Exports BUILDING un Credit.


New York. Oct. 30.-The enormous
influence which American products
are exerting in building up a credit
balance abroad has been the most sig
nal development of the financial sit
uation. Reports from all quarters
show that the great American staples
wheat, cotton, copper, tobacco, oil
meats-are on their way to Europe
this being the season Of the year when
American products are marketed
abroad. The immediate effect Of these
shipments Is to give the United States
a credit abroad which can be speedily
converted into cash. These natural
resources of the country promise tc
exert even greater influence than the !
sale Of American securities abroad /
The latter have to some extent sui |
fered discredit under recent pressure
but the intrinsic value of American
staples used abroad, and their colos.
sal aggregate at this period of the
year, is beyond the reach Of financial
dlstrust.
Runs upon the banks are practic
ally over. Persons who present large
checks and ask for their payment in
currency are invited to consult the
bank officials. In cases where their
need for currency is evidently legiti
mate they usually receive it; in cases
where it is sought for boarding they !
are usually convinced that money is }
better off in the bank or that they ;
should accent certified checLs for do
)osit elsewhere.

One Effect of Prohibition.

it is altogether probable that if tie
people Of Delaware, on the 5th of Nov
ember' should vote for prohibition-or
even the people of Wilmington, where
the great bulk of the liquor business is
located-one of the immediate effects
would be a special session of the Legisla-
ture, for the purpose Of devising means of
taxation to make up for the loss of State
revenue that would follow the abolition
of the license system.
The revenue at present derived from
the sale of licenses for the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the State is about
$4,000 per annum. This revenue was
included in the estimates laid before the
Legislature of 1907 as basis in arrainging
the financial scheme of the State gorern- |
ment for the ensuing two years. In the |
event Of the vote on November 9TH being
favorable to prohibition, this revenue
would Immediately cease, and in addition,
the State would be required to refuna to
every holder of license for the manufac-
ture or sale Of intoxicating liquor the sum
represented by the unexpired term Of his
license. The amount of money to be
thus refunded would be from S25,O 600 or
S3O,O 900, which would have to be added
to the $4,000 regular annual income as
the amount Of revenue the State would
lose is little more than a year which &
would elapse before the assembling of the /
Legislature Of 1909 in regular session.
AT present the current revenues Of the ]
state, including the liquor license receipts q
ire barely sufficient to meet the expenses O
II the government. The cutting off of n
he liquor license revenue would, there. n
ore, mean a deficit OF more than 500, 900 v
'etween the 9Th of November and the p
rst of January, 1909, when the next n
legislature will assemble. 1t is only
esessary to say that the State govern
lent could not be conducted during this
me, with this loss of revenue of more =
nan 100000, without the creation of an n
nlawful floating debt to the extent of
lis deficit. 1t would be absolutely nee.
sary, therefore, to have the Legislature =

The ale made by the monks in ancient
times was priced most highly. and
ever since the production Of liquors
