TBy Anglo-American cablo to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, Enc, August 1O.-The Times,
commenting on the returns issued by the
Board OF Trade, SAYS: The returns are
unsatisfactory. The decline in imports
are due chiefly 10 the lower value OF manu-.
featured articles. metals. and the imported
raw materials tor sundry industries and
manufactures In the raw materials for
textile manufactures there has been an in
crease Of 800, 900 and In food-stuifs an ip-
crease of nearly E300.000. The increase IN
the latter is due to the advance in corn
and not TO an increased amount. lie de-
cline i'm exports j. distributed over the
whole list. The Mckinley law has been
the great cause of the disturbance. Tho
PROSPECT of the law last year swelled eX-
ports TO tho United States while those
markets were still open. English mer-
chants and Manufacturers ayalled tnem-
selves Of the outlet and We're met with
equal interest on the part Of America To
buy at lower rates. The Mckinley law
now in force has had the effect expected
and intended. Our exports to tho United
Scates decreased under several headings,
and although they have advanced under
other headings. this advance Is not sum
cient 10 balance the general trade loss.

than they otherwise would have been. and
thev compare unfavorably with tho time
when the exports were abnormlnally large.
The effects of hostile trade also, are great
est and most visible at first; in the course
of time things generally recover ~ Old
trade channels are closed. but trade goes
bv more circuitous route under condi-
tions less advantageous to the purchaser
than TO the exporter. The Mckinley law
hai been "a severe blow TO some branches
Of trade. but the chief sufferer will be the
country. which has been 80 unylse as 10
establish it. The Board Of Trade returns
aae therefore less unsatisfactory than they
anpear. They do not show that our trade
resources are impaired. or that the energy
which has carried Us 10 the front Of the
trading countries of the world will not
maintain US in the place which 1t has en-
abed us TO win.'

WASHINGTON. August lO.-The Treasury
Department has ordered the resumption
of printing two dollars from the Hancock

prove an incentive to increased efficiency

the country will be gathered by this
subcommittee, which will begin its
work at once For several months to
come its time will be taken up by the
collection of statistical information, but
in the early fall it expects to take the
testimony Of a large number of people

day evening from Baltimore, where for
two days Inequalities had been showered
