OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The Closing Month of 1903 Exceeds
NIL Others of that Unprecedented
Commercial Year in the Excess OF
its Exports Over Imports.
New York Journal of Commerce: The
closing month Of 1898 exceeds all others
OF that unprecedented commercial year
in the amount OF It's exports and In the
excess Of exports over imports. The
December shipments OF merchandise
amount TO sl37,2i7. 900, which surpasses
all previous records, and exceeds the
monthly average OF the preceding por-
ton of the year by s33, 100000. Deccm-
her Is usually the most active period OF
the year In our outward commcrce;but.
last year. the shipments of that month
surpassed the average OF the cores
ponding month OF the preceding five
years by S34.C00.000. The imports Of
merchandise for December are valued
at s53.Sol .0O0-a gain Of s2.3l5.OOO over
the same month OF 1897; but s5,1590O0
less than In 1896: compared with the
exports, however. the latter show an
excess Of SIS, ago. 900. which Is by far the
largest monthly creditor balance in the
records OF our foreign trade: for the
same month Of 1897. the balance In our
favor was S73.54S,OOO and in 1896 $685.
900.
1t Is n gratifying fact that the year OF
an important war has been the record
year in our export trade. whilst the
imports have fallen to the lowest fig
ures touched within the last thirteen
years. The following comparison
shows the imports and exports of mer-
chandise and also the surplus OF eN-
ports over imports for each of the last
six calendar years

This movement seems almost incrcd-
IDLE and. viewed in anticipation, it
would have been pronounced COM
mcrcial impossibility. To certain OK
tent, the great expansion OF our eS-
ports Is to be regarded as the result of
natural outburst OF the national pro-
ductive energy. which for some time
has been held ir restraint by policies
inimical to public confidence: and to
that extent the movement may be re-
Earded as normal and permanent. The
extraordinary export figures. however.
are largely due to short crops abroad
and large yields in this country, to-
Gether with generally higher prices for
staple food products. The value OF
brcadstuffs exported last year exceed
cd that Of those OF 1887 by $4,000. 900.
and yet 1897 was an extraordinary year
In that class of exports. The shipments
OF provisions exceed those of 1897 by
Sls,000,0O0: and we have thus n large
portion of the increase in exports due
to these two classes OF products. the

dentcdly abundant. The shipments OF

100000. and yet the movement of 1897
was exceptionally heavy. 1t is not to
be expected that this rate of abund-
ancc of our leading staples of export.
together with relatively high prices for
most OF them, can be much longer con-
tinued. AS to the imports. 1t would
seem probable that the steady contrac-
ton Of their volume is due to a real
and solid gain in our ability to manu-
facture In competition with foreign
producers; in which case. this import
ant element, in our foreign trade bal
ance may be expected to prove perma-

Six years Is n period long enough to

In still larger ratio in the expor.a-

according 10 the usual course and to
meet the wants OF rapidly growing
population. an increase in an equal ra-
Ito might rather have been expected.

our foreign purchases. we have had an

TRADE TREATY WITH FRANCE.
Board OF Trade Endorses Resolution
From Chamber of Commerce.

The American Chamber of Commerce at
Paris recently sent to the Board of Trade
of this city a resolution approving of a
commercial treaty between France and
the United States. In explaining the re-
solution, the President of the Chamber
said
80 soon as the probable results OF a
commercial treaty are closely examined
and looked into from our American point
of view, it will be apparent that a eonsid-
cradle increase will take place in the ex-
ports of this country to France Condi-
tions generally favor such an increase.
America is seeking new markets. AT pres
ent many of her articles, and among them
the most important, are shut out from
France because of the high duty. France
has this day commercial treaties and COM
mercial arrangements wisil thirty-one ma
lions. America is the only large country
which has no commercial treaty With
France. All our machinery, for instance,
has to pay much more than sim'i&r ma
chinery coming from switzerland. As 1t
is. much does come to France, but II It
