While the cotton crop has been an important
element in the larger foreign trade OF the south,
new and important factor has appeared dur
ing the past year in the movement of large
quantity of grain to southern ports, the abun-
dant crops of the past season throughout the
country having brought the grain trade OF the
southern ports into greater prominence than
ever before. In addition to the grains grown on
southern soil there has been a considerable
movement Of western crops to southern and
southwestern ports for export The Norfolk q
Western railroad, which has never before
figured as grain carrier, has had large
traffic in cereals during the past few months,
and the Chesapeake & Ohio has carried
a large amount of this freight. The situation at
Newport News at the opening Of December
furnishes good illustration of the manner in
which the grain trade has grown with the south
ern railroads. In one week seven steamers car
ried out 2t58I3 bushels of wheat and $4,000
bushels of oats There were 100000 bushels of
wheat in the elevator awaiting shipment, 10000
bushels in cars the tracks awaiting unload
| ing, and 100000 bushels in transit by rail for
| shipment from Newport News. The superin
| tendent of the Newport News elevator reports
| that 1.-The receipts of grain there up to Decem-
| Der "A were 5179,000 bushels. OF corn there
| were 100000 bushels; wheat, 2,8400OO, and
| of oats, $4,000. There are now 600 loaded
cars on the line and several thousand more
for business in sight. The outlook for next year
! is all that we can ask. We expect the increase
to be so per cent over the business of the year.
| Baltimore has, of course, long figured as one of
| the leading grain shipping ports, and, there
| fore does not call for consideration in this con-
| nection. Galveston is coming to the front in
this respect and there is promise of an enor-
nous grain export trade from that port. Within
the past month work has been commenced upon
| a grain elevator with a capacity of 100000
| bushels at Galveston to accommodate the grow
ing trade of that port. With proper facilities it
| is probable that Galveston will secure a large
amount of western grain for export, besides the
| surplus of Texas grain. New Orleans has done
very heavy grain business, the exports of
wheat for the five months ended November 80
having been 7,459 759, against 30i 02 bushels for
the corresponding time of the preceding year.
| The exports of coal from southern ports have
| larger than usual during the past year. and the
extension of trade in this direction is dealt with
more fully under our review of the coal indus
try for the year.
The exports from southern ports during Mo-
vember were the largest ever made in one
month aggregatingin in value s53 3f5, ,729 the total
for the entire country being S1l0, 10000. Thus,
notwithstanding the extraordinary active for
! eign trade from northern and Pacific coast
ports nearly one half of the total exports from
the United States in November was from the
| south. The following table shows the exports
/ from southern ports in November:

authorities to drive him out, which is
more easily said than done when the

lively small number of available troops
is considered. News of a conflict may
