cord though the items or divergence are
not known beyond the White House.
1t is said that as Admiral Dewey is
nenring the United States the oppOr-
tunity to have meeting Of the full COM
mission, of which he is 4 member, is one
that should not be lost, and the report
that may be expected to sum up their
work will be indispensable to congress in
it's efforts Mt legislation for the islands.
No statement can be had officially as to
the future Of the commission, but 1t Is
not regarded as probable that 1t will re-
turn to the islands, at least not without
a considerable change in personnel.
The recall Of Messrs. DENLY and Wor-
cester will leave General Otis the sole
representative Of the commission in the
Philippines.
General Otis has cabled the war de-
partment n request for additional star
officers for service in the Philippines.
He asks for one additional judge advocate
general, two assistant adjutants general,
two inspectors general, eight quarter
masters, nine commissaries of subslS-
tcncc and two engineer officers. The ad-
jutant general has called upon the heads
of these different bureaus to designate
officers for this duty, as the Importance
of having all the officers of the staff afk-
ed for before the next active campaign
begins is recognized by the department.

WILL NOT BOYCOTT,
Professor Rogers on Our Relations
with Paris Exposition.

Albany, Sept. 16.--Howard j. Rogers,
director of education and social economy
for the United States at the Paris expo
sition, says that no applications for space
in his division had been withdrawn or
any indication of it been made on ac-
count of the Dreyfus affair. At the New
York offices, he said, more applications
for space were received in the last ten
days than in any month previous Mr..
Rogers further said:
"While the Dreyfns decision was based
on testimony that would be absolutely
worthless in an American court, it must
not be forgotten that Dreyfus' indivilu-
ality is only one item in the case. There
is at the bottom Il vital struggle between
the civil and military authorities for SUI
premacy, and the court martial at Rennes
Is only one episode in the drama.
1.-The attempt to boycott the exposition
on account of the verdict, unjust as it is.
will be to embarrass the civil authorities,
who are the representatives of the re-
publican form of government, the friends
OF Dreyfus and the friends of the
United States and play into the hands of
the military clique and it's monarchical
supporters, who are seeking pretext to
attack the present republic. The friends
of Dreyfus could do nothing worse for
him than to organize boycott on the
exposition"

Shoes, Leather and Hides.

Boot and shoe shipments in two weeks
have been 192,221 cases against 21OO02
in the same weeks of 1897, and 179S04
in 1893, but smaller in every other year.
The demand is hesitating except for
speedy delivery, which is urgently de-
manded from all quarters. In leather
there has been Il smart decline in de-
mand, though following heavy sales of
sole and union last week. There are
some indications that the advance in
prices has been pushed quite as far as
the market will bear. Hides are still
pushed higher by packers at Chicago, but
prices recently quoted for country hides
are hardly obtainable, and tanners are
quite generally disposed to wait.
The heavy sales of wool, 12O56,9OO
pounds for the week and p ,2S2, 100 for
two weeks against 36,G29, 400 in 1897, are
largely due to heavy manufacturing pur-
chases at Boston. but there, as elsewhere,
the buying is mostly based on expecta-
ton that London sales, beginning next
Tuesday, will show an important ad-
vance. Prices here are stiff. and the de-
mand for WOODEN goods Of all sorts is
strong.
Failures for two weeks have been 49,
3O3, $50 in amount, manufacturing, $429,-
30l, and trading, Sl,3S5,217, the other
failures including one in real estate for
81, 100000. Failures for the week have

The Movement of Grain.

The great movement in grain, in wheat
and flour a little larger than last year in
August. and in two weeks of September
1920. 273 bushels flour included, from
Atlantic ports. against 4,351,O1O last
year, and fror1 Pacific ports 100, 559
bushels against 1854, 144 last year, is far
more effective in preventing a decline in
prices than any official or unofficial esti-
mate of yield. Government reports in
dictate a wheat crop of only 516OOO,OOO
bushels, but last year the September re-
port indicated 5S5,OO0.OOO bushels, and
afterward the official tatun made it
675, 100000 bushels, and none would be
surprised to see a like revision this year.
The prices, in spite Of good exports,
have fallen three-eighths of cent, for
western receipts have been 1860, 455
bushels against 14,663,S05 last year,
while corn exports have been 6,OS3,212
bushels against 4,351 ,331 last year. The
feeling is not unreasonable that foreign
needs are just now well indicated by the
corn movement. At this season cotton
shipments are always small, and hopes
or fears rule the market, but prices have
declined during the week one-sixteenth
with a little less disposition to buy on
foreign account

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of the
Business Situation.
VOLUME Is UNPRECEDENTED.
New YOrk's Commercial Agency De-
clares That Trade Is Larger Than
Ever BefOre-Our Growing BUSH
ness With other Nations.

New York, Sept. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Better than all other news, the record
Of August commerce shows the relation
of United States business to that Of 9TH
err countries. Exports were $2O,OS2,S 75
larger than ever before in August and
exceeded imports by $37,929,G99, partly
because exports of staples were $780,
97S larger than last year, but also be-
cause exports of other products, mainly
manufacturing, We're $10,249,000 larger
than last year and larger than in any
other month of any year. Fears that
great advance in prices might shut off ex
ports of manufactured products have not
been unnatural and it is most gratifying
to find that such exports still continue
aul expand. The excess of exports over
imports gives fair promise of as large
balance in foreign trade to the benefit Of
this country during the winter as has
ever been seen. That manufactured ex-
ports do not fall off, but are larger than
ever, is both surprising and gratifying
The volume of business now in prog
rcss has never been rivaled. Clearing
house payments in the second week of
September were 29.2 per cent larger than
last year and $50 per cent larger than
in 1892. Railroad earnings in the first
week of September were 9.6 per cent
larger than last year and 131 per cent
larger than in 1892; returns covering
half the mileage Of the country show
earnings in the United States amounting
for August to So, SCI 300, exceeding last
years by 1871 per cent, and those of 1892
by 1875 per cent. and the July returns
covering all the large systems show earn
ings of 500, 1913. 522, exceeding last years
by 1876 per cent and those of 1892 by
14.2 per cent. The tonnage movement
from Chicago was nearly 60 per cent
larger than in 1892 and 80 per cent lar
ger than in 1898.
