No accouut was taken of salt and pepper, they not being regarded as necessary to the value of statistics. The flour used during the year would make a loaf of bread bo large It would take two men to carry It, A chicken 220 pounds, the amount of poultry used during the year, would bo almost eight feet In height and according to estimate Its cackle could be heard four times around a city block. Closely pressing the poultry in amount Is the item of fish. A lish weighing 180 would be almost as largo as tlio Hull that always gets away. The meat total would supply a small lacd butcher shop for a considerable length of lime, and the 0."0 quarts of milk would require a Jnr several times larger thnn tlio ordinary sized milk man.

Business SUM Flourishing Iron and Steal Shows Renewed Activity Large Da creass in Failures. K. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Rcvictf of Trade" says: Harely has there bceij more business in staples and in maivi fnctured goods at practically unchang ed prices than since November I. Tins week seems to have marked the climax of enormous dealings at figures which have become familiar. The heavy tra-ld in pig iron at better prices, the largen distribution of dry goods at a firmer range of quotations and the rush to se cure prompt delivery of boots and simes, all indicate that business 111 iy have escaped one of those weary revl jtistmcnts of prices which have proved often so trying in recent years. Jobbing traJc In the interior is good, and collec tions continue excellent. After a week of quiet conditions, partly due to uncer tainty regarding- competition amor! leading interests, the iron and steel .0.-" dustry has taken another long stride forward. The feature was enormou9 buying of pig iron at an advance to $1,125 at Pittsburg, l'a. This sudden activity in the raw material removed fear that stocks might be accumulating at furnaces and gave some idea of the heavy contracts for. finished products taken by the mills. In some directions' there is less foreign inquiry, although at unusually heavy shipment of billets went to Glasgow and exports of rails have not ceased. Freight rates to the sea coast are still considered excessive by manufacturers and there is more inclina tion to push domestic business on t lit 3 account. Arbitration is expected to pre vent suspension of work at the furnaces, where a strike was threatened on Feb ruary 1. Pooling of coke interests out side the Conncllsville region is being discussed.' but the quality has always been inferior and sales only affected at concessions. Despite the advance in prices over a year ago, exports of wheit, including flour, for the week aggregate 4.8.18.678 bushels, against 3.3.16.054 htst week, 3.581. 197 in the corresponding week of igoo, 4,917.53 in 1809 and 026,024 in i8g8. From July 1 to da'e this season wheat exports are 112,201,583 bushels, against 117,304.908 last season and 144.232.241 in 1898-99. Corn ex ports for the week aggregate 3.973,15a bushels, against 5.184.550 last week. 1, 526,834 in this week a year ago, 3,695, 733 in 1899 and 4.962,530 in 1898. From July I to date this season corn exports are 113,764.737 bushels, against 125,646, 003 last season and 96,715,923 in 1898-99- Failures for the week were 306 in he United Slates, against 231 last year, and 46 in Canada, against .38 last year.
