WASHINGTON, Oct 28.-The De partment of Agriculture states today that the export of food supplies from the United States since the opening of the European war has been enor nous. The exports have been large
 y sent from American ports into Canada during the first days of the war and later when the British fleet was prepared to protect the lanes of travel from American ports to England large shipments were made from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and also from southern ports.

 The Customs department estimates that the demand from Europe for American foods will drain this coun- try of all it's surplus stock. The for eign governments are also buying largely of manufactured goods for use in the army. The imports from Flu rope, however, remain exceedingly small.

 NATIONS BONDS
Women Take National Defense secur- ities and Show Popular Conf dence In the Outcome.

PARIS, Oct. 28.-Mention has al ready been made of the remarkable success obtained by the emergency issue of national defense bonds. They are now being taken up at a rate we'll over s2,5OO.OOO ($12.500,000) a week and never once have the subscrip- tions dropped below s2.000,000 ($1O.- OOO, O,00O)-a fact all the more extraor- dinary when it Is recalled that par ticularly all the men of the nation are under arms and in great ma jority of cases it Is the women who have taken 1t upon themselves to subscribe.
 The fact must not be lost sight of also that at first it was impossible to draw much money from the banks. no matter what the size of ones bank balance might be. This has been remedied in so far as money for sub' scription purposes is concerned, or ders having been given that the banks are to pay out whatever is demanded for the purchase of bonds. The amount issued already totals over s8.- O0O. .OO0 $4O.OOO,00O.)
 The German rush to Paris in no wise impaired the faith of the cap ital as to the outcome of the war. The issue of bonds is being made with the help of the large banks, but as a matter of fact they have not placed anything like the number sold by the Post Office and Surveyors of Taxes and through the different penny bank organizations throughout the country. Interest is paid in ad- vance at the moment of subscribing and this serves as an additional in- ducement to patronize 1t. The operations are much helped al- so by the attractive system of ad- vertising adopted. a new departure here which has given the best re. suits.
