EXPORT OF WHEAT FLOUR AND This being a wheat growing and flour manufacturing regiou oar people very properly have more than a curiosity in know ing where and by what tort of people our surplus wheat and . flour, is consumed, and also what is our relative standing in the wheat markets of tbe world Tbe Monthly Sainmary of Com merce and Finance for May 1905 gives the total quantity of wheat exported from the United ::;r Cvu.utuyu m auroau daring the election months ending with May 1905 at 4,382, 417 bushels, valued at the porta of shipment '.t $3,892,245 .in average value at all the whoa. shipping porta of 88 cents 8 1-10 mills por bushel.

The 81,463 bushels of wheat exported iroui New York port There are many k:ids of meat, but we ell only ihe best kind. A trial order will convince you of the truth of this statement. We kill only the best specimens and kill it correctly. Our prices are as low as cousiBiant with the best quality. Bock & Thomas It is quite natural, and very proper, that a people that does as large a business with outside peoples aud nations as does the people of the United States should take a lively interest in not only tke kind but in the owners of the meads J of - trans portation that renders bur large foreign trade possible The only contrivance man ; baa - ye in vented for crossing the wide deep oceans that separate the several continents and widely scattered Isla ds is ships. Wheu we Americans consider the great size of our foreign' trade it is hard to get a clear idea of the amount of business we do wilh other countries, and how seriously each individual would be affecte'fif that trade would fiom any cause, be seriously obstructed. We naturally auk the question,, who owned the ships that iu the eleven months ending with May 1905 carried the $1,397,360,140 worth of stuffa that we iu that time ex ported to foreign hnds and peo ple, and the other $1,027,308,509 Worth Ol thin ihrnt -r brought in ships across the seas to us?; It, of necessity, took , a great many ships to accomodate a foreign trade that in eleven months required the ' transpor tation across seal of ; commodi ties valued, at $2,424,718,649. Our readers would feel saddened be told that a very small pro portion of this big trade, we are so preud of, is carried in ships, owned by Americans but such is the fact. Some day when it is not so hot the Obsrrver( may give the figures but those figures should not be presented so close to the "Fourth of July" for fear tbey might detract from the patriotic emotion pertinent to that gbrious day.
