EGGS ; AN ARTICLE OF EXPORT 



A method of preserving EGGS, by packing them in alt

 country where these abound, to make them profitable. 

 Thousands of bushels may be sent off to the Atlantic 

 markets. Great quantities are used in France ; and as 

 the duty on them in England is so low, (not two cents 

 per dozen,) they might bear exportation. They have

 T>er bushel ; which, as a bushel contains forty-five dozen, 

 is but two cents per dozen.

 growing districts,) and the United States, to England. 



From Poland to Dantzic, the grain is chiefly brought 

 from the interior in flatboats of the rudest construction, 

 similar to those in use on the Western waters of the 

 United States, at an expense of twenty-five cents per 

 bushel, open to the weather, etc. During the voyage the 

 wheat sprouts, and forms a thick mat or covering for the 

 bulk. On reaching Dantzic, the boat is broken up and 

 sold, the wheat taken out and dried in the fields, then 

 stored in the warehouses at an expense of six cents per
