INCREASE IN WHEAT exPoH's
eaou THE UNITED STATES.

FROM THE UNITED STATES
Wheat exports from the United
States In 1912, will materially exceed
those of recent years. The record Of
the 10 months o available in inc
Statistical Division OF the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce IN
dicates that the wheat exports OF the
full wear will exceed 100 million Dush'
els. against SO million in 1911 ana u
million in 1919. The total for the ~
months ended with October is 10 Ia
million bushels, against " "a million
In the corresponding months OF last
wear This increase occurred chleh!
IN the new crop, the September ex'
ports having been II million bushels
axainst s ga million in October OF last
yenr the total for the two months o.
september and October thus being s.
million bushels, aga ~
in the same months of 1911.
Only about ons-fourth OF the wheat
exported in October, 1912. went in the
form or -four, while nearly ~two'thirds
Of that. exported in October of asst
wear had been transformed into fi0ul
before expectation. This contrast IN
the proportion Of the wheat which wal
turned into -four before expectation Is
characteristic OF the wheat export
trade OF the United States. In those
mouths or years in which the wheat
mort trade II heavy the proportion
which Is turned into -four before
ex2ortation is small; In those months
or wears in which the expectation Il
light the share which is turned into
fiour before expectation is large. In
the fiscal year 1911, when only 90 mli
lion bushels OF wheat were exported.
&c per cent thereof was in the form Of
Aour; while In 1908, when the wheat
exports aggregated 1853 million bush
els, the share sent In the form of ioul
was but So per cent. ..
While the wheat exports OF 1917
will show larger totals than in i'm
mediately preceding years, those Of
corn and meats show a decline. Fig
ures compiled by the Statistical Divis
ion of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce indicate that the
exports or corn in 1912 will be but
about One.half those OF 1911, the tota
cor the 10 months ending with October
being 26 million bushels, against 53H
million in the same months OF last
year. Meat exports also show Il mark
ed decline in 1902 compared with 1871.
The quantity OF fresh beet exported
in the 10 months ended with October
was less than s million pounds, against
26 million in the same months OF 1911
OF picked beef, 20 million pounds, az
against &c million in the correspond.
ing period of last year; Of lard, 395
million pounds, against 439 million;
Of cleo oil, So million pounds, against
100 million; and of live cattle, 32,16C
head, against 13O,92S in the samt
months of last year. Cotton, however,
shows an increase OF about SO million
dollars over the corresponding months
Of last year and cOttOn-seed oil also a
slight increase, the export figures De
ing for cotton, 42lh million dollars in
the 10 months ending With October.
against 371 million in the correspond.
Inc months Of last year; and Of cotton
seed oil, is 81 million dollars, against
is million in the same months of last
year.
While the products OF the farm will
show but little change in the general
export record Of 1912, those Of the
factory show a marked advance, the
vaiue OF manufactures exported in the
peSiod for which figures are now avail
able exceeding by more than 100 mil
lion dollars .hpse Of the corresponding
months Of last year and indicating
that the grand total of manufactures
exported in The full year 1912 will con.
siderably exceed one billion dollars
and form about one-half OF the tota'
exports.
