lEMJffIET'
More Than 100.000 Bushels
of Wheat Sent Abroad in
Ten Months.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The United
States is still the “bread basket of the

what by the decline in other farm prod
ucts. The report priceeds:
While the products of the farm will
show but little change in the general
record of 1912, those of the factory
show a marked advance, the value
of the manufactures exported in the
period for which figures are now
avail exceeding by more than SIOO,-
000,000 those of the corresponding
months of last year and indicating
that the grand total of manufactures
exported in the full year of 1912 will
considerably exceed $1,000,000,000 and
form about one-half of the total ex
ports.

That he defaulted in the payment of
a S2OO note because a hotel near the
Terminal station, which he had bought
with the note as part payment, was noth

the novel answer M. L. Rockniore made
to a suit against him in superior court
today.
According to Rockniore, Henry Ergens,
plaintiff in the suit, sold him the hotel
upon misrepresentation. He said that
Ergens had showed him a register
chocked with names to show thattthe ho
tel was doing a land office business.
Upon taking charge, he asserted he
learned that the business was not legiti
mate, and that he would have to violate
a city ordinance If he continued to oper
