The receipts at this port for the eleven months ending Nov. 30, 1916, exhibit a gain in corn of 3,590,779 bushels, in floor of 72,262 barrels.*and in bacon 73,107 boxes. The decrease in wheat, amounting to 562.323 bushels, is owing to the falling off in the foreign export of this article, but the general condition of the trade in both breadstuff? and provisions denotes a progressive movement that is quite encouraging to the future growth of our eommerce.— Bottion Journal.

It- is 366 miles long, and has cost only $28,800 per mile, which is much less than the cost of any other railway in that Republic, and, indeed, is cheap for any country, as the cost of railway building has been.
