LESS EXPORT OF WHEAT THAN
CORN DURING JANUARY.
Thle Reversal of Position Occurred
for First Time In the History of
ur Grain Exports—Experts of
Flour Show Decrees*.
Decreased receipts of \ffieat at lead-
ing interior markets, and smaller ship-
ments of flour are the leadfng features
of the commercial movement of bread-
stuffs during January of the present
vear, as reported by the Bureau of Sta-
tistics of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. For the first time also the
monthly exports of wheat, were less in
quantity than the exports of corn.
Grain rec«ipts during January at IS
important m&fkets, 69,403,731 bushels,
show but little variation from the Jan-
uary figures of the preceding year and
the January average for the preceding
5-year period. The total inbound
movement was ra#de up of 16,494,484
bushels of wheat; 29,482,533 bushels of
corn; 16,487,593 bushels of oats; 6,187,-
#11 bushel., of barley; and 752,080
bushels of rye. As conifcared with
1910 figures for the more important
gains, the receipts of corn, oats, and
barley, show larger totals, while those
of wheat show a sharp decline from the
corresponding monthly total. It should
be stated though that this decline is
not a peculiar feature of the January
receipts. As a matter of fact wheat
receipts for all the months of the cur-
rent season beginning with September
were lower than the year before, indi-
cating either heavier receipts at the
smaller markets, for which no official
reports are had, or else larger stocks
in the hands of the producers. 'Ae
decrease may be said to affect almost
equally the spring wheat and the win-
ter wheat markets. Wheat receipts at
these markets for the five months of
the present crop period fell more than
20 per cent short of like receipts during
the 1909-10 season and about 13 per
cent short of the average receipts dur-
ing the same period for the preceding
five crop seasons. The corn receipts
at fifteen interior markets for the five
months, 114,204,168 bushels, were
heavier than for the same periods in
the preceding five seasons, the larger
receipts for the current season corres-
ponding to the larger export demand
at the Atlantic ports. The five months'
receipts of oats, 90,857,225 bushels,
were larger, while those of barley, 44,-
607,655 bushels, smaller than for the
preceding season.
The total grain receipts during the
five months' period since September
were 379,746.192 bushels, compared

with 400,270,433 bushels for the same
period last year and an average of over
406 million bushels for the preceding
five-year period. The January ship-
ments of flour for thirteen milling cen-
ters, 2,765,804, barrels, likewise show
an unfavorable turn as compared with
the figures of the preceding months,
and the corresponding January, 1910,
total.
The month witnessed increased re-
ceipts of corn at the four principal At-
lantic ports, 10,485,721 bushels, com-
pared with 7,830,845 bushels received
during January, 1910, and 5,487,814
bushels received during January, 1909.
Wheat receipts at the four Atlantic
ports totaled only 1,240,475 bushels,
compared with 3,934,000 bushels re-
ceived in January, 1910, and 4,308,460
bushels received in January, 1909, the
exports at these ports showing cor-
responding declines. As a matter of
fact, of the total domestic exports of
wheat for the month, 2,789,151 bushels,
almost 75 per cent was shipped from
the Pacific ports, the exports, from
Portland, Oregon, and Puget Sound
points leading those from any other
custom district, both for the month as
well as for the cumulative period since
July, 1910. It should be stated though,
that the seven months' wheat exports
for the present fiscal year, 17,195,728
bushels, were practically only one-third
of the average seven months' exports
for the preceding five year period. The
largest shrinkage in wheat exports is
shown by the Gulf ports, particularly
Galveston and New Orleans.
The total flour exports for the seven
months' period ending January, 1911,
5,848,749 barrels, were about 26 per
cent below the average exports lor the
seveu mouths of the preceding five
years. The seven mouths' flour ex-
ports from the four leading Atlantic
ports are given as 441,864 barrels, com-
pared with 780,564 harre s in 1910 and
1,917,180 barrels in 1909. The corn ex-
ports for the se/en months' period of
the present fiscal year, 28,935,460
bushels, were larger than in 1909 and
1910 and exceeded in quantity those of
wheat, though falling considerably be-
low like exports during the years prior
to 1909. The exports of barley during
the seven months of the present fiscal
year, 8,229,541 bushels, proceeded
mainly from San Francisco and show a
large gain over like exports in earlier
vears. ,
The value of all breadstuffs exported
during the seven months of the present
year was $72,585,445. showing a decline
of 23 per cent, as compared with the
figures for the preceding year, and a
loss of about 45 million dollars since
1006, notwithstanding the considerable
rise in prices since that year.

Washington, March 7.—The most ex-
tensive movement of troops and war
vessels ever executed in this country in
time of peace is now under way by
order of the president, as commander-
iu-chief of the army and navy, the ob-
jective being the country north of the
Mexican boundary aud the waters of
the two oceaus at either end of it.
Twenty thousand soldiers—more than
one-fourth of the army of the United
States, of all arms—of the service are
moving toward the Mexican border;
four armored cruisers, comprising the
fifth division .of the Atlantic fleet, have
been ordered from northern waters to
the naval station at Guantanamo, Cu-
ba, and most of the Pacific fleet is or
-shortly will be on its way to assemble
an San Pedro and San Diego, Cal.,
and 2,000 marines are preparing to
make Guantanamo station their tem-
porary headquarters.
It was officially announced at the
White House and at the war and navy
department today that the purpose of
this great mobilization, unprecedented
save in war times, is the training of of-
ficers and men uuder service conditions,
and practice in co-operatiou between
the land and naval forces. Unusual
pains were takeu by all officially con-
cerned in the matter to give this color
to the sudden activities; but these state-
ments were accepted with increasing
reserve.
There have been important joint ma-
neuvers in the last few years, but they
have been planned far in advance and
carried out without excitement, or even
evidence of interest at the White House.
Today the executive officers were
steeped with mystery; the entire morn-
ing was given over to conferences with
officers of the war and navy depart-
ments.
This thick atmosphere of mystery,
and the efforts to minimize the import-
ance of the business, lent a significance
ttf'the fact that General Leonard Wood,
chief Of staff of the " army, in an effort
to elude interviewers, slipped out ol
one of the rear windows of the presi-
dent's offie and beat a retreat through
the * secluded portions of the White
House grounds to a rear entrance of
the war department.
The real significance of those activi-
ties, which have been confined appar-
ently to the last forty-eight hours or
less, is thought to relate very directly
to the conditions in Mexico, and to the
growing belief that the situation there
is by no means as satisfactory as the
Mexican government would have it be-
lieved. There are persistent reports
that the physical condition of President
Diaz has lately become such as to
alarm his adherents, andv that moraeu-
tous developments are to be prepared
for.

pearance comes from wearing a
