OUR FOREIGN TRADE
AGAIN EXPANDING
Imports for Current Fiscal
Year May Exceed Billion.
EXPORTS S1,400,000,0o0
Figures for Three Months Ending With
February Nearly Double Those of
Same Period Year Ago.

] The export trade OF the United States
/ is rapidly resuming its normal condi-
/ tons February figures OF the Bureau
of Statistics show the largest exports
Of any February in The history of our
commerce. and also show that the ex-
ports OF the three months ending with
February were larger Than those OF the
corresponding period Of any earlier year.
/ On the import side. the figures also
show continuation OF the growth which
has characterized the last two years.
and the figures OF the eight months
ending with February suggest that the
imports OF the United States in the fiscal
year 1903 may exceed a billion dollars.
while the export figures seem likely 10
exceed one billion. four hundred NIL
lions.
Record Breaker for February.
In the short month of February alone,
the exports amounted to 1925. 592. 105.
which is twelve millions in excess Of any
preceding February. and more than
double the figures OF February 1893. in
which month the total exports were
s59.93l.ss4. Taking the three months
ending with February. 1863. the total ex-
ports are $407 $780, 200. against s215.151. =
Al in the three months ending with
February 1893. Thus. considering either
the month OF February or The three
months ending with February 1903, the
total exports are not only larger than
in that period Of any preceding year. but
practically double those OF decade ago
New Crops a Factor.
These large export figures are due in
part 70 the fact that the new corn crop
is rapidly entering the markets OF the
world. 10 which the United States was
able TO make but slight contributions
last year. the corn expectations in Feb
rua-~ 1908. having been thirteen mill
lion bushels. against little over one
million bushels in February last year.
Cotton exports also show a marked gain
over those OF last year. the value Of
cotton exported in February. 1903. being
S37. 423,5l7. against s24. 7eS. 7s2 I'm Feb
ruary of last year. Both in quantity
and price the cotton exports OF Feb
ruary exceed those OF February. 1902. the
number OF pounds exported in February.

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The bank
statement lust issued shows the follow
ing:
Reserve over all deposits.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-03-21

The bank statement is somewhat bet
ter than expected. The actual loss in
cash is H.713.560 but this was more
than Offset by the decrease in loans Of
Sl2 1885, 900. which was more than had
been hoped for. The decrease in deposits
of s14.47s 900 is. of course, largely identi-
cal with the decrease in loans. The
banks now hold a surplus reserve over
all deposits of ss.471 900. against S3.1sI -
400 last year. somewhat better market
is looked for

Some comment is heard On the fact
that Metropolitan Street Railway and
Consolidated Gas seem 10 advance or de-
cline together with unvarying regularity.
In explanation It is suggested that the
attacks on both OF these properties have
had the same source and were fostered
by practically the same interest The
absurdity of some OF tho charges against
Metropolitan and the expected result
OF the attack on Consolidated Gas has
induced a bullish sentiment. ~ is said
concerning these properties But in con-
servative circles in the Street there is
a disposition TO link the two properties
together in a certain way and 70 consid-
er this physical relation between them
as the real reason for their simuitane-
Gus movements in the market This
physical relation certain interests be-
lieved could be made the basis OF an at
tack on both companies. but investiga-
ton seems to have demonstrated the
absurdity of II.

Taking the situation before the Rock
Island-Frisco deal was announced il
may be pointed out that the former
owners Of Frisco we're largely interested
in Mexican Central. 1t is only necessary
TO name one man 10 show this and he
Is II. Clay Pierce. He. with the Messrs.
Noskum and Campbell. controlled Frisco.
But Mr.. Pierce Is one Of the directing
powers in Mexican Central and he is
chairman of the board OF directors.
shortly before the announcement Of the
passing of control OF Frisco. Mr. Pierce
went on an extended tour OF inspection
Of the Mexican Central and returned a
short time ago with very enthusiastic
views as 10 the property His efforts
hereafter Will be largely directed toward
bringing Mexican Central 10 the highest

only necessary TO point out that they
