 IN COMMERCE
This COuntry'S Business Last Year $IO,OOO.OOO
More Than Half of the Trade Consisted :Of Ex- ports.

Washington, Aug. 13-Automobiles valued at more than 10 million dollars passed through the ports of the United States in its foreign trade in the fiscal year just ended. Five and a half mill lion dollars worth of these were ex- ports and iIa million dollars worth imports. In addition to the 5I2 mil lion dollars worth of automobiles eX- ported to foreign countries, about s100,- O00 worth went to Porto Rico, $l60.000 worth to Hawaii, and about S, 1000 worth to the Philippines.
 The foreign trade in automobiles shows rapid growth, especially to the export side. The value of exports of automobiles and parts thereof was. in 1902. little less than 1 million dollars; in 1903, lA millions; in 1904, 1A mil lions; in 1905. 2iz millions; m 1906, 3ls millions; and in 1907, s5.5e0.000. On the import side the value of automo- piles brought into the United States has only within the last two years been sufficient to justify the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Com mercial and Labor in stating their inn ports separately, the value of automo- piles imported in the fiscal year 1906 being $3,S44.000. Thus the growth in exports of automobiles is much more rapid than that in imports. and the value of automobiles exported seems likely in the near future to exceed by far the value of those imported.
 France. Italy. the United Kingdom, and Germany supplied the 1 million dollors' worth of automobiles imported during the year. nearly , million dol lars worth of this being from France. a little less than a half million dollars worth from Italy. and the remainder about equally divided between the United Kingdom and Germany. Of the s5.500.0O0 worth of automobiles ex- ported during the past year, sl.500. .000 worth went to the UniteH Kingdom, d . little over sl 100000 worth to Canada, "a little less than sl.0O0.O00 worth to Mexico, s500.00o worth to France. and a $25O.O0 worth to Italy. Thus about s2.500.0O0 worth of the automobiles eX- ported in 1907 went to Europe. a little over s1.OOVO0O worth to British North America. s1,250OO0 worth to the coun- tries south Of the United States, in cluding Mexico. South America, and the West Indies. and about s350, ,O0O worth to Asia and Oceania.'
 To nearly all countries the exports of automobiles during the year 1907 show a marked increase over those of 1906. To the United Kingdom the ex- ports in the fiscal year 1906 were but s94S.995. and in 1907 s1.530.20i; to

of valuable lands in Tehama county, developed two features. In a vigorous attempt by counsel for each of the de- the alleged fraud upon the other and a united effort by counsel for the de- fense to batter down the testimony of the governments chief witness. Chas. r. Shell. The latter effort was at tended by some measure of success. Smell however stuck to the main fact of his testimony that a conspiracy eX- isted between Benson and Perrins.
 The gist of his statement was that Benson had secured 12.OO0 acres of government land in Tehama county by fraud, using dummy entries in ex- changing lands within the forest re- serves for other lands: that Shell had acted in these transactions as Perrin's agent, and so became fully cognizant of the conspiracy. Shells physical con- dition made his cross examination an ordeal uncommOnly severe. A child of his is at the point of death and he spent three sleepless nights at the bed side. Other witnesses who testified for the government were Special Agent Burns and the detectives in his em- ployment.
 Tomorrow the prosecution will place upon the stand a sensational witness. former employe of the land office at Washington. who. it is stated. has made a full confession to Burns. He is to tell for the first time the story of the notoriously named Bathroom Bribery at the national capital having to do with the alleged scattering of grease money" by Benson among some of the land offices.

uidatiOn in the stock market has play
ed its part in the showing Of this item
and the return of advances made to the
trust companies during the period ot
the strain has affected both the loan
and cash items.
The condition Of the government
finances is attracting increased atten-
ton. There was some profit taking ip
