STATEMENT FROM ROME
Whatever Has Been Done by Italian Government Has Not Been Against
 the French hut in the Interest OT
 Peace.

Rome, Oct. 15.-In connection with the alleged revelations regarding events which preceded the resignation of the French minister. M. DeIcasse, the following semi-officiaI communi- cation has been issued here: The ac- tion taken by Italy at Paris London, and Berlin in connection with the Mo rocco affair was absolutely friendly and cOnciliatO~y and in the interest of peace. The action was not faultless, as, owing to it, France accepted the conference proposed by Germany, which the former originally opposed, while Italy was able to induce Ger many to agree to the fundamental conditions to be discussed by the con- ference. Foreign Minister TittOni com municated this to NJ. Biarre. the French minister to Italy, and nothing else"
 It is also understood that the ItaI- ian government will continue to use it's influence at Paris and Berlin for an understanding between Germany and France. The relations between Italy and France continue to be most friendly, the French government hay ing denied emphaically a phrase ac- c.edited to Premier Rouvier, which was considered disrespectful towards Italy. Indeed as one evidence of these good relations, France will send a na- val squadron to Genoa. to greet King Victor Emmanuel, who is going there October 28 to inaugUrate new harbor works

 In nearly every class there is great activity shown both as to imports and exports. On the import side imports of animals and articles of food show for the eight months an increase of $10,000,0O0; crude materials for use in manufacturing, as already stated. an increase of $5OOOO, 900; wholly or par tially manufactured materials, SIS. 900.

 The duties collected from customs have increased materially since the close of the fiscal year 1905. tha. year having shown no apprecfab1e increase in customs revenue as compared with the preceding year. The total amount of duties collected from customs dur ing the fiscal year 1905 was S262.

KANSAS CITY MARKET
4 Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City. Oct. 15.-More than S2,O0O cattle came in last week. and conditions were more favorable to sell CTS than they have been for some time Country buyers were more active than any week before this season. and packer buyers competed with them for some medium feshy steers, on account of a scarcity of desirable killing steers of all clesses. These cattle have for merly gone to the feeders without QuestiOn. The result was an advance on all kinds of steers of 10 to 20 cents Cows declined about 10 cents. as large numbers of them were received from Northern Texas and Colorado. Some heavy mountain cows sold at S2.GG, and a string of "J.J." cows. from Charming. Texas sold, Friday, at S2-60, the can ners at S1.90, the bulk of the medium to common cows at $2.20 to $2.50. The majority of range steers, both for kill ing and for the country, sold at S2.15 to S3.35. with a few strings of desira- bIe stockers and feeders up to $3.30. Calf receipts were lighter. and prices a quarter higher, especially for heifer calves. not too heavy, which had to be substituted for light veals. which are hard to get The cattle run yesterday was 24,OOO head, market steady and

 Receipts of sheep and lambs were 1000 last week, against 57.0e0 the previous week, and prices advanced about 25 cents. as demand was strong from all sources. Supply is moderate, $500 head. market strong and active. some Utah ewes, 1O2 pounds. at S4.75, another string at $4.60, lambs at $7-00- Wethers sold late last week at S4.S5. yearlings, at $500, but toppy stuff will bring above those figures. Country de- mand is as strong as ever, breeding ewes. S4.25 to S4.6O, wetners and year lings up to S4.75. and feeding lambs. $5.5O to S6.25. 4 new packing house was opened last week, the American Dressed Beef and Provision company. making eight large plants now in op- eratiOn here. Demand for all classes of sheep and lambs is such. and the market is so snappy, that predictions favor some further advances in the near future.

 a Month
Official Figures for August Show a Twenty Five Per Cent Increase over Same hGnth Last Year.

Washington Oct. 14-The record of
 the foreign commerce of the United
 States during August strongly reflects the prosperous condition of trade and
 industry. Figures just published by the department of commerce and la
 bor, through it's bureau of statistics, show that exports of manufactures during the single month of August have increased nearly $9,O00,O0O, or about % per cent as compared with the same month of last year, and about $20,000,000 as compared with Au- gust, 1901. Meantime the manufactur- CTS have increased their consumption of materials imported for use in the various processes of domestic industry, the August, 1905, imports of crude ar ticles for use in manufacturing hay ing increased nearly $2, ,0OO, 900 over the imports of August, 1904, while there is an increase of about $50 0OO, coo when the eight months ending with August of this year are compared with the corresponding period a year earlier. That class of manufacturers mate rials designated as wholly or par tially manufactured'' also shows in creased imports-about a million dol lars during August, and over $13,0OO,G00 during the eight months ending with August.
 The figures show also that more manufactures are being exported from than are imported into the country condition which has been brought about during the short period since 1897. Imports of manufactures Gin cIuding in that term for this compari- son manufactures ready for cOnsump ton, articles wholly or partially man ufactured for use as materials in the mechanic arts, and articles of vOlun- tary use and luxuries) aggregated during August last S45, GOO, 900, while exports of manufactures during that month showed a total of s51,OOO, 900.
