strength of the financial position of the
United States is the character of the i'm
port trade. The revival of commercial pros
perty, affording surplus of purchasing
power, would naturally be followed by the
purchase of articles of voluntary use and
luXuries. This was the case during the ten
months ending with April, to the extent
that the imports of these articles increased
from $66, 130, 200 in 1893 to $7691O sos for
1893, but there was also a marked increase
in the purchase of articles in a crude con-
diton as the raw materials of American
manufactures. This increase for the ten
months ending with April was from SILL
1872, 800 in 1898 to s1S2S4S, 719 in 1885, Of
which more than 100000 was in the
month of April alone. This classification
has not been completed for May, but is
likely to show an increased demand for
foreign raw materials approaching that for
April
The export of American manufactured
goods has not fallen off in spite of an in
creased domestic demand, and appears to be
the chief factor in maint tanning the volume
of American exports. The exports of GER

122571 in May, 1898, to $50,345, go in May
last, but this loss of nearly 81, 600 900 was
partly made up by exports of manufac-
lures and other articles so that the net
decline in exports in May was only from
Sill, 2S3 435 in 1898 to SD3. S36, 4S9 in 1899.
The difference between the total loss and
that on the leading crude articles was
about 100000.
If this represents gain in exports of
manufactures, which is probably the case
TO large extent, the exports of manufac-
tured goods will leap from $27 OBJ 700 in
May of last year to more than $32 600 600
in May, 1S99-an amount only twice euualed
in the commercial history of the country
A considerable decline in the merchandise

The Kol Nidre, or special service for

The agonzng itching and burning OF the skin, as in Eczema the

scalp, as in scaled head; the facial Disagreement, as in pimples and
ringworm; the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worm out

relief the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety
