Figures of Exports and Imports for
Eleven Months.
Latter WnI for First Time Exceed .
Billion Dollars while Former
VIII Ne Larger Than Those
of Any Year But One.

Eleven months figures Of the treas
ury bureau OF statistics. recently COM
pleted, show that the foreign COM
msrce of the United States will be. In
the fiscal year recently ended. the
largest In the history Of the country.
Imports will. for the FIRST time. exceed
81 .00o. eoe. 900. and exports VIII be larger
than In any preceding year. except
1901. The II months figures
which Justify this assertion show that
the imports of the II months ending
May were ss43.5s7. 1874. and the exports
1884. 49, s3. For the IL months end
ing with May the imports are Sl.o1s.-
7l2.24s. and the exports, 31.413.73s.T
Az the largest imports In any earlier
fiscal year were Ss03,32O,s$s, in 1909,
II Is quite apparent that the total i'm
ports Of the present fiscal year will
exceed those Of any preceding year.
and that they will also exceed $1,000
100000. since they have not fallen be-
S73, 000, 900 In any month OF the past
year, and are. In the II months, within
ISL, 10000 of the 100000 900 line
As the largest exports Of any proceed
ing year. except 1901. were $685., 49,
012, in 1900. and those of the II
months ending with May were s1.s24,-
493,293, and the smallest exports Of
any month in the year were $sS,000.-
900, 1t is apparent that when the
month Of June is added. the export
total for the year will exceed that Of
1900, and will pass the 81 400, 900, 900
line. The largest total commerce (by
which is meant the imports and ex-
ports combined) Of any earlier year
was that OF 1901. s2,3lO,937, 1856. As
the total imports and exports for the
II months ending with May were
$2,26S, 090,4 S7. and the combined i'm
ports and exports of the highest
month of the present year were $780,
100000, II Is apparent that the COM
merce of the twelfth month added to
the total already shown by the Al
months will make a grand total ex-
| ceedlng that Of 1901, which showed the
largest total Of imports and exports
combined.
It was only in the year 1872 that the
total commerce first touched the
81 900 100000 line, and 1900 it first
touched. the $4,000, 100000 line. Run.
ming back through the century, 1t may
be said that the total imports and ex.
ports Of 1900 amounted to 1852 ,O00,O 900;
in 1880. $144.00O,O 900: in 1850. s31S,OOO,.
900; in 1860, s6S7 100000; in 1870
s2S.000.000. In 1872 the total com
merce for the first time crossed the
$1,000, 100000 line, being for that yea
$1,070. 772, 663, In 1880 It was $1,503,
100000 and In 1890, $1,647. 900. 900. II
1900 it first crossed the 81 .oO0. 900 OO'
line, being in that year 81 244, 0oo,oOo
in 1901. s2.311 900, 0OO in 1902. s2.2S5,
100000, and in 1903 seems likely Il
exceed 81, 400, 900, 000.

MUST WEAR BADGES.
NewsbOys in New York Must Here
after Have Permit to Vend Their
WIRES on the Streets.

DR.. William H. Maxwell, city super
intendent of public schools of New York,
issued circulars to principals of pub
lie and nonpublic schools before the
summer vacation began requesting
them to prepare a list of all boys be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen years,
who expect to sell papers when school
opens September | next when the new
child labor law goes into effect. Dis
trict superintendent of schools under
the new law will have charge of the is
suing of permits and badges. without
which no boy or girl may sell newspa-
pers.
The permit and badge will be good
for one year from date of issue. The
bbattgv must be w0rH TUHspfCTUUsTy By
the boy and cannot be transferred to
any other person. No child under II
years may sell newspapers without his
badge, and will be arrested IL the new
law Is violated. No child under II may
sch after ten o'clock at night, and will
be arrested for so doing. The law pro-
vides that the children may be commit
ted to an institution for violating these
laws. Boys under ten will not be per-
mitted to sell papers during school
hours.
Not until August 81 will a newsboy
know whether his application is to be
granted. The Offices of the district SUI
perintendents of schools will then be
open, and the boys, accompanied by
their parents. guardians or friends, must
present themselves to obtain theil
badges. Under the new law no girl un.
der is years OF age shall sell newspapers
In the streets.

TO PRESERVE FRENCH BOOKS,
Deposit Special Copies of Every
Work In National Library.

CASTOR Menier. a Frenchman, has
taken the initiative in proposing a law
which will gain the sympathy of con-
temporary writers and future histori-
ans. Menier suggests that printers be
compelled under penalty Of a fine to
deposit two copies Of every new pub
LEGATION in the national collections. The
copies must be printed on special pa
per and bear a special mark showing
their authenticity. The reason for this
measure is that many books Of modern
date in the national collection are In q
state of absolute decay.
