1900 should witness severe reaction and re- turn to a more normal level. The decline was gradual and the year closed about g per cent below the top point touched the twelve months previous.
 The closing year of the century was a remarkably satisfactory one for farmers and planters, notwithstanding the fact that some sections harvested smaller crops than in preceding years. While the south pro- duced less cotton than in the two previous record-breaking seasons, prices were the highest in ten years and the net profits made on plantations were enormous. Spring wheat states lost much grain, but Kansas and other large winter wheat growers made big crops and the average was high. in fact, the cereals were all abnormally advanced until there occurred a natural loss in exports, so that Russian ports were unable to secure much foreign trade that had belonged to American producers. Corn was put up to within fraction of 50 cents and speculative manipulation forced the Chicago price still higher. These opera lions had a naturally deleterious effect on expertation, and foreign surplus countries reaped much of the benefit from excessive inflated domestic markets.
