ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. S.-The annual
report of State Engineer Adams de-
votes much soace to the commerce of
the state. Elaborate tables have been
compiled from the records Of the gen.

dating back 200 years, giving the
values of the trade between the sew.
eral American colonies and Great
Britain up to the beginning of the
revolutionary war and after that time
and up to date the values Of exports
from the leading Atlantic and gulf
states. Mr.. Adams says that the port
of New York, which a third of CEN

the total exports Of the nation, to-day
commands but 81 per cent. of them.
Statistics presented show that New
