not be diagnosed correctly by the re-

Omcial returns show that for ';sign ;g commerce. ne aon in the fiscal year end ords. both as to exports and imports while the new year promises still bet- ter results because of the surplus on abroad. For the last week at this port alone exports were s1,a52.245 larger than in 1905 and imports gained $914,- 253. Railway earnings thus far re- ported for July show an average in- crease of 7.2 per cent over last years.
 Restoration of foundry pig to S14 Is probably the best development of the week In the iron and steel industry.
 Improvement is noted in the primary markets for cotton goods after a pro- longed period of indifference on the part of the buyers. Efforts to secure oa {t. Af ket encounter some opposition but the general level continues about the high est on record.
