THE BALANCE OF TRADE.
Uncle Sam Has $3.50, 200, 900 Against
John Bull.

London, July lathe Statst says:
1.-THE figures of our own trade with
America conclusively show the enor-
nous profits which the United States
are making in foreign trade.
For the first six months of the pres
ent year our imports from the United
States have been nearly ESQ, 900, 900
($345, ,000), as against a little over
f59,OOOOOO ($295 100000 in 1900, while
our exports to the United States were
worth only 100000 ($35, 900 ,OOO), as
against fs,SOO,OOO ($44,OOO, OOO). This
means that for the year to June 80 we
have bought f14S, 900, 900 ($74O, 900, 0OO) in
produce of the United States, while
they have bought of us Els. 100000 $780,
O00,000). The trade balance in favor
of the United States as respects Eng
land was f13O 100000 $3.50, 900, OOO), as
against f119, 900 900 1886, 900 ,000) for the
calendar year of 1900"
The Statist will conclude another ar
ticle with the statement:
1T appears certain that we shall
have to supply considerable gold to
the United States and that the value
of money in London will advance"

FROM WATER FRONT
BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN ABOUT
BOATS WRESTLING.
THEY CLAIM 1T IS USELESS.
EXCURSION BOATS KEEP 3 BLASTS
GOING For SEVERAL HOURS.

The Noise a Disturbance In Offices
Nenr the DOcks-Interferes with
BuAiness-UnIess Regulated 1t May
BE StOpped-Yacht knight to Ar
IIve-Matters of Interest to Ship
pers and Mariners.
Unless more discretion is used in blow
ing the "all aboard" whistles on the diff
ferent excursion steamboats, that visit
Savannah an ordinance may be intro
duced in Council prohibiting it altogether.
1t is common for the boats to begin
sounding intermittent blasts of the wills
tie about two hours before time to de-
part, and keep this UP until they pull
out.
Business men along the Bay, and par
ticularly in the offices facing the river
front, are expressing much displeasure at
this indiscreet blowing of whistles, which
has come to interfere with work in their
offices. Their objections would probably
not be so insstent were there any use
in this continued whistling, but they con-
tend that a more systematic way of
handling crowds should be adopted by
steamboat managers, and one that will
not cause inconvenience to business peo-
pie.
For some time before the departure of
a steamboat yesterday the whistle was
sounded repeatedly by giving the usual
three blasts. One man found it difficult
in his Office to talk business with another,
and complained about the noise. Another
man had worked for long distance con-
nection with Brunswick and about the
time he got it the boat began again TO
call It's coiored excursionists, which pre-
vented his carrying on conversation until
the noise ceased. Not long ago the whis-
Ting of steamers was carried so far that
an alderman was furnished an ordinance
prohibiting it, and is understood to still
have 1t in his possession.
In years past l was captain of steam
boats that carried excursions" said an
old timer "and when asked to sound the
whistle to bring passengers aboard, l
agreed to sound it once only. And if
this is done five minues before the boat
pulls out it is enough"

is THE WORLD GROWING HOTTER ,

Americas Times Recorder: We have
been pretty closely reading the news
papers and the reports from all sec
lions of the Union and have become
convinced that the late heated spell
has been more universal and exhaus-
tive than usual. That being the case
the question naturally comes up. Is
the world growing hotter? In reply
to that query we find quite number of
contemporaries taking the affirmative
and contending that the heat of the
earth's atmosphere, or its effect on
the earth and it's inhabitants, is actual
ly increasing. If this fact is admitted
il is natural to inquire into the cause,
and the reason we arrive at is per-
fectly natural one, not dependent on
science or astronomy, but on human
improvidence and stupidity, to put the
matter plainly. 1t is undoubtedly due
TO the denudation or deforestation of
the land and the consequent lowering
of the degree of humidity in the at
mosphere.
