Agricultural ExportsTho calendar ear la closing ith

every Indication that tho remarkableolume ot export3 will remain at the

flood A bulletin from tho bureau otstatistics nt Washington la testimonyto this effect Xhe bulletin deals with

the exports of  domestic breadstuffsmeat and dairy products food animals

cotton and mlnoral oils for November

and for tho 11 months ot tho presentyear ended wj th November Tho totalof  theso exports for November was

105311000 against 993ll 0001n 1905

and for the 11 months J78S257000compared with 703509000 last year

ho December returns are not likely

to show any relatfvo decrease and tho

entire year Is fairly certain to show a

largo advance over last Several

features oflho bulfetln sho wlng com-

mand special Interest Though theiewas something of  a falling toft In thisclass of  exports for he month our

Bbjpments abroad of  meat and dalry-

productsand of food cattle were 208

979000 In 190S or more than 20000

000 In excess ot these ot the sanio 11

months of  1905 Legislator by con

Kress andJtho steps taken by the ad-

ministration In accordance therewithaiming at safeguarding tho purity tlthe output have Increased foreign con-

fidence Tho figures are of value as

proving that while we sell abroad less

barley oats and corn we are disposing

In largo quantity of  what may be

called the finished products from such

raw material Tho Americans arefeeding more of tho grain to llvo stocjt

and selling more cattlo and meat to-

tho old world This Is really aneconomic advantage as finding a mar-

ket for tho higher valued product al-

ways Is The bulletin accentuates thepredominance ot this country as a

source of food supply whilo the com-

plete returns aro pretty certain toprove that It has been a big1 yoar for

exports of  manufactures also
