SLOAN & ©0., So INCREASE OF EXPO Interesting Facts From a Bureau of Statis- tics Bulletin. RTS © for Last Menth an: fer the Seven Months of the Prese Vear. A bulletin issued by the burcau of sta- tistics ef the Treasury Department today concerning the principal articles of domes- tic exports for July, 1897, shows that the total value of the month's exports amounts to $36,045,278, as against $2545.84 for the Same month of 186 and $29,445,340 for the same month of 1895. Exports for the seven months ending July, 1897, were valued at $520.087,075, as against $309,811,297 for the same period of 18% and $27], 5 for the first seven months of 1895. The value of breadstuffs exported curing the month was $13,914,487; cotton, 516; mineral oils, $5,122.81 in- cluding cattle and bogs, $ A heavy increase in the export of corn is shown, 12,405,466 bushels for last month, an increase of almost sev bushels over July, 189 to en months cr ; bushels 5 1sws bushels for the same period in 1¥ in to other heavy increase is shown in portation of r which fe the months’ period ing July, 1896, am to" 1,251.15 nd for the san riod this year, 4,843,779 bushel: The Case of Wheat. There has been a decrease in the number of bushels of wheat exported during the first seven months of 1847, compared with ex seven the same period of 1896, from 24,482,619 bushels to 28,126,395 bushels. This decrease is more than offset, however, by the in- this creased value of wheat exports for year, it, appearing from the treasury ports that the value of the lesser export of 1897 exceeded the greater export of the same period of 1806 by $47,479, all of which is due to the rise in the price of wheat the effect of which has been to temporarily check the exportation of that grain dur- ing the month of July. Reports from al- most every section indicate, however, that the falling off of wheat exports during the last month was but temporary, and that the new crops now being engaged for ex- portation will raise the item of wheat ex- ports beyond any figures heretofore re- ported by the bureau of statistics. The exportation of whe 1so6, amounted to 6,062,006 bushels, of the value of $3,824,021, and during July, 187, to 987,482 bushels, of the value of $3,136,808, It will be noted that the value of the same quantity of wheat exported during July of this year is almost 3 per cent greater than that of July, 1N6, Philadelphia has become a port of consid- erable export for corn, the increase in the number of bushels exported from that port having been from 4,082,107 bushels, in July, 189%, to 15,060,258 ‘bushels, in July, ISvr. Other ports have also greatly Increased in the exportation of corn, but none to such a large degree as Philadelphia. Heavy Incrense in Cotton, The cotton year is regarded as beginning September 1. The figures given by the bu- reau of statistics for the eleven months ending July, 1896, show the exportation of 4,610,087 pounds, and for the same pe- riod of this year, 3,08) a7 pase in the value of the export is from 190,437,030 to $226024,611, Heavy increases in the export of cotton have been made at all the soutaern ports, notably Galveston, Texas, from which was exported during the period of eleven months ending July, 186, cotton to the value of $1 during the same period of this y . ice per pound of cotton se, The average © during July was 7.8 cents, as against 7.4 cents for July, 1S rise in cotton, however, is corp: recent, the age price for the ele month period of 1N%G having beer. 1-5 of a cent Yigher than for the same period of this year. The aver- age price of cotton per pound during the cotton year ending August, 1N%, was 8.1 cents, and of 1s! cents, It may not be that the average price per pound for the year 18% will be exceeded, but the total value of the product will be many millions more than that of last year. Exports of cotton have increased to all countries ex- cept Spain and Mexico, in which a small decrease is noted. There is a growing de- mand for the product in Japan, the in- crease for that country having been from 19,855,252 pounds in 1896, eleven months ending July, to 31,624,876 pounds in 1887. ———_—— 2 _____ The Thanks of So To the Editor of The Evening Star: In response to the article in The Star of August 10 [ would state that’the gentle- man who signs himself. “Northern Gen- tleman” «nd thinks that he is doing a just thing in censuring the ladies who joined in a vote of thanks to the Presi- dent for extension of the civil service rules is taking a rather superficial view of the matter. I can assure him that not all the ladies who are in the departments are southern, or were even born in the south. Moreover, it by no means follows that being a south- ern woman always means a sympathizer of the “lost cause.” Many southern women, yes, and men, too, were obfiged to feign sympathy with the uppermost party in the south at that time whether they liked it or net. I can tell “Northern Gentleman” that if he had been living at the south in "6L or "62 the chances are that he himself woul? in all probability have carried a musket in Ston. wall Jackson's regiment, or have ridden out with Morgan. Many of those southern women who were either silent or apparently sympathizers with the south in those fiery times might not have done so if there had been a choice. But it required courage of no com- ton order to withstand the sight of homes laid in ashes, property confiscated and families scattered, which was the lot of scme who did not swim with the tide. Again, why should not women join in thankfulness at the passage of an order which gives them daily bread? They can hardly be blamed for sitting quietly at their desks (as “Northern Gentlema: slightingly remarks) when they have no vote, cannot do campaign work and are of no weight at all in the political world; moreover, all of their salaries are by no means so large and munificent as outsiders would think. Ner shou'd it be forgotten that “Northern Gentleman” and his contemporaries have lad more than thirty years to establish themselves in the government. Moreover, many reinstatements have taken place, even as late as the present administration. I confess I-cannot see how the impoverish- ment of southern womer would better the merthern veterans. Their salaries in some cases do not rise above fifty-five dollars @ month, and I know of one case in which the salary only amounts to three hundred dollars a year. I doubt if “Northern Gen- tleman” or any other veteran could buy hovses and support families on that. E am a southern woman, born at the south, and shall always be loyal to the covntry nearest my heart. The only brother I had fought in the Union army, avd I would gladiy have given five or six to that noble cause if I had had them. I shall never “clap my hands with jos” over the graves of the veterans, as “‘North- ern Gentleman” so mcurnfully predicts. But I cannot see how they can be benefited by injustice to a class of whom it may be truly said they have to bear the curse of beth Adam and Eve.
