~. Howard Lockwood editor 81 the Anasrs-
can g. Nat and Ezport Journal, read very
valuable paper On the wheat crops OF the
world. Il was . vary carefully prepared
paper, evidently the result Of much carefnl
research. Ths following u N abstract Of
the address: s
Is the year 1880 there were exported from
this country 1,l24, 458 bushelss Of wheat and
s5124,O23 barrels Of -four. The year 1879
snows an export ofswheat more than one
hundred times greater than 1890, amounting
% 1888 1886 bushels, while the export 81
n2ur aggregated for the year 5,629, ia bar
!els, OF nearly the same increase. What an
l@mense signihcance is attached to the
ngures have just read. What progress ii
indicated BY theml In the wear 1890 the
original thirteen States were strrtchel ALONG
the Atlantic coast, mere fringe to the
mighty government that was afterward
spread over this continent, from ocean "a
ocean. These States contained . population
about tho same as the State Of Ohio does To-
day. 1
The exports Of wheat seems to have con.
tlnued in about the same amounts till the
year 1895, when it fell of to about 141, 200
bushels, and kept declining till the year
1893, when only 10, 600 bushels were sent out
OF the country. After that there seems to
have been gradual improvement to the
year 1907, when 1,173, 900 bushels are on the
records.
The year 1919, however, shows an almost
entire wiping out of our report in this line, but
lisp bushels having been sent out Of the
country. In 1915 there are to be found no
entries OF exports of wheat, end only l03, 600.
barrels of -four. From 1915, however, the
flour reports took an advance to over 500, 900.
barrels, and have continued to run up heavy
every year down to the present time increas-
ing until 1879, q year showing on aggregate
OF 5,629,OOO barrels, valued at $29 800, 900.
Exports of wheat varied from 1914 to $40
and 1916, 1886 showing only 2,06e bushels.
while in 1910 l,720,OOO are recorded. In
1867, the year of the panic, we shipped
abroad 100000 bushels, and in 1862 the
grand figures of S7,SO0,O0O bushels were
reached. It was not until 1873, another
panic year, that the figures of 1862 we're
beaten and doubled, the value being SOL,
421, 900. 1873 showed the same result, and
the great year of 1879 showed 122, 353, 900
bushels, valued at $3.50, 7Ol 900.
Here is table showing the average an
nual exports of wheat and -four for each five
years, and the average prices, as far as could
be ascertained, from 1890 to 1879:

on the opening day by our friend on the En-
glish delegation, Mr.. Hilbert. understood
him to say that his people would buy our
wheat, but did not or would not, if they
could help it, buy our -four. Let us see what
they have done IN this line during the past
twenty years. In the year 1859 Great Britain
imported of wheat flour made in this coun-
try 232, 900 barrels. During Gil the years up
to that date there are only two in which the
quantity fell below the figure, while the inn
portations average far above, reaching IN
several years as high as 100000 to 3,OOO,-
600, aggregating nearly 25,O0O,OOO barrels
for the twenty years; the last year, 1879,
showing 3,629,0 600. Tie British official fig
ures just referred to place the quantity at g.
663, 600 cwts. This does not look as though
our English cousins could stop buying from
Us, even if they wanted to. Mr.. HILBERT al
SO made the statement that American flour
sold in English markets for less money than
in New York. Did he mention this fact as
being something strange, or simply that ii
was condition Of affairs very detrimental
TO his interests az British miller Does

Advices from Anoka to June 16, state
that Rum River is still on the rise, it having
risen four inches last night. Forty or fifty feet
of the slip and the rest Of the pier has gone
out, and it will be hard work to keep the dam

A June 18th dispatch FROM Chippewa
Falls, says that on that morning at o'clock
the Chippewa river had risen to 15111 feet when
the large jam Of logs above broke away and
passed down the river, as they were piled to-
gether in the jam. 10000, 600 feet passed in
two hours, sweeping the river of piers and
booms. During the forenoon 25,O00,00O feet
Of Yellow River logs passed. Over 100000
600 feet passed in the afternoon, which were
stopped at the Dells dam at Eau Claire. The
river was 1914 feet high, and still rising. 1t
was feared that the dam at Eau Claire can
not hold until the river falls. The bridges
and dams on the Chippews are safe as far az
heard from.
