amounted to sSsS.5is. the principal 0rti.
eles being cotton. hour ginscn, malt
liquors canned beef. milk. canned fruits
and leaf tobacco.
ITO show now remarkable has been
the growth nf our trade with China,
It Is only necessary TO give II few sta.
tistics as to the commercial relation
for 10 years. From 1859 10 1899 there
was a gain OF SlS,SeS.l6S. rhe increase
was almost entirely in exports which
advanced Ia value from s,Jsl,l2S In
1889 to Nl,4ss.44O In 1899. our imports
for 1889. amounting 70 SiSSls,SSS. were
only slightly larger than in 1859, when
a value OF $iiOsSlls was reported.
Taking these figures as a basis. Il Is
easy to see that war would, for the time
being, increase agricultural exports be-
yond the average of hye per cent for
the past 10 years, hut would practically
stop the expectation TO China OF other
American products that In 10 years
have averaged IS per cent. War would
also interfere materially with our Inn
port trade from China, which for the
years from 1894 10 1895 inclusive, aver.
aged only $2O,0SS,SS2. The principal
commodities were tea, s;Os2.5s5; raw
silk, S,O62,S2s, and raw wool s.l6O.SsS
Meats for the allied army in China
would probably have to be obtained
from Australia. The difficulty in warm
climates is TO keep the eareasses OF an
imals cool. Our soldiers in Manila are
fed on fresh meat. but Il is owing to the
recent erection OF u line refrigerator
at that point"

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in in.
ereasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nee
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
languorous sIoth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while 1t lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change Of air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation OF
tagging energies as will provide Drawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam Of the mountain
pines. and the clear. unadultorated
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth Of attractions.
The entire line Of road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost, and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with
equal facility.
"Or If you look for healing waters,
none better can be found, hot or cold,
than the springs Of Ashland, Colestin,
Anderson. Bartlett. Byron and Paso
Robles.
Before visiting Europe, the people Of
the Northwest should see the glories
Of Yosemite valley, and the wondrous
groves Of Mariposa and Calaveras;
the Parisians are llEely to make IN
quirses concerning these attractive re-
sorts"

ENGLAND EXPORTING GOLD.
Great Tension and Nervousness In tn
London Money Market.


Great Tension and Nervousness in the
London Money Market.
NEW YORK, July 9.-The Times
London financial correspondent cables:
The English market has fallen into a
state OF uncomfortable cheapness,
which may have an unpleasant end
ing. Thanks to the necessities OF the
government, bankers have been del
uged with credits. originating In It's
borrowings at the Bank OF England
These the week before last amounted to
s5.5O0,OOO. part OF which was disbursed
before dividend day. Dividends. Brit
ish and Indian. came out on Thursday
and Immediately the balance OF the
borrowings at the bank was paid of.
while at the same time short credits
in the open market fell to lh61& per
cent.
Generally speaking. cheap floating
credit brings low discount rates. but It
has not been so now. Such is the
nervousness Of the city that bill bro
kers have actually raised their commits
sions since money became overabund-
ant, and on Friday and Saturday 80
day remi,tel paper at 2SG2x per cent.
There are reasons in plenty for this
nervousness. not the least cogent OF
which is the persistent export demand
for gold. Not only Is the gold that
comes into the open market snapped up
by the foreigners. but small parcels
daily leave the bank for Paris. The
result is that We enter the second and
trying half Of the year with only
f5sO,OOO more visible gold in stock than
We had at the beginning Of January
last.
Something must be done to stop the
export and attract the metal, II the
storm is 10 be STAYED off in the au-
tumn, and therefore discount houses
have begun to struggle against the de-
lirious infringement Of cheap credit
brought into bearing by the profuse
war exports Of the government. We
might hope that something would be
done, by the payment Of the Khaki"
loan Installment next Tuesday, 10
stiffen the short loan market and so
help the brokers. but unfortunately the
expenditures Of the war have caused
this money to be anticipated, and what
We are much afraid Of now is the issue
Of yet another loan.
Provision for a campaign in China
may be given as an excuse for fresh
demands, but South Africa will take a
heavy share in what may be going.
No sooner, therefore, is the open mar
ket denuded Of the credits poured into
1t by the treasury than fresh payments
hood It again, and all the time It is
being forced toward a crisis.
Abroad the tension is less, especially
In Germany, but thanks merely to
liberal resort TO over issue Of paper
money and experienced bankers are
apprehensive that the German en-
peror's ambitious Chinese war program
may place an unbearable strain on the
Berlin market. Even Paris is not alto
gether comfortable. but the very uni
versatility Of apprehensiveness may
avert anything more injurious than a
convulslve spasm Of stringency.
Already the beginning Of such a
