COUNTRY MAY LOSE
TRADE BALANCE
Bureau of Statistics Pre-
pares Facts on Import
Growth.
American Commercial In
vasion of Europe Talk
Dropped.

A most interesting inquiry is foreioly
suggested b. some computations just
prepared by the Bureau Of Statistics on
foreign trade:
Is the favorable trade balance OF the
United States In danger OF being wiped
out and converted into an unfavorable
balance?
In all the commercial history OF the
country there has been no more striking
or significant fact than the wonderful
growth in imports during the last few
years. There has, indeed, been a large
Increase in exports. but Il has not
nearly kept pace with that Of imports.
For the year ended June 30. Just past.
imports were S1.434.Ooo.Ooo. against less
than half that amount eight years pre-
viously. While imports had been grow
ing over 100 per cent. exports had grown
only So per cent. If this ratio OF devel-
opment on both sides should continue,
IL appears that, IN a few more years.
the imports will have overtaken the
exports.
Our Commercial Invasion
A few years ago there was a great
ado, both here and abroad. about the
American commercial invasion Of Eu-
rope.
That sort OF talk is rot heard nova
days. Instead. In the m.dst OF period
OF unexampled prosperity. the country
has been wondering what Is the expla-
nation OF big exports OF gold this spring
and summer. There has not seemed 70
be any reasonable or normal explana-
ton The New York bankers. the Treas
ury. and customs experts. the financial
managers OF big business in this country
and abroad. have confessed their ina
bIIity 70 explain this movement
But down at the bottom OF the expla-
nations offered for the gold movement
away from these shores Is the array Of
figures on our export and import trade.
In the last fiscal year our imports In
creased more than 500, 600 600. while ex-
ports increased only Sls7. oo0Ooe. That is.
The years business development amount
ed 10 a balance against this country.
Compared With Imports
The statistics make three classes OF
exports OF manufactured articles or ma
terials for use IN manufacturing. which
NAV be consolidated as manufactures
ready for consumption, manufactures
for further use IN manufacturing, and
crude materials FOR manufacturing" In
this big group II appears there was e1-
ported ss5a. 600 IN 1923. and Sl,S2S. 10000
IN Is07-an increase OF a little over 100
per cent It is a fine and healthy show
ing until Il Is compared with the I'm
ports for the same group: Siszo00Ooo n
1.gsa o-d & 40 90 100 n 1907 a gain OF
is per cent
Leave the single staple, raw cotton.
ont Of the calculation, and on the bu-
reau's figures the balance OF trade
would now be against this country. In
1907 we exported $3.50. 10000 worth OF it.
against $40. 10000 worth IN 1899 But -
tells a poor story for the development
OF Americas manufacturing interest
that while this immense increase in raw
cotton was sold abroad. our importa-
ton OF cotton manufactures increased
good deal more than 100 per cent-fronn

ture which has been planned forE Morningside Heights, the present local tion of other buildings. will be ready for occupancy by September, 1908. [
 The architecture is to be old Eng fish Gothic and the general contour of the building will somewhat resemd| ble the house of parliament in Lon-I don. Like the plan of the English! colleges, the buildings are groupedt around a center quadrangle. which will eventually be entirely closed, although the present subscription will make tEi necessary for the committee 10 leave a few sections of the building out for the present.
 The administration entrance will bo at Broadway and One Hundred and Twentieth street, where handsomol tower will surmount the whole struc-I ture. Al One Hundred and Twenty. first street and Claremont avenue e driveway will pass underneath 8 smaller tower into the largo lawnI covered quadrangle. This is tho chapel entrance to the seminary. and re'I minds one of the college gates int English universities. DormItory ac4 commodations will provide for 1to students. and later additions wilu double this capacity.
 When completed this new seminary building will have cost almost e1.00osd 900, the same amount having bsen aly ready spent for the land.
 Records show that the building q the new seminary has been cOnten>d plated for many years. It was only| ] within the last year or two. howevers| that affairs SO shaped themselves aol to enable the governors to dehnitolyf decide upon the future locaticnl Awhile ago it was thought by many that the new building of the seminary would be located upon certain lot1| which had been secured in what iol now to be known as St. Nicholno| park. The city took that hou5 ever.
 With the addition of this new. mac nificent building to Morningtoo! Heights it is interesting to note thoc within the last decade many prom31 nent and permanent large str'scture1 of architectural beauty have found their location there. as, for instance. Columbia college. St. Luke's hospitai| the Cathedral of St John the Divine. Grants tomb, Barnard college and many other buildings of a semi-publlo nature. W
 It was . difficult task to select f0C best among the many designs subnie' ted for the new seminary. SevoroI members of the committee thouoE1 that the second choice was the mcc1 ornate. The method of the select1on was absolutely anonymous. Tue @. signs and the descriptions were deliv. cred at the seminary building. and ac' companying them sealed euvclopes containing the names of -he srrhl. tects. These designs were Numbered in the order in which they werei re' ceived. The envelopes confaining ~ names were sealed up and put ia t1< seminary safe until such time co u1 committee had made its decisIon.
 It SO happened that the accepted 11 sign was No 13. while the soroo( choice was No. z7.
