Outside of an increase of nearly

ports of wheat, there was decline in
our shipments of barley, corn, oats
and flour; the aggregate loss in value
for the month slightly exceeded
SO, 100000. Taking the total values

The first table shows that our ex-
ports of cotton last month were 8,931,-
225 pounds less than in February,
1894, but the loss in value reached
S5,369,171. Taking our exports of
cotton for six months since the Cor
man tariff became law, as shown in the
second table above, we find that since
the wall CT protection was broken
down we have exported almost 612,-
900, 600 pounds of cotton more than q
year earlier, but at loss of $10.579,-
900, the money paid for the larger
quantity shipped this season being
that much less than WAS received for
the smaller quantity a year ago, owing
to q decrease of almost two and

value. Looking next to our exports
of breadstuffs, we give the figures and
