33S,322 for 1902. The exports amount
ed to $23, 563,12 an increase of near
~ $4,500,000. The rice imports were
the only ones that increased and there
was falling off in the general trade
the United States losing 10 per cent
and the United Kingdom 1G per cent,
while Spain has only two-thirds Of the
amount of its trade in 1892.
United States exports increased
from $7.232411 to S9,3SG.03G and the
trade with Spain was practically the
same. But small part Of the United

New Graft in Missouri.

"A new graft has been discovered
in Sedala,' says one of the papers of
that place. Every night for some
time past the mems waiting room at
the Missouri Pacific station has been
crowded with men sleeping in the
seats. When asked their business
there by station attendants, they in
variably resurrected tickets to some
nearby town and said that they were
waiting for trains. A few days ago
about fifty of these regular bOarders
applied at the ticket Office to have
the tickets redeemed. The agent then
became aware of the fact that the
tickets were purchased for the sole
purpose of bunking in warm room. y
