IMMENSE EXPORTS FROM New YoRx--Foon pop
EuRorE.-While many countries in Europe are
trembling at the prospect Of want, arising from
short crops New York is pouring out relief in
abundance from her wharves.
The tables showing the exports from this
port Of domestic produce for the month Of Oc-
'oper having been compiled, we are enabled
70 present some exceedingly interesting facts to
sne public. In times Of peace the examination
OF the statistics Of trade and commerce is work
OF no particular interest to any but those en-
gagged In trafac; but in times like these, when
everybody 10 looking with intense anxiety to-
wards Europe, watching the slightest move
ment and catching with breathless interest
every word uttered by English or French Of
ficials, the results Of such statistics are worthy
OF attention from all. The great question of the
cotton supply has given the utmost concern to
oil the politicians Of England; but many Of them
have now awakened to the fact that food is more
important than clothing, and that their interest
is to be on terms Of amity with the United States
rather than with the rebellious States The people
OF France are even more concerned respecting
the supply Of grain than their neighbors OF
England. The French are more excitable
people, and the least disturbance Of the usual
order Of things, whether it comes in the form
OF higher price for food or in that of scarcity
OF work, drives them to discussion of political
topics, and sometimes to revolution. Notwith-
standing the efforts of the Emperor to furnish
employment and to offer every inducement for
the Importation of grain, want has been expe-
rienced in some quarters of his dominions and
the old cry of "bread or blood" again muttered.
Now let us see how far we are able to relieve
the wants of Europe. During the last month
the exports Of grain and other articles Of do
mestic produce have been very heavy, as will
be seen from the following statistics:-Of wheat
-four we have exported 33l 1902 barrels, and of
wheat itself 4,36o,597 bushels, or an average of
over one million bushels per week throughout
the month. We have exported one-half Of all
the -four received in this city and three-quarters
OF all the wheat OF rye we have sent away
about 100000 bushels more than were received
during the month, the excess being of course
supplied from that previously arrived Of corn,
1921 ,G63 bushels have been sold to foreign
countries.
A comparison of the quantities of some of the
leading articles exported thus far this year with
those exported during the corresponding months
of last year and the year before will also be
instructive. In 1859, between the LIST of Janu-
airy and the LIST Of November, the total number
of bushels of grain exported was only 27s,7Gs,
or about one-iith of the number of bushels of
corn alone exported between the same dates in
1861. In 1860 this number was increased to
1859 1872 bushels, the details of which are as
follows
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1861-11-11

The exports of wheat have, therefore, been
more than double those in 1860, and over two
hundred times those Of 1859. The proportion
Of corn has been one bushel in 1859 to fifty
seven in 1861, and one bushel in 1860 to four
In 1861.
The above statistics tell their own tale, and
show the absolute dependence of Europe ON
America for the necessary food.

AMERICAN LECTURERS IN EuRopE-While the
civil war in the United States has materially

afforded them an opportunity to ply their call

influence of the excitement about the war.
The fanatic Cheever has only recently returned
from England, with his pockets full of gold,
after ventilating his abolition lucubrations in
the fogs of London. Beecher is going to follow
suit, and no doubt will rally around him all the

You know, Aunt Lizzie, the silly

I knew it was silly, l could not help

the GIRLS about when | came back. l
thought that it would be SO nice to be
knealt to on tho beach in tho moon

him, and pity his misery, and all that;
and then I had made up what l thought
tho prettiest speech in reply, telling
him that was very sorry, but [ could

him as friend, and closing by asking
if I had ever led him to think | would
give him a different reply. And L
thought of this so much, that when [

And he was so pleasant and agreeable,
and there wasn't any one else, and L
liked him; so it was easier to make him
think [ liked him better than | did.
SO | never declined any of his atten-

and walk with him, till at last we were
together nearly all the time. 1t was SO
pleasant to have him like me so much,
