THE STRIKE OF MINERS.

PoTTsvILLE, January 29.-lt is reported
this morning that the miners employed at
the Luke Fidler and Cameron collieries, at
Shamokin, had resumed work at their old
wages. An investigation shows that the
company offered the Luke Fuller miners the

work until a similar concession was made
to the demands Of their felow-workmen in
the Cameron colIiery.

It will surprise many people to know
that the value of the hay crop in this
country was greater last year by over
$50, OOO, 900 than the value of the cotton
crop. It was not many years ago that
cotton was king, but grass is a greater
monarch of trade now; bat we keep
our hay at home, while we send our
cotton abroad. OF the total cotton
crop over 20 per cent. was exported; of
the hay crop only $500 of 1 per cent.
was exported. The value of the cotton
crop was PIP per cent of the value of
the entire grain product, yet nearly
81, 000, 600 more of cotton was exported
than of all the grains combined. OF
the wheat crop, 25.8 per cent. was ex-
ported; of the corn crop, 6.5 per cent;
of the barley crop, 11.3 per cent; of
the tobacco crop, about 81 per cent.
There has been no feature of our for
efgn trade so startling as the growth
of the export trade in breadstuffs, as is
shown by the following table, which
exhibits the value of bread and bread
stafs exported every year from 1860 to
the present date:
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-12-12

It is matter of interest to know
where our exported breadstuffs go.
Last year 1921 per cent. went to the
United Kingdom, S.07 per cent. to Cam
ada, 4.21 per cent. to France, 3.42 per
cent. to Belgium, 2.5s per cent. to Bra
iii, 1.76 per cent. to the West Indies,
1873 per cent. to the Netherlands, and
1.72 per cent. to Portugal. To Ger
many nearly 100000 worth was
shipped, and almost as much to China.
The rest of the amount was distributed
among almost all tho nations on the
map-S7.37 per cent. OF the whole go
ing to Europe, 7.s1 per cent. to Next
co and South America, Ill per cent.
to Asia and Africa, and the rest to
Canada and the islands of the sea.
The amount of wheat exported in
1878 was larger than during any prevI-
GUS year. From 1850 to 1860 the aver
age export of wheat amounted to 49,
OH, 1928 bushels; from 1860 to 1870 the
average was SO. 949, O2l bushels; and
from 1870 to 1878 the average has been
60, 149, $50 bushels. The wheat crop of
1873 was larger than that of any previ-
GUS year, amounting to over 100000
600 bushels. The average annual crop
Is increasing very much more rapidly
than is the population of the country.
LII LOW SAo ONeISaSc crop WAS bushels
per capita; in 1878 it was about
bushels per capita.
The exports of Indian corn were also
larger than during any previous year.
From 1850 to 1860 tho average annual
amount of corn exported was 6,453,771
bushels; from 1860 to 1870 it was H.
2S4 ,O35 bushels, and from 1870 to 1878
the average amount exported annually
was 4O,6O6, S3S bushels.
The average export price for wheat
has increased from 81. 20 per bushel in
1870 to $1.34 per bushel in 1873, but
the price of corn has fallen from 90
cents in 1870 to Sc cents in 1878. The
fall In the price of corn is due to in
creased production. In 1869 the crop
was s74, 800 900 bushels; in 1873 it was
1,342 ,55s, 900 bushels.
The reduction in the cost of trans
portation from the harvest fields to the
seaboard has had marked effect in re-
ducing the export price of corn, aud
has been one of the principal causes of
the rapidly increasing expectation.

A friend of ours relates rather
amusing incident and one that goes to
show what difference our Yankee
friends make in their professions and
practice. On the trip Of the Big sun
Flower from Washington to New
Orleans last week, gay party of
ladies and gentlemen passengers were
gathered. Among them was a gentle.
man and lady from Boston. This
gentlemen is government imployee
and often, in conversation, alluded to
the unlawful and uncompromisipp
disposition of Southern people. The
second day of the, trip, party con.
sisting of a man, his wife and children
boarded the boat; a rumor was started
that they were colored, which rumoi
created some little uneasiness.
AT dinner, this new conner sat a,
table. No one of the Southern ladies
paid any attention to it, not wishing
to make themselves conspicuous; but
our Yankee lady Indignantly left the
table vowing that she would not eat at
the same tablewith q niger. The best
part of the joke is that this suspected
lady was not colored, but from one of
the best families in the state. iFtl
After this our Boston friend and his
good wife had very. little to say about
the prejudices of Point
Cbefsee Pelican.
