The United Kingdom is our largest customer for the class of articles 

 represented in the above table, though her proportion of the total value 

 shows some decline. European countries taken together absorb about 

 the same proportion of our beef products as last year, a little over 70 per 

 cent., and the other parts of the world less than 30 per cent. The United 

 Kingdom takes a little less beef, fresh and salt, but increases her demand 

 for butter, cheese, tallow, and leather. Several minor items also show 

 some increase. France took more beef, butter, and tallow, but the other 

 items fell off. Germany has not yet called upon us for fresh beef, but 

 has increased her demand for salt beef, butter, cheese, tallow, and leather. 

 Belgium and Netherlands take more salt beef, cheese, and leather, but 

 less of butter and tallow. The other European countries take less beef 

 and leather, but more butter, cheese, and tallow. The British North 

 American trade has considerably enlarged on the whole ; all the leading 

 staples were sent out in increased quantities except butter. Our trade 

 with the West Indies shows some decline in total values but an increase
