Of Nineveh OF their impending doom. In the
time OF Jonah the city became exceedingly de-

IMPORTING COUNTRIES

There is, therefore, the enormous de-
ticiency of 1873, 100000 bushels to be ex-
ported from America. The principal de-
pendence, OF course, will be upon the
United States, for the South American
countries, although famous wheat grow
ers, have but little for export when com
pared with the vast whole. The maxi
mum export of Chill is about 100000
bushels, and that Of the Argentine Re
public little over 100000 bushels. so
that the United States and Canada will
have foreign market this year for near
ly III, 100000 bushels of wheat. The
greatest export from the United States
for any one year since 1879 was 1913, 0OO,-
600 bushels, which was exported in 1880.
In 1881 the export was 151, COOS 900: in
1883, LOG, 100000; in 1887, I02, 900. 600.
In other years the total export varied
from 50,000,O00 to 95.0OO,O0O bushels.
It seems clear, therefore, that large as
our crops are in nearly every part of
our country, there will be strong de-
mand for every bushel for export, and at
Practically our own prices.

The " heat Outlook.



Every computation made shows the
wheat crop of Europe is far short of the
average this year, while our crop is an
excellent one. There will, therefore, be
a very strong demand made on us for
food products for the coming year, and
our market is sure to be active. The
gold that has been going away to Europe
IN such a prodigious stream for some
months past, must soon come back, and
the indications are that it will come far
more rapidly than it went away.
William E. Bear, Of New York, has
lately published a summary Of the crop
conditions in all the wheat producing
countries. Mr.. Bear is reported to be a
very conservative statistician, and his
figures have attracted very general at
tention in the east. He finds that the
crops in all the wheat-exporting coun-
tries of the old world, without exception,
is far below the average. The figures
showing the probable export for these
countries for this year are as follows:

Few people realize what the produc-

agricultural county OF Washington, is,
says the Garfield Enterprise. Under
the present system of utilizing it's re-
sources 1t is now probably producing
one-half of what it is capable of dong,
but who's large farms are subdivided
fruit is grown more extensively, and the
country is in more thorough state of
cultivation, the increase will be many
fold. This year the county will export
about $S,760,500, divided as follows !:
l0,0O0,0 900 bushels of wheat at Is cents,
S7,5O0,000; 100000 bushels cf barley at

bushels of fax at 81, 100000; 10000
