LONDON, July 15.-The Standard says:
"The Chicago fair will be the biggest

has just claims to occupy the responsible
position towards the fair which the gov
ernment has just assigned it, in view of
the fact that it was largely instrumental
in bringing about the London exhibit

OUR EXPORTS ON THE INCREASE.

Foreign Demand for Breadstuffs, Min
eral Oils and Cotton Growing.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The bureau
of statistics has issued bulletin relat-
ing to the exports of breadstutfs, min
eral oils and cotton for the month of
June. 1t appears that during the month
of June the total volue of breadstuffs
exported was $13, 199, ,494, as compared
with $40, 0,845, oil for the corresponding
month of last year. The increase shown
for the past month is $2,264 900. How
ever, all the total exports of breadstuffs
for the fiscal year ended June 30shows a
falling off of little over $4,000, 900 as
compared with the previous year. 1t is
thought, however, that the export of
breadstuffs for the coming six months
will be largely in excess of the expOrta-
ton for the same period during the re
cent year, because of the great demand
which is already apparent for the month
of June.
In the expectation of mineral oils
during month of June the bulletin
shows tn, u N,039,524 worth was sent
abroad. ng the twelve years ended
June 30 there was exported mineral oils
of the value of $51 ,313, ,454, an increase
of nearly one million over the previous
year.
The export of raw cotton during
the month of June amounted to 17S, 1874
bales. of the value of $S,647, 1886, and in
crease over the shipments of cotton dur
ing the corresponding month of 1890 of
10S, 76l bales, and an increase in value
over June, 1890, of $4,940,5 ,529. During
the past year the expectation of cotton
has been 5,6S7, ,522 bales, valued at $2S3,-
566, ,S13, showing an increase in the num-
Der of bales over that of the previous year

SHORTAGE IN RUSSIAN WHEAT
The Crop This Year Will Be About &c.
OOO,O Bushels Short.

New YORK, July 15.-According to
an article published in the New York
Times the outlook is for failure of the
Russian wheat crop-.an utter lack of a
surplus for export. The average annual
export of wheat from Russia for four
years past has been about 00,000,000.
In reply to a cable inquiry by Brad
streets, word was received Monday
that reports of the failure of the Rus
sian wheat crop are exaggerated, and so
far are without any effect upon the
wheat markets abroad. 1t is added
that the probable Russian wheat surplus
for export is likely to be about GA 600, 900
bushels. or little more than two-thirds
of the average for four years past.

Nine Inches in Size


SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Mrs. Lucy
Pratt, young widow, Monday sold
forty-tive square inches of her skin for
800. A strip of skin nine by fine inches
was cut from her body and grated into
the leg Of William A. Dagget, railway
mail clerk who was frightfully injured
in the railway accident at Port Costa.
His right leg was frightfully burned and
the wound would not heal, and as a
last resort skin grating was resorted to.
W. G. McGregor, a fellow clerk of the
sufferer, volunteered to make the sacri-
fee, but when he learned the amount of
skin needed, backed out. Mrs. Pratt is
one of the trained nurses at the hospital
for children and training school for nurs-
es. She has three children and needed
money, so she offered 70 furnish the nee
essary amount of skin. She submitted
bravely to the operation which was sue
cessfully performed.

J. T. Powers, of 344 Sherman street,
while he holds no receptions to which
are invited all people of artistic tastes,
is an artist of more than ordinary abil-

gems in the way of landscape painting.
One of them is particularly attractive to
all lovers of Irish scenery, and under
the title of the Trout Lake of Killdr-
ney" gives delightful view of the far
famed Lakes of Killarney. The other is a
view of the Alps from COrinthia, a sma
town in Austria, and is quite as beauti-
full as the other. Both are real works
of art and betray the possession of more
than mediocre talent in the painter,

no respect disappointing to those who
expected to hear productions equal to
those of the boys of Harvard or Yale.
The lively strains of the banjo and
guitar, and the mirth-prOvoking college
songs, furnished the occasion with
gaiety, and at the same time pleased the
classic ear. If the reports from else
where are to be believed, this years
concert promises to fall nothing short
of the last.
