The world's product of wino last ysar amounted to a little over 3,000,000,000 gallons, coming mostly from France, Italy and Spain. California furnished 19,875,000 gallons. Tiie growth of egg importations into England during the last twenty yeara bas been remarkable. In 1864 the value of the eggs imported was $4,000,000, while in 18S8 it had risen to $1.5,000,000. This growth will be maintaíned unless som („hing is done to extend poultrykeepin# in England. Bird seed forms a considerable item in the export trade of some of the Moorish ports. Tbns from Laraiche last year in a total export valued at L60,791 the bird secd exported was valued at L5,970, and the quantity was 3,457 quarters. In 17 the quantity was 4,018 quarters, and the value L8. 11 i. Buttkp. and cheese are the chief exports oL Holland. In 1887 sho shipped about 173,323,600 pounds of butter, valued at 25,575,635, and 67,482,000 pounds of cheese, worth $4,381,743. Most of the butter and fully one-half of the cheese went to England, and the remainder to France, Hamburg, the United States and other countries. It is estimated that the exports of artificial butter during the Jast two years have far exceeded those of the natural product, and this year will show a still larg-er increase. Theee certainly must be an enormous markot for American fruit in England when it is known that only one fruitevaporator was eichibited at the recent royal show, and that by a Germán manufacturer. The new Strawsonizer, or spraymg machino, also attraoted great attention; but Amprican implement manufacturers who looked into it wcre not as enthusiastic over this new innovation as the English trade have been. The invention is being injurod from the American stand-point by being worked as a big financial scheme. CoMPAi:.VTivr:r,y little buter is manufactured in Italy, and the consequence is a largo uso of the artificial producís. These are imported from France, America, Germany, England and the Netherlands. The domand íor butter has becomo so important in Europe, South America, Australia, India, Japan and even China that, with the under supply of the real article, it is necessary to manufacture something nalogous to it. Again, these foreign markets will pay only ljwprices, so that they don't afford as muoh of an outlet for the surplus of good American butter as would otherwise be expectcd.
