treasury. bureau Of statishcs which e
engaged In collecting data from al the
principal countries Of the world, and
comparing the tradeTelationS Of the DIFF
terent countries with the United States.
has Just issued a statement OF consids
cradle interest to- the farming Industries
OF this country, in which It Is shown that
q larger quantity of corn has been exc
ported from the United States during
the eleven months ending with Novem=
Der, 1889, than in the corresponding
months OF any preceding year, and at q
higher rate per bushel than In any year
since 1895.
"The total exports Of corn In the
eleven months ending with November
1899. says the statement, 'were $1sb &c.,
$50 bushels. valued at Tl,7t2,121. while
In the corresponding months of last
year, the 1s5.2sl,s4O bushels exported
only brought sss,5ls,l41. the average ex-
port price in the eleven months of 1883
being 4Oc per bushel, aeslnst SIC in 1893
and sic in the corresponding months Of
1897. That the growth has been steady
and rapid is shown byfa, comparison Of
the flgurOs OF 1903 and 1915 with those Of
1893 and 1884. In 1898 the exports of corn
in the II months ending with Noyem-
Der were 4s,6eG.1sS bushels, ana In 1894,
s7,slO,2s2 bushels. the total for 1898 end
1893 being more than four times as much
as that OF 1898 and 1884,
1t is shown that the growth In corn.
meal Is equally rapid, the exports dur
ing the eleven months OF 1898 and 1S94
being respectively 285,21 and 2SI0s5
barrels, while in the eleven months OF
1888 and 1899 the figures were respec'
lively, T73.Os3 and 79S,1l1 barrels. or an
increase In 1893 over 1883 Of 547,S42 bar
rels, and an increase in 1893 over 1894 OF
561,O16 barrels
Most OF the corn exported goes to
Europe, says the statement, "and its
popularity seems to be increasing there.
TO the United Kingdom, the expor:s Of
corn In the ten months ending with oc-
tober were in 1899. $685., 800 bushels,
against 81 ,9Sg.16T bushels in 1888; to Ger
many, 35,S0l.109 bushels In the ten
months Of 1888, against Sass 3s1 bush
els In the ten months Of 1895 and 81
472,3SS bushels In the ten months OF 1887;
to France the exports IN 1899 were
slightly less than those Of 1888 or 1897,
by reason Of the unusually large grain
crop In that country, while to other Eur
opean countries tbs exports OF the ten
months OF 1899 were 1896. 44S bushels.
against %, 211 1886 bushels. 10 1898. and
86,s6S. 9ss bushels in the corresponding
months Of 1897.
'sThis steady increase IN the exports
Of corn to European countries. and espe-
ciallY the Increase OF 1899 over preceding
years, Is the more remarkable because
Of the fact that the general supply Of
breadstuRs in Europe in the present
year Is vastly In excess Of che preceding
year, when the supply was unusually
short, and the fact that the demand for
corn continues. In the face OF an In
creased supply Of homegrown bread
stuffs. indicates rapid growth in Its
popularity"
