THE coPRA INDUSTRY.
An Important Trade May Be Trans
1eFrsd to the United States
from MaFseilles.

Consul Skinner at Marseilles invites
attention to the fact that the occupa-
ton of the Philippines by the United
States may lead to the transfer to the
United States Of an industry now al
most exclusively confined to the city
Of Marseilles. He refers to the copra
industry, and states the situation as
follows:
1.-THE crushing of oleaginous seeds
and cocoanuts, for the extraction of the
oil they contain, has for many years
given employment to hundreds of work
men, and the skillful use of blended oils
in the manufacture of soap gave to this
city its worldwide reputation for the
latter. Inmore recent times, the Amer
ican cotton seed oil has to large eX-
tent replaced the copra or cocoanut oil,
at the same time severely gripping the
seed-crushing business. A soap manu-
facturer advises me that the cotton oil
cannot, however, entirely supplant the
cocoanut oil, as the former, if used
alone, produces a soap too soft to be
acceptable to commerce; and the lat
ter, If unmixed with cotton or peanut
oil, makes n soap as much too hard.
1 dIu luIOTIlcu lliut Il uhC VI hOout
half and half produces the best results,
and that the failure of Marseilles man
ufacturers to maintain these proper
tions has been followed by distinct
falling off in the quality of some IA
nous brands of Marseilles soaps.
1.-THE copra or cocoanuts crushed in
Marseilles come almost exclusively
from the Philippine islands. In the
year 1897 the imports amounted to $780,
12O metric quintals, in addition to
which 1910 metric quintals were i'm
ported from the French colonies. The
highest price paid at Marseilles during
1897 WAS $6.94 and the lowest $5.31
The nuts fall from the trees and lie on
the ground until the hard shell sep
arates from the kernel and decays. The
kernels appears to lose none of its use
full qualities, though permitted to re-
main on the ground for year or more.
When a favorable opportunity occurs
the copra is gathered, dumped into
some small coasting boat, and eventual
ly reaches Marseilles. AT the present
time the price is uncertain and almost
double the average figure, because of a
complete suspension of arrivals from
Manila. On January II the total stock
of copra in the docks and warehouses
was only 1880 quintals, and the fear
now prevails that the troubles among
the natives will prevent the shipment
of any considerable quantity for some
time to come.
1.-THE assurance that means Of COM
nunication between the Philippines
and the United States will soon be
established will make it appear easy
for American capital to build and oper-
ate crushing mills; and, with cotton
oil in unlimited quantities. to draw
upon, the manufacturers of soap will
be in possession of additional resources
for carrying on their business."-Wash-

A strange grave contains the body of
Charles Carter, of Russell, Kan. He
was cleaning out an old well when the
queksand caved in on him covering
him up to his neck. He lived 5S hours.
AS it was found impossible to remove
his body, the well was filed in, and
thus became his grave.
In 1897, while this country's gold
production exceeded $40, 900, the
output of precious stones reached only
the modest figure of S130.675. The prin-
cipal items of this total were: Tur-

GREAT RIDING CONTEST
Famous Equestrians to Contest TO

Circus bareback riding is not wha
it used to be. No, not by a grea
deal. The remarkable evolutions O
modern time riders would prove
stunning surprise to the ancien,
equestrians could they but glance il
at an up-to-date circus.
Without doubt the three greatest
male bareback riders in the world ar,
Oscar LOwande, of Buenos Ayres
South America; William DeMott, O.
Great Britain, and "Stick" Davenport,
of this country. Numerous efforts to
arrange an international riding tour,
namet in which the the famous eques-
trian kings could participate in a con-
test for the worlds championship belt
were fruitless, and it remained for
representative of the Forepaugh-Sell
circus, after two years of negotiations
to close contract with the riders to
appear with that show throughout tn
present season. a
However, this was only accomplitp
ed by an offer of princely sum ~,
money to the individual men and n
costly diamond championship belt
the winner of the contest. Famou.
horsemen of eight cities, where the
Forepaugh-Sells show will appear dur.
ing the season, have been selected to
act as judges of the tournament, and
their decision of points will be accept.
ed as final. When the season closes
these points will be tabulated, and
the rider receiving the most will be
awarded the championship belt, de-
signed by Tiffany, the New York jew
eler.>
These noted riders will appear with,
the Forepaugh-Sells circus when it ex-
hibits in OwOsso, Wednesday July 20,
at which time splendid opportunity
will be presented to the citizens of this

exhibition.

Prosperity and the Tariff.

The Southern Milling and Lumber Jour-
nal, published at Wilmington, n. c., in the
heart of the vast timber regions of that sec
ton, and an authority on lumber, says:
Were we asked to assign reason for the
widespread prosperity and activity in the
lumber trade of this country to- day., we
would unhesitatingly and without reserve
ascribe existing conditions to the present
tariff laws of tie United States, whereby
American markets are being primarily held
first for American manufactures and pro-
ducers, by and through the leveying of 50
duty on all foreign importations of lumber.
The fact remains and we make bold to
say, that under our present tariff laws every
branch of American industry Is fiourshiDg,
whereas under the free trade or low tariff
laws few years ago every single, solitary
industry languished, and not few of them
persisted from the face of the earth. Facts
beat fiction, and dollars and cents tell the
story. That's the whole story In nutshell.
Many would, doubtless, have 1t otherwise
but the stern hand of fate has decreed 1t so.

Our Trade For a Year.

The commercial statistics for the year end.
ing June 80 have been complied and the
showing is very satisfactory and satisfying.
The exports aggregated 81. 1927. 443, 425; the
imports were $697, or, 3Ss. and the apparent
balance of trace in our favor $3.50, 1856, 037.
Since 1895 the United States has enjoyed a
foreign trade without parallel in its history.
During those three years the balance of
trade In its favor has reached nearly a
billion and half This balance has been
partially settled by net importations of SOL
OIL, 006 of gold during that period Some
of 1t has been wiped out by ocean freight
paid foreigners and by the return of Ameri-
can securities from Europe, but there is
reason to believe considerable part of
that big balance Is still due this country.
The exports for the fiscal year just ended
fell 81, 900, 600 below those of the fiscal year
of 1898, bat that difference is a mere triAe
and was due entirely to the decreased de-
mand of Europe for American breadstuffs
because foreign crops were better. While
the expectation of agricultural products fell
off, there was an increase of $45, 900, 900, or
1516 per cent, in the export of Manufactured
articles. The agricultural export may
fluctuate with the crop conditions at home
demand for our manufactured products is
most encouraging because, in all probability,
permanent.

OF all men in the United states at the
present moment, probably John Barrett,
former United States minister to SIAM is
the one best qualified by personal knowledge
to discuss the Philippine situation. Mr..
Barrett has spent the past five years in the
far east. Long before the Spanish war he
had travelled over a large portion of Luzon
and had visited the islands of the other
Philippine groups, In May, 1898, after
Dewey had annihilated SPANS fleet in Man
lila Bay, Mr. Barrett returned and remained
in the vicinity of Manila for seven months.
Finally. after the lighting with the Fill
pinos began in February he came back to
the scene of hostilities, and only lett to set
sail for America in the middle of March.
Mr.. Barrett contributes to the Review of
Reviews for July a summary of his impress

and observation. The article is highly
