TRADE FALLS OFF.
LOSS OF 40 PER CENT
IN IMPORTATIONS.
Money Furry frightened the Purse
Strings OF the Pcople-IIowever the
Reaction From the Panic Brought
Foreign Business Up to the Old
Standard.

Henry Clews says OF the condition
OF trade as result Of the late lament
ed financial panic;
The panic has exerted a very strlk-
ing effort upon our foreign trade. I'm
medlately after that crisis our exports
were greatly stimulated by forced
liquidation and the necessity OF i'm
porting about $1OO,OOO,OOO OF gold
The four months, November, Decem-
Der, January and February, were each
record dbreakers; the exports OF mer-
chandlse during that period aggregat-
ing $7S5. 100000, or over s64.000,000
more than in the same months OF the
previous year.
In the three succeeding months,
March, April and May. this gain was
entirely lost and turned into an actual
decrease. owing to a sudden cessa-
tion of exports the shipments of mer-
chandise fell nearly $66 900, 900 below
the same three months Of 1907. This
sudden shrnkage was due to the fact
that our exportable surplus of grain
and other products was practically ex-
hausted. and that there was no further
urgency for liquidation.
Nevertheless the contraction in ex-
ports which began in March will be a
serious matter If sustained. 1t has al
ready led to the withdrawal of sew
cral big cargo boats by one of the
leading transatlantic lines, and also ac-
counts to some extent for the heavy |
shrinkage in trunk line traffic.
on the import side of the accounts |
there has been a persistent and very
large shrinkage since the panic, For
the seven months following the panic
our imports Of merchandise amounted |
to S633, 100000. loss of S259, 900, 900,
or about 40 per cent compared with |
the same period of the previous year.
As our exports showed a total
shrinkage in the seven months of
about $2,0OO,O00 1t is evident we are
left with very unusual excess of eX-

ports. If we select the IL months
ending May, we find the excess Of ex-
ports has amounted to s667, 100000,
compared with $445,OOO,000 in the
previous year. This is a most extra
ordinary increase In our trade bal
ance, and must be largely attributed
&c the reactionary effects of the panic,
which temporarily stimulated exports
and checked imports.
As a result of these remedial tend
encies our credit abroad must have
been materially strengthened. OF the
$1O0,OOO,OO0 gold exported right after
the panic we have already returned
fully one-half, and our net imports Of
the precious metal during the past II
months have been s6O,000,000, COM
pared with SS3.OO0,OOO during the
same time last year.
The stock of gold in this country
must, therefore, be unusually heavy,
for in addition to these large impor-
tations it should be remembered that
we produce nearly 500, 100000 of gold
per year, or about one-quarter of the
worlds annual output.

FRUIT TO
BREAK RECORDS
W. j. Jordan, n. p. General Agent,
Says Crop Is Promising.


although the season has BEEN
backward the fruit production of the
Lewiston country this year will beat
all previous records" said w. P. Jor-
dan, general agent of the Northern
Pacific, with headquarters in Lewis
ton, who was in the city yesterday.
says the Spokesman Review.
"The cherry crop is giving evidence
that it will exceed all expectations.
The frosts this spring affected the
crop somewhat. but nothing near the
extent anticipated. On account Of
the floods in Montana which have had
the result of leaving the Lewiston
country with only one route to the
east practically all the cherries are
going to the canneries.
"It is conservatively estimated that
not less than 400 cars of peaches will
be shipped by the Northern Pacific
out of Lewiston this year, exceeding
the number in any year before by at
least 100 cars. This is not taking in
to account an estimated number OF
about 200 cars which will be shipped
from the Snake river country south
of Lewiston by way of Riparia.
THE fruit situation in Lewiston has
never looked better and from present
the crop will give the lar
gest return to the growers since Lew
iston has figured as a fruit-producing
section"

TWO PRISONERS ARRAIGNED.
One Accused of Horse Stealing, the
Other of Wife Prostitution.

Two county Jail prisoners were
taken before Circuit Judge Bean for
arralgnment this afternoon, but in
neither case did the men plead,
Charles Miller. or Ireland, charged
with stealing a rig from the Mcbride
stable at Athena, asked to have until
tomorrow to plead, which request was
granted
William Quinn, charged with con-
niving at keeping his wife in a house
OF prostitution, was also up. How
ever, r. ]. Slater, his attorney, demur4
red to the indictment and argued that
as drawn it does not charge a crime
because it does not state that the
house in which the woman lived was
previously a house of prostitution. At
o'clock Judge Bean had not passed
upon the demurrer.

THIEF STEALS BUGGY.
New Vehicle and Harness Taken From
Yakima Barn.

A thief entered the barn of Ed Tay-
lor at Old Town last night and walked
off with brand new buggy and har-
ness. So far there is no clew as to the
whereabouts of either of the stolen
articles or the thief whose fancy for
driving vehicles led him to make
away with Taylor's.
Nothing was known of the theft un-
til this morning when it was noticed
that the buggy was missing. Think
ing some one had played a practical
joke on him, Mr.. Taylor thought little
of the affair and began a quiet inves-
t!gation. Later he learned Of the alb
sence of the new harness. Realizing
that some one had stolen both harness
and buggy, Mr.. Taylor came to North

possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Englishmen,
there was written an interesting entry

Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting Of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
