The biggest thing in middle Tennessee
is the phosphate boom, which is enriching
scores of worthy farmers. Enormous de-
posits of phosphate rock are found in
several counties of that section, notably
in Maury and Hickman counties. 1t is
richer than the phosphate found either in
South Carolina or Florida, and exists in
inexhaustible quantities. The existence
of this rock was known in 1895, but the
recent boom in prices has set everybody
wild to own phosphate beds, and lands are
changing hands at $500 per acre and up
ward. A great deal of the stuff is being
shipped to Europe. In the crude state 1t
is worth about SO ton, but after treat
ment with sulphuric acid it becomes the
guano of commerce, and sells at $12 to
SIS ton, which means an enormous prof

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BR
Balance In Favor OF United states
$3.50, 900, O3s.


S53O,3OO,O3s.
The nations balance sheet for the year
ending in June shows increases in the for
eign trade that, all things considered, are
marvellous. In spite of war that dis
turbed the run of things, in spite of album
dant crops in other countries, and con-
sequent decrease in the demand for food
stuffs, the total of the foreign trade of the
country reached the enormous sum of
S1,924, 520913, which is S67,000,000
graater than in any previous year in the
cOuntry's history, and the figures show
the United states To be on the right side
of the ledger by the enormous SUN of
$3.50, 1856, OBJ. We sold to other countries
that much more of our product than we
bought of theirs. At the same time we
purchased from other countries SS1 ,027, 734
worth more of their products than we pur-
chased in the preceding year.
The Importance of the showing is here.
Whereas in other years the imports of the
products of other countries have consisted
largely of their manufactured products, in
the year just past the imports have con-
sisted largely of the raw material of other
countries, which we have taken into our
factories, worked into the finished product
and sold back to the countries from which
we made the original purchase.
The figures show the total exports of
the year to be 81, 227 ,443, 425, against
81, 231, 1882 $50 in the fiscal year 1898. The
exports of the year thus fall but 81, 03S, 905
below those of 1898, and are $175, 000, 900
larger than any preceding year except
| 1898. The chief reduction in the value of
exports during the year is in grain, of
which the supply abroad in 1898 was un-
usually short, causing high prices as well
as greater demand for the products of
the grain fields of the United States, the
average price per bushel of wheat exported
in the fiscal year 1898 being 90 80 cents,
against an average of 7477 cents in the
fiscal year just ended. The reduction in
expectations of grain is chiefly in price,
the quantity of wheat exported being but
about 100000 bushels less than that of
last year Indeed, the reduction in wheat
exports is more than Offset by the in
creased exports Of -four, of which the ex-
ports Of 1899 are about 3,000,0 900 barrels
in excess of those of last year, this increase
more than equalling the reduction in
the quantity of wheat exported.

RisIsd His Life for a So Bet.

The Bellows Falls Times tells this story
William Richie, who has been working
in town some time, dived from the Boston
81 Maine iron bridge into the Connecticut
river Wednesday night. Richie had bet
of s. that he could do it and come out
alive. So about 1890 Wednesday night,
with John Pickett to witness, he went to
the bridge, climbed up on the railing and
dived headlong into the whirlpool just be-
low the dam. Pickett felt sure that he
would strike rock but moment later he
heard Richie shout "Hello, Jack" and
went down to meet him.
