Our Export Trade.

The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington observes that it appears probable the magnitude of the present enormous export movement from the United States will be sustained, from the fact of our annually increasing crops, our vast undeveloped resources, and the stimulus which the exportation of a)l sorts of food products, especially wheat, corn, animals and provisions, has received from greatly reduced cost of transportation from the interior to the seaboard. This latter circumstance has very materially increased our ability to compete in foreign markets.— Chicago Commercial Advertiser.
