The New York Journal of Commerce
has turned current reports from the
corn belt into ridicule by republishing
the dispatches which came from the
same region in the first three weeks of
July. 1900 On the 5th the weather
bureau report affirmed that in portions
OF Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas corn
was suffering from drought" on the
5th the country was advised that corn
needs rain in Kansas and Oklahoma"
On each succeeding day there was a
doleful dispatch that Of the 18th, dated
Kansas City. being as follows:
Corn getting worse and worse: suffer
ing badly and dry area getting larger.
Reports from Kansas dry corn belt are
discouraging. The local showers We're
of temporary benefit only and IN many
fields the corn leaves roll UP under the
sCorchinE rays of the sun. Re-
ports received here today state that the
earth is dry for six inches. All
corn adjacent to wheat fields IS suffer
ing from chinch bugs
But. as the Journal OF Commerce re-
calls. I'm spite of the drouth Of the
early part of July Kansas produced s2.7
per cent as much corn as in the aver
age OF the five preceding years. and Ne
braska produced 100000 bushels
against 224.000.000 in 1899 and 15S 1000. 600

cases an increase over 1900. and that
the decrease is confined to a few articles
and Is due. in some cases at least to
fall in price rather than a reduction in
quantity In illuminating obs, for in
stance. the export figures for the IL
months ending with May, 1901, show a
decrease of four and a half million dol
lars in value, but an increase of nearly
SO million gallons. Two other great ar
ticles of our exports of manufactures
show a reduction in 1901 a. compared
with 1900, VIZ. copper and cotton manu-
features. and these form the chief re-
duction in the grand totals for the year
1901 as compared with 1900 In cotton
manufactures, the reduction is due en-
tirely to temporary conditions in China
The total exports Of cotton manufac-
lures in the II months ending with
May. 1901, are ST, 275,299. against $22,-
0S0.5S3 in the corresponding months Of
last year q reduction Of 81. sos. 2s4; while
an examination Of the figures Of the ex-
ports of cotton cloths to China shows
that they fell from S. 2SS s46 in the IL
months of 1900 to $1,000. 727 in the same
months Of 1900, a reduction Of $52S4.219
in this item alone Thus the reduction
in the expectation Of cotton manufac-
lures is entirely accounted for in this
single item Of cotton cloths to China,
where the reduction is, of course, but
temporary due to the disturbances in
that country during the first half of the
fiscal year The only remaining item
in the list of exported manufactures
which shows a material reduction is
copper. which shows fall of 90, 721,S $40
pounds in quantity. and $11, s49,5lS in
value during the II months ending
with May 1901, as compared with the
same period of 1900. though the value OF
copper exports in 1901 is more than S.
OOO. 900 in excess Of the corresponding
months of 1892
In a large share of the important ar
ticIes of our exports of manufactures,
the figures Of 1901 show a marked
growth over those of the preceding
year and of any preceding year. In
steel rails, for instance, the exports
during II months of 1901 are more than
s.. 600 600 in excess of the same months
of last year; in pig iron there is an in
crease of a million dollars; in bars and
rods Of steel. an increase Of a million
and a half; in electrical machinery,
million and a half; in boots and shoes.
over a million dollars; in cotton seed
oil, nearly two millions: in carriages
and cars, two millions: in chemicals.
more than million: in scientific in
struments, a million dollars.

Exports Of manufactures from the
United states appear to be slightly less
IN the fiscal year just ended than in
the preceding year, the figures for the
Al months ending with May showing an
apparent reduction OF sl4.565. $50. This
statement however. is misleading be
cause the figures of the year 1901 do not
include the exports to Porto Rico and
