MISREPRESENTATION ABOUT COMMERCE.

Free trade publications have been Jubilant
over the detailed statement of exports in Febru-
airy. These organs claim to find in the official
report full demonstration that the growth Of
American industry has met with n check and
they rejoice over what seems to them evidence
that our manufacturers cannot retain foreign
markets. Higher prices for British iron and
steel products and better wages at English
works are chronicled facts and pointed to as
proof that American competition is longer
feared. But latest cables tell of worknen re-
sisting reductions Of pay in British mills
while at other points plants have entirely sus-
pended
Examination of February foreign commerce
returns discloses the fact that the loss In ex-
ports OF manufactures as compared with the
same month in 1900 amounted to s., ,923. $50
This is by serious a decrease as
conspicuous headlines might suggest. Moreover,
it appears that about 81 100000 of the difference
occurred in mineral oils: not owing to a smaller
foreign demand since 40S 654 gallons more were
sent abroad this year than last. In other words
the loss entirely due to the lower price
In copper ingots there a decrease of 81. .241-
81 which is not OF the class of manufactured
products especially referred in the criticisms
The loss of S364S2 in exports of cottons to China
is a natural result Of disturbances in that coun-
for $3.165.042, or practically all of the loss
In the leading industry where tariff opponents
threaten serious disasters because of present
revenue laws the comparison with last years
figures cheering. The increase in exports of
agricultural implements amounted to S635 30;
railway cars, S9S. l5l: instruments, S216O2
locomotives. S200.54o, and electrical machinery.
S214.S1G. All this occurred incidentally in the
face OF lower prices for iron and steel products
than prevailed year ago. so that the increase
in quantity exported proportionately even
greater than the gain in value. In boots and
shoes there an increase of S13S,SG0 and in
paper and manufactures $126.S76.
There he's also been much unreasonable com
ment on the increase Of So, O63 0O1 in imports Of
dutiable foodstuffs. One writer sympa thizes
with the downtrodden wage earners. who are
compelled to pay duties imports of food
amounting to 40 per cent more than last year
The fact is that imports Of dutiable foodstuffs
are always extremely small and the increase of
about $3.000.000 happens to be 10 per cans

Paris April 5.-ACcording To information that
reached Paris today from a sourr'. regarded as
OF unquestionable authenticity Russia has with
drawn the proposed Manchurian treaty with
China. This step is attributed 10 the personal
cepted as evidence Of his determination 20 avoid
at the present juncture any conflict with Japan
CoupIed with this news comes the statement
that Russia does not deem it expedient To with
draw any of her troops now in Manchuria, and
intends to maintain the status quo there until
a Chinese government be established at
Picking strong and stable enough 10 inspire Rus
sian confidence fer the future
This courteous and unexpected withdrawal OF
the proposed Manchurian convention, until row
so aggress!vely urged upon China. is regarded
as an exceedingly clever move on the part OF
Russia, because that treaty, which could only
he wrung from China by renewed drastic press
ure would. after all. only secure empty inter
national sanction of the position which Russia
already holds in Manehuyia, and the signing
of the treaty might render with Japan in
evitable The conviction prevails in diplomatic
circles ne re that the International E6aCe neSl-
tiations with China will be greatly facilitated
by Russia's withdrawal of the convention. which
by postpOning the settlement of the Manchurian
difficulty reduces it to affair of local interest
AT the same time. the present Russian occupa-
tion of Manchuria is regarded here. rightly or
wrongly. parallel case to the British occu-
patton OF Egypt-as de facto possession that will
approach permanency as each year elapses.
