The total exports of agricultural products in the last fiscal year -were 

 valued at the port of exportation at $530,172,833, and the i'mport.s of 

 l»roducts of agriculture were valued, at foreign ports, at 8240,211,975, 

 a nominal difference of $280,900,800 to the credit of the TTnited States. 

 To the foreign valuation, and certain but indefinite undervaluations, 

 must be added the increased cost by reason of transportation and coni- 

 niissions, so that the real balance in our favor can scarcely be more than 

 8200,000,000. 



It is seen that, ■with the exception of vegetable fibers, both exports 

 and imports consist of human food and beverages and feed of domestic 

 animals or inedible animal products. Taking from exports cotton and 

 a few articles neither edible nor potable, say $205,000,000 in value, and 

 from the imports vegetable fibers and other articles valued at 815,000,000, 

 there is left the value of $325,000,000 of exports and nearly $235,000,000
