IMPORTS SHOW
GREAT INCREESE
FRUITS AND. NUTS DOUBLED IN
TEN YEARS; HIDES AND
SKINS SHOW GAIN.

Washington, D. G., March 1o;-
Some remarkable Increases In the
importation of agricultural products
into the United States during the de-
cade 19O0-1910 are shown in q buletin
issued by the bureau of statistics. mol
able among these is the increase IN tne
imports of fruits and nuts for the last
ten years.
In 1900 this class was valued at $19,-
100000 while for the year 1910, they
are given as s39,50O000, thus doubling
themselves since 1909. The imports OF
fruits alone have increased on, an ave
erage of s1,000,000 a year since l9OO.
For the year 1910, they were valued az
eS26, 100000, an increase of $10,O00.00o
since 1900.
Bananas showed the biggest In
crease, having grown from $6,OOO,09O IN
1900 to s12,00O.O0O in 1910.

do practically all commodities IN as
ricultural products. Shipments OF
hides and skins increased from 3O7,-
OOO, 900 pounds In 1900 to. 5T3,0OO,O00 IN
1910. For the year 1910, however, there
was a decrease when they We're I'M
ported to the extent OF 46l,00O,OOo
pounds.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
United States Is the producer or prac-
tically three fourths Of the worlds
supply of cotton, this commodity also
shows an increase In imports. In 1909
six million pounds Of cotton, valued NJ
$4,000, 900 was imported into the United
States. For the year year 1910, l5,OOO,-
900 pounds valued at $17,500,OOO was

HORSES GO LOWER
Clearing Sales .of Medium and Com
T, mon Animals Are at Sharply
Reduced Prices.

Chicago. March 10.-There was q
slumpy horse trade Thursday and IN.
ferior offerings sold at sharply reduced
prices. Most Of the supply consisted OF
medium and common quality norses
for which there was no reliable de-
mand and sales at a reduction OF $l0Qp
20 from prices obtainable for CORE
spondine stock on the recent high spot
were numerous. Strictly good heaVy
drafters and we'll shaped farm mares
of choice quality were not affected ny
this slump in volumes for the reason
that there wasn't any more OF these
animals than the trade could take
handily. Low prices failed TO stimula ss
the bidding to any perceptible degree
and the trade was exceedingly SLOW
and weak, with poor prospects OF
clearance being effected.
The bad condition OF the market was
due solely to MISUNDERSTANDING
OF nondescrip horses, which should
have been kept In the country to do
the farm work. One. trader here ex.
pressed himself forcibly by saying that
have been shot, as there was absolute
Nv no certain outlet for them here and
their presence only served to demon
alize the market. Receipts for four
days this week made an aggregate or
2.702 head, which, coming on top OF the
big arrivals last week, proved more
than the trade could digest and served
to conRest the market. AS compared
to arrivals for four days last week. this
weeks run shows decrease Of 1873
head, but stands $50 head in excess of
receipts for the corresponding four
days Of last year. There are many
horses still to be sold this week and
the market is in depressed condition
