Our Meat Exports.

The total annual export value of United States meat, of which beef forms the principal item, is in round figures $100,000,000. If we add to this the distributive sales of the various packing establishments in the United Slates for the domestic market as well, we find that it reaches the enormous total of 1,000,000 carloads, valued at $2,000,000,000. Added to this is the value of the many byproducts of the packing house, which amount to many million* more.—Leslie’s Monthly.
