REDUCTION IN EXPECTATIONS.
Figures Show 1t to BE More Apparent
Than Real.


| Than Real.
That the reduction in expectations OF
manufactures is largely due to reduced
prices and absence of data on the COM
| merce with Hawaii and Porto Rico is ap-
parent from some figures just compiled by
| the treasury bureau of statistics. The re-
duction in the total value Of exports OF
manufactures is, has already been stat
| ed, chiefly in iron and steel, copper and
| mineral Oil. The reduction in mineral oil
| now amounts to about 100000 in the
eleven months ending with November,
while in quantity exported there has been
an actual increase of 70.0U0.000 gallons as
compared with the eleven months of 1900.
In exports Of wire during the ten months
ending with October, the value of the eX-
ports shows decrease while the quantity
has during that time increased over LOCO
600 pounds as compared with the same pc
riod of last year. Of locomotives there is
an increase in the number actually export
ed and decrease in value amounting to
nearly $4,000 OF bar iron the average
export price per pound in the ten months
of 1901, compared with the corresponding
months of 1900, shows decrease of 20 per
cent; wire rods, a decrease in price per
pound of over "a per cent; billetS, ingotS
and blooms over 12 per cent reduction in
price; steel rails, a reduction of 10 per cent
In price per ton; tin plates, reduction OF
% per cent in price per pound; structural
iron and steel, per cent: cut nails, II per
cent; wire, 16 per cent, and other articles
Of iron and steel show about the same rate
of reduction In prices per unit of quantity.
Among all the articles of iron and steel
exported in which quantities as well as val
ues are given, and an opportunity thus af-
forded to determine the export price per
pound, about three-fourths Of them show
reduced prices per pound, ton or other unit
of quantity.
The fact that none of the merchandise
sent to the Hawaiian Islands or Porto Rico
has been included in the statement of ex-
ports to foreign countries also takes away
from the statistics of manufa ctuN,s export
cluded If the methods followed in former
years when Hawaii and Porto Rico were
foreign territory were applied at the pres
ent time. Estimates by the bureau of sta
tistics based upon statements obtained re-
garding shipments between the United
States and these islands during the present
year put the value Of the exports to Ha-
tober at about $240OOOOO, and to Porto
Rico at 50, SOC, 600; making it apparent that
our exports to those islands in the ten
months in question amount to about $780,
100000; while an examination of the class
Of merchandise exported to them in former
years indicates that more than one-half ie
manufactures. This would indicate that
ton In our exports Of manufactures is due
to the absence of statistics of shipments
Of manufactures to those islands the ex-
ports to which were formerly included in
the statements of our foreign commerce
Add to this the facts shown In the above
statement regarding the reduction In ex-
port prices Of iron and steel and mineral
reduction in exports of manufactures is
accounted for.

Eggs in England.

From the London Telegraph.
Eggs of many kinds are sold in any large
city. There are new-laid eggs. fresh eggs,
cooking eggs, and. lastly, there are those
which are merely eggs-that and nothing
more. Unfortunately, most of these break
fast necessaries come to England from
abroad. On one occasion Mr.. Gladstone,
addressing his tenants, called attention to
the huge Importation of poultry, and re-
marked that 1t could be reared in this
country, and, 'if may say so, from eggs" /"
he concluded. From some eggs 1t is, how
ever, impossible to hatch chickens. Mr.. J..
v. r. Swan points out that the number OF
imported eggs retained for home consump-
tion in the united kingdom has risen from
four in 1854 to forty-nine In 1900 per head
OF population. During 1900 the imports OF
foreign eggs into this country exceeded
100000 every day during the year. and II
the home supply be added-estimated at
2. 100 600 annually--the daily consump-
ton OF the united kingdom exceeds IL 500-
600 eggs. And 1t viii be found that 40 per
cent of the eggs handled In the united
kingdom are imported, and fully 96 per
cent Of the eggs consumed in the large
towns of England are Of foreign origin,
and 30 per cent of all eggs available are
from three to seven months old before
they reach the tables Of the average Britt
ish consumer.

an abiding place in a very small part Of
the nation. The missionaries from Amer
lea now there are doing 4 splendid work.
and are establishing Christian schools and
churches.
Buddhism is by FAR the most popular
and strongest belief In Japan" the speaker
said. "AH Japanese whether believers in
Confucian doctrines or those of Buddhism,
are ancestor worshfpers.'A Ancestor wor-
ship, while not a religion concerns itself
with the early history Of the country. This
form of belief has not many temples or
priests but is installed In the minds Of the
people. It Is, however. the most widely
recognized single belief.
The prosperity Of religion in a country
depends much upon the women" he con-
tinued. from the homes of pious mothers
pious sons and daughters go forth The
women of Japan are devoted Buddhists,
and it Is their devotion to the belief that
has so strengthened It."
