
pacity. The trunk lines report their wester,.
bound business as from % to 40 per cent. 10
excess of that of last year this time, while On
east-bound they say the increase IL at least 10
per cent. The coast steamers, through TO
New Orleans and Galveston, have as much
outward freight as they can handle, esti.
mating the increase at fully 10 per cent.
over that of last year this time. At present
the movement this way, as might be expect
ed, is comparatively light; but with abundant
cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco crops about
70 be marketed, there will be ere long no lack
VI ireights likewise in this direction, and the
snucipation that these will show as large a
per centsge of increase as the outward move
me, mncnt before the season Is at an end is not
SSSeiy to be disappointed. The Florida and
savannah coasters are doing quite as well as
ss- season; and about all the eastern lines
nave 'hsir hands full, all save one reporting
IISS,,ness better every way than at this time in
a asas All the great staples, with but few
SAceptions, are in satisfactory position.
