The government statement OF imports
and exports for the year ending the Both
of June last, has just been given TO the
public. From it we learn that crude
asphaltum, which comes in free of
duty, was imported to the amount of
1916, 914 pounds as against 81, 105 035
in 1887. Our imports of sulphur or
birthstone are almost stationary, and
amounted in the fisca, year 1888 to
SO, 253 tons, valued at 1851 ,582, as
against 81 333 tons, valued at 81 ,6S8 ,360,
10 1887. The consumption has, there
lore, increased less than per cent,
though the price has considerably de-
clined, and our own Utah works pro-
duced only about l 800 tons. Some
Japanese sulphur has been imported
through San Francisco. and this trade
will probably increase. In silver ores
our imports are large and rapidly in
creasing. In 1888 there was brought to
this country ore to the value of $5,1l5,
563, as against So 1893 ,26i in 1887. Dur.
ing the first six months of 1888, our i'm
ports were nearly double as compared
with tia first six months of 1887. The
total lead that entered in silver ores in
1887, was about $500 tons, and this
year it has been estimated We shall re-
ceive about 10000 tons from the same
source. Unground plaster of paris, or
gypsum, the greater portion of which
is brought from Nova Scotia. was i'm
ported to the amount of 133,605 tons,
valued at $146, 496. The domestic pro-
duction OF gypsum was 5000 short
tons. Our imports Of coal are all of the
bitum;nous variety, and amounted dur.
ing the fiscal year to SIT, 504 tons, worth
we exported of domestic coal l, T24,63I
tons, worth Sc. 295 $50. or nearly two
million dollars more than the preced-
ing year. Our imports are decreasing.
while our exports are growing at very
satisfactory rate, especially those to
Canada since that country removed its
import duty from anthracite. Iron ore
to the amount of go GA ions, valued
OF 81 ,818 OBJ, was imported. This is a
reduction of about 100, 600 tons less
than in the preceding year, and it is
estimated that there will be a still
greater decrease at the end of the pres
ent year. There is some food for
thought in the above figures. Utah is
well supplied with asphalt, sulphur,
silver, lead, gypsum, coal, ana iron,
each of the articles mentioned above,
| and in each case itmay be said that the
supply is inexhaustible. With capital
to develop these natural resources, and
fair railway rates-an even chance with
the other portions of the west-and
Utah could supply the United States
with many OF the most valuable
staples.

Trade reports from nearly all interior
points east are full of confidence, and at
many the actual Improvement already
noticed still continues. There is no
complaint of monetary scarcity though
at some points distinct improvement
in the demand is noted, and collections
improve little. If the iron market is
reliable barometer of business, its
latest indications are rather favorable.
Numerous announcements of new
works about to be established, Or of
furnaces about to resume operations,
show that confidence in the future is
increasing. AS last years transactions
were exception ally large, the trade now
in progress is by no means discourage
ing in volume, though the margin for
profits is exceedingly narrow in many
branches. Crop prospects are not quite
SO good, and as recent improvement in
business has been ba sed almost entirely
upon confidence in large yield. the
change is of some consequence. For
eign advices, indicating deficient crops
of wheat IN EurLpe, have helped to sup
port the market; but actual exports do
not answer expectations, and prices
have declined half cent for the week.

Co., number for the United States POS,

A FRIGHTFUL SKIN DISEASE.

Suferings Intense. Head nearly raw.
BODY covered with sores. Cured by
the Gu ticnra Remedies.
Messrs. STEVENS & BRUNEE, Monroe, N. C.
Dear Sirs:-About two months ago, on
your recommendation, bought bottle of
CUTICURA RESoLYENT, one box CUTICURA
SALvE, and one cake of CUTICURA SOAP, for
my son, aged thirteen years, who has been
afflicted with eczema for long time, and
dies have cured him. His suffierings were
intense, his head being nearly raw, his
ears being gone except the grisEle, and his
body was covered with sores. His condi-
ton was frightful to behold. The sores
have now disappeared, his skin is healthy,
eyes bright, cheerful in disposition, and is
working every day. My neighbors ara wit
nesses of this remarkable cure, and the
doubling ones are requested to call or write
me, or any OF my neighbors

Shipments of Utah producrs are not
of lively nature. Besides coal and
ore, there is but little going out. Three
carloads of new potatoes went to Den
yer lately. The price paid was 80 cents
per hundred. Later an order was re-
ceived for several more cars. the would
be purchaser naming 80 cents per
hundred as all he could afford to pay

needless to say that the order was re-
fused. "Those fellows" said shipper

that they have an idea they can con-
tinue to do so. They will probably fall
short of their expectations.

say their business is fully 100 per

also reaches US from the other beds.

as untrue, and says he asked the COM
mittee to send SINE disinterested and
unprejudiced person to investigate
everything connected with the man
agement of the company, but no one
was sent. and the so-called report was
made without knowledge of the facts.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
has looked into the matter of the COM
pany's management and condition, and
without wishing to prejudice either side,
we feel confident that the source of all
the trouble has been the old, old cause,
insufficient working capital. It appears
that the company has been operated on
borrowed capital, that from lack of
means it has never been able to produce
more than about 1,500 tons of sulphur
a year, instead of ten times that
amount, which would have made q
notable change in the balance sheet.
At the actual rate of output, after de-
Quoting the improvement account, the
cost OF production was almost equal TO
the market value of the product, but it
IS evident the general expenses were
far too high for the business the COM
pany was IN q position to do. II the
enterprise were provided with sufficient
working capital it would, no doubt, be
a remuneratlve one, and aside from the
large, perhaps necessarily large, general
expense and salary account, there is
nothing in the facts which we have ex-
smined to indicate any incompetency
in the management. When the COM
pany commenced operations. ground
sulphur atSalt Lake City was worth $40
to $50 net per ton; now it is less than
$50, and the hopes which were based on
the better market have naturally been
converted into disgust and complain
ing under the new condition Of affairs.

mine, and stock iobbers or manipula-
tors at the other end-such has been
the general combination and the re-

history of mining ventures in all parts
of the country is very similar. The

share of this kind of management, and
it may be stated without fear of contra

the cause of more failures than are

instead OF engaging man who has had
an extended experience in the business

an English tenderfoot, who doesn't

as superintendent; instead of roughing
it at the mine, he lives in luxurious
quarters in the city, and visits the mine
only when he has nothing else to do

and for while everything goes well.
Then there comes time when dividends

IMMIGRATION AND SCHOOLS.

WAYCRoss, GA, Dec. 16.-Editor Morn
ing News: Your editorial remarks in the
NEWS of Saturday are to the point, and If
all the papers in the south will fall into the
same line of reasoning, we may soon see
the immigration, educational and race ques-
tions begin unraveling themselves to the
satisfaction of both the north andsthe south.
While the legislature has not done much,
it nevertheless has made a start, and may
be worked up to proper action in the future.
There is no use in talking about waiting for
immigration to come in order to work up
good school system, for men Of enterprise
cannot afford to move into an unenterpris-
ing state and let their children grow up UNI
educated while they spend their time in the
uphill business of developing the school In
terest. Before they will do that they will
either endure the cold of the north or spend
their winters in Florida, where the people
are trying to improve the educational facill-
ties. Then, il occurs TO me that the natives
Of this state do not want it said that Geor-
gia could not have good schools until the
northern people moved into the state and
worked the matter up for them. Let the
natives go TO work and introduce a proper
school system and then enjoy the credit
for il.
We not only need more money TO carry
on our school work, but we need a better
school system. The probability Is that
thsre is no first class school system In the
extreme southern states, unless IL is Texas.
