BOSTON, Jan. 1.-Figures for the year show that Boston's export trade for the last twelve months has suffered a great decline over 1901.

The grain slump is almost in comprehensible. Up to last Saturday there had been exported during the whole year 16,4S1, ,455 bushels of grain in comparison with 35,l07, ,659 bushels for last year and 30,337, JOS bushels for, the year 1900 The poor corn crop of 1901 was th lsimary cause of the de creased | .ess. Another reason claimed for me existing conditions is that railroads discriminated against Boston and New York in favor of Bal timore in bringing ocean freights to tidewater. x
