Since the establishment OF the cleo
trio light plant in this city the
churches have been furnished with
free lights and all have put in the in
candescent system. But it appears
I
to the city authorities the churches
are abusing the privilege granted and
are very extravaganza in the use of
their lighting privileges, so much so
that by investigation is shown that
a fourth or fifth OF the power of the
plant is consumed by the churches.
1t is said the churches or some of
them turn on the lights from hall
to an hour before services begin and
instances are cited where the lights
have been left burning all night by
neglect. In discussing the matter
Mayor Hickman said the council was
willing to donate one-tenth OF the
power, but were not satisfied to
donate 20 per cent. The attention
of the church authorities had been
called to the matter, said the mayor,
but the extravaganza had not been
rectitied, and that the council was
now considering the proposition to
put meters in the different church
| buildings and collecting rent for cleo
tricity used.

it is seen that. despite the falling off in the
total. there has been no decided setback III the
conquest of foreign markets. The principal fall
ing off has been fin breadstuns. OF which Europe
annually takes all that the United States can
spare. This has been due in part to the large
home consumption consequent on the general
employment of labor in this country and the
ability of the people to buy and consume larger
quantities than in times of less prosperity 1t
has also been due largely to the short corn crop
of last year, which reduced the exports of corn
by nearly one hundred million bushels. worth
about $50 600 0o0 and also to the fact that last
years exports of wheat were abnormaliy large
while those of the present year are about nor
NAL and show a decrease of about S30,OOO.OOO
when compared with that year. The shortage of
had the effect of reducing the supply that
could be fed to livestock and there has been
consequent large falling off in the supply of
meats of all kinds that could be sent abroad.
The net result Is that the exports OF farm prod
ucts of all kinds for the year 1902 will fall more
than S125 100000 below the figures for last year.
thus more than eaualling the total decrease in
the value of exports for the year. Ii is evident
that IL there has been falling off in the
ports of iron and steel and OF farm products
far in excess of the total decrease in exports
there must have been increases in other lines.
and this is found to be true OF n large
of copper. cotton goods and leather.
The statistics of the banks of the United
States throw interesting sidelight the

ness in ten years from 1892 TO 1902 In 1892

port. OF iron and steel have been double those
for 1901, while the exports have fallen ABOUT
S2OOOOOOO below the figures for last year
The exact figures for the foreign commerce
of the year will not be available until late III
January, but taking the figures for the nrsf
eleven months and estimating those for De-
cernber it is shown that the total exports Tor
the year will be about S1.340OOOOOO and the
imports will be about S950.00o,O1O- The total
value of exports is larger than for any previous
year except 1900 and 1901. but il is about
S125,OOO. 900 less than last year. The imports
which are about $7OOOOG0O greater than last
year. exceed those of any year in the history OF
the country. The reason for this is partly the
fact that American manufacturers have not
been able to supply the demand for goods manu-
factured I'm this country, and partly the fact
that the general prosperity has greatly increased
the consuming power of the country ana mas
led to the importation of larger quantities OF
luxuries of foreign manufacture But these

The total volume OF business transacted in the
United States has been greater during the year
just closing than in any other year in the ma

to the utmost the facilities for its transaction
In every part of the country and practically
throughout the entire year. the railways have
been unable handle the vast tonnage of
freight which they have been called upon TO
transport Freight of all kinds have been
pressed into service. and the car factories and
locomotive shops have been working night and
day in an effort to meet the urgent demands of
the roads for more cars and additional motive
power. In ali branches of the iron and steel
trade there has been the excess of de-
mand over the supply. This has been particular
ly true of the demand for steel for structural
purposes and shipbuilding. and from every city
and every shipyard in the country come the
same reports OF contracts far behind and con-
tractors unable to complete buildings and
sells within the time limits set upon them, for
the reason that they have not been able to pro-
cure materials. There has been the same ex-
cess of demand supply in the labor market.
and instead of men walking about looking for
work employers have been forced to advertise
for help. and few men willing to work have been
has been that the wages of labor have been in
creased in nearly every line of employment In
some instances these increases have been forced
by the men by of strikes. but in general
they have been voluntarily conceded by en-
ployers. who have recognized the right of their
employees to share in the general prosperity and
have realized that with Ia Dor of all kinds in de-
mapd they could only keep their forces to-
gether by paying the rates of wages fixed by
the inexorable laws Of supply and demand.
The foreign commerce of the country when
studied intelligent1y affords additional evi-
dences of the general prosperity. 1t is true that
during the year there has been no such marked
advance in the conquest of the markets of the
world made during the year 1901 but
this has been due in large measure to the
fact that the unprecedented demands of the
home market have taxed American producers
and manufacturers to such an extent that there
has been less surplus that could be shipped
abroad than in some previous years when the
total volume of production has not been so
great. This demand has been SO pressing that
in many lines of American manufacture instead
Of there being a surplus that could be shipped
abroad there has been deficit that has had 10
be made up by imports This Is notably true
OF Iron and steel manufactures In no branch of
American manufacture has there been a greater
development during the year, and yet the I'M
