exports to total exports was 81 per

not far distant when the products of
our shops and factories Will be sold
abroad as freely and in as great value
as the products OF our farms"
During last year the range of prices
was steadily on the advance: gross
railway earnings increased 10.7 per
cent. and net earnings 12.1 per cent;
there was large and well-diffused
harvest of agricultural crops bringing
good returns: the output of the mines,
including metals as well as coal, was
high above the average; wages gener-
ally advanced and arc still advancing;
and that the American people are saw
ing some of their earnings Is shown
by the figures of the comptroller of
the currency which indicate a gain of
nearly so per cent. in the number of
deposit accounts in the national banks
within the decade Just ended, and a
gain in the value of those deposits of
nearly $1,000 000,0 600. On this basis, t.

A Year of Trade rliracles.

Y Y pom THE ESTIMATE that
our foreign commerce will
~ be pushed by the official fig
ures for December beyond
the $2,0O0,OO0,000 mark notwithstand-
ing a decline in the foreign demand
for breadstuffs, DR.. William p. Will
son, director of the commercial muse
ums of Philadelphia, has prepared q
highly instructive analysis of our in
ternational trade achievements and
prospects.
After noting that for 1899 the exports
of manufactures will exceed those OF
the phenomenal year 1898 and will
amount to over 80 per cent. of the
total exports. he says: while the i'm
ports have increased twenty-five per
cent. the Increase has been mainly in
tropical food products, such as coffee
and tea, and in crude and partially
manufactured products for use in do.
mestic industries. This has aided our
manufacturers and enabled them to
increase the amount of their exports
twenty-five per cent, offsetting the de-
crease in exports of agricult iral pro-
ducts"
The principal items in increased ex-
ports as given by DIR. Wilson are:
Agricultural implements increased
forty per cent, mainly to Europe,
British North America and Argentina,
the latter having almost doubled the
amount of its purchases in this line.
OF the breadstuffs the only increases
we're in barley and in corn, which Is
fteadily growing in favor, and once
becomes better known in Europe, 1t
. Eill exceed wheat in the amount eX-
,orted. Iron and its manufactures, in

Extraordinary year 1885, Steel sheet
, ,lates increased 100 per cent: wire,

Y pom THE EVENING of the
funeral o" d. l.. Moody,
~ meeting of his friends and
co-workers was held in
Mortified and it was resolved to make
public statement concerning the in
sttutons founded by Mr. Moody.
These consist of the Northtield semi
nary and training school for young
women, the Mt. Hermon school for
Chicago, all of which offer exceptional
opportunities for young men and wo-
men of limited means to equip them
selves for special usefulness in life.
by request we reproduce a portion Of
the statement:
''rhe Mortified plant consists Of
about 200 acres of land and about
thirty buildings. beautifully situated
and excellently equipped. With pres
ent endowment it is valued at one and
quarter millions, and !s practically
free from debt. At Chicago the build
ings, land and endowment exceed
$3.50, 900 in value. The Mortified schools
have about 400 students each, who are
charged 800 per annum for board and
tuition. The actual cost is about $780,
At Chicago the amount required ap-
proximates $3.50 each for 300 students.
In brief, therefore, sum Of about
$125,OOO is annually required to main
tain the work inaugurated by Mr..
Moody on the principles successfully
pursued for the past twenty years.
This sum has heretofore been large
ly raised by his personal efforts. We
believe his friends will now wish to
express their appreciation of him ani
their gratitude to God for his accom-
plished work by sharing the RESPONSE
bilites bequeathed to his children by
raising the present limited endowment
to $1,000 900. the interest of which, at
four per cent, would guarantee the
perpetuation of his work in all its
present prosperity. Such an endow-
ment would be monument to his
memory more enduring than brass or
marble, and just such memorial as
he himself would have most desired.
The appeal is therefore made now to
Mr.. Moody's friends throughout the
world to contribute. without curtail-
ing their support for current expenses,
to Moody Memorial Endowment,
notifying his elder son. w. r. Moody,
East Mortified, Massachusetts, of the
amount they are moved to give"
Money given for this purpose will
be we'll placed and it will do good for
both time and eternity.

~ HOSE WHO DO NOT ordin-
arily pay much attention to
Il. fluctuations in speculative
stocks will, as a matter of
mere curiosity, be Interested in some
of the ups and downs recorded on the
New York stock exchange in 1899. For
instance:
At the beginning of the year the
American Sugar Refining company's
common stock was worth $4,000 900.
During the year it reached a hign
water mark valuation of 1000. 900;
but in the recent panic it dropped to
$i2, 100000 and at the end of the year
was worth, at exchange rating, $4I.-
900, 900. Metropolitan Street railway a.
from the New York Times, was worth
$76.000,O0O and later was down to $685..
100000. st. Paul. common and pre-
ferred, sold as high as $255.0OOOO0 and
fell to $230.000.000 Tennessee Coal and
Iron, common and preferred, was as
high as $57,000,O00. and fell to 100000.
0OO. United States leather, two stocks,
sold as high as $l45. .OO0, ,vJ0 and receded
to $S5.O0O,OO0. Burlington sold as high
as $146. 100000 and declined to SILL .00O,-
900. Great Northern got as high as
$175.000,00O and fell to $l27.OOO,O 900. Man.
haitian sold up to s63,OO0,O0O and de-
clined to S40,0OO,O00. New York Cen
tral, beginning the year with a show
ing of $-o,v0O,O00, sold up to $34OOO,0OO
then back to $26,o00,0OO. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit showed on the first bus
mess day of the year a capital value
of $33, 100000 which later increased to
$5SOO0, 900, then fell to $4,000, OOO Even
the D., L. & W. ranged between 1874
and 194ia.
Such unusual variations indicate
both that money for speculative in
vestment is more plentiful than for Il
long time past and that the sharpers
are taking full advantage of the fact
1t is unnecessary to tell any man Of
sense that most OF these variations
ore artificial; and certainly every in
telligent man knows that the stocks
of well managed and honestly capi-
talized properties doing a equitable
business are actually worth more today
than they have ever been worth before,
for the simple reason that business is
better and earnings are greater. Th /.
tendency to speculate was n.ver mo,e e
general than it is today but at the
risk of being considered old fashioned

against it,

in Cooper Union is among

the splendid good sense with which
this shrewd product of self-education
in disposing his benefactions.
Some men blessed with great wealth
hoard it while alive and in dying give
it into unknown hands for disposition
as fate may decree. Their intentions
are benevolent and in their wills they
enumerate number of charities to
which they desire to contributes; but
they have no means of assuring them
selves that their bequests will reach
the proper destination in the desired
way. Where there are wills there are
usually contests, and where wills get
through without being contested there
is always the possibility of misman-
agement on the part OF the executors
or of carelessness or breach Of faith

risks and assures himself that his pur-
