The Importance Of Manchurfa as q
market for American goods is presented
in some figures which the treasury
bureau Of statistics has compiled from
the latest official reports OF the Chi
nese government The fact that Man
churia has Of late been looked upon as
a rapidly growing market for Amera-
can goods, coupled with the suggestion
that it is likely to pass permanently
under Russian control. adds to the in
terest OF these figures
The official figures OF the Chinese gov
eminent scarcely seem to Justify some
OF the estimates which have been made
regarding the value Of the commerce. of
this particular section of that country.
Its population. 1900. 900. Is less than 2
per cent Of the total population of
China. and its density Of population
about 20 per square mile. against an av-
erage OF about 800 per square mile in
what IS ordinarily known as China
proper" Nanchur1a being usually
classed as a dependency, ana not a
part OF the compact, central territory
known as the eighteen provinces, or
China proper.
The single port through which foreign
commerce enters Manchuria is the port
OF Newchwang- Its total imports

figures are available were valued in

the total consumption. THE entry OF

port of the customs officer, shows the

American cotton flannel quadrupled in

BREAKS ANOTHER RECORD.
Gold in the Treasury Reaches an IN
precedented FIGURE.

Washington, March 15.-The gross
gold in the treasury yesterday amount
ed to 1882, 913. 023. compared with s416.-
218,209 at the same period last year
Yesterdays figures break all records
The increase in the gold holdings of the
department during the year has been
$66, 694, S14.
At the department it is said that the
prospect is that the gold holdings will
continue to increase probably at the
rate of $1,000 900 a month until the new
revenue law goes into effect. The
amendments to this law viii reduce the
treasury receipts it is thought about 40
million dollars a year. but Treasurer
Roberts thinks that this will only serve
to check the growth of the gold hold
ings. He does not believe that the de-
crease in the receipts will diminish the
amount of gross gold

The New York court of appeals has
decided that the law compelling con
tractors to pay the prevailing rate Of
wages" to laborers employed on public
work is an Interference with municipal
freedom Of contract, and is therefore
void. The statute restricting contractors
from the use Of dressed stone inpor-
ted from any other state in finished
form was also held to be IN violation Of
the commerce clause Of the federal con-
stitution- The court clearly intirsated
that the laws discriminating against the
emDloyment Of outside or alien labor
were also such unfair discriminate
that they would not be sustained if con-
tested This looks like an indirect blow
at the tariff laws.
