ton in the ten months ending with Oc-
tober, 1899, is S65S, coo, against s527,-
734, 900 in the corresponding months of
last year. This large increase in i'm

GREAT OUTPUT or PAPER
New Records Made After the Drought
Was Broken

Boston, Nov. 19.-Last week saw, ac-
cording to officials of the International
Paper company, the largest production
of paper in the history of the concern
This was due to the ending of the
drought and the determination on the
part of the managers to operate the
mills to their fullest capacity in order
to meet the demand for their commod-
ity. The recent rains have benefited
more than six hundred of the thousand
or more paper mills in the country,
those in New England being the prin-
cipal gamers. Never mas this industry
well sold ahead. Col. Edward H. Has
kell said today that the mills We're re-
fnsing all new business, so far behind
are they on orders, and there is a con-
stant scramble going on among the
buyers to get paper for their everyday
needs. Prices are naturally very firm,
and there is little to indicate that
things will not keep the present level
for some time to come. Purchasers in
Immediate need of paper are, it is stat
ed, offering extravagant prices for early
delivery; but as the manufacturers
have more orders than they can fill for
three months to come they are not
meeting with much success.
The activity of the mills engaged in
making newspaper, while accounted for
in the main by the demand from pub
fishers, is due in no small degree TO the
unprecedented boom in the wallpaper
trade, which, according to an official OF
the National Continental combine, has
50 increased the orders that the facto-
ries that are being operated cannot sup
ply the demand. This condition os
things has prevented war between the
trust and the Independent factions. The
former has a year contract with the
International Paper company which as
sures a supply of the material, though
the price must have its effect upon
wallpaper values. Another represen-
| tatiye of the National company said
that prices will be advanced for next
season if things do not change, espe-
cially as colors and other articles enter
ing into the manufacture of wallpaper

VALUABLE DATA
Reporf on the Condi ion of HmeIi-
Can Shipping Infere SIS.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The annual
report of Mr. Chamberlain, commits
sioner of navigation, shows that the
American shipping industries shared
in the general prosperity of the coun-
try during the past fiscal year. The
returns disclosed more satisfactory
conditions than those of any former
year in the bureaus history. The total
documented tonnage on June so, 1899,
comprised 22,72S vessels of 4,S64, ,233
gross tons, which is our largest since
1865. The report reviews briefly the
legislation of other nations in behalf
of their merchant shipping, showing
that last year the European nations
and the Japanese expended over $26.
100000 to promote it in various forms.
while the United States spent only
SS9S, ,211. On their steamship lines to
China and Japan the foreign nations
expended about 5000, coo, while for the
same purpose the United States ex-
pended less than S49, 900. The establish
ment of two or more fast American
steamship lines on the Pacific coast

FOREIGN COMMERCE
A Great Record for the Closing Y, ar
"f The Century,

Washington, Nov. 19.-(Special.)-
The foreign commerce of the United
States seems likely to make its high
est record of the century in the clos
ing year of that period. The October
exports are larger than those of any
preceding October the total for the
ten months ending with October is
greater than the total for the cores
ponding period in any preceding year,
and it is apparent that for the first
time in our history the foreign COM
merce of the year will exceed 81, 900 O00,- =
600. For the ten months ending with
October, 1899, the figures of the treas
ury bureau of statistics show the total
exports to be S1,O29, 242, coo, while in the
corresponding months of last year
they We're $685., ,S97. 600.
This remarkable increase in expor-
tations is the more surprising because
of the absence of the excessive demand
abroad for our breadstuffs which char
acterized the year 1S9S In that year
the short crops abroad and plentiful
supplies of breadstuffs of all kinds in
the United States resulted in an alb
normally large expectation of bread
stuffs, so that the expectation of agri-
naturally falls about $35, ,OOO, 900 below
that of the corresponding period of
last year. Yet the total expectations
for the ten months are, as already in
dicated, more than $4O,OOO.0OO in ex-
cess of those of last year.
1t is easy, however, to find the cause
of this remarkable growth in our to-
tai expectations which occurs in the
face of the reduction in our exporta-
tions of breadstuffs. An examination
of the detailed igures of the nine
months of the year already accessible
shows that the exports of manufac
excess of those of the corresponding
months of the preceding year and $685.
OOO, 900 greater than those of the same
months of 1897. while the products of
the mines We're s4,OOO,OOo greater than
those of the corresponding months of
last year, and those of the forest
81. 900, 900 in excess of the corresponding
months of the preceding year. Thus
the years expectation of agricultural
produc ions will be quite up to the
normal while those of manufacture,
mining and forestry will exceed those
of last year and indeed of any year in
our history.
Imports have increased more than
exports, for they We're unusually low
in -S9s, while exports were unusually

A MINORITY LEADER
Mr.. Richardson Profits by the
Inactivity of Candidates.
Congressman DeKrmOnd Was Urged
by His Friends TO Keep Open
House at Washington But Re
fused 10 Do So,

Washington, Nov. 19.-The arriving
members of the house who feel partial
tC Judge De Almond, of Missouri, for
leader of the minority, lament his aver
sion to making an active fight for the
place. He has been urged to come to
Washington and open headquarters, but
has stoutly declined to do so, preferrins
to remain a receptive candidate. Dur
ing the summer he is reported to have
taken no steps toward securing the
honor, except to send out one letter to
each democratic member. In this let
ter he asked for support, but intimated
rrety clearly that he should make no
active fight for it.
The Missouri members will naturally
be the nucleus Of Judge De Almond 8
strength in the democratic caucus. but
he has been so Indifferent tina even
their ardor for him is not at fever pitch.
lis unimpeachable honesty and ability
in debate will naturally attract to him
something of a following, but it is
claimed that his rivals have already
outdistanced him in activity. Repre-
sentative Bankhead, of Alabama, who
entered the field last winter, has writ
ten a considerable number of letters,
requesting democratic votes. Those who
have served on committees with him
and who have known him intimately
have been asked to reserve their selec-
tion of a leadership candidate till he
can have an opportunity for confer
ence with them.
Representative James D. Richardson,
/ OF Tennessee, has been in Washington
most of the summer, but is now absent
i'll Tennessee for a few days. The SEN
timent seems to be that Mr.. Richard
son will have majority for democratic
nominee for speaker. Mr. Richardson
has talked little about his canvass, but
/ it is believed that he has been working
steadily and very effectively in gaining
votes. The ability of the other candi-
dates is in no way disparaged when Mr..
Richardson's friends urge that he is
easily the ablest parliamentarian on the
democratic side, and experienced in
conducting party fights on the floor OF
the house. While he lacks the oratori-
cal gifts and incisive way of speaking
that Judge De Almond possesses, he is
always cool and cIear-headed, and no
amount OF confusion or hurrah will
sweep him off his feet. Another quail
ity strongly urged in his behalf is the
f possession of rare amiability and cour-
tesy, for Mr.. Richardson never loses his
. temper in debate or speaks disrespect-
fully OF his opponents.

NO USE FOR 6RYANiSM
What F1r. Barham Says of ihe People
of California

Washington, D. c., Nov. 19.-Rep-
resentative Barham, of California,
says that Bryan and his anti-impelial
nonsense will not succeed with the
American people. He says that Cali
fcrnia-one of the states which the
democrats are counting on in 190O-wi1
go for Mckinley next year by a major
ity OF 10000. He says that the Califor-
mans have no sort of use for Organism.
Mr.. Barham has been campaigning in
Ohio and elsewhere, and believes that
he has had a very fair opportunity to
discover the drift of public sentiment
The plain people," says Mr.. Bar
ham, believes in expansion. The cry of
Imperialism makes no impression on
them. They believe in the glory of the
country, and are not alarmed by the
hysterical cry of the anti-imperialists.
The president and his policy has the
approval of a majority of the people,
and the result of the elections last
Tuesday makes it certain, if it was not
so before, that Mckinley and Bryan
Will run against each other next year
OF course I do not like to see republi-
cans defeated anywhere, but if our de-
feat in Nebraska was necessary to in
sure the nomination of Bryan again
an' gil of that one defeat Bryan has
not got the people with him. They do
net like the position he takes, and Nc
Kinley viii defeat him easily The
money question will, in my opinion,
hardly be thought of in the next cam
paign. 1t was brushed aside and lost
sight of in the campaign. The people
did not want to hear talk of it from the
stump. The two things all audiences
We're Interested in were. first, eXpan-
sion, and second, trusts. Everywhere
I went in the campaign there was a
demonstration Of approval Of the policy
of expansion. As to the trusts. the
idea seemed to be to get all the infor-
nation possible, and the people seem to
be trying to make up their minds on
the subject. l should say that the pre-
vailing sentiment is in favor Of main
tanning present conditions, and it is
coming to be pretty generally rec
ognized that all the federal legislation
that can possibly be effective in the
regulation of trusts has already been
enacted. The people remember that the
republicans passed law in go and
that the democrats, being in power
since then, did not change that law in
even so much as a punctuation mark.
IF there are evils still to be remedied
the state legislatures must be looked
to-
On the subject of congressional legis-
lation, Mr.. Barham says that congress
should make some declaration of the
gold standard, so that there could be
no doubt about it in the future, and
that a resolution should be passed de-
claring plainly that it is the purpose of
this government to hold the Philip
pines permanently.
