BIG CROPS IN ALL LANDS.
Thu. Condition Tends TO Decrease the
Exports of America.

Exports Of America.
Good crops in all the world in the year
1S9S-R will probably make our export
figures for the fiscal year about to end a
few million dollars less than those OF the
banner year 1893. For the eleven months
of the fiscal y%er 1899 the total exports
are $l,13O,G29.577. while in no earlier
year except lSsS did the total exports of
the eleven months reach the billion dollar
line. The reduction in eNpnrtation is en-
tirely in agricultural products, and. i'll.
deed. the total exports of farm products
of agriculture are nearly $D,00O,0O less
than these of last year.
In 1S9S the crops in all parts of the
world except the United States were UNI
usually light, AMI as u consequence the
prices realized for farm products exported
were much higher than the average for
many years, while IN 1S9A with good crops
abroad. the prices which Nlr exporters of
farm products are receiving are materially
ln"cr than these of last year. though il
quantity the exports Of agricultural pro
ducts are in most cases as great as those
of 1888.
One curious feature il the reduction OF
our expectations relates to live cattle, il
which the expectations of the year are 2.
per cent below those of the corresponding
months of 1888, the total for clever
months being $24,4S4 500. against $32,
3J2,S333 last year.

Much v .lua;,e' Property.
Mob rule held sway on the south sida
in Cleveland, Chic, Tuesday night Tor
more than an hour. A mob Of 5000 per-
sons attacked the Holmden avenue car
barns of the Cleveland Electric Railway
Company and rushed through the yard,
which contained sixty cars, destroying ev-
-erything in sight until driven out by tho
police. The moi succeeded in wveckin:
ten cars before being compelled to retire.
Heavy timbers were driven through win
.dows and woodwork, stones and clubs
We're used until the cars were completely
demolished.
The mob had a double purpose i'll view;
its intention was to injure us much as
possible property belonging to the Big
Consolidated Company and to do bodily
harm to the twenty-five non-union men
diving at the barns. In the first it was
successful, but in the second it was not,
owing to the arrival OF the police.
The first outbreak took place ut Will
son avenue aud Quincy street. Obstruc-
tons had been placed on the track and
Motorman Webster left his car to remove
them. One hundred men then began to
stone him and the conductor OF the car,

The motorman stood his ground. A riot

whereupon Webster drew his revolver
and fired, but missed his assailant. Other
attacks were made on him, but after he
had fred several shots the crowd retreat

foot. The police then arrived.

strikers presented their demands in writ

pared with the original ones, several con
cessions being made.
-Four hundred employees of the Cleve

ternoon because the company refused t
discharge IL man who had ridden on

foreman. When it became known that b
had ridden on n cur the molders went t
the officers of the company and demande
his discharge. The officers refused t
comply with the demand and all the me
