ports.
Although there was a decline
from the 1887 figure, Mr.. Pouder
pointed out that in the last halt
Of 1888 business of the port steadily

cline to the bad showing in the first
six months of the year.
Imports of $65, 36,360 were re-

totaled s81 ,701 ,6O4. Customs receipts
for the year were $l6,364, $780,
Four additional steamship lines

Farmers Income
Is Expected 10 Gain
Early in 1899
Increase Would Aid

In Rurol Areas
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Prices of
grains, cotton and live stock have
been firming-edging a shade higher
here and there-and business exec
utives who try to keep a finger on
the pulse of national trade trends
are now anticipating an improve
ment in farm income in the early
months of 1899, compared with last
year.
Farm income for the year 1888
is now estimated at $7,625 900 900, a
decline of around 1919 per cent from
1887 The 1888 figure includes Gov
ernment cop curtailment payments
of about $500 100000. contrasted
with $367 100000 in 1897.
Dollar Bought More.
But while farm income last year
was nearly one-eighth lower than
in the previous year, the individual
farm dollar bought more goods.
Department store prices, for in
stance, were between 7 and 10 per
cent under the preceding year. AS
a consequence, shrinkage in the
number of dollars in the farmers
pocketbook was reflected most in
smaller purchases of such items as
agricultural implements, including
tractors, plows, combines, hay rakes,
fertilizer spreaders and other equip
ment.
Some farm implement companies
in 1888 showed sales drops ranging
from IS to 80 per cent and reviv-
ing Of implement sales may be slow,
the experts say. for buying of the
relatively "heavy cost" tools usually
lags some months behind revival in
rural income
However, a pickup in farm in
come would Immediately inch up
apparel, food and sundry sales
as we'll as gasoline and movie re-
ceipts in farm area trading centers
Some Crops Still Stored.
Better prices for agricultural
prices during the coming six months
would be Immediately reflected in
going farm income. for a portion OF
1898 crops still is stored in farmers
barns.
The outlook for the latter hall
of 1899 is still, of course, very OBJ
Scure.
What the farmer gets for his
heavy crops is largely determined
by world prices, and world prices
are determined by world demand
and world supplies.
