At the convention Of millees at Cincinnati
Mr.. Howard lockwood, editor Of tta Azaers-
can Mail and Export Journal, read . very
valuable paper on the wheat crops Of the
world. 1t Vas very carefully prepared
paper, evidently the result of much Careful
research. The following ID an abstract Of
the address: :: -
In the year 1890 there were exported from
this county 1,124, 458 bushels Of wheat and
724,O23 barrels of -four. Tho year 1879
shows m export of wheat more than one
hundred times greater than 1880, amounting
to 122, 353, 1886 bushels, while tho export of
-four aggregated for the year 5,629, ia bar
rels, or nearly the Same increase. What An
immense Significance ID attached to the
figures have just read. What progress ia
indicated by them! In the year 1880 the
original thirteen States were stretched along
the Atlantic coast, . mere fringe to the
spread over this continent, from ocean to
ocean. These States contained . population
about the same O. the State of Ohio does to-
day.
The exports of wheat seens to have con-
tinued in about the same amounts till the
year 1875, when it fell of to about al 600
bushels, and kept declining till the year
1899, when only 10, 900 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 outof our report in this line, but
1852 bushels having been sent out of the
country. In 1916 there are to be found no
entries Of exports of wheat, and only 1O3, 600
barrels Of -four. From 1916, however, the
-four reports took an advance to over SOO, 900
barrels, and have continued to run up heavy
every year down to the present time, increas.
ing until 1879, year showing an aggregate
of 5,629, 600 barrels, valued at $29, SOC, 600.
Exports Of wheat varied from 1914 to 1910
and 1916, 1886 showing only 2,O62 bushels,
while in 1910 1,720, 600 are recorded. In
1857, the year of the panic, We shipped
abroad IL, SIC, 900 bushels, and in 1862 the
grand figures of S7,8OO,OOO bushels were
reached. It was not until 1873, another
panic year, that the figures Of 1862 were
beaten and doubled, the value being $10l, ;
42l 600. 1873 showed the same result, and
the great year of 1879 showed 122, 353, 600
bushels, valued at $3.50, 7O1 900.
Here Is table showing the average an
nual exports of wheat and -four for each five
years, and the average prices, as far % could
be asoertained, from 1890 to 1879:

Prerequisites of Success.

Integrity Of character and truth in the
inner-man are the prerequisites of success
in any calling. These are attributes
which never fail to command respect and
win admiration. No one fails to appre.
clate them and if they "do not pay" in
the vulgar sense of the phrase, they bring
an amount of satisfaction and peace te
the owner that all the wealth Of Cresus
could not yield.
There is no better stock in trade than
these princi pies; no capital goes so far o,
is SO exempt fnom bankruptcy and loss
When known, they give credit and con-
fdence and in the hardest of times will
honor your paper in bank. They give
you an unlimited capital to do business
upon, and everybody will endorse your
paper and the general faith of mankind
will be your guaranty that you will not
fail. Let every young man upon COM
mencing business, look well to these in
dispensable elements of success and de-
tend them as he would the apple of his
eye. If inattentive and reckless here, he
will imperial everything. Bankruptcy in
character is seldom repaired in an ordi-
nary lifetime. A man may suffer in
reputation and recover; not so the man
who suffers in character.
Be just and truthful. Let these be the
ruling and predominating principles Of
your life and the reward will be certain
either in the happiness they bring to your
bosom. OR the success which will attend
upon all your business operations in life,
or both.

Wheat.
Flour,
ear1

The marvellous increase of the Russian
foreign trade from 1860 to 1874, has been
fully treated on under its appropriate head
ing, it having amounted to 40, 100000
roubies in 1874, of this amount the grain
export especially being valued at $4,000, 900
roubles in 1860, amounted to $4,000, 900 in
1873. During the last war in America the
United States lost ground in the export of
this article, as we'll as in other goods of
American produce. Not further back than
in 1876, the United States supplied only IA
per cent. of the demand of the English
market, while Russia furnished fully A per
cent. of the same. In 1873 this proportion
became reversed, the United States supply
ing A per cent. while Russia furnished only
% per cent. of the same.
A tabulated statement of who are our
wheat and flour customers was presented,
he principal of which are as follows:

Cyclones.

years they have increased in number il

they may not. They follow lines and

DEPRESSION to refer to the remarks made
on the opening day by our friend on the En-
glish delegation, Mr.. Hilbert. understood
him to soy that his people would buy our
wheat, but did not or would not, if they
could help it, buy our flour. Let Us see what
they have done in this line during the past
twenty years. In the year 1859 Great Britain
imported of wheat -four made in this coun-
try $4,000 barrels. During all the years up
to that date there are only two in which the
quantity fell below the figure, while the i'm
portations average far above, reaching In
several years as high as 2,5oO.OOO to 3,OO0,-
GOO, aggregating nearly 25,000, 900 barrels
for the twenty years; the last year, 1879,
showing 1928, 900. TIE British official fig
ures just referred to place the quantity at c.
s63, 600 owls. This does not look as though
our English cousins could stop buying from
Us, even it they wanted to. MI. HILBERT al
90 made the statement that American -four
sold in English markets for less money than
in New York. Did he mention this fact as
being something strange, or simply that il
was . condition of affairs very detrimental
to his interests as British miller Dses
he not know that American millers and
shippers, in placing our surplus -four when
necessary upon British markets at prices
lower than those ruling at home, are doing
only the came thing that British shippers
have always done in every line of goods
manufactured in the kingdom We are apt
scholars, and We were taught long years ago
by our English cousins to throw on other
markets our surplus, and, If necessary, dis
pose OF it at the best sttainable price. just
what margin of profit there is to our millers
at prices now ruling in English markets for
American -four I know not, but have not
the slightest doubt in my own mind that We
will oontinue to ship good supply to those
markets, and IN view Of the fact that We are
constantly cheapening the cost of 1nanufao-
turing BY increasing production and by the
use Of most improved appliances. In view
Of these facts see no reason Why We should
not always undersell, If necessary, any COM
petitions from any quarter.

H0iI Storm at SiOaxD City.

About 3 o'clock yesterday morning ter
rible hail storm occurred at Sioux City, by
which, it is reported, oil the glass was broken
on the west and north sides of every house in
the city. The glass was also all broken
out fronlthe west sides of oaboose cars and
passenger coaches standing on the railway
tracks. AS the windows of the cars are made
of strong plate glass in comparatively small
sheets, the force of the storm and size of the
hail atones may be imagined as terrific, and
Justlty1ng expectations of hearing of greater
disasters than glass breaking, although the
storm is understood to have been confined to
Sioux City and its neighborhood. The size
OF the hail stones may be judged from q
report sent in by an operator at LIE Mars to
the effect that the conductor of the morning
train out from Sioux City, as his train was
about leaving, three hours after the storm,
scooped up bucket full of hail in chunks
which averaged as large as hens eggs. The
shade trees in Sioux City were ''enuded of
leaves and it is feared that all fruit in the
track of the storm was destroyed. The hail
came with torrents of rain, which flooded
the streets and tore up wooden sidewalks.
Further particulars were not obtainable on
account of the telegraph lines in that airee-
ton being almost constantly interrupted by
local storms.

Too Fat to Kneel.

not yield to the temptation. Alas, at

River Division Land Slides,

Another big rain occurred along the Mis-.
sissippi Wednesday night and five land
slides blocked the railway between
Etter and Minnesota. A oonsidera-
bic wash-out also occurred below
Winona and another near Wacouta. The
Chicago passenger train due here at
6 A. NJ. yesterday morning was stopped at
Lake City while the track before it was be-
ing repaired, and did not arrive here until
neatly 4P. II. The train due at 1925 P. M.
was held at La Crosse for several hours, but
probably arrived here last night. The train
out from st. Paul at sos Wednesday even
ing did not reach Winona until 10 A. II.
yesterday, and was stopped by the wash
out below that city, but probably went on by
the North Wisconsin cutoff to La Crosse.
The train sent out yesterday noon went East
by way of Hastings and the & M. division.
Eastern mails were sent out last night by
c., St. P. & M. line, the regular river divi-
sion mail train being suspended. But unless
more storms have occurred the river
division will be all right again to-day.

A Lady's European Outfit.
From An American Girl Abroad."l

From An American Girl Abroad."l
In former times, Americans fitted them
selves out for Europe, as though bound
to desert island. Wider intelligence
and experience have opened their eyes
and reformed their judgment. Still, a
word upon this subject will not be uu-
welcome, l am sure, to girls especially,
who contemplate trip over the ocean.
In the first place, your steamer outfit
is distinct affair. You are allowed to
take any baggage you wish for into your
stateroom; but, if wise, you will not fill
the narrow space, nor incumber yourself
with anything larger than lady's hatbox,
which may offer tolerable seat to the
stewardess, or visitors of coincidence. IN
case sea-sickness confines you to berth
or sofa. Even preferable to this is flat
English portmanteau, which can be
slipped under the lower berth. You can
leave this at your hotel IN Liverpool or
Glasgow, in charge of the headwaiter,
until you return, and thus avoid the ex-
pense and care of useless baggage.
Its contents your own good sense will
IN a measure suggest. Let me ada
double gown or wooden wrapper, in which
you may sleep, fannels (even though you
cross the ocean in simmer, (merino stock
ings, warm gloves or mittens, as pretty a
hood as you please, only be sure that it
covers the back of your head, since you
will ignore all cunning craft hairdressing
for few days at least, and even after you
are we'll enough to appear at table per-
hapaps. Bear in mind that the Nothern
Atlantic is cold place and horribly open
to the wind at all seasons OF the year
that you will live on the deck when not
in your berth or at your meals, and that
the deck OF an ocean steamer partakes of
the nature of whirlwind. Fur is by no
means out of place, and skirts should be
sufficiently heavy to defy the gales which
convert everything into sail. Take as
many wraps as you choose-and then you
will wish you had one more. A large
shawl, or, better, a carriage robe, is indls.
pensible, as you will very likely lie rolled
up like cocoon much Of the time. A
low sea-chair, or common camp hair, 1s
useful to older people; but almost any
girl will prefer seat upon the deck itself
