SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS.

y Comparative figures and deductions COM
ipiled in the bureau OF labor at Washington
from the latest census statistics MS to
working people In this country, show some
Interesting and Instructive facts, not the
least Of which Ia tho general conclusion
tthat within the past ten years the great
badly Of American workers have. as whole,
progressed and very appreclably risen In
lthe social scale
I. Tho largest proportional increase in the
working forces is found in the higher walks
LOT business and In those occupations which
the upward social progress This has been
accomplished, too. In spite OF the over
Ncrowding OF great commercial centers and
5Jthe steady Introduction of machinery The
bureau statement shows that the proper
Stion OF workers to the whole number OF
ipeople was considerably larger In 1890
than In 1880, indicating more general thrift
%and industry. In one sense II is crafty
sing TO learn that the proportion OF female
workers has Increased much faster than
samong the male sex--grntfying because 1t

Independence as a bread winner, irrespec-
tive OF the conduct OF her liege lord
/ In agriculture. mnlng and fisheries, the
increase among the workers has boon pro-
,portionally the smallest and the fact Is
accounted for on the theory that the young
/. people of the country are rushing in con
.stantly increasing numbers to tho towns
and cities. and. also. the further circum-
stance OF the Introduction OF machinery

coming nation composed OF big towns and
leaving great plantations to be worked by
Fimproved machinery and large capital. OF
course, this is as yet mere tendency. but
fthe tendency IN apparent both on the
farms and In the cities.
In these days of controlled production
and monopoly OF markets by the great
trusts and syndicates 1t is encouraging to
find the busy workers, from the stand
apoint OF the Nation, are increasing. The
general growth OF the Nations industries
land business is such that even the policy
yof repression adopted by the trusts to keep
down production, and the annual laying OF
tof hundreds OF thousands OF workingmcn,
can not stop the gradual swelling OF the
Franks OF labor and the development of our
vast resources. It is possibly these pc
tculiar conditions, however. that are drivins.

Taking figures for the last seven years
the average European consumption mas
been 1,624, go 600 bushels, while the aver
age crop for the same. year has been
J. 405 coo 900 bushels, making the average
deficiency for the seven years 2l9,Oooooo
bushels.
coo bushels, Europe must look to the
United States, Argentina, India and AUS
trail. The Corn Trade News, Liverpool,
estimates the worlds export surplus at
Az. 500 600 bushels. against actual exports
the past season of 1868 2l6,OOO bushels. 1t
reckons that full average crops VIII be
secured in the Southern Hemisphere and
India next season. The crops now being
harvested will, 1t argues, be ample to
carry the trade on until next spring, after
which prices will be governed by sup,

Australia.
AMERICAS WHEAT SURPLUS.
Estimates of the 1897 crop In this country
vary greatly ranging all the way from
total of 450 millions to GOO million bushels.
According to an estimate by the Cincin-
natl Price Current, the home requirements
for the current year may be regarded as
approximately S65, 100000 bushels of wheat,
for food, seed and other purposes. IT,
therefore, the spring and winter crops
amount to $50 600 bushels, the United
States will he able to supply ls5,0O0.00o
of the $50, 900 European deficiency. The
exports of wheat (and -four equivalent
from the United States the past year
amounted to 145,000,O0o bushels. and sup
plies IN the country were D,00o,0OO bushels
smaller at the end of the year than at
the beginning.
The generally accepted commercial esti-
mate of the wheat crops seems to be 550,-
100000 bushels, though figures on the
average value of a condition of 100 for
ten years the government crop report for
August indicates q crop of only 450, 800, 900
bushels. The dispos tfon in the grain trade
is always to accept the government re-
port as the minimum as the sources of
Information are largely correspondents

that an enormous crop of anything is
about to he harvested because of the eff
