296 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. 
Woob AND ITS MANUFACTURES.—This branch of our export shows 
a decline of over two and a half millions of dollars. The falling offis 
chieily in pot and pearl ashes, in sawed timber, boards and shooks, in 
logs, masts, telegraph poles anc other whole timber. On the other 
hand, the different branches of wooden manufacture show an increased 
shipment, as also rosin, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, and tar. 
The United Kingdom received $6,796,104, against $9,220,006 in 1877 ; 
the West Indies, $3,865,728, against $4,896,841; British America, 
$2,344,054, against $2,914,877 ; Germany, $1,297,470, against $1,214,020; 
france, $758,282, against $568,846. Other European countries show an 
increased demand for this kind of products. 
MISCELLANEOUS.—The leading miscellaneous products show a con- 
siderable decline in the values exported, but, asin other articles, this de- 
cline is due largely to a decline in prices. Hops, for instance, are dou- 
bled in quantity; cotton-seed oil nearly tripled; oil-cake, starch, and 
cotton-seed show an enormous increase. On the other hand, refined 
sugar, molasses, tobacco leaf, and a few other items show a marked 
decline. The following table shows the distribution of our miscellaneous 
exports:
