Falling Off, However, Is
Not a Matter IF Dis
COuragemcnt.
DUE TO TEMPORARY CAUSES
In Only Three Items Is a
Loss Recorded.
GAINS EVERYWHERE ELSE
Corn, Copper, and Iron Affected by Alb
normal Conditions, Exceptions to All
Other Articles of Commerce.

The reduction OF 81 GOO, 600 in the ex-
ports Of the United States for the eight
months ending with February, is not con
sidered at all discouraging by those in
terested in the growth Of our export
trade, nor is it an indication Of a decline
in the general growth Of that trade
On the contrary, in all important arti-
cles except three, in which conditions are
abnort1al, there has been an increase.
The decrease is solely or practically so
in corn, due to the great crop shortage
caused by the drought Of last summer: in
copper, in which prices have greatly fall
en-, and in iron and steel manufactures.
due TO the unusual demand OF the home
market upon our manufacturers. and the
reduced demand in foreign markets.
Corn Meal Loss.
In corn and cornmeal alone. the ex-
ports fall more than $4,000. 600 below
those Of the corresponding period of last
year, while the total decrease in all ex-
ports is but 81 Oh, 5S4; showing that If
corn exports were normal the total fig
ures would show an increase Of more than
100000 over last year, and over the
corresponding period OF any preceding
year.
In iron and steel manufactures. the
figures o. the seven months ending with
January February figures being not We:
available) show reduction Of about SIS
OOOOO0 in exports. this. as has already
been explained. being due to the excessive
demand Of the home market upon our
manufacturers, and the lower prices and
reduced demand abroad.
Increase IN Wheat
In wheat the exports for the eight
months show an increase Of nearly $50
100000 compared with those Of the same
months OF the preceding year; and in
provisions there is an increase OF So
OO0.OOO.
IN cotton the month Of February show
an increase Of over 81 zoo. GOO compared
with February, 1901, though the six
months of the cotton year ending with
February show a decrease Of about 80

Many are not being benefited by the
