Trade and traffic across seas and cattle hides trade report
A sprawling summary notes daily imports of 1,000,000 eggs to London from Italy, a tense match between Chinese and Swedish production, and vast passenger figures for the Tux Pullman Car Company. It covers eel skins demand in Maine, shell bark shipments from Frederick to Eastern points, phosphate lands in Florida, and plans for an ai oringe grove exhibit in New York. Also details Elk Horn mining, coal output forecasts, banana and apple pricing in San Francisco, celery expansion in Michigan, and declining California oil. It cites raw hides exports in 1588 and 40,000,000 oxen and 21,000,000 sheep hides exported in two years, tea trade turmoil in China, Soo canal risk to Lake Superior commerce, and a Philadelphia ramie venture. Bath shipbuilding totals over 1,000 years are quoted, with 3,428 vessels built since 1781 and 1880 projections of 2 ships, 3 steamers, and 28 schooners totaling 84,841 tons.
