MARKET NOTES

Foodstuffs coming in free of duty I'M
der the new tariff bill are swelling the
total of imports into the United States.
Increase in exports and decrease in i'm
ports for the first four months of the
present fiscal year as compared with
the same period last year were shown
in statistics made public by the de-
partment of commerce. Exports this
year have amounted in value to $685.
-994,s53, against $771,041,792 for the first
four months last year The import fig
'ures were $5S0,677,062, against $685.
23O,9S7.
The aggregate value of Iowas farm
products this year is 429h million dol
lars. 81 million more than last years.
These figures include the estfmat-
ed values aggregating 107 million, Of
pastures, ensilage and minor crops. The
estimated value Of ensilage is only ST.
$4,000, or little over / per cent Of the
value of the harvested corn crop. The
figures are surprisingly small in view
Of the fact that silo manufacturers
have been buster this year than ever
before, and it was year with unusual
inducements for putting up ensilage.
The corn crop, 329 million bushels,
was 80 million bushels less than last
year, though the total value, 1874 mil
lion dollars, was 42h million greater
than last year.
The oats crop, 1s5 million bushels,
was AZ million bushels less. and the
total value, sc million dollars, was
practically the same as last year. The
wheat yield was 100000 bushels.
Iowas total area in grain. potatoes
and hay is slightly over 10 million
acres.-Chlcago Live Stock World.

market, which was deluged with half
fat stuff, discarded by feeders with the
avowed intention Of saving corn. Liqui-
