RECORD
Of kXpIrls For May was tn
Highest Ever Made

WASHINGTON, JUNE 30.-Forty mil
lion dollars worth of manufactures were
exported from the United States i'm the
month vf May 1, 1900, and twenty-five mill
lion dollars worth of manufactu ma
terials were imported into the United
States This is a higher record both In
sportatio nof manufactures and impor-
tat1on of manufacturers materials than
was ever made in any preceding month
in the history of our forsdgn commerce
and manufactures. This assures "a total
expectation Of manufactures in the fis-
cal year 1900 Of fully 425 million dollars
and an Importation of manufacturers
materials of 800 million dolars, which will
make the record i'm both exports Of man.
ufactures and imports Of manufacturers
materials much higher than that of any
preceding year. On ony four occasions
has the importation of manufacturers
materials reached the 5000 0000 600 line,
while In the year just ended it Will be, as
aready Indicated, about 300 million dol
lars-an increase Of so per cent over the
average of the past five years. Exports
of manufactures i'm 1899 were 33S million
dollars and Will be fully SIPS 100000 in 1900
~-an increase of nearly or quite $4,000 600;
while no earlier year ever showed an in
crease of as much as $50, 900 O00.
The total Importation of manufactures
for the year Will aggregate about $685.
100000, and las already indicated the to-
tai exports of manufactures will aggre-
gate S425, ,00O0 900. Prior to 1898 imports of
manufactures always exceeded exports
of manufactures. In 1883 imports of man
ufactures were 2 times the amount of
exports of manufactures; in 1893 they
were still more than double the amount
of the exports in 1896 they were nearly
90 per cent greater than the exports and
In 1898 for the first time the exports OF
manufactures were greater than the inn
ports of manufactures, the figures for
that year being, respectively: Imports
Of manufactures, $226, 600, 900; exports of
manufactures. $500 100000. Since that
time exports OF manufactures have stea-
oily increased and as above indicated
win exceed the imports of manufactures
by about 100000. 900

prise. already has its hammer out
against baseball league such as pro-
posed by Belden Hill, mentioned in
Yesterdays ARGUS. The Herald says
Quincy has been invited to Join in the
organization. and adds:
Quincy has got along very well
this summer without a professional
baseball club or mem bership in a
professional league. The fans and
rooters have had as much entertain
ment as they desired and have not
been called upon to put up money to
pay for managers who sit around the
hotel Hobbies and do no labor except
with their mouths. 1t has dawned
upon the rooters and fans that a base
ball match played by evenly balanced
amateur clubs made up of home or
neigh boring cities young men is as
as game by the So
called professional clubs and that it is
not nearly so expensive. 1t is alto,
gether likely that Quincy will ask to
be excused from participation"

SOUTH DAKOTA TOUR
Bryan Closes His Trip In That
State At Aberdeen, After a
Hard Days Work.
RoosEVELTs SPECIAL IN KANSAS.
President Mckinley Has a Day OF
Hand Shaking - Prohibition
Special In Minnesota,

Aberdeen, s. D., Sept. 29.-ColOnel
William J. Bryan completed his tour OF
South Dakota at this place last night
He arrived here at $50 p. IN. and i'm
mediately repaired 10 the speaking
place near the Corn Palace. where hC
was met by one of the largest crowds
that have greeted him during the cam,
paign. The day had been n very busy
one. but the Democratic candidate has
seldom appeared to better advantage.
He was in excellent voice and spoke
with distinctneSS and grace. During the
day Bryan travelled 260 miles and made
almost a dozen speeches. He began the
day with a three minute speech at Elk
Point and his first speech of length
was made at Yankton. After this speech
he made long addresses in the towns of
Scotland, Mitchell, Woonsocket, Huron,
Redfield and Aberdeen. The crowds
were good at all the places at which
the party stopped. and especially So at
this point and Mitchell.
Meetings Were Held In the Open Air.
At YanktOn the audience was not so
large as it would have been but for IA
misunderstanding as to the time the
place was to be reached. Here, and
also at most other places in the state,
the meeting was held in the open air.
This arrangement, while serving the
convenience of the townSpeOple, proved
quite a tax upon Bryan'S strength, as
we'll as a loss of time. The day was
ideal for outdoor speaking in respect to
weather. being very marked in contrast
to Thursday. There were Il few clouds
in the sky early in the morning. and
there was IA sharp and nipping air, but
the sun soon broke through and with it
came warmth as well as brightness. y
feature noticeable at all the meetings
of the day was the number of flags dis
played. They We're small in size but
they were carried by almost every one
at each stopping place in the state.
Bryan left here last night for North
Dakota, where he was booked to make
nine speeches today.
RooseveIt's Trip Through Kansas.

greater than at any other time during
the trip west of the Mississippi river.
Big meetings were held al Abilene, Sa-
lima and LindsbOrg. The last meeting
of the day was at this place, and as it
was night meeting and had been we'll
prepared for and advertised it was by
far the greatest demonstration of the
day.
