against $5S4.SOO,OOO in 1901. These

exports from $1.260 100000 in the first
ten months of 1901 to 81, 1863 900, 900 in
the same period of 1902. This is a de-
cline of $70,000000 in ten months, of
which nearly $4,000, 900 were in bread
stuffs. The total decline in corn ex-
ports was $57, 100000, showing how i'm
portant factor last years corn dam
age proved in our foreign trade as well
as in our domestic markets, some of
which are still showing the effects of
scarcity. At the same time, out ex
port trade is still far ahead of ordi-
nary years, and it is only
when comparisons are made with the
phenomenal years of 1900 and 1901 that
the results are unfavorable. Our i'm
portations continue large, especially of
semi manufactured products which en-
ter as raw materials into other pro-
ducts, showing that our industries
continue very active. The future of
business largely depends upon the
crop situa ton, provided the monetary
outlook is secure. Recent conditions
have been very favorable to the grow
ing crops, affording considerable COM
pensation for the early losses in win
ter wheat.
Speculation on the Stock Exchange
has been checked by tight money and
the coal strike. There has been no
deep-seated fear concerning the latter,
because it is not thought the miners
have good case.
A coal labor war has just commenced
and is not likely to end until it be-
comes a bore to the strikers, and that
may not be for some time to come. As
an offset, however, to this unfortunate
outcome of the recent negotiations be-
tween the coal representatives and the
miners the good news comes from Eu-
rope this morning that the Boer war
in South Africa is about to come to a
close,

There is no economy in "skimping''

must feed the plants generously.
Chemists tell us that too much nitro

to vines at the expense of the roots.
This means that while you have a
small percentum of nitrogen you should
have, must have, a liberal supply of
phosphoric acid and potash.

Little Business at Manchester.

Manchester, May 1S.-Special encour-
aging features were lacking from the
cloth market during the past week, and
the depression continues. The turn
over was small. There was consider
able Indian inquiry, but the offers were
mostly not acceptable. The inquiry from
China was dormant, but an occasional
inclination to meet the views of buy
ers was noticeable. Shippers to some
Mediterranean and South American
ports purchased standard articles more
freely during the week in order to
keep up their supplies. The demands
of the home trade were fairly satisfac-
tory.
Yarns were somewhat easier during
the week and business was confined
chiefly TO small miscellaneous quanti-
ties for quick delivery.

University College of Medicine
Decides Not to Subject New
Students to This Experience

Tie faculty of the University College
Of Medicine has decided to make sweep
ing change in the first years course OF
study at that institution.
This was done with view of arriving
at a greater degree of thoroughness on
the part of the students in the subjects
taught the first session.
Tie course of study at the University
College of Medicine takes four years.
This is a recent thing, last year being
the first under the new order OF things.
But the extension of the time has given
the faculty wider latitude in the arrange
men. of classes. as well as the opportu-
nifty to extend the course Of study. here
tcfore when a student was matriculated
at the University College he was given
fi"e studies. and he pursued these until
tie close of that session. Anatomy was
one of the five. But it is now proposed
that two and not more than three studies
shall be taken at first. and these shall
be thoroughly mastered and examinations
given on them before any others are
taken up.
Anatomy will not be taken up at least
until the latter end OF the session This
has been one of the first subjects a med
zeal student encountered upon entering
this and a number of other colleges.
The first thing that a green and timid
country boy was put next to- was q
dead body to dissect. It is often one of
the most trying experiences of his life,
and not few of the frst-year students
are made sick as soon as this naturally
iisa greea hle work begins It is always
some weeks before they get used to it.
Ent next session frst-year students Will
get used to college life and by degrees
learn about and accustom themselves to
this work before they actually get into it,
