reriorts from the various collectors of

the report credit the combined Puiret
sound oorts with having exported 2,628,
404 bushels wheat during the month,
wharpaa the Merchants Exchange of this
city mnlntalns that the sound ports ex
ported but 2.0C6.312 bushels, it appears
as if a serious blunder has been made
by the compilers. The Ban Francisco
Commercial News, an old publication,
which among other things makes a spe
cialty of keeping tab on wheat ship
ments from Pacific coast ports, concurs
rlosely with the Merchants Exchange
flirures. Half a dosen cargoes would be
required to make up the difference In
the figures and statisticians here are at
a loss to know how the figure jugglers
of Puget sound are going to account
for them.
Even with the bolstered figures, the
individual, sound cities offer no compari
son with Portland In regard to wheat
shipments.
Ahead of Eastern Ports.
Portland's wheat exports wera 2,040,
197 bushels to Europe. 157,239 bushels
to the orient and 82,355 bushels to the
west coast, on which figures all agree
to the single bushel.
New York exported 1,179,316 bushels
and Philadelphia set 780,743 bushels
afloat during the same period, which
goes to show that Portland" exported
more than New York and Philadelphia
combined. Horetofore New York led
with Philadelphia a close second and
Portland third, fourth or fifth.
The report chows further that during
the eight months ending. February 29
there has been exported from the United
States 82.914,316 bushels of wheat and
9.882,448 barrels of flour. During the
corresponding period o year ago the ex
ports were 6(.661. 184 bushels of wheat
and 9.6,014 barrels of flour.
During February of this year i New
York led in flour shipment with 629,
188 barrels. Portland exported 55,245
barrels and the combined Puget sound
cities exported 86,596 barrels.
