Northwestern North Dakota had an

which. however; did no damage.
Along the Red river, the rain was not
badly needed, but to the west the

A falling off Of about $200,0O0,00O in
the export trade Of this country for
the year 1900 as compared with the
average of 1908 and 1907 IS apparent
from the figures gathered by the bu-
reau Of statistics. The csuses an
nounced for this decline arc q reduc-
tion in demand and a reduction In
price Of the articles exported, In some
cases the prices are the same as they
were one or two years ago.. perhaps
higher, so the slump in totals is due to
reduction in the, quantity bought by
foreign Countries Where the Old fig
ures of quantity are maintained the
prices are lower.
The decline in demand for American
goods is not exceptional. All export
ing countries have felt it more or less.
