high prices which injured cotton goods
trade and served to check exports. According to
the estimates made by The Financial Chroni-
cle," the acreage this year has materially in
creased in all parts Of the cotton belt, and, al
though adverse weather affected the early
growth, current conditions favorable for
satisfactory development Of the crop. The con-
dition Of the plant June was more promising
than it was at the same time in 1903, and If the
June weather is satisfactory the outlook for
large yield will be NEST encouraging.
According to the detailed statement of foreign
trade for the month of April, the exports Of
manufactures from this country increased in
value the time year ago, while the
value more than $2O0O,OO0. Total exports
showed a reduction from April a year ago OF
only S105,5S9, while total imports showed re-
duction in value to the amount of over S4,OOO,-
OOU. For the nine months of the fiscal year
ended April 80 exports OF manufactures IN
creased in value nearly $50, 100000, COM
pared with the corresponding time in the pre-
Ceding year, while exports of agricultural prod
ucts increased in value nearly SIOOOOOO. The
total incIe ease for the nine months in exports OF
all products amounted in value to nearly $685.,
100000 while in imports there q decrease
to the amount of nearly $50, 600, 900. These fig
ureS present reason for much of the adverse
comment which IS heard regarding our foreign
chandise from this country is lighter than 1t was
last year, but the excess of exports over imports
continues large. The United States Treasury
conditions are also causing uneaSiness in poorly
ment deficit for the last month In view of the
Panama Canal payment the excess of eXpendi-
lures Of nearly S55.000,00O for the month is not
at all surprising.
The extreme dulness in last weeks stock mar

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

London. June 5.-The whole OF the 100000 Rus
sian credit notes is said to have been absorbed by
French investors and tho price has now reached
a small premium. This evidence Of confidence on
the part Of France in her ally had strengthening
effect on the Stock Exchange last week. where
most foreign bonds showed frmness. although little
business was transacted in any market beyond
small but steady demand for irst-class investment
securities.
Tho South American market was heavy because
Of fears of trouble between Brazil and Peru.
American railroad securities continued irregular

vving business until after the elections. kaffirS

operators on the market are hopeful OF better
times.
