'es a Hammer Year for Export Trade.

The fiscal year of 1898 was the ban
ner year of the foreign trade OF the
United States, our exports being the
largest ever recorded for like period,
and our imports exceptionally small.
According to a comprehensive report
just prepared by Frank II. Hitchcock,
chief of the section of foreign markets
of the agricultural department, the
total value of our domestic exports
reached the enormous sum of 81, 2lO,-
POI, 913, exceeding the record breaking
figures of the preceding year by Sl7s,-
2s4, $40. On the other hand the inn
ports during 1898 were the smallest
since 1885, their value being S6l6, 049,-
654, decline of S14s, 61O,75s from the
figures of 1897. Broadly stated, for
every dollars worth of foreign mer-
chandise brought into the United
States, two dollars worth of our pro-
ducts found market abroad. Our
domestic exports as compared with our
imports showed an excess of 1894, 242,-
$50, or more than twice the excess for
1897, which was the largest previously
reported.

NO TRoUHLE TO SHOW GOODS.
Main Street Merchants Use Sidewalk to
Display Wares.

lEioA oatuAAaJ o6uJsJ fi.f
Two Main street furniture dealers
this morning were ordered by. the po-
lice to remove their DISPLAY, of wares
from the sidewalk where they had
been placed as an advertisement. First
one dealer would place a couch on the
walk; the other dealer would go him
one better, and not only place couch
on the walk, but bring out table.
The man across the street would hunt
up an easy chair, the other fellow
would find a secretary and an extern
sion table. Rivalry was keen and oc-
casioned much amusement for the pas
sersby, who did not much mind the
discomfort that was attendant upon
blocking up the sidewalk, as soon as
they tumDled to the fact that it was
a contest between rival merchants.
Chief Williams ordered the patrolman
on Main street to see that all the OBJ
structions on the sidewalk, that ex-
tended over two feet from the build
ing, were removed. AT late hour
this afternoon the order had not been
complied with, and matters were going
alone in the good old way.
