OUR FLOUR POPULAR
American Article Is Attracting For
eign Attention.
InterestiDx Report from British Con-
sul-General Mt Canton Tells Oh
Great Demand Drought
About by Emigrants.

The popularity of American Hour
in China is attracting attention on
both sides OF the globe. The British
consul general at Canton, In report
sent from China to London and pub
lished In that city. states that the de-
mand for flour among emigrants re-
turned from the United States Is so
great that the quantity OF flour I'M
ported in 1902 exceeded that OF 1901
by 95,831 1928 pounds, and was also
some 78.400.000 pounds in excess OF the
average for the past five years.
These figures of increase in Chinese
consumption Of -four are justified ~
the figures OF the treasury bureau OF
statistics showing expectations OF
flour to China and adjacent ports. In
deed, 1t Is only when the shipments
to the ports adjacent to China are con-
sidered that the rapidity OF increase
in exports Of -four to that part OF the
world Is realized. To China alone,
the exports of American flour have
grown from 1878 barrels in 1902 to
99,624 barrels in 1902. This increase
Of S5,908 barrels is small, however.
compared with the increase In the
shipments to Hong Kong, from which
point most Of the -four there received
Is distributed to the various ports OF
China. The exports Of American flour
to Hopg-Kong in 1892 were 457 $50 bar
rels, and In 1902. 1888 barrels, an
increase Of 941,203 barrels. To Rus
sian China, the exports Of American
flour, which began in 1900, were 1887
barrels, and In 1902 501a0 barrels.
To British China the -four exports
were 375 barrels Grouping the three
statements Of exports OF -four from the
United States to China, to Hong-Kong
and to Russian and British China, the
total for 1892 stands at All ,408 barrels,
and for 1902, 1,549.032. barrels. This
shows an increase OF over 200 per cent.
in the expectation Of American flour
to China and to ports contributing to
the consumption OF China, while the
total expectation OF flour in the same
years was, In 1892, 15,198,769 barrels.
and in 1902. 17.759,203 barrels, an In
crease Of about IL per cent.
From the standpoint OF dollars, II
may be added that the value Of Amer
lean fous shipped to China grew from
$67.441 IN 1892 to 1921 ,252 In 1902; to
Hong Kong, from 2,140071 in 1892 to
$4,164,693 in 1902, while the shipments
to Russian China In 1902 were $l49.-
66s, and to British China, 31.125, max
ing the total value Of -four shipped
from the United States to China and
contiguous ports $2,2O7,512 in 1892 and
81, COG, 739 in 1902: while the total
value of all -four exported from the
United States in the same period fell
from $75,362, 2S3 In 1892 to $65.6S1.o7A
In 1902
