EXPORT TRADE TENDENCIES.

The ability of the United States to manu-
facture goods and sell them in the open for
egn market is still bitterly disputed by the old
line free traders, who contend that our pro-
tective tariff prevents US from competing on
equal terms with other manufacturing nations.
Yet il is becoming clearer every year that we
are not only able to compete in their own mar
kets with foreign nations, but are building up
a trade abroad in which manufactures are dis
placing raw materials the element of major
value bulletin just issued by the Bureau
Of Statistics of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor dealing with our foreign commerce
in April and in the ten months of the fiscal
year ended with April exhibits in striking
light the transformation our trade abroad is
undergoing Not only is the volume of this
trade increasing enormously, but the proper
ton of manufactured TO manufactured goods
is steadily rising.
April's commerce established a new high rec

was S225 600 O00-the largest figure ever reached
for that month The total for April 1904. was
1 S193, 100000. and the highest previous total
that for April I9O3-was S197 900 900. The ex-
port trade for the month also established a

Tie Far East for some time than the recent
dispatch which mentioned a rumor concerning

ment There is probably nobody outside of the
cohndenual circles who can tell with any rea-
son3ble assurance where either of the hostile
neets is, within a thousand miles. Roiest-

may be of Majicc Shima Togo NAV be lurl,

doing so only between its 1th-ave. station and

that through trains from New-England might

week At conference held TO discuss the
maintenance of one of the local stations in Phil

he contemplated adopting electricity as a mo-
tive power for urban and suburban service
though retaining steam for the movement of eX-
presses into and out of the city. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Reading company to build ele-
waited structure in 9th-st, Philadelphia, capable
of carrying four tracks the prime object being
n avoid grade crossings. After it is completed
the opera ton of electric trains on the outermost
tracks will be begun. and platforms and ticket
offices will be provided at intervals of only
few blocks.

SUBWAY PILLARS AND THE EYES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; A recent article in The Tribune relative TO
the bad effect Of the subway the eyesight OF
those employed in it leads me to write TO YOU nv
observation Of the difference in the effect on my
own eyesight between black and white pillars in
the subway. In part OF It for some distance the
pillars are painted black. As all subway travellers
have noticed, the effect of the white pillars on tina
eyes is that Of a constantly flashing light I have
noticed that when the white pillars are left behind
and the train IS travelling through the black pill
Jared section this effect is entirely absent So FAR
as the eyes are concerned. there are no pillars
there. When the white pillars begin again the
dlsagreeable flashes begin again Granting thaC
the virtues of the white and black paints used for
these pillars are equal in preserving the iron. why
could not the PETERBOROUGH paint all the pillars
black. and thus save aIik. the ewes OF their eu1.
