PRESIDENT BARRows TALKS OF LOSS OF EX-
PORT TRADE AT THIS PORT
At the annual meeting OF the New-York Produce
Exchange yesterday the reports OF President Bar
and Treasurer Rice were received and ap-
proved. In his review OF the year the president
points out the many difficult and perplexing prob
lens which the Exchange has had 20 face Not
least among these the continued agitation
growing out of the sratuity fund question. which
involved many legal features and put a heavy
burden upon the management President Barrows
also referred TO the War Revenue tax, which, he
said. cheerfully borne as long as it seemed
that the honor of the country at stake, but
which he thought somewhat oppressive. The
canal question also referred TO in the presi-
dents report. the fact being noted that that
question is again 10 dealt with by the iegfs-
lature. During the year ninety-eight new mem
bers were elected. OF the recent accessons to the
Exchange thirty-six are members Of the Stock
Exchange.
In discussing trade conditions, President Barrows
says that special interests the floor have shared
IN the general prosperity Of the country but that
the individual business Of the Exchange at large is
in a satisfactory condition In the export Of
wheat he continues, New-YorS shows loss OF
per cent as compared with last year. Boston gain
ing per cent Philadelphia per cent and New
port News , per cent. while Baltimore. New-Or-
leans and Galveston show losses Of per cent.

Reference is made 10 the alteration or the trad
