An Interesting Study in the Proportion of Sexes in the
United States Is Published by the Census Bureau.
Women Predominant in Cities.

According to bulletin No. IA, just
Issued by the census bureau and re-
ceived by The News, in continental
United States there are 1888, 321 more
males than females, or about two in
ach 100 people.
During the seventy years from 1880
to 1900 the absolute excess of males
was greater at each census than at any
preceding census with the single ex.
ception of 1870, when the exceas OF
males was less than in 1860, which is
attributed TO the deaths of soldiers
during the civil war.
The greatest relative excess of males
was in 1890, when in each 10000
people there were PAP more males than
females. BY 1900 this excess had de
creased to PIC in 10000, less than the
relative excess In 1890.
FEMALES PREDOMINANT IN CITIES.
AS rule American cities have more
females than males. In the year 1900
there were POI, 95S more females than
males in 1861 cities, each having at
least $500 Inhabitants. At present, in
1,490 cities, each having at least $500
inhabitants. there are 6,929 more
males than females.
The death rate of males in the
registration area of the United
