CHINA AS A MARKET.
The American Commerce with That
Country Is Rapidly Growing.
Companion of Figures on Exports Of
Fiscal Year Just Past and Those
OF Ten Years Ago Shows
Large Gain.

Recent developments with reference
to additional facilities for trade with
China lend additional interest to some
figures showing the growth of our COM
merce with that country. Exports to
China in the fiscal year 1903 aggregate
about $19,000,000, against less than $4,-
$1,000 in 1898. The total value of our
exports to China in 1903 exceed those Of
any earlier year except 1902, when they
were above the normal by reason of the
very light exports to China in 1901, in
which year importations were greatly
interfered with by existing hostilities in
that country.
These figures Of SIS, 900 900 Of exports
direct to China do not by any means
show, however, the total of our exports
to that country. as large proportion of
our exports to Hong-Kong also enter
China. Exports to Hong-Kong in the
fiscal year just ended aggregate over 49,
100000, making our total exports to
China and Hong-Kong about $27 ,000,-
600, against total of S., 900 900 in 1893.
Comparing this growth with that Of
our commerce with other parts of the
world, 1t may be said that our total ex-
ports to Europe in 1903 aggregate little
over billion dollars, against $eS2 ,000,-
900 in 1893, having therefore increased
less than 60 per cent. during that period.
Those to North America amount to about
$215, 000,0 900, against sis, 900 900 in 1893.
having thus increased about 80 per cent;
those to South America aggregate about
$1,000, 900, against 1872 100000 in 1893,
an increase Of about 80 per cent: those
to Asia in 1903 aggregate about $50 ,000,-

The question Of the effect Of eithe r

consideration by the financiers. It is
only a question Of getting up a bill

perhaps we'll that the factions canno9

total for the year is about $36 200, 900,
against $11 ,000, 900 in 1893, but are not
properly comparable with those of 1893,
because of the fact that they do not in
clude the commerce with the Hawaiian
islands, which Is considered part Of
the domestic commerce of the United
States and separately stated. To Africa
the total exportsfor 1908 aggregate about
100000, against a little less than &c.
100000 in 1893.
It is apparent from these figures that
the growth in our exports to Asia has
been more rapid than to any other Sec
ton of the world except Africa, and the
growth in the exports to- China has been
very important factor in the growth
Of shipments to Asia. Comparing the
growth Of our exports to China with
those to Japan, it may be said that our
total exports to Japan in 1903 aggregate
about $21 200, 900, against $4,000, 900 in
1898, the increase to Japan having been
slightly greater than that to China.

faulty. But having diagnosed the dis
ease they differ when it comes to pre-
scribe the remedy.
Congressman Fowler has repeated.
ly tried to pass bill in consonance
with the republican platform, but has
failed. He will probably repeat his
attempt at the next session with the
same result. -
Congress would probably be glad
to. pass the measure if the financial
bosses could come to an agreement to
support it. But there is the rub.
Wall street does not care for any
other measure than one that will re-
lieve it in case of stringency.
Therefore it supports the Aldrich bill
to increase the facility for the big
bankers to use the money of the gov.
eminent when the market calls for it.
That is the cheapest way for the big
banks to get money. Unfortunately
there are not enough government
bonds in the market to be used as Sc.
curity for deposits. Hence they want
congress to legalize the use of certain
other bonds for that purpose. The
scheme is fine. The government COL
lects through an exorbitant tariff mil
lions Of dollars not needed for the ex-
penses of the government. When
money gets scarce in Wall street the
bankers deposit bonds with the. gov.
eminent and get the government funds
as deposits. y Not only is this cheap
money, but it would have tendency
to raise the market value of such rail-
road bonds as were put In the list OF
bonds that could be used as such &C.
curity.. Hence the owners Of such
bonds may be classed among the
friends Of the Aldrich meas ure. e
The western bankers, who are not
so situated as to be able to take adj
vantage Of this scheme for using
Uncle Sans money at a. slight cost.
are opposed to the Aldrich scheme.
At the same time they are opposed TO
the original Fowler plan, because they
are afraid of the branch bank scheme
Included therein. It appears now,
however, that Fowler has been hob.
nobbing with the western bankers al
their the .asso ciation meetings during the
summer, and an agreement has been
reached that will eliminate from his
measure the objecti onable feature, a.

STRIKE STOPS WORK
Trouble Between Plumbers De-
lays Jobs In Schools.

The long continuance of the plumb
ers' strike is causing great deal of
inconveniece to the school board be-
cause of the delay in the work on the
several school buildings now in prog
reSS.
There are at present three contracts
for plumbing, to be let as soon as pos
sible, but the board has decided not to
advertise for bids until the present
trouble between the men and the en-
ployers has been adjusted. as the in
spectors think, under present circum-
stances, that the bids, if any were re-
ceived, would be too high.
Under ordinary, circumstances the
plumbing work for the Phalen, the
Davis and the Harrison schools would
be advertised for at once. In the case
of the Davis school, the contract has
been advertised twice, both for plumb
ing and heating, and both times the
bids were rejected as too high. AS the
construction on this school has now
gone up~two and a half stories, and
heat is necessary to prevent damage
to the plastering, the board, at the
meeting yesterday, determined to
again advertise for the heating plant,
so that it may be put in before cold
weather. The plumbing, however, will
be deferred with that of the other
schools until the end of the labor trou-
bles
The board was informed that the
heating plant for the Humboldt school,
which has been delayed, is installed
so that the upper floors can be heat
ed by Monday, the lower floors being
as yet unconnected with the plant
The work is being rushed by the con-
tractor, and the end of. next week
should see the building ready for the
winter

MORE ROOM
School inspectors May Move to
the City Hall.

The board of school inspectors is de-
termined,. if possible, to get quarters
in the city hail. and at the meeting
yesterday deferred securing needed adj
ditlonal space in their present building
until committee, consisting of Presi-
dent Holman and Inspectors Savard,
Egan and Fisher, can examine the
available space in the city hall and re-
port on it to the board
The committee will make a visit to
the upper floor Of the city hall this
afternoon at 8 o'clock. They will also
talk to the members of the city hall
and court house commits Sion, which
has the space in the city hall at its
disposal
IF they would give us the space for
merly occupied by the public library
1t would answer our purpose. and we
should get, it If possible said In
spector Fischer. THE question of ar
tificial light for some of the rooms will
not bother us any more than it does
here, where we have to have lights
burning all the time in some of the
rooms"
I'VE have got to have more space
that is certain said Supt. Smith.
I'VE have been having anywhere from
100 to 500 people calling here every
day. There are at least $500 applica-
lions from children for leave to work.
which have to be attended to, and a
large number of transfers come in
every day. 1t Is also necessary that
the supervisors have a room for their
work. We must either go to the city
hall or get more room in this build
ing"
The committee, which will visit the
city hall, will report at a meeting of
the board to be held next week.

SAvARD LANDS JOB
School Inspector Elected Sec.
rotary of the Board.

Octave Savard, one of the. members
of the board of school inspectors, was
elected secretary of the board at the
meeting yesterday afternoon, to take
the place Of Edward McNamee, whose
resignation was accepted by the board,
to take effect on Oct. 1.
Savard will serve for the unexpired
term, which will terminate on March
1 next. McNamee, who was elected to
the office on July 1, stated that he was
compelled to resign on account of con-
tinued ill-health, which, for a greater
part of the time, rendered 1t impossi-
BILE for him to attend to his duties.
President Holman said after the
meeting that there was nothing be-
hind MeNamee's resignation beyond
the ill-health stated in his letter.

man. 1.-THE matter came up so quickly
that it left US more or less confused.

make good man for the place. OF
course his election leaves a vacancy
in the board which will have to be
filled by Mayor Smith. 1 do not think
that he has decided on the appoint
ment as yet"
Mr.. Holman did not vote for Mr..
Savard, and while he refused to dis
cusS his vote, it is understood that he
thought that Mr.. Savard should serve
