of boots and shoes from the United
States show steady growth. and will
for the calendar year aggregate more
than $7.000,000 In value. In 1893 they
amounted to less than $3.50, 900. Few

Cuba and the British West Indies are
the largest consumers. To Asia the
exports of boots and shoes from the
United States are small. the British
West Indies and China being chief buy
ers. Australia is a large importer OF
boots and shoes from the United

the last attempt TO lift the Ameri'

similar to those which aroused com
ment on both sides OF the Atlantic two
years ago. when Mr. Barrie asserted
that Sir Thomas had failed to live up
to the financial agreement between
them. Mr. Davies friends say he
overdrew his account nearly $3.50
and Sir Thomas. in acknowledgement
of the fact, that the arrangements had
cost far less than on any previous at
tempt, suggested that this amount be
charged to the general expense ac-
count of the yacht race, and agreed
further to give a months vacation To
Mr. Davies after the business details
which had suffered somewhat during
the races, were brought ND to date.
This Mr.. Davies alleges, has not been
done. He said before he sailed that
