EXPORTS AND INIPoETs.

According to the May report of the
ststistician of the agricultural de-
partment, about one-tenth of our ag-
ricultnral products, are exported.
though the articles shipped abroad
are few. They are cotton, tobacco,
meats, breadstuffs, butter and cheese.
All other articles together are about
three per cent of the exports.
The wheat crop of the United
States is 6O0OO0,OOO bushels, of
which only S5,O0O,OOO bushels are
exported. The total European de-
fciency is only 144,00O,OOO bushels.
In rye, oats and barley there is a
very small international trade. Only
Great Britain Belgium and Portu-
gal Of th" European nations import
