Even the figures of S6O. .9S3412 for the month of October, 1903, are subject to a slight prospective increase, as this prelimin~ ary statement of the Bureau of Statis- tics does not include the figures Cf cer- tain distant rorts through which small quantities are exported.
 It should not be understood from the above statement that the value of cot ton exports of the United States aver ages $2,OOO, 900 per day the year around, although they have averaged $2000, C0C per day during the month of October. Taking the entire year. however, il may be said that the value of cotton exports now averages $1,C00, GOO per day for each business day o1 the year In the F months ending with l October, 1903, the total value of the 1 cctton exported was $32O, ,4C6314. and ir the fiscal year ending June 30. 1903 was $316, 1SO,429.

THE HOUSE.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The house will meet Tuesday.
