While Europs is pouring into these
United States millions of gold and
thousands Of emigrants during the first
week of the present month 17,79S emf
grants landed at Castle Garden), this
country is every year augmenting its ex-
ports 60 the old world. One of recent
shipments to Europe is wild game from
the West. The trade has already as
sumed considerable proportions. The
principal points of shipment are Chicago
and st. Louis. Last years business in
tha former city is estimated at 1,500,-
600, and in the latter considerably over
$1,000, 600, The shipments consist chiefly
of quails, prairie chickens and wild
turkeys. The birds, closely packed in
barrels are put in charge of the stewards
Of the transatlantic steamers. Ordin-
arily the bulk of the shipments is dellv-
cred fresh and sound. Venison is also
shipped across the Atlantic, but till now
in small quantities. The export trade
OF Wild game is yet in its infancy. Vari-
GUS Chicago and st. Louis dealers conf
IDENTIFY predict that before great while it
wib reach at least $4,000, 600 per year.
There is no department of the worlds
larder which Brother Jonathan cannot
I'LL. The alarm among British farmers
about the sharp competition of Ameri-
can cereals, meat, butter, cheese, etc,
with their products in their own markets
continues to form the groundwork for
numberless editorials in the English
papers. 1t is not easy TO see how the
problem OF high land rents and sue
essaial competition with American food
products grown on land that pays no
rent is to be worked out by the British
farmer. He must pay every year to a
Landlord larger sum per acre in the
form Of rent than the cost of good un
> improved Iowa farm. The American
farmer is lightly taxed and supports
only his own family. The English
farmer pays heavy taxes and helps sup
port in luxury the family of his land
lord. The final triumph of the pro-
ducer in England is, it appears, to be
reached In the expectation of oranges
from Florida. The Pal Mall Gazette
states that box of this fruit was sent
as an experiment from Jacksonville,
and, although the voyage occupied
three weeks, the oranges arrived in good
condition in London, and were pro-
nounced to be much finer in quality
than those from Spain and Portugal, to
which the English are accustomed. As
the British farmer cannot raise oranges
hims If, he will probably welcome this
new importation without grumbling
There is no reason why the transporta-
tion could not be accomplished in much
less time than three weeks if the trade
will warrant it.
The exports of machinery and manu-
factured goods are steadily growing.
OF late years locomotives have been
sent to Russia, South America and Aus
tralia. And now comes another custo-
mer. The Rogers locomotive works
shipped last week nine locomotive en-
gines and tenders to Spain for the Vale
Valleneuva and Barcelona railway. The
material was loaded into the steamer at
pier No. IA, East river.
America is making herself known in
Europe by the most powerful of mod
ern influences, that of material interest.
The sovereign powers are compelled to
recognize America as their equal. They
would prefer to judge of it on par
with Brazil, or Spain, or Australia, or
India; but imperious facts forbid
