DECLINE IN EXPORTS TO ASIA

August exports to Asia and Oceanic
show a falling off of nearly 100000 as
compared with August of last year. This
is explained by the bureau of statistics
as follows:
There are two reasons for this: First,
the war in China Second, the refusal
of exporters on the Pacific coast to fur
nish statements of the value of their
exports to the Hawaiian Islands. which
they claim are no longer foreign terri
tory and that therefore the Bureau
of Statistics has authority
to require statement of the
quantity and value of merchandise pass
ing between those islands and the United
States. The reduction in exports to
China is from 81, ss2, 205 in August, 1899,
to s216, 500 in August. 1900. due of course
to the existence of hostilities in that
country. The apparent reduction in ex-
ports to Hawaii is from $1,0S7, 42i in
August, 1899, to nothing in 1900, though
it is probable that if the facts were
known the exports to the Hawaiian Is
lands in August, 1900. would show a
much larger sum than in August, 1899"
Notwithstanding these adverse condi-
tons our exports to Asia and Oceania
will show during the months ending
with August an increase Of more than
20 per cent over those of the correspond
ing months Of last year, as against an
increase of per cent in our exports to
the South American countries and IA
per cent in our exports to Europe. In
no other part of the world do American
exports show as rapid an increase as in
Asia and Oceania.
To Japan our exports during the
months ending with August amount to
more than 81, 000, 900, as against $12,000,-
600 in the corresponding months of last
year; to China, our exports in the
months ending with July, up to which
time the disturbances had not seriously
affected the exports showed an increase
over the corresponding months of 1899
and 1898; to Hong Kong, our exports for
the months amount to nearly $6.000 900,
as against a trifle more than $5,000,000 in
the corresponding months of last year,
and to the Philippines, our total ex-
ports for the months amount to $685.
600, against 1891, 1855 in the corresponding
months OF last year.

to each of the grand divisions of the
world during the months of 1900, COM

Big Wool Firm Tried to Corner
the Market and Failed.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2s.-Wm. Browne
& Sons, wool dealers, who also own and
operate the Phoenix Mills company
manufacturers top and worsted yarn,
have asked for an extension of time
from their creditors. Members of the
firm today admitted this statement and
added that they believed the extension
would be granted. The liabilities of the
firm are variously given at amounts
ranging from 81, 900 900 to 81, 700, 600. Sam
uel Browne, a members of the firm,
would make no statement as to the LA
bilities or assets, but stated that with an
extension of time, the firm would be
able to pay dollar for dollar.
The principal creditors of the firm, 1t
is said are in this city, but several are
in Boston. The Brownies were the &C
tive spirits in the recent formation of
the worsted combination and it is sta
ted in wool circles that about six
months ago they bought five million
pounds of wool. A fall in prices. the
wool men say, caused them a great loss.
The announcement was also made to-
day that a meeting of the creditors of
James Martin & Sons. dyers and finish
ers, was held at the firms mills in this
city to consider an extension. The firm
is a large one. No statement of its as
sets or liabilities has been made and the
creditors have as yet arrived at no de-
cision in the matter of giving the firm
additional time to meet its obligations

INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try 1t For Yourself and
Prove Il.

One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat eggs or other whole
some food. and this claim has been
proven by actual experiment which any
one can perform for himself in the fol-
lowing manner: Cut hard boiled egg
into very small pieces, as 1t would be IL
masticated, place the egg and two or
three of the tablets in bottle or jar
containing warm water heated to SO
degrees (the temperature of the body)
and keep it at this temperature for three
and one half hours, at the end of which
time the egg will be as completely d.
gested as it would have been in the
healthy stomach of a hungry boy
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
to the egg in the bottle it will do to the
egg or meat in the stomach and nothing
else will rest and invigorate the stomach
so safely and effectually. Even a little
child can take Stuart SIS Tablets with
safety and benefit If it's digestion is
