TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Outside of the above spurt there is nothing of special moment to chronicle, 

 except that the exports by sea and rail together amounted to one million 

 seven hundred and forty-one thousand one hundred and forty-eight centals, 

 an amount considerably in excess of the shipments of the previous twelve 

 months, and larger than the record of any previous year. A flattering 

 increase in our exports to the United Kingdom must especially be noted. 



As would naturally be expected with large exports, trade in brewing 

 descriptions and chevalier has at times been very active; the range of the 

 bulk of the shipments being from 90 cents to $1 02| per cental for No. 1 

 brewing, and from $1 40 to $1 60 per cental for No. 1 chevalier. 



The first of January, 18.88, found the heaviest stock of barley ever carried 

 in the State, and this has been a constant drag on the markets. The crop 

 of 1888 is estimated as somewhat less than that of 1887.
