The report from the Bureau of Statistics shows American exports declined by 59 million dollars in the last nine months while imports from foreign markets rose by 79 million dollars.

He notes corn’s central role in export trade and warns this year’s figures will be far below the four year average, with March nine months’ corn exports at 24 million bushels versus 145 million a year earlier.

Indiana’s wartime claim payments and losses detailed
Indiana spent about 5.08 million to quell the rebellion and has received 3.4 million back from the United States. With 636,000 still to be paid, the state will be about 1 million in the red. Claims filed years ago were rejected mainly because funds were spent strictly for war purposes under the secretary of war’s rules.
