A comparini Iwith the bunincsa o ! August of lo k-car shows a very favorable cowutii jf the trade of the present Beaso ( fho export ! Q [ J otU fresh A * d salti ; beef have increased sensibly. Tl aluo of the former trade for Augus 880 , being $514,702 , nnd for Augus 831 , 8815,000. , In Bait beef the e iorts for Autntst , 1880 , amounted J180,037 , nnd for the month ji : losed $244,183. For the eitjhtmont Hided August 31 , 1880 , thocxport _ resh beef amounted to $5,057,24 , nd of salted bcof $1,943,535. F ho corresponding period of this yc ho export of fresh bcof amounted ? 5,882,332. nnd of salted beef $1,81 ! WO. It will bo noticed that the tra n salted beef fell off slightly , wh ; hat in fresh bcof increased. Tl may bo in a tncasuru _ accounted f by thn increased facilities for the ( portation of fresh bf-ef , both slaugl srod and living , and the subsidence the pturo-pneumonia scare , win threatened lost season to create a vc damaging nrcjudico against Aineric : attle , anu which still embarrasses t trade , although the Agricultural I partmeiit through its agents in Ei land has niado great effort to rente the apprehension. The total for i ten months ended August 31 , of be 1880 and 1881 , dcmonstntcs the en mous proportions to which this tra lias grown. For ton months endi August III , last year , the exports fresh beef were worth § 0,903,702 , n for the corresponding period , ondi August 31 , this year , it has incrcat to $8,752,381. The foreign trade lioct products does not make quite Ljood a showing.

The exports of hams show a < creaao both in quantity nnd value , 1 ing 4,004,210 pounds last year , woi $471,107 , compared with 4,155 , { pounds , worth $400,385 for August year. In lard the decrease is marki it also fulling from 25,154,228 poun valued at $1,071,505 , during Aug of last year to 11,542,274 poun worth $1,323,720 , for August of t year. In pork the value of the i ports fell from $510,220 , for Augu 1880 , to $403,834 for the correspoi ing month of the current year. 'I falling oil of this trade is no doi due , to a great extent , to the circu tion in Europe of the reports of I prevalence of trichinio in Am eric pork industriously circulated by I manufacturers of German canr meats and sausages. Reports of I commercial atjents received at I State Department show that even official documents in Germany a Switzerland it ban been alleged tl th packers of canned .1 and mini goods in Chicago use the flesh ot a nials that have died of diseases , oven dead horsei in the preporati of their goods.
