Imports of Eggs. 



The increase in the imports of eggs in 1895 must be mainly 

 credited to "Russia, the northern ports of that country sending 

 62 per cent, more than in 1894. The quantities from France, 

 which fell off so remarkably in 1894, were somewhat larger 

 in 1895 than in that year, but were still below the shipments 

 in 1893 by over a million great hundreds. Belgian exports de- 

 creased, being last year less than those of France ; the shipments 

 from Germany were slightly larger. Of the " other countries," 

 Canada and Morocco, although not of great importance, are yet 

 interesting countries of export on account of the rapid develop- 

 ment they exhibit ; the former sending 436,903 great hundreds 

 (most of it in the later months) against 254,595 in 1894, and 

 Morocco 58,470 against 21,683 great hundreds.
