Of dead animal matter, pork and its preparations constitute about 

 three-fifths of the total value. The average export values are more 

 than 20 per cent, below those of 1878, but the great increase iu quan- 

 tities brings the aggregate value nearly up to the previous year. While 

 the exijort of lard in quantity has fallen off 4 per cent., bacon and hams 

 have increased 24 per cent., pork 18 per cent., and lard oil 20 per cent. 

 The United Kingdom takes larger quantities of all kinds except lard, 

 the increase in bacon and hams amounting to nearly a hundred million 

 pounds ; yet her total values have fallen off about 6 per cent. France 

 falls off' about one-fourth in her total value, and in her quantities of 

 bacon, hams, and lardj she ha§ trebled her quantity of pork, and 

 doubled that of lard oil. Germany reduces her aggregate value nearly 

 10 per cent., but increases her quantities of all articles, except lard oil, 

 which has fallen to about one-twelfth of last year's export. Belgium 

 and Netherlands are liberal customers in this line, their aggregate value 

 of exports having increased in spite of the heavy decline in prices. 

 They enlarged their demand for bacon and hams about 60 per cent. ; 

 for lard, 12 per cent. ; for pork, nearly 80 per cent. ; and for lard oil, 

 nearly double. With other European countries our trade has enlarged 

 about 40 per cent, in total value, aU the items in the table showing a 

 heavy increase in quantity and a smaller increase in aggregate value. 

 Our trade with Europe foots up $71,412,971, against $77,748,718 last 

 year, a loss of about 8 per cent. Yet there is a very large increase in 

 quantity in all except lard, which falls off about 10 per cent. 



Our trade with British North America falls off about one-fourth in 

 total value, and also declines in the quantities exported. With Mexico, 

 Central and South America, and the West Indies, the aggregate value 

 of exports also decreases, though the quantities are enlarged, except in 

 bacon and. hams, which show a considerable falling off. The trade to
