Illinois As was forcshadowcd. the exports of cotton
begin TO show large declines from tho exports Of
preceding week; last week they amounted only to
O5 900 bales against 10000 bales for the preced-
ing week. Yet since September L, 1867, they nave
amounted TO 35O5,1I1 bales, against 2,616, $40
bales for the same period OF the pre-
ceding year The eastward movement of grain
from Chicago last week yas unusually
large amounting to $3.50 tons: the total of -four
grain and provisions amounted 10 70,707 tons. The
Chicago correspondents however. are mistaken in
saying: This Is the heaviest East-bound tonnage
ever recorded for single week. In tho week
ended on February 4, 1882, the total movement of
the same articles IT, 10 tons. The moyementlast

confirms the Of-repsated reports that large rebates
are made to the large shippers to induce them TO
move their stuff before the opening Of navigation.
