Objekt: Modern art education, its practical and aesthetic character educationally considered : being part of the Austrian official report on the Vienna world's fair of 1873

The National Bureau of Statistics gives the following figures for 
the year ending June 30, 1874 : — 
TOTALS. 
Domestic Exports (currency value) $093,039,054 
Foreign Imports (gold value) 595,861,248 
BREADSTOFFS. 
Exports $161,307,864 
Imports 13,042,771 
In the case of breadstuffs,— tliat is, of wheat, corn, barley, and

PROVISIONS. 
Exports $78,348,225 
Imports 4,904,824

COTTON MANUFACTURES. 
Exports $3,091,332 
Imports 28,183,878
