RESULT OF THE SHORT CORN cRop.

Europes distributve share of our last crop has
been comparatively meagre, the Treasury Department
statistics of shipments clearly Indicate April exports
Of corn for example but 100000 bushels as com
pared with 100000 bushels IN April Of last year
The falling off is almost equally remarkable when the
entire fiscal year period is considered Corn exports
broke the record in 1900 with 2O9SS2S4 bushels worth
SSo2O6fO0 For 1901 the figures were 17S17965 bush
els worth $S2,527983. considerable increase in the
export price rendered the decrease in value much less
marked that that in quantity below these figures
are the records for the succeeding months of the
rent government year. which exports of but
52l bushels worth s527757 The average export price
will be observed has advanced 60 cents per bushe
as against AGA cents in 1901; yet with this factor in
favor of shippers well be whether the re-
turns for 1902 will foot up onefourth of
the value of exported corn last year
During last April shipments of cattle and hogs to
Europe were valued at S16551S2 as against
for March In the matter of provisions which include
fresh and preserved meats of all kinds exports for April
were s5262526 about 100000 more than during the
preceding month Foreigners no use for our cattle
and hogs at current trust prices but the provision

FOUR MINERS KILLED
Explosion Of Gas in 81 PENNSYLVANIA
COIiiery Causes Tragedy.

Shamoken, Pa, November 29.- Four
men were killed, three fatally and five
seriously injured by the explosion of
gas in the Luke Fidler colliery today.
The dead are: Leon Zekoski, Thomas
Valandi, Charles Maruth and Wally
Sincavitch. All have families.
The fatally injured are: Jesse Copen-
hahafer, William Kelly and Joseph
Broval.
Officials are now conducting an lnVeS-
tigation, but have not yet escertalned
the cause of the explosion. They are
of the opinion, however, that a miner
carelessly opened a safety lamp. The
workings are very gaseous and the BODY
Of gas once ignited swept with a roar
UP the gangWay, carrying death ana de-
struction. Timbers were torn out, mine
cars blown apart and brattices destroy
ed Miners working near the scene OF
| the accident made a rush for the foot
of the shaft and several were overcome
| by the after damp following the expo
| sion. They were rescued by the r7.iel
| party sent at once to the gangWaY. Inc
| faces of the dead men were mdngted
beyond recognition. Wives and moth
| ers gathered around the mouth or the
shaft as the dead and injured We're
| brought to the surface and their srle1
/ was pitiful. The colliery employs l,0O!
| men and is operated by the Mineral
| Railroad and Mining Company.
