Mr.. Thomas G. Scott, writing 10 the London
times, estimates the money value OF the deli

alent To s2p5, 900 600. This is equal to loss
Of about S25 per acre on the land under cutiva

mates, most authorities fixing the require

above data we may conclude that We shall re-
duire two-thrds Of our breadstufs from
abroad, equal To ~, O0o, 900 quarters OF wheat,
for tho cereal year Of 50; and ~ our har-
vest must be now nearly q month behind the
usual time OF ingathering, and consequently
a months extra consumption have to be pro-
yided for. 1t ID not unlikely We may require a
million quarters more"
The New York Graphic says:
Eleven mining companies appear In the list
OF dividend payers last month against ten IN
July. OF these are the Argenta, Martin
White. and Nopa Consolidated quicksilver.
The gap Is filled BY the Bodie Consolidated.
Queen. This is the first dividend ~ the Bo-
die since last January. This dividend was
paid on the first of August. and another divl-
dend Of just half the amount was paid on the
dend Of the Indian Queen was paid IN Decem-
Der, 1878. This mine has paid only three divl-
dends. The sum total disbursed In dividends
in August last was 1922, 5000, against 81 ,3OS,-
900 II 1873. Last August the Bodie paid not
only its regular dividend, but two extra ones,
the three aggregating 100000.
Tho official figures just Issued from the
Treasury Department of the exports and il
ports for the fiscal year ending June 30,
shows the balance OF trade tn our favor was
In roundI numbers 1894, 100000 against $751;
100000 for 1377-'1S, an Increase Of nearly seven
millions. The exact figures Of the years

The exports of coin and bullion for the year
were twenty-five millions as against twenty
millions of imports. SO that the balance 81
trade In our favor must have been made good
by the return OF bonds and the expenditures
OF Americans travelling in Europe; in what
proportion 1t Is OF course impossible to discov-
e. The fact Is important, we sent out OF the
country five millions more coin and bullion
than we received. or the articles Of mer-
chandse imported sugar takes the lead. a.

last year. Coffee comes second. with falling
of from last year Of $2,000,0o0 worth. The
imports of tea fell off 2 per cent. There
was All Increase In the imports of the luxuries,
such as silks, diamonds, laces wines, etc,
said to be q sure indication OF better times.
The largest increase in expectation was Of
wheat, which increased from o6, 600 bushels

wheat flour increased 10 per cent, horned
