NEW YORK. March S.-The stock market

when there was considerable activity. The
interest largely centered in the coalers, which
made some handsome advances, and a number

other stocks. The published report of a com

ground for the strength in those properties
Much interest attached to the declaration Of
the regular dividend in Sugar. The market
waited until it was announced and then mod
crate activity appeared. Sugar after opening
higher and then losing more than the earlier
gain, rose about 1 points for the day. The
large payment which the Government was to
make TO the Southern Pacific the claim al
lowed by Congress lent strength 10 that prop
erty. The stagnation which prevailed the
greater part Of the session, with fluctuations Of
only 1s so, was dispelled in the final deal

OUR IMMENSE TRADE.

American manufacturers seem likely to make
their greatest record in the fiscal year which
ends four months hence. The reports of the
Treasury Bureau OF Statistics covering seven
months of the fiscal year show that the ex-
portation of domestic manufactures is $25
200. 900 greater than the highest record ever be-
lore made in the corresponding months of the
fiscal year During the seven months ended
February l, 1899. the exports of domestic man
ufactures amounted to $lS2, .503 an aver
age Of $1,000, Geo a day for every business day of
that period. Not only are the manufacturers
increasing their sales in foreign markets. but
they evidently supplying TO a greater eX-
tent than ever before the home market. The
imports Of manufactures in the seven months
under consideration amount TO only S14l, 200. S12.
or S35, 600 900 less than the manufactures ex-
ported. The exports of manufactures during
The past seven months have been nearly % per
cent greater than the imports of manufactures.
Comparing conditions with those of decade
ago, the evidence of gain by our manufacturers
Is even more striking. In the seven months
ended February 1. 1889, our exports of manu-
faCtures We're SIS. 751 933; in the seven months
ended February !. 1899, they We're S1S2. 1886 5O3,
an increase Of 151 per cent. on the other hand.
Imports of manufactures in the decade have
fallen % per cent. despite the fact that the
consuming population has meantime increased
p per cent. The imports of manufactures in
she seven months ended February l, 1899. were
1884 9q6 IT'S, against $14S 500 972 the correspond
ing seven months ended February l, 1899.

unued depression IS simply that light as the
