TIE NATIONS STRENGTH.

Every day makes It more difficult to keep up
the alarm about foreign trade and monetary
prospects. The return Of exports OF principal
products in September has just been published,
and IS IN many respects remarkable. II was
not 10 he expected that the extraordinary ex-
ports of cotton and petroleum in September of
last year would be equalled. especially because
the price OF cotton has fallen about two cents
since September 1. and averaged in September
more than one cent less than last year, which
would fully account for the difference Of 5000
600 in value, while petroleum has declined rela-
lively even more. and enough to account for n
decrease Of nearly S2000,000. instead Of only
SG4OOOO The Increase of about S2,5OO,OW in
provisions, cattle and hogs was alone nearly
enough TO balance these differences. Thus the
increase Of S11,600.0OO, or more than 100 per
cent in brcadstufs counts nearly all as clear
gain for this year compared with last.
In comparison with previous years the figures
show a much greater increase, for in September
of last year the rising tide of exports. which
made the aggregate for the fiscal year beyond
all precedent in the history Of the country, had
gained full force. III that month the exports
Of principal products were more than 10000
600 larger than IN 1895, and the total exports
were larger by S2G7O0,OOO. The comparison
with previous years is here shown in millions
and decmals. S346 standing for SS4.600,000:
