EFFECr OF THE DRoUrH.

The reduction of SO millions in ex-
ports and an increase Of 70 millions in
imports reported by the bureau of sta
tistics can be traced to the destruction
of our corn crop by the drouth of last
year, according to the view Of a bureau
official. Corn has become so impor-
tant a factor in our export trade, both
In it's natural state and in the con-
densed form of beef and pork, that
loss of One-fourth or one-third of the
enormous crop means a great redue-
ton in the surplus In the last four
years the expectation Of corn has aver
aged about 200, O00,0 600 bushels per an
mum. In the present fiscal year it win
not amount to one-fifth of that guam
tity. In the nine months ending with
March. 1902. the expectation of corn
amounted to only "a million bushels,
against 145 sssillion bushels in the cor
responding months of last year. These
are the preliminary figures, but they
do not differ much from the completed
figures which We shall have a fortnight
hence. The value of the corn and corn
meal exported in the past nine months
was but Is million dollars. against IS
millions in the corresponding months of
the preceding year.
But that is not all of the erect of
the loss of the corn crop The shortage
OF corn at home has compelled many
farmers to use a larger share of oats
Ia the feed of their live stock, and as a
result the value of the expectation OF
oats and oatmeal in the nine months
just ended was but AZ millions. against
So millions in the same months of last
year. In these two items of corn and
oats. in which the reduction is wholly
due to the drouth of last year. the ex-
portations have fallen 81 million dol
lars while the total reduction in the
value Of all exports is but SO millions.
Another item which shows a material
reduction in value of exports is cot
ton. yet this is wholly due to a fall in
price abroad and not to a reduction IN
the quantity exported. On the con
trary. exports have increased materially
in quantity. although the value has
fallen.
Thus in corn and oats. in which the
reduction is wholly due to the drouth of
last year, and in cotton. in which the
reduction is due to a fall in prices
abroad and not to reduction in
quantity exported. the reduction in
value of exports amounts to 20 million
dollars, while the grand total OF exports
shows q reduction Of but So millions.

asked to explain the advertisement, he
said:

tiser is a well known local clergyman
and submits his offer in all sincerity.
He does not wish his identity known
because persons might misconstrue his
motives and accuse him of being a SEN
sationalist. He is an earnest church
worker, and believes he is doing right
in trying to curb the growing tendency
of divesting the marriage ceremony of
it's sanctity. That is his only reason
for making the offer he does
Rev. Archdeac0n William r. Jenvey,

when shown the advertisement, said:
