Entry List for -Four Breeds Ex-
CeedS All Former Records.

The largest entry list ever received
by any State Fair cattle show in
America has been obtained by the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to H.,
insuring one of the greatest exhibits
ever held anywhere. A stupendous
effort is being eXerted to care for the
large number of animals expected.
Previous entry records have been
broken for Short Horn, Hereford, Red
Polled, and Ayrshire cattle. The Jer-
sey show is far larger than the one
of a year ago. Other breeds barely
fall below previous marks. In all it
will be the largest combined showing
of beef and dairy cattle ever held any
where Over LOO animals have been
entered.
Big Livestock Market.
No doubt the remarkable success
of the cattle show this year is due
to the interest which breeders are
taking in the great public livestock
market, which it is the desire of the
fair to promote. Breeders have been
urged to attend the Minnesota State
Fair, because of the opportunity af-
forded of selling surplus stock to
farmers in the Northwest. Farmers
have been urged to attend the fair to
buy this pure-bred stock to be used

January Trade Record.

Foreign trade from January to
January 30, through 13 principal Gus
toms ports which handle approximate
~ Sc per cent Of the nations export
and import business, netted a balance
in favor of the United States of $751;
1888, exceeding all records for any
one month.
The total exports for the four
weeks, January 2 to January 80, were
$23s, 574, O96, or an average Of $59,643,-
524 per week. The imports were $107,-
440,20s, or an average of $26,s60,052 a
week.
Officials of the department of COM
merce said these figures represented
only telegraphic returns from the prin-
cipal customs ports and that when
complete reports we're received from
throughout the service the volume OF
business transacted last month would
show a material increase-abOut II
per cent-over the present figures.
OF the four weeks mentioned the
last, ended January 30, produced a IA
vorable balance of $35,9O1,535. Ac
cording to the departments records
this shows the largest excess Of ex
ports over imports for any similar
period for more than 10 years.

of trade continues to swing in the di.
rection OF improvement. Starting at
very slow pace three weeks ago 1t
is now moving at a more satisfactory
rate, though even yet the movement is
but conservatively steady.
Almost everywhere the disposition Is
to look on the bright side of things;
evidence Of spring buying, especially
of textiles. continues to multiply; the
labor situation, while far from nor
NAL, is such that idleness is decreas-
ing; winter weather over wide area
has helped reduce stocks Of heavy
goods; money is cheaper; commodity
prices are higher; funds are plentiful
in the cereal-growing regions; winter
wheat is in good shape; copper is
higher and steel mill operations are
being increased.
