OCTOBER EXPORTS.
Special Correspondence.

Washintof. Nov. III.
October exports show q decided ten
dency toward recovery from the depress-
ion due largely to the short corn crop OF
last year and the reduced foreign demand
for other breadstuffs. The total exports
for October were larger than those Of
any preceding month in the history of our
commerce, except October and December,
1900. and October. 1901. Exports of corn
are. of course. less than In October of
last year. by reason of the very great
shortage in corn due to last years drouth.
the total value of corn exported in Octo-
her. 1902. being $734,6S2 against $234S,6 GAO
in October Of last year; while for the
ten months ending with October. the
value of corn exports was So.395,Ol0
against siI,23S 40 in the corresponding
months of last year. In wheat. which had
shown a material reduction in exports
in the last few months when compared
with the extraordinary high figures of the
corresponding months of tie preceding
year. the figures for October show II
marked Improvement, the total value
of wheat exported in October 1902 being
Sl.,i5S,6SS, against $l05l5,4l4 in October Of
last year. While flour exports for Octo-
Der of the present year are valued at So
243.9l4. as against sB.066J61 in October of
last year. Brcadstuffs as whole show
a total of $21.9N0,S02 in October 1902.
against $20. 81 325 in October, 1901. Exports
of provisions and live animals are still
below those of October of last year. the
figures for October of the present year be-

NOT DIFFICULT.

The late Hugh Lane. pastor of Saint
Theresa's Roman Catholic church, often
told a story of a young Dominican who.
meetings by the members of his order,
was given his first opportunity to preach
a. sermon one night when the meetings
We're for men cnly. He began by saying
that he invited questions If any portion
of his sermon should be beyond the COM
prehenson of the big gathering and then
took for his text the feeding of the multi
tude. lie was naturally fustered, and
misquoted as follows:
"And they fed ten people with ten thou
sand loavcs and ten thousand fishes
lie was called to recognition of his error
by the local inn-keeper who shouted:
"Shure. an that's no miracle at all!
OF could do that me silf!
The young priest Went on, needless OF
the interruption, and made such a fine
impression that he was told off to de-
liver the sermon two nights later, when
again the services We're for men. Feel
ing that the theme was capable Of fur
ther elaboration and application, he re-
sumed it. and began:
And they fed ten thousand people on
ten loaves of bread and ten fishes
Then. casting about until he found the
innkeepers fate. he asked, smilingly:
"And could you do that. my friend?''
'Yis." was the prompt answer-"aisily.
