objected, saying that the use of it would kill his cattle! (Cows are generally used.) I 
imported a pair of wheels and an axletree, and had a cart made, in other respects similar to 
those used here, (not to attempt too much at once.) I gave it to a cartman who with others 
was engaged in carting hogsheads of sugar, who, finding that with greater ease he could 
convey double the weight, was delighted. At the end of three days he returned the cart, 
saying that it jolted so that it would destroy his cattle! His fellow-countrymen could not 
be convinced that if the cart were not driven faster the jolting could not be greater. 
EXPORTATION OF WHEAT TO ENGLAND. 
A very great increase in wheat exportation over last year has been hereto- 
fore noticed. Official statements of imports into Great Britain for five months 
of 1868, up to May 31, represent a movement of 3,034,093 ewt., against 858,116 
ewt. for a similar period of last year—about 1,000,000 bushels per month. The 
following table shows the total imports in detail. It will be seen that only 
Russia exceeds our figures : 
1868.
