in business on the exchange was the re-
suit OF trade combinations. He said:
The port OF New York has shared in
the general growth of trade and COM

ests of the exchange have been benefited.
The net registered tonnage entered and
cleared from the port OF New York in
creased more than 100000 tons this
year Much tonnage was carried, how
ever. at un oiitable rates.
There has Oeen a considerable increase
In the export of wheat from the country,
and a slight increase at this port. Corn
exports at New York for the past ~
months show decrease OF $4,000, 600
bushels, as compared with the previous
IL months.
'The farmer Is prospering but the pro-

tion and the flour. provision, lard and
oil trades are concentrating In limited
number OF corporations which Is most
noticeable In the export trade of these
