Washington. July (speciaD.-A study ~ the
details OF exports from the United States during
the fiscal year just ended shows that almost every
part OF the world has evinced increased desire
for American products. Europe alone has failed 20
increase the amount Of money paid the United
States for its products. and this Is solely due to
its plentiful supply OF breadsturs in 1899 CON-
pared with 1895 and the consequent decrease IN price
paid per bushel. thus making a slight reduction in
cash receipts from that part Of the world. To
Asia. 10 Africa 10 South America. 10 Mexico Ia
Canada and to the Hawaiian Islands and oceanica
sales have increased In quantity and value as COM
pared with the phenomenal year 1898

year 1899 will be In round numbers 100000.

selling wheat 81 a bushel. while now. with good
crops in Europe and elsewhere. the export price OF
wheat is only about three-fourths that 81 a year
ago and a consequence the countries which wers

purpose somewhat reducing their demands ard
paying smaller prices for that which they purchase.
