WASHINGTON, May 2l-The fiscal
year 1900 continues to break all records in
the matter OF expectations. April Is an
example of this fact. The total exports In
April, as just announced by the treasury
bureau of statistics. are Sis. s26 5a1. which
Is $50 00,000 more than in any preceding
year. ss0,0o00o0 more than April OF last

before has April. which Is usually a light
export month, reached the yl0o,0 600 mark
in its exports.
Every branch Of industry lends its aid 10

month Of April have not yet been SUM-
GENTLY analyzed to show the exact In

those for the month of March shows that
agricultural exports In that month were
Ns,ooooo greater than in the correspond

were $4,000 in excess OF the correspond

The advance in prices OF cotton, corn,
