Washington, July 30.-It is now prac-
ticable to determine the effect of the
drouth of 1901 upon the export trade
of 1902. The treasury bureau of sta
tisti:s has just completed it's prelim-
mary figures on the exports of bread
stuffs and provisions, and, as they
show about 81 per cent of the total eX-
ports, d reasonably accurate measure
ment of the eXporta ton of articles af-
fected by the drouth of last year can
now be made. The tables show the
exports of quantities and values of
corn and corn meal, oats and cat meal
wheat flour and other breadStuffs, also
live cattle, fresh beef and other beef
products as we'll as other provisions.
The direct and most marked reduction
of course is in corn, which was most
largely affected by the drouth of 1901.
The expectation of corn at the prin-
cipal ports, as shown by the prelimin-
airy report of the bureau of statistics,
amounts to 26 million bushels i'll the
fiscal year ending June so, 1902. against
116 millions at the same ports in the
preceding year, the value for 1902 be
ing is million dollars, against 81 mil
liens in the preceding year, a reduc-
ticn OF Sc million dollars. The COM
piete figures will probab bly, show the
total exports at about q million bush
els, against Isl million in the preceding
year. Expectations of corn meal have
also fallen from 2 million dollars in
1901 to ] million in 1902, making the
total reduction in corn exports, in
round terms, as shown by the prelim-
mary figures, 67 million dollars. Com
pared with the fiscal year 1900 the re-
duction is still greater. The corn ex-
ports o: the fiscal year 1900 were the
largest in the history of our export
trade, having amounted to 213 123. 4l2
bushels. while for the year just ended
the complete figures will amount to
about q million bushels.
But the effect of the drouth upon the
export trade did not stop with corn,
though in this item it is mcst largely
apparent. The reduction in the guam
tity of corn available for live stock
naturally increased the consumption
of oats and, as a result, the eXporta-
ton of oats fell C.f frcm 81 million
bushels in the fiscal year 1901 to 10
million bushels in 1902. and the value
from about u million dollars in 1901
to millions in 1902. In oatmeal e. =
portations fell from 80 million pounds
in 1901 to 50 million pounds in 1902
while the value fell from "a million
