South Moline. i'm which the writer
seeks to more closely establish the
identity of II. G.. Post, the old man

man by the name of Harvey G.. Post
lived in this city about - years ago
and conducted Il grocery store for
two or three years. later starting at
railroad work. as did the man who
took his life in Rock Island: so it is

Foreign Commerce.
The market characteristics Of the foreign
commerce OF the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1902, were a de-
crease OF $106, 045 $50 IN exports and an in
crease Of $50. 14S, 1888 in imports. The total ex-
ports of the year were 81, SS1, 719, 401, of which
1885, 4S1, SCI. was, OF domestic productions;
the total imports were $903 500, 94S, making
the excess of exports over imports $47S, 1885,
453. The decrease in exports is chiefly due
to the Unusual home demand, to the short
age in the corn crop OF 1901 and to a'reduc-
tion in prices of certain great staples ex-
ported. The unusual demand of the home
market for manufactures of iron and steel
caused q reduction Of SIS, 765, 1853 in the do
nestle exports of iron and steel mapufac-
lures; the shortage in the corn supply. due
to the drouth of 1901. caused a reduction
OF $67, 36l .O99 in the value of corn and corn
meal exported and the fall Of upward OF /
cent per pound in the average price OF
cotton, as compared with 1901, resulted in
a reduction of 1923, O21, ga in the value of
cotton exports, although the quantity ex-
ported in 1902 was greater than that OF 1901,
Aside from these exceptional cases, the ex-
port figures OF the year compare favorably
with those of preceding years.
The increase in importations was chiefly
due to an enlarged demand b. manuiactur-
ers for raw materials for use in manufac-
turing, the increase in the importations of
Manufacturers materials OF all classes be-
ing $50, 7S2, 221, and to these was added an
