EXPANDING COMMERCE..

Three eminent authorities finance and
trade have recently made rather positive state
ments regarding this country's foreign com
merce. While differing somewhat in details
the general impression was conveyed that We
we'll past the zenith as to trade with other
nations. In startling refutation of this unwar-
ranted pessimism comes the official report of
foreign commerce for the month of October
Primarily it appears that the total value of
merchandise coming in and going out at ports
of the United States last month was only ex-
ceeded in one other month in the nations his
tory. Owing TO a phenomenal outgo of cotton
at abnormally high prices in October 1900, the
total foreign commerce for that month was
actually $3,353,435 larger than last month, al
though not 1.5 per cent greater The insignia
canoe of this margin in the aggregate becomes
the more striking when it is realized that the
cotton movement alone was valued at S1S0OO-
900 more two years ago, an advance of nearly
80 per cent in value, although the quantity was
only about 20 per cent more. This fact should
be borne in mind in connection with the state
ment that exports have declined sharply be-
cause of current high prices
Comparisons of the months exports are espe
cially interesting. In the first place, the same
month last year and October and December
1900, were the only months on record when
exports were larger, and the difference was
trifing, except in the month of phenomenal cot
ton movement previously mentioned The loss
from last years figures was only 50, AIS. 663 and
this is important in connection with the fire.
quent reports that shipments of manufactured
articles have been curtailed As a matter of
fact. the decrease in agricultural exports was
S616l147 actually showing a gain Of S36Sl
4s4 in other merchandise sent abroad the bulk
of which are manufactures. OF the decrease in
value OF great staples exported cotton alone
provides most of the change, $4,599O4S and
this was a natural reaction from the phenom
enaliy heavy OutgO in September. For the two
months the movement has been even larger
than in 1900, which is notable in view of che
high record established in October C .hat year
Shipments OF breadStuifs we-a about 81 5OO OOO
larger than in the same month last wear which
was due TO the movement of wheat and four
Notwithstanding the unprecedented exnorts of
these products in July and August last wear Tho
gradual increase in subsequent months this
year suggests that even the big movement of
19O1-'O2 may be equalled in the current season
despite the smaller yield. Insufficient offerings
OF corn make the comparison unsatisfactory
yet there is some improvement over earlier
months, and. as the new yield moves more free
ly, exports will gradually become normal
Imports fell uiae short OF the preceding
month. but otherwise April, 1897 alone made
a better exhibit. The combination of fueI
shortage and unprecedented domestic consumn-
ton has caused much larger purchases abroad

DEJn.S on THE NEW BRIDGE.


With thorough precautions, with vgilant over
sight with fair supply of water at the tops Of
the towers, provided in advance, as it could and
should have been provided, and with n reason
able number OF faithful watchmen, the fire on
the Williamsburg Bridge could have wrought
only trivial damage. But 1t did do a great deal
of harm, and the completion of this great high
way between Manhattan Island and Long ISL
and, so much needed at the earliest possible
date, must now unavoidably he delayed for
months while the indispensable repairs and re-
construction are in progress.
The city is not responsible for the mischief
and the disaster. but It will suffer grievous
trouble from the tedious waiting. Some of the
contractors who had charge of a part Of this
enterprise were probably IN fault and it is gen
orally believed that they must pay the penalty
in heavy outlay in money, in impaired prestige
and distinction in the eyes of the world Did
they meet the full measure of their duty? APP
parently not If they had been wideawake and
prudent how could the flames have made so ex-
tensive Roadway: They have so far submitted
no convincing or satisfactory explanation or ex-
cuse.

not venture to interpret that as meaning tha'

in the former of them. But we shall not De

SHOT BY MISTAKE.

Game has been well protected this year. But
so many hapless human victims who went into
the woods have been killed or wounded by care
less sportsmen that an effective system for the
protection of hunters may, perhaps. be needed.
Will the day come when excited, feverish, over
hasty amateurs armed with long range rifles
will count twenty before they discharge their
weapons if they see a shaking of the under
brush in the forests?
The lists Of deplOrable accidents due to blum
ders on the part of the seekers Of excitement
and recreation among the trees grow longer
every season, and these accidents have become
so frequent and so distressing that some meas
ures of sort not namby-pamby or niminy- PIN
my must be adopted and enforced for the regu-
latiOn of the exploits of misfit followers of the
hunt. This is not a matter for halfway meth
DDS for weak attempts at restriction. This evil
is of no small proportions. Protect game. Yes.

than usual, but the bulk Of this movement is
confined TO raw materials or partly manufact-
ured products and it is not apparent that home
industries are suffering from foreign compe-
tition. On the contrary, it is mainly due to the
very abnormal activity at domestic mills that
imports expand While the balance of trade is
less favorable on account of these heavy pur-
chases abroad, yet there appears credit of
S55692 225 on merchandise account for the
month of October, to which must be added net
exports Of S1,615s11 silver. and from which
must be subtracted net imports of S7.666,52I

~CounoY SENSE" IN IRELAND.

The world will watch. with interest differing
here and there In kind, but uniform in intensity
of degree. the development Of the new Irish
Parliamentary party Of whose formation report
was made in yesterdays dispatches. It is said
that nine members have already Joined it, and
that eighteen more are about TO do so. Obvi-
ously such division of forces will exert more
powerful influence upon the course OF Irish
Parliamentary affairs and upon the whole Irish
question than anything that has occurred at
least since the historic ruction in committee
room No. l5 1t will be the more important
since the new party is TO be led by no less
parsonage than Mr.. Timothy p. HeaIy. For

the very ablest Irishmen of his generation. 1t

BANDIT KING AT REST.

KEARNEY (OhiO), June 29.-The
moldering bones of Jesse James, Mis-
souri's bandit king, were buried today
for the last time in the Baptist grave
yard here. The body, which had rested
since the bandits tragic death al the
hands of Bob Ford in st. Joseph in
1882 was disnterred this morning at
the old Samuels homestead, three and
a half miles northeast of this city, in
the early forenoon, placed in a new
black casket and in the afternoon was
reburied by the side of his wife and
little brother in the family lot in the
cemetery on the edge of the town.
There will be removed the stone shaft
which has stood guard over his re-
mains for twenty years in the corner
of the lot at his birthplace, which has
been the shrine for his aged mother.
watched by her for two decades, the
Mecca in that time for a horde Of
sightseers numbering thousands and
continued source of revenue at 25 cents
per head. The body was supposed to
have been embalmed. but it had long
since resolved into its elements. No
embalming fluid had ever touched it.
Jesse Jr. picked up the skull of his
father and back of the left ear found a
hole, perhaps an inch long. Through
it went the bullet of Bob Ford, his
treacherous companion, which in the
first unguarded moment in Jesse
James life ended his career.
