.TRADE WITHTHEO ORIENT
Remarkable Gains in Our Exports
to China and Japan.
HAS DOUBLED IN THREE YEARS.

Gains in Our Asiatic Exports Have
Nearly All Been Made in the Last
Five Years-The Imports Not So
Heavy.
Washington, Jan. ga report of
our Asiatic trade, prepared by Mr..
Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the for
eign markets section of the agricul-
tural department, shows that there has
been a great development of our trade
with China and Japan during the past
decade. Record figures were easily
reached in the fiscal year 1899, when
the value of the merchandise eXchang-
ed with these two countries, including
the port of Hong Kong, reached $751;
305, 5,68S, against only $46,296,167 in
1889. The four years following 1889
witnessed a steady increase that finally
eliminated in 1898 with record of
SEC, ,2S1, 1856, the highest up to that
time. In the fiscal year 1894, during
which our :mportatiOns were greatly
curtailed as a result of the prevailing
financial depression, the trade dropped
to $51 ,513, ,149 and thereafter rose stead
lily by leaps and bounds.
OF the $87, ,305,688 valuation placed
upon our trade with Japan, China and
Hong Kong during 1899 $47,815,O35
represented the imports into the Uni
ted States and $39, ,490, ,653 the exports
| from this country. The excess of i'm
| ports over exports amounted to S.
| 324,382. In 1899 the imports were val
ued at $35, ,196,670 and the exports at
| $11, ,OS7,497, a difference of $24,099, 173.
| oh in
ed with 1899 a gain of $28, 1898. 1853, or 256
| per cent in exports, while the increase
in imports amounted to only $12,61S,-
365, or Sc per cent. During the last
| few years, in fact, the imports dis
closed an actual falling off, the value
for 1899 being 81, ,164, 131 less than that
| for 1896, which was recorded at $49,-
979, ,166. Our exports, on the other
hand, more than doubled during the
! three years succeeding 1896.
Our exports to the countries men
| toned consisted chiefly of cotton, cot
! tor goods. kerosene oil, wheat flour
| and manufactures of iron and steel,
the value of these five classes of ar
ticles exported aggregating in 1898
nearly 80 per cent of the total exports
to China, Japan and Hong Kong.
japan took nearly all the raw cotton
while cotton manufactures went quite
as largely to China. All three took
kerosene oil in large quantities. The
exports of wheat flour almost trebled
during the decade, exports to Japan
actually rising from 1857 barrels in
1889 to 16l ,654 barrels in 1898, while
Hong Kong i'll the latter year took
939 ,053 barrels, against 378,634 in 1889
China's direct -four importations were
small.
The gain in exports of iron and stee
were very rapid in 1896, 1897 and 1892
most of the exports going to Japan
which took $3,195, ,152 worth in 1898
out of a total for the year of So, 713,967
For 1889 the iron and steel exports tC
the three places named were only
$519,212. Generally speaking it may
be stated that the figures show that the
gain in our Asiatic exports has beer
nearly all made in the last five years

night with the power to settle the
strike on the United Traction COM

from the strikers was empowered to
settle on the basis of 81 a day for the
regular men and 1872 cents an hour for
the trippers. The only concession made
bv the men was on the scale to be re-
ceived by the trippers. The cars were

Mine Workers and EMPLOYERS Seem
Ready to Make Concessions.
indianapolis, Jan. 29.-The dele
gates to the conference between the
miners and operators who remained in
town over Sunday spent the day IN
lounging about the hotels and talking
the situation over. Surface indications
are that both sides stand ready to
make concessions, and the probability
is the first meeting of the joint scale
committee will result in each side
giving out some hint of what these
concessions are.
The final outcome of the matter, as
predicted by those who have attended
other conferences, is that the operators
will pay few cents more per ton than
their first offer of nine cents advance,
the miners will come to the screen
agreement remaining as at present,
and the Illinois miners will come into
the double standard agreement now IN
force in the three other states of the

p warm climate fruit is sufficient

In a warm climate fruit is sutficlent
to sustain life. but up in the Arctic re-
pions oil and fat are essential. In the
feeding of live stock the temperature
of the atmosphere should always be
considered. Hundreds of farmers feed
the same ration the year round. So
much corn or oats is given whether the
season is winter or summer. The ami
mails may eat all that is allowed, but
thew become fat in summer and do not
gain in winter. During severely cold
weather a large proportion OF grain
should be given, especially or corn,
while the supply of hay should not be
reduced.

thirds of this number will go down the
Yukon river from Dawson and other
Yukon towns A great prospective
race is in sight between these two con-
tingents. First arrivals will secure

be in the greatest demand, because

Mr.. Mitchell was expected to lndl-

per cent. increase conceded by the OPP
orators, but beyond noting it as a vic
tory he had nothing to say on that
point.
Neither did he intimate anything
as to the probability of an early con-
vention of miners, and after the meet
ing, when questioned on that subject,
he said that not local union had re-
quested the calling Of a convention.
A significant move in this direction,
however, developed tonight at Shen-
