Export Trade. —The war has had no apparent effect upon 
the export trade in horses except to increase prices. Up to the 
first of June the statistics at Washington show that for the pre¬ 
vious eleven months we exported 46,707 horses at a total value 
of $5,620,150. If the exportations in July are an average we 
shall have an exportation for the year of over $6,000,000. For 
the previous period the figures were 35,925 horses at a value of 
$4,332,381. This is a highly satisfactory showing. When to 
this is added the large purchases by the Government of horses 
which will go to Cuba and Porto Rico which will never come 
back to this market, it is safe to say that the day of returning 
prosperity for the breeders is at hand. So far as Kentucky is 
concerned the surplus common stock is practically all gone and 
with it out of the way there must be an advance in price of all 
the grades. Farmers will make no mistake next season in 
breeding their best mares to good sires. But if they want to 
breed remuneratively they should breed to well-bred trotting 
sires of good size and handsome individuality. If they do not 
get a fast trotter they are likely to get a handsome carriage 
horse or roadster and in either case it will pay them .—{Spirit of
