exports declined nearly
1' $121,000,000 to a total of 1121,873.613
£ for the quarter due chiefly to de-
: creased shipments of cotton and
• lower pricer for that commodity.
• Total exports for the quarter were
valued at $1,098,839,243, as compared
: with $1,250,760,000 for the first
; quarter of 1925 and $1,381,440,318 for

■ Illinois suffered losses.
# Michigan’s gain, $18,000,000, was
I the largest and helped boost her po-

while California with an increase of
about $8,000,000 rose from sixth to
. fifth position. Pennsylvania with a
loss of $15,500,000 dropped from
third to fourth; Louisiana from
fourth to sixth, New Jersey from
fifth to seventh, and Illinois from
seventh to eighth. Ohio and VIr-

The department explained that the
figures were based primarily on the

and for others they included good,
produced elsewhere.
BUFFALO, N. T., July 10. UH—The
blows etruck by federal agents
against alleged violators of the Vol-
stead law In the last 24 hours prom-
lee to make the Niagara frontier the
driest It haa been since the prohibi-
tion law became operative.
On top of the indictment of about
80 Buffalo and Niagara Falls men,
members of an alleged rum ring
that operated as far west as Detroit
and in Canada, and said by officials
to be one of the biggest illicit liquor
organizations in the country, the
government is moving to close a
million dollar brewery at Niagara
Falls, which. It Is alleged, fur-
nished the Falls and Buffalo with
"good" beer for many months.
Indictments have boon returned
against the owners of the Cataract
Brewing Company, including offi-
cers. stockholders and employes. The
president, James Cansvsn. Sr., and
his son, James, Jr. John H Leggett,
attorney and former assemblyman,
and seven others were arrested laat

sioner and released on ball.

the alcohol conspiracy have been ar-
rested and arraigned before a fed-
eral commissioner who fixed ball at
auma ranging from $10,000 to $50,000

OEAF SMITH CO.
SHIPS OVER 350
CARS WHEAT JULY
Special to The Times.
HEREFORD, Texas, July so.-
Three hundred and sixty cars of
wheat have been shipped from Deaf
Smith county, practically all of it
during the month of July. It In-
cludes car loads shipped from Here-
ford, Dawn and Summerfield.
Farmers are still working early
and late harvesting and marketing
the huge crop that was raised in
this section, and local elevators ex-
pect good business throughout the
month of August.
Nine carloads of milo and four
cars of oats were also shipped from
Deaf Smith county during the month
of July. There are thousands of
bushels of milo and kaffir that was
not marketed last fall due to low
prices, which prevailed and a small
amount of this is being dumped
on the market each month. It is
unusual for grain sorghums to be
shipped from this section at this
season of the year in large ship-
ments
The big grain sorghums crop last
fall, and the huge wheat crop of
the present year has caused local
bank deposits to climb rapidly dur-
Ing the past 30 days. Many farm-
ers over this section have been en-
abled to pay off loans and fatten
their bank accounts considerably.
Ths big wheat crop, good ranges and
fat cattle, and bright prospects for
a good row crop have all helped to
create a gread deal of optimism
throughout this section.

ural economic results of that one
ill-advised undertaking."
“Th. greater part of th. Western
Pacific,” the commission said tra.
versed a mountainous and
country which was utterly unable

amount of traffic. Ample railroad
facilities already existed for traf-
fic moving between “ the Pacific
coast and nil territory west of th.
Rocky mountains."
