WASHINGTON, ID. Ct, Mar. To-
February eTDortat lions sof farm prod
ucts show asmarked increase when
compared with those of the CORE
aponding month last year, according
Ito figures just received by the
Bureau Of Statistics, Department of
icomterce and LABOR. Corn, wheat,
/ hour, other breadstaffs, and meat
land dairy products all show a very
| large increase ii February. 1911,
compared with february, 1910. The
quantity OF corn exported in Febru-
larry, l911, was practically 10 ga
/, million bushels, against 1-2 mil
lion in February OF last year; Of
wheat, one-third million bushels.
against one million a year ago; OF
flour $50 thousand barrels, against
52S thousand in February. 1910;
meat and dairy products 10 ga mill
lion dollars in$yalue, against 8 ga
million one-year "a. %: and cotton,
t41O million pounds, against 1863 mill
| lion pounds in the corresponding
month OF last year. In the eight
months ending with February corn
exports show also a large increase,
being for that period S5 "a million
bushels against 20 10 million in the
corresponding period a year earlier.
Wheat exports. however, show a
marked decline, being in the 1911
period us ga million bushels,
fagainst SO 1-S million in the CORE
spending period OF 1910. The out
ward movement Of -four in the 1871 /
jperiod is about the same as a year
lago, while other breadstuffs show a
total export Of C 1-2 million dollars
jim value in the 1911 period, against
A l-2 million in the corresponding
iDeriod Of the prior year. Meat and
ldairy products exported in the 1911
period differ but little from those
of 1910; and cotton export aggre-
gated sol million dollars in value in
1.-THE 1911 period, against S4S mill
lion year earlier. Cattle, hogs and
sheep form the sole class showing a
decline in both the month OF Febru-
! airy and the eight months ending
with February, the value thereof ex-'
ported in February, 1911, being
1924 thousand dollars, against
1 1-S million IN February, 1910.
and in the eight months ending with
February, 1911, Z million dollars,
against 10 1-2 million in the CORE
spending periodrof the proceeding
year. e
One notable feature of the recent
exports OF breadstuffs is that the,
value of corn exported is far in ex-
cess OF that of wheat, being in the
month OF February, 1911, 2-3
million dollars, against little over
one million dollars worth OF wheat
and 3 914 mElion dollars worth of
flour. For the eight months period,
however, exports OF wheat and flour
in combination are anger in value
than corn exports, the vale of wheat
exported in the eight months ending
February. 1911, bein II million dol
lars. and of -four, 32 ga million,
while the value Of corn exported is
10 ga million. While the exporta-
ton OF wheat during the eight
month ending February, 1911, has
been much less than that Of the
corresponding period last year, and
far below the annual average Of the
last decade, the figures will not
make the lowest record OF our ex-
ports OF that article. The total ex-
ports in the eight months ending
February, 1911, are IS Is million
business, and in the single month OF
February, 1-3 million, indicating
that for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1911, the total will rage be-
tween 80 and 80 million bushels.
while the exports Of wheat in thei
fiscal year 1905, following the very
snort crop of 1904, amounted TO-
only 4 Is million bushels, the low
est record OF wheat exports in many
years. 1t seems probable however,
that the exports of the fiscal year
1871 will, with the single exception
Of 1905, be smaller than in any year
since 1869, when the total was II
1-,2 million bushels.
