Greatest July Exports Ever Known.

Greatest July Exports Ever known.
July exports were larger than in July of
any previous year and the imports were
larger than those Of July in any year since
1895. The figures Of the foreign commerce
of the United States during the month of
July were completed by the treasury bu-
reau Of statistics and show:
Total imports Of the month. s72s97 .OS7:
total. exports, $1O9O8l .15S: excess of ex-
ports over imports, $36. 13i ,071, or consid-
erably more than 81 1.O00.OO0 per day. So
large an excess of exports over imports in
July is unusual. since July Is usually
month of heavy imports and light exports.
Prior to 1S0S the July figures almost al
ways showed an excess of imports over
exports. and In no year prior to 1900 had
the July exports reached $100.00o.000.

SLAVERY IN THE SOUDAN
ITS SUPPRESSION INVOLVES MANY
DIFFICULT PROBLEMS.
Prosperous Traffic In Human Beings
Carried on ut Jedda-The
Current Prices.

John G. Long. consul general at Cairo,
has sent TO the State Department an in
teresting report on the slave trade In Egypt
and Abyssinia. He says that the success
of the government in the celebrated "Shar-
kieh case" which was tried at Cairo In
1899. and subsequent case of kidnapping
at Luxor on the Nile virtually put an
end to slavery in Egypt. The suppress
sion of the traffic in Egypt has been large
ly brought about by the energy and zeal
of the slave trade department. There
Is still. however more or less slavery in
the Soudan. in spite of all efforts to check
the traffic. Two hundred and fifty-five
men with camels are employed by the gov
ernment TO break up the trade In the Sou
dan. and last year twenty-five persons
were convicted. Most of these convicted
persons were Shieks of the RaShitaS, one
of the most troublesome and most dreaded
tribes in the Soudan. The activity against
them has driven most of them east into
Italian territory.
The slave trade at Jedda has been the
most serious to arrest or overcome. The
principal traffic is from Massaua and the
coast to the northward, in Italian territory
Abyssinia. Hodeida and Yemen At Jedda
there are weli-to-do slave merchants whose
names and depots well known The
prices are: Male or female IA years old,
about $50: IA to 20 years, 500 to $l25; 20
Mecca the prices of both sexes rise 80 per
cent and upward. and eunuchs command
readily from $I00 TO 500 each.
Consul General Long states that a trav-
eler who recently CROSSED Abyssinia, enter
ing by the leila route and leaving by the
Blue Nile. reported that he had had an es-
pecially good opportunity of noting the
present condition of the trade in that re-
gion. He informed Mr.. Long that slavery
existed in that portion of the country un-
der the control Of the Menelik, but in a
very restricted and comparatively humane
form. The powerful chiefs alone are per-
mitted to acquire domestic slaves, who
become In effect members of the household.
There are no auctions or open sales.
In the country Of Godjam. however, which
Is nominally subject to Menelik. the insti-
tuition of slavery openly exists. and public
sales take place in the ordinary weekly
markets The supply of victims for this
traffic is principally obtained by organized
raids upon the country inhabited by mixed
Shangalla tribes, which separates Abys-
sinia from Anglo-Egyptian Soudan. During
last year the repression of the slave trade
department granted manumission papers
to 800 slaves. 46 less than the year before.
Mr.. Long says that the complete suppress
sion Of slavery and the slave traffic in the
SondaR involves many difficult problems
