OATS CROP STATISTICS.

According to bulletin issued by
the Census Department, in 1909, as in
1899, the largest acreage in oats was
found in Iowa and Illinois, these two
states combined having 1881 ,639
acres in oats, or over one-fourth of
the total land planted to that crop.
The land in oats increased from
29,540,000 acres in 1899 TO S5,159,O00
acres an increase OF 5,619,000 acres
or 10 per cent. The percentage Of in
crease in production, however, was
only a little over one-third as great.
the actual production amounting to
1907, 129, 600 bushels in 1909, as COM
pared with 943,3S9, 900 bushels in 1899
an increase of 63,740,000 bushels, or
6.S per cent The average production
per acre, doubtless by reason of TEN.
porary weather conditions, decreased
from 319 bushels to 2S.6 bushels.
On the other hand, the value of the
oats crop increased enormously,
from s217 ,099,OO0 to $414, 900, an
increase. of nearly s2O0,000,O00, or 81
per cent. The average value of oats
per bushel thus increased from %
cents to Al cents, or about rs per
cent.
The land in oats increased from
16,145,000 acres in 1879 to 2S,321 900
in 1889, 29,54O,0OO acres in 1899, and
35, l59 900 acres in 1909. The acreage
in oats in 1909 exceeded that in 1879
by about 11S per cent, whereas the
population of the country during the
same period increased a little over
80 per cent. The production of oats
in 1879 was 4O7, S59,O0O bushels, as
compared with 1907, 129,00O bushels
in 1909.
In acreage Iowa has outranked all
the states in the union for over ten
years, but in actual production ILL
nois has managed to outrank Iowa.
The production per acre in Illinois is
only a small fraction greater than il

yield, a small fraction means a big

made the announcement that he will
be a candidate, declaring that he is
to busy to talk politics.
But those who attended the confer

him to make the race and that he has
consented to do so. For many
months Mr.. Bray has listened to the

with an ever increasing satisfaction,
until now he has decided TO fight Con-

woRLp,s PRODUCTION OF COAL.


The total coal production of the
world in 1910 was approximately
/, 300, 100000 short tons, of which the
United States contributed about 80
per cent This country has far out
stripped AN Others, and in 1910, &C,
cording to the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, it exceeded Great Brit
ain, which ranks second, by over 200,,
100000 tons. Great Britain's produc.
ton in 1910 was less than co per cent
of that of the United States, and Ger
many's was less than half. The in,
crease in both of these countries in
1910 over 1893 was comparatively
small, whereas the. increase in the
United States was nearly equal to the
entire production of France aud was
more than the total production of any
foreign country except Great Britain.
Germany. Austria Hungary and
France.
The United States has held first
place among the coal.producing coun-
tries of the world since 1899, when it
surpassed Great Britain. In the IL
years since 1899 the annual output of
the United States has nearly doubled,
from 253,741,192 short tons to SOL
596,S7S tons, whereas that of Great
Britain has increased only 20 per cent
from 246,506,155 short tons to 1896.

MEXICAN SHOES.

The American shoe manufacturer
is extending his sales in all parts OF
the world. In the fiscal year 1880
we exported less than 100000 pairs
of boots and shoes; in 1890. 100000
pairs; in 1900, over 3 million pairs;
in 1905, over million pairs; in 1910,
over million pairs, and in the cal.
endar year which ends with next
month the number will exceed 8 mil.
lion pairs, to say nothing of the one
million pairs going to Porto Rico and
Hawaii These figures relate to
boots and shoes of leather; while If
to this We add those of india rubber,
ing the total number of American
made boots and shoes passing out Of
continental United States in 1911 up
to an average of a million pairs per
month, about half million per annum
twenty years ago.
This increase, it should be remem-
bered, has come in the face of a
large manufacture in foreign coun.
tries of boots and shoes called Amer.

men and of foreign material, but upon
American patterns and following
American methods of manufacture.
1t is we'll known fact that large
quantities of shoes sold in various
parts of the world under the title of
American" are, in fact, made in
European countries upon patterns
and forms and methods of manufac.
ture developed in the great manu-.
featuring establishments of the Unit.
ed States; and it is thus probable
that the number of boots and shoes of
American type and thus American in
the sense of form and method OF

is very much greater than that indi.

ton. In actual exports of boots and
shoes manufactured in the United
States, the total for the year which
ends with next month will, as above
indicated, aggregate more than IL
million pairs, including in this figure
those of india rubber and those sent
to our own noncontguous territory.

Market Notes.

Receipts of cattle were small Tues
day and consisted mainly Of common
grades, with only few that were de-
sirable. The market was dull and
sluggish, as it generally is under
such conditions, and buyers were in.
clined to hold off. Prices were prac.
tically steady.
Stockers and feeders met with a
very feeble demand from the country
and were barely steady. Quality
was poor and what inquiry there was
called for good stuff. 80.
Better prices prevailed Tuesday in
the market for sheep and lambs. Most
of the supply showed an advance of
15@25c, and business was quite &C.
tive. Some choice Iowa lambs were
put over at s5.65, which was the high.
est sale on the market.
