PHILADELPHIA. December 2.-The
National Export Exposition, which was
opened here on September 18th, closed to-
night and the managers report that the
affair has been entirely successful in

ton OF the exposition. During the TWO
months and a half that 10 has been

A feature Of the affair was the Inter-
national Commercial Congress, which was
I'm session during the last three weeks Of
October. j was attended by $50 foreign
delegates representing forty nations. In
addition to this. delegates wer8 registered
from 200 chambers Of commerce Of the
United States.
Among the conclusions reached by the
Congress We're the following: THAT there
should be an assimilation Of trademark
laws throughout the world FOR the pro-
lection Of commerce. that the parcel-post
system should DO established I'm all cOun-
tries. that trade statistics should be as
simulated and international bureaus form
ed FOR the collection and dissemination
of agricultural reports as 10 cereals, that
reciprocal commercial relations through
out tho world would be vastly promoted
by the creation in each country Of an in
ternatiOnal bureau Of commercial infOr-
nation, organized and operated on the
lines instituted by the Philadelphia Mu-
scum. Of this city; that there should be
international courts Of arbitration created
in all countries. 10 which all differences
among the nations should be submitted,
and that an inteTOceaniC canal across the
isthmus which unites North and South
America should be az once constructed
