Russia Export ing Batter.

“Russia in recent years has been creating a large export trade in butter,” reports Consul Mahin, at Reichenberg, to the state department at Washington. “The exports in 1897 amounted to 19,018,030 pounds, and for the first ten months in 1900 doubled that amount, being 37,729,220 pounds. The principal increase is the butter product of Siberia. To facilitate the trade butter trains, equipped with refrigerating apparatus, have been employed to transport the goods to the ports for shipment. During the season of 1900 two special trains of twen-ty-five cars each were dispatched weekly, loaded with butter for the Baltic ports, where in four months 14,428,000 pounds were delivered.”
