 In the West Indies and especially the British possessions our trade is constantly growing. and these islands draw the bulk of imported food sup plies from us, as well as an increasing proportion of manufactured goods. In Cuba and Porto Rico sufficient time has not yet elapsed it is stated, for recuperatiOn from the war and the readjustment Of industrial and commercial conditions, but in both is lands trade is beginning to revive with the promise of gradual develop ment on the lines of closer intimacy with the United States
 In South America, the trade has de- veloped slowly except in Argentina and Peru, where it has increased rapidly of late.
 As matter of keen interest to the whole commercial world, the progress of events in China and it's bearing up- on trade is discussed at length. The
 United States is shown to have suf-
 fered as serious, if not more so. than any other nation, from the fact that the bulk of our exports had been dis posed of ill north China, the scene of
 
 increase of our eXportation to Asiatic
 Russia has taken place and the winter
 of 1S99-19OO witnessed an enormous import of American products into the
 Amur province. Japan is an import
 ant gateway for our Chinese trade. Our trade with that country itself is stead lily growing The fears of Japanese Icompetition which a few years age lcaused some concern in the United
 States, have not borne out and 1t is
 stated that Japan may be able to com
 pete with us at some points i'll the fu
 ture, but her general development
 seems to mean increasing purchasing power and q larger consumption ol
 our goods. Of the other Asiatic mar
 kets it may be noted that we are in
 creasing our sales of iron and steel il
 British India; that Americans are do ing much towards the development O. Korea, especially as to the gold mine and in Persia and Asiatic Turke, American goods are finding their wa. lin spite of adverse conditions. II Of the European countries, in Grea Britain our consular officers report tn | steady progress of American goods il
 popular favor. The extensive intro duction of American machinery an' > tools into England, and upon the con 5 ttinent is cited to show that improve $ machinery, once regarded as the fo 5 lof labor, has proved itself the mos : ltrenchant weapon of American worl : tinsmen in the competition for foreiS ! trade.

yesterday which was the bitterest heard
for many years in the German Reich
stag. The war 10 China, he said, IVES
"the meanest and most shameful which
Prussia has wsged in 200 years" He
read number of private letters from

it was "almost Incredible that such
besliaIity, lower than that among beasts:
can survive in Christian Germany"
"But, OF course" exclaimed Herr
Bebel. "when the Injunction went
forth from the Kaiser tnat no pardon
should be granted it was no wonder
that the troops behaved like Huns. A
Prussian sereent. could have
managed the campaign better than Won
