item was cotton. amounting to $780,
100000. while the remaining 100000

products. manufactures, the products
of the mines. forests ana fisheries. The
high prices of cotton during the past
few months resulted in a reduction OF
purchases abroad in the earlier months
of the year and thus shortage of
stocks, and as consequence the first
month of the cotton year, october,

A comparison of October exports

exports were twenty nine millions; in
1880. eighty-f1ve millions; in 1890,
ninety eight millions, and in 1900 1863

single month in the history of our
commerce. and In 1903 100 millions. or
more than in any preceding month ex-

Third Assistant Secretary OF State
Pierce has submitted to the secretary
a report on the general situation as ne
found It In no case, he says. was the
consul forewarned of his arrival. He
says our cDnsulates in Europe are on
the whole in excellent condition; that
the service COMPARES fayorably with
that of any other country. The system
of remuneration OF cvnsuis he found to
be unequally distributed. but on the
whole our consuls are inadeQuately
compensated. The fee system of COM
pensation he regards As an unfortunate
feature, introducing an element Of un-
certainty into the consul's remunera-
ton which is embarrassing and disQui-
citing to him In the performance of his
duties. Pierce regards as unfortunate
the appointment OF naturalized Ameri-
can citizens to the country of their
origin in a consular capacity. not alone
from the point of view Of the govern
ment to whom they are accredited.
which seldom regards such appoint
ments with satisfaction. but from the
view OF efficiency. The report deals
with the subject OF the immigration
duties of the consuls. in connection
Herewith. saying that they are ex-
cessively arduous. involving irregular
hours and exposure not only to wealth

diseases. Pierce concludes by remark
ing that the conditions in Germany

greater protection to the United States
from importation of emigrants than dc
those OF Russia. Poland and the ORR
