TRADE STATISTICS.
The Annual Report shows That New
YOrIS's Rivals Are Winning.


Washington, Aug. 25.-The forthcoming
annual report of the bureau of statistics
will show the percentages OF the aggre-
gate exports of the United States for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1887, at seventy
Of the principal customs ports.
1t is shown that the exports from the
port Of New York have fallen off from 40. 80
per cent Of the whole in 1895 to 37.2 in
1881 BostOn's exports were 9.41 per cent.
in 1896, and $50 in 1897 New Orleans has
made a gain from s.47 per cent. in 1895 to
9.G6 in 1897. Baltimore also increased her
exports from 7.52 per cent. i'm 1896 to SIS per
cent. this year. This Increase is said to be
due to the large increase of shipments of
corn. The exports from Philadelphia in
creased from 7.52 per cent. in 1896 to SIS
per cent this year. The increase is said to
be due to the recent exceptionally large
shipments of wheat. There was also an in
crease at San Francisco from 2.79 per cent.
in 1894 TO 377 in 1897. Galveston. Tex, in
creased from 412 per cent. in 1895 to $40
this year. ami Newport News, Va, from
les in 1896 to 2.10 this year. Puget Sound,
Wash, increased from O.7s per cent. In 1896
to lib in 1891 Norfolk and Portsmouth,
Va, increased from on in 1896 20 In this
year. Chicago increased from OILS per cent.
IN 1896 to 0.22 per cent this year.
In imports New York shows a falling Off
from 64l2 per cent. from the whole inn
ports in the United States in 1896 to 62.s6 in
1897. Boston shows an increase from 10. 16
TO 11.S0 per cent. New Orleans increased
from LA to 2.17. Baltimore fell off from
LIB to l49. Philadelphia increased from
5.62 to go San Francisco fell off from
SAL to $50. Chicago fell Off from 1.99 to 1.51
per cent. These figures report the goods
that went through the several customs
houses and do not take in to account the
locality from which the shipments were
made. Thus a cargo Of cattle shipped from
Chicago 20 New York by rail and thereon
for export to Liverpool would be record
ed as an export from New York.

FuIton's Commissioners Invite
Those of other Counties to Hold
Meeting.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 25.-The commissioner
of roads and revenues of Fulton county
have determined to see what the county
commissioners of the state can suggest to
the coming Legislature in regard to better
roads and the disposition of the convicts.
With this aim in view a call for a conven-
ton of the county commissioners was is
sued to-day by the local commissioners.
The convention is to be held in Atlanta on
Sept. 16, and it is expected that every one
of the 90 counties, having a board of COM
missioners of roads and revenues will be
represented
The cali for the convention, which will
be one of the most important gatherings
of the state officials ever held as it will
make a new era in road building as well
as in furnishing valuable ground work
for the disposition of part of the state con-
victs, says: 1T is believed that great good
viii necessarily result from a meeting and
exchange of ideas from the different COM
missioners. There are a number of matters
which closely concern the different coun-
ties and about which some united plan
should be agreed upon. Heretofore there
has been no unity of action on any subject.
one of the most important matters to
come before this meeting will be discus
sion of how to best serve the interest of
the several counties in disposing of the
convicts. The early expiration of the pres
ent lease requires solution
Of this question The DISPOSE
ton which may be made will
probably last many years, and this rem
ders ii very important.
The united experience of the several
boards of commissioners dealing with the
management of the convicts in every part
of the state under the different conditions
which prevail at different points, will fur
nish information and aid in solving this
question that can be obtained from no
other source In addition to this, many
other important questions could be prof.
tably discussed, such as a revision of the
existing road laws, the best methods of
securing good roads, including methods
by which adjoining counties should har-
monte their roads system, also questions
of sanitation and generally the matters
which have to be dealt with by the
boards of commissioners.
After the business of the meeting has
been dispatched a barbecue will be ex-
tended to the visiting commissioners by
the members of the Fulton county board.
The railroads have agreed to give a rate
of one and One-third fare to the visiting
commissioners. tickets to be purchased on
the certificate plan
