ports for the fiscal year 1898 will be more
than double those of the fiscal year 1897;
while the increase in flour will be nearly 80
per cent. and of corn nearly so per cent. in

having increased materially, while those Of
beef, either fresh, canned or sailed, have
failed to show any increase, in most cases
decided falling off being noticeable. The
