OUR FARM SURPLUS.
Report Of the Agricultural Department
on the Matter.

Washington, May 23.-The depart
ment OF agriculture has issued a re-
port on The Nations Farm Surplus"
prepared by George x. Holmes. chief
of the division of foreign markets. II
gives $500 900 900 as a conservative
estimate of the value of the farm
products Of this country not fed to live
stock in 1903, on the basis OF the CEN
sus valuation. The value of the ex-
ported farm products of this country
in 1903 was 1878. AIS, 451 and the high.
est value reached during the last IL
years was 1851 .62S,331 in 1901, due
chiefly to cotton. The value of the
exported farm products Of this country
is concentrated mostly in a few prn-
cipal products. or it in 1903 cotton
constituted &c per cent, grain and
grain products 20 per cent, meat and
meat products and live animals "a per
cent. these products equalling more
than IS per cent. OF the exports
OF farm products last year. Adding to-
bacco, the exports of which were val
ued at more than S35 900 900, oil cake
meal $19,S39,279, fruits and nuts more
than S1S,000.00O, and vegetable oils
more than $16.0OO,O0O, gives total of
eight classes of products. each with an
export value of more than $4,000 900,
that comprises almost sc per cent Of
the entire farm products Of 1903.
With recent years, ending with 1903,
the cotton exports have been between
three and four billions of pounds and
the exported fraction of the crop has
between 63 and II per cent. for long
series OF years. The fraction OF the
wheat crop exported in the last dozen
years has been about 81 to Al per cent
and the exported wheat and wheat
flour have yearly averaged somewhat
more than 200,0O0,00O bushels since
1897 before which period for many
years the quantity was usually so 600.
900 to 100,00O,O00 bushels less. Only
small portion of the corn or maise
crop Is exported as corn, the highest
percentage, IL per cent, being for
1898. Notwithstanding the small per-
centage, the exported bushels reach
100 100000 to e0,OOO,OOO The beef
exports weighed $50, 900 900 pounds,
pork exports 55l goo 900, lard exports
490 900 900, oleo oil exports 126, 900 900
and tobacco 36S, 600, 900 pounds. But
ter and cheese exports have declined
decidedly within two or three years.
The report says that within a few
years the results of an enormous ex.
tension of orchard planting will begin
TO appear and some Of these results
may be in much increased fruit sup
plus for export. The exports of ami
NAL matter are losing ground relative
ly with corresponding gain by vege
table matter. Taking up the destna
ton of the surplus, the reports says
the United Kingdom takes about one.
half, Germany about one-sixth and
France. the Netherlands, Belgium, Can.
ada and Italy from 3 to per cent
each. China in recent years takes
million dollars worth annually.

The Gay Mr.. GOldstein.

1.-THE Gay Mr.. Goldstein," which is to
be presented at the Metropolitan Opera
Houe for a special matinee and night,
Saturday, January 10th, is clever COM
edy production and not only a clean,
clear-cut parking novelty, free from even
the suggestion of offensive lines, but is
presenter by a company that is stronger
on all points than the majority of the
farce comedy companies now touring the
country. The name of the play might in
dicate that the attraction was in the ma
ture of a burlesque of the modern Jew.
Such is not the case The character of Mr..
Goldtsein is really the only Jew in the
play, and the part is played without the
traditional whisl1ers, and even without a
suggestion of Hebrew dialect.
The Gay Mr. Goldstein' is considered
by Manager Daily as fitting vehicle in
which to introduce as a star, Mr. Harry
Stubs, who for several years past has
been considered the leading stock coined
ian of America. For the last three sea-
sons he has been the shining light of the
celebrated Dearborn Stock Company of
Chicago. His supporting company has
been selected with great care. A feature
of this performance will be the introduce
ton Of up-to-date vaudeville features at
fitting intervals.

the reports which are continually brought

an army to attack Panama.
The Panamaian authorities yesterday

commend of Generals OrtizS Tribe Tribe,
Bustamente, and Novo.
These troops are we'll armed and sup

1t is expected that all the American
warships will leave Colon tomorrow for
the purpose of making demonstration
along the San Bias coast. The vessels
will land an attacking force the moment

troops have crossed into Panama territory.
There are no signs of a Colombian army

Stabbed in the Neck.

Wilmington, n. c., Jan. 12--This morn
ing Mr.. John G.. Kuhlken, while at the
store of his brother, Mr.. Benjamin j.
Kuhlken, corner Sixth and Brunswick
streets, was stabbed in the neck. The
assailant is said to be ]. w. Cooper. a

charge of his brothers store and asked
three white men, who were in the store
to get out as he desired to close. He
had to eject Cooper, who, when on the
outside, stabbed him in the neck. The
cut was not serious one, though it was
very painful.
