But that was the last of uniformity in

against the sharp gains in special

heaviness. There was a revival of con-

its character would be, so that this

a. NEW COMMERCIAL RECORD.

For the first time In the history Of
the United States the value of manu-
featured articles exported from this
country. exceeded the value of it's agri-
cultural exports. Ordinarily, the val1e
of agricultural exports is double that
or the manufacturers, but the figures OF
foreign commerce for May show
balance in favor of manufactured pro-
ducts for 100000 in round numbers.
There has been but one complete
fiscal year in the history of our eS-
xof manufactures were even half as
great as the total exports of agricul-
tural products. In 1900 the value nf
manufactures exported was $433,s5l.-
756 and of agricultural products $685.,
s5s,123, so that in that particular year
the value OF manufactured exported was
a little more than one-half that OF
agricultural products exported, but
never before had manufactures equaled
or exceeded the value OF agrlcultufai
products in our figures of domestic ex-
ports.
1t is now quite apparent that the
exports of manufactures for the full
fiscal year will exceed those of any
preceding year in the history of our
commerce. In the eleven months end
ing with may. 1904, the amounted to
40 million dollars, in round numbers.
and as the single month Of May show

is beyond question that June will add
a sufficient amount to bring the total

quiet, but there has been a gradual ex-
pansion in some branches. Retail trade
is good in seasonable merchandise
Minneapolis--Go growing weather
and the prospects of large wheat crop
have had a stimulating effect and in
some lines fair sized orders have been
placed. Local retail trade is slowly inn
proving. Shipments of white pine from
Mississippi valley points for May de-
creased nearly 100000 feet, as COM
pared with the same month last year,
and the total decrease for the first five
months OF this year is over 100000
feet. This shrinkage is caused by the
efforts of the mills to curtail output by
a lessened demand for white pine for
building purposes in some sections, and
partly from other causes. Prices, how
ever, have held firm and show little
tendency toward weakness.
Pittsburg-The window glass market
is quiet and demand slow. Window
glass factories have all blown out ex-
cept the tank factories of the American
Window Glass Company. The summer
shut down will curtail production and
an increased demand should strength
en- prices, which are now reported 80
and 10 and 5.
Providence-Manufac in jew
elry report the dullest period expert

Local jobbers in mill supplies say that
June is usually very quiet, but their
sales for the month were unusually
light. Collections have been fairly
good. Local manufacturers of cotton
goods report no Improvement, and APP
parently do not anticipate any imme-
diate relief.

LOCKS LIKE PARKER.

AS the hour of trial approaches Mr..
Parker's prospects of securing the
democratic nomination brighten. This
condition is related more to the dis
organization of his opposition than to
his own actual strength. His sup
porters are claiming that he will be
nominated on the first or not later
than the second ballot. While pre-
convention claims are always to be
largely discounted there is little doubt
that Judge Parker has grown stronger
and his supporters have succeeded in
effecting a much more effective align
ment. Considerable Cleveland sentf-
nent has developed within the past
week but Cleveland sentiment is in a
way Parker asset. The ST Louis
Convention appears to be headed to-
ward Parker.
The burning question before the
democracy is what Will Bryan do in
event of Parker's nomination.? Every
one knows or believes he knows what
Mr. Bryan's course would be in the
event of Cleveiands nomination. Par
ker represents all of Bryan's distaste
to Cleveland except possibly the per-
sonal grudge that has ranked ever
since the eastern democracy following
Mr. Cleveland's example an precept
fell away from Bryan and defeated him
for the presidency. To Bryan and the
western democrats of whose principles
Bryan is the spokesman Parker is a
stalking horse behind which Cleve-
land, Hill and the special interests of
which they are the representatives are
creeping to the control of the demo-
cratic party.
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan will not bolt
Parker outright but there Is little
doubt that he will withhold his active
support and that he will be followed
by a very considerable number of mid
die west democrats. The Iowa demo-
crat is fair sample of the Bryan fol-
lowing and then are thousands of these
who will vote for Roosevelt next No
vember or stay sulking at home in
event Of Parker's nomination. But
present appearances denote that the
west will not be consulted in the st.
Louis nomination.

RusIN Iss Ar LEADING POINTS

Chicago--Warmer weather stimu-
lated the demand in leading retail
lines. The republican convention last
week brought large numbers of visitors.
including a considerable number OF
BUYERS, who placed orders for fall de-
livery. Wholesale houses note more
liberal selections for the interior cotton
goods, woolens, clothing and boots anu
shoes, and dry goods jobbers report
current transactions of fair volume
and some gain appearing in the fall
trade. There was some slowness in
local collections, but country settle
inents are reported satisfactory.
New Orleans-There has been little
or no improvement in general trade
conditions and jobbers report business
of only fair proportions. Retail trade
is quiet Collections are slow. but are
up to expectations for the season.
Baltimore--Trade is seasonably quiet
and retail trade in some sections is
suffering from labor and other adverse
local conditions.
ST Louis Business has picked up
considerably in Wholesale dry goods,
footwear and clothing. Sales of dry
goods for immediate use are very large.
Collections are good.
Kansas City Wholesale trade in dry
goods and notions is quiet, tho jobbers
report slight Improvement over last
week. Collections are fair. Retail
dealers generally complain of dull bus
mess.
