The Farmer and the Auto.

No less than 50 coo automobiles are

A 100000. 900 Export Year.

Remarkable records will be made in
export trade for the fiscal year which
ends with the present month-June.
Ten months figures for the bureau Of
calculation of the trade for the year,
and these suggest that the export Of
raw cotton VIII aggregate not far from
$500, 900 900; iron and steel manufac-
lures, approximately, $3.50, 900 900;
meat and dairy products, $3.50, 900 900;
breadstuffs, $125, ZOO, 600; Sopper, $780,
o0o, 900; mineral oil, 800, 600, 600; wood
and manufactures thereof, $50, 900 900;
leather and manufactures thereof, over
$50,000.000; agricultural implements,
over SAC. 900; tobacco and manufac-
lures thereof, over s40,oo0.0o0; cotton
manufactures. approximately 100000
900. and coal, over $4,000, 900 for ex-
port, including that going into the
bunkers OF vessels. which will amount
to approximately $4,000, 900, making
the coal carried out Of the country
over $50 1000, 900.
The 10 months statement of cotton
shows valuation of $3.50, 000,0 900,
speaking IN round terms, which is
$143.000,000 greater than in the CORE
spending months of 1910, and as the
total for the fiscal year 1910 was $780,
100000 in value, an addition to that
sum Of the excess already accumulated
in 1911 would bring the grand total
for the year nearly TO the $500, 0G0, 900
line. This large value of raw cotton
exported-by far the largest total ever
reported-is largely due to the high
prices rather than TO the large quaint
ties exported.
These large increases, coupled with
less important articles, suggest that
the figures for the exports will cross
the 100000 900 line for the first time
in the history of the export trade.
