CAUSE OF THE DECREASE
FALLING OFF IN EXPORTS OF WHEAT
EXPLAINED.
District Judge Stewart Taken ~ While
on the Bench Yesterday
Morning.

Galveston. Texas, January 1o-Exporta-
lions OF wheat hsve fallen of very greatly
at Galveston during the past two months
and thus far this month there has been
scarcely any movement at all 1t Is said
that the port Of Galveston has not been
the only port which has suffered in this
respect and that the exports of this pro-
duct from New Orleans and other ports
has also greatly decreased recently. The
decrease is attributed 10 two causes. one
being that the short corn crop and the
failure Of the grain crop in Mexico has In
creased the demand at home The other is
the light demand In Europe growing out
OF the fact that there Is already a good
supply OF American wheat In Europe Dur
ing the latter part of last season aud the
early part Of the present season the ex-
PORTS of wheat from Galveston exceeded
raose Of any other time In the history
OF the port, When the present season open
ed II was thought that the exports OF wheat
would exceed that of any previous season,
put this expectation will not be realized.
