ANOTHER YEAR OF WONDERS.
August Makes II New Record In value
of Exports.


New York Tribune.
For the first time August exports rise ABOVE
a hundred millions. In the natural ebb and
flow of commercial tides 1t has never hap
pened that the exports of that month have
been near the largest Of the year, and when
the old high water mark was reached, with
exports for the first time exceeding a thou
sand millions In a year, the August exports
in 1891 were only $72, $685. Sal in value. Even
in the last two years. with exports
each year over 81, 200, 0OO, 900, those of
August were only $50, S25, $50 in 1897, then
the largest ever known in that month, and
$S4, 565, 561 last year. But this year the
value has been $1O4, GAS. 436. over $780,
600, 900 greater than ever before In
that month. Although imports rose more
than 10 per cent above those Of July, reach
ing Sc, 71S, 757, the excess OF exports In Aug
ust was $37, 929, 500. But the most encourage
ing fact remains. The exports OF great staples
have been somewhat greater than In August
of other years, but other domestic exports,
mostly manufactured, have been greater in
August than in any other month OF any
year and $40, 349.0 900 greater than in any
other August, amounting to $4S, 957 SOB. Con-
sidering the growing anxiety from month to
month, as old contracts for manufactured
articles run out, lest advance in prices might
prevent large exports OF such products, this
report Is exceedingly gratifying.
Once more the exports of the great staples
take a start upward, exceeding those of last
year by 80, 1856. 1913 In August, after falling
below those OF last year in the five months
ording with June. The handsome gain in
July was gratifying. but seemed scarcely
enough to give assurance OF better things
for the new crop year, in part because 1t was
largely due to shipments of products left
over from last years surplus, and the range
OF prices for the new crop year had hardly
been indicated. In August apprehension Of

The Commercial club has given con-
siderable attention to the subject of a
beet sugar factory, but no tangible re-
suits have been obtained. One PROPOSE
ton after another is received, discussed,
threshed over and finally abandoned.
There is no doubt but the soil in this
section is admirably adapted to beet
culture, and there is little doubt that n
beet sugar refinery would be a paying
investment. The raising of capital suf-
ficient to make such an enterprise a so
is, however, another matter.

tons demanding the removal of the SUI
perintendent and reorganization of the
Board of Trustees were not frivolous,
but had for their basis a state of af-
fairs that demands radical reform in
