THE MONEY MARKET.
SUNDAY May 1s--P. VI


The report of the Bureau of Statistics Of the ex-
ports of breadstufs provisions, etc. in April makes
a comparison with the same month of 1888 that is
less unfavorabie than was the result of the move
ment in March. OF breadstufs the exports in April
only 20S 900 less than April sS3, and were
$2,349,00O greater than in April, 1882. OF pro-
visions, the exports were respectively $2.3l2,OOO
and 81 ,O07 900 less than IN April. 1883 and les2
So that the net result of both breadstufs and pro-
visions is that the exports in April of this year are
20 10000 less than in April, 1888 and 81 100000
greater than in April. 1882 Live stock however,
this year shows increase the month Of 1883 OF
$4,000. The bread3tuff movement of April was
$1S00,000 greater than March. That increase,
however, was more than made up by gains Of
$1,s34, 900 in wheat, 1892 600 in wheat Hour
and $4,000 in rye The export of corn was
100000 less than in March. The wheat move
ment in April was stimulated by the sharp decline
in prices here. In April, 1888 the export of
1866, SOP bushels of wheat valued at
$467j, 40 or 81 l77s per bushel in March 1884
4,250,3S5 bushels were valued at S4,3S7,5l4, or
81 O3 1-3 per bushel, and last month 6,l14,526
bushels was valued at 1921 ,63j, or 81 Ola per
bushel The small difference between the value per
bushel in March and April of this year when the
actual decline in prices was from 10 to - cents per
bushel seems 70 indicate that the April movement
was largely for American account consi gned TO a
market TO be sold for what it would bring. Ii ism
teresting to note, however, that at the value per
bushel Of April 1888, the quantity sent outin APRIL
1884, would have reached valuation of S7,22O,-
600 instead Of S. 221 $50. The difference in price
made total difference Of nearly $1,000,000 These
figures indicate total exports for April OF about
Tj5, 00O,00O against $50. $50, 600 in April, 1888
and $J7, 952, 0G0 in A Pri 1882.

number OF churches should be forty eight instead OF

South Dakota's Purpose.

Dakota siftings:-The complexion Of
the next territorial legislature is the
leading question in South Dakota poll
tics. 1t is evident that an effort will
be made by South Dakota to gain con-
troll Of the next legislature, and undo
the work of the capital commission,
thus saving any further litigation on
the question. Thepeople of the section
are nearly all favorable to Delegate
Raymond except a few kiokers who
have been unable to control the APP
pointments. The prevailing sentiment,
however, is to send delegates to the
Pierre convention unpledged to any
candidate, and have South Dakota
unite, if possible, on some available
man, but the old rings are BEGINNING tc
