Growing Demand for Corn.

A government publication combats
the notion that American corn is not
popular abroad. On the contrary, it
is asserted that it is not only very
popular, but that it is increasing in
favor every year. In support of this
assertion it is shown that in 1891 our
exports of corn amounted to only 3d..
100000 bushels, of the value of ST.
100000. In the fiscal year 1900 the
exports were 100000, 900 bushels, and
in the fiscal year 1901 nearly 17s,oOo,,
