Show Secretary Ruse's Report. St. Panls Globe. The third annual report of Secretary of Ariculture Rusk, just issued, is a state paper of rather enconrainsj tone. It appears that notwithstanding the enormous crop yeild to the Northwest, values are well sustained. Secretary Kusk estimates that the increase in the value of aricullural products over last vear will be not less than $700,000,000. buring the first three months of the present fiscal year exports in cereals alone have Hirjrrejrated 76.000,000. Such a showing as this indicates that our salesjja broad of farm products will be largely in czcess of any previous year. Although there as been an increase of some &!$,0()0,(i00 in imports of ariculturai products within the last ten months, it is noted in the report that these imports are not of a kind that that conflict with home products. Upon tlii s fact is laid considerable stress by lhe secretary. m-A-m |
