In the fiscal year which ended with June 0, a little over 200,000,000 bushels of corn were exported from this country. This was the largest shipment ever made. The exportation in the fiscal year 1899 was 174,000,000 bushels, and that of 1598 was a little less than 208,000,000, or about 600,000 | bushels less than in the fiscal year just ended. Tn 1897 the shipment amounted to '7.000,000 bushels. These years ar the | | only oues in which the exportation of corn | has gone above the 100,000,000 bushel mark. | | There is a possibility that the exhibit of | | the corn made at the Paris exposition has| | had something to do with the in- | crease in sales abroad, but the advertise- ment which it received at Paris could hardly | have had much effect on the figures for the | fiscal year 1900, as the falr opened only a few weeks before the year closed. Such in- flucnce s the fair will have on the sales of corn in Europe will be revealed later on, in the present fiscal year. An effort has been made by Mr. Murphy, in a small but very intelligent way, at one or two points in Europe for several years past, to bring the virtues of this cereal to the knowledge of that quarter of the world, and this cru- | sade can undoubtedly be credited with much of the increase which has been made in re- cent years {n the demand for this food in | the old world But the exportation fis compared with the yield. cent of the crop has gone abroad in the past three years of heavy exportation. In| previous years of the past decade the sales | abroad have several times gone below 4 per cent of the annual yield. A galn will un doubtedly be made on even the figures of the three years, and this may be ex- pected soon. The present users of the cer may be relled on to advertise it, and thus broaden the market for it in Burope and Asia. The importation info Europe will practi Iy all be from the United States, which produces three-fourths of the entire world's product.
