While the setback of the year just
closed is deplorable, there is no reason
to think that it is anything but tempo
rary. Our oversee business gives every
assurance Of expansion, and further
growth will undoubtedly follow recovery
from the present conditions. Trade
movements are more clearly shown by
the averages Of periods Of years than by
returns for or comparisons Of individual
years. Upon that basis, the business Of
the United States appears thus:
Imports. Exports.
1850 1850. ............ ~soso.oo.ooo s7es ,ooe.o 900
isso-ioos, ............ 37'Ooo'oU m.0o.ooo
1soo-ieo4. ............ els.0oo.ooo Lao 100000
While the figures for 1908 show a
shrinkage of $4,000 900 in imports and
Of $40, 600, 900 in exports when compared
with the figures of 1907, the imports of
that year are only $e5, Q 1900 below the
average of the three preceding years and
the exports are $14e, OOQ, 900 above the
average of that term. Comparing the
exports Of 1908 with those Of 1907, there
has been a gain in sales of foodstuffs in
crude condition and food animals, q
small decline in foodstuifs partly. or
wholly manufactured, a considerable
falling off in raw materials, notably in
the cotton account, and a modest gain
In exports of manufactured and partly
manufactured products, Full details for
tho trade of the year are not yet re-
ported, but the report on breadstuffs
shows an increase of $50, O0O, 900; meat
and dairy products suffered a $4,000 600
decline; live cattle, hogs and sheep a
S., 200, 900 decrease, and raw cotton a de-
cline of $43, OOO 900. In mineral oil there
was an $1s,e5O, 600 increase.
Copper shows a large advance in guam
tity shipped and a considerable increase
in total value. Sales of cotton cloth drop
to figures which are utterly disreputable.
Full returns are not at hand, but they
win undoubtedly record the smallest sales
since 1895. Shipments Of iron and steel
and manufactures thereof made fair
gains. Shipments of leather dimin-
ished, but sales Of boots and shoes
show modest increase. Leaf tobacco
shows a trifing gain, and business in
wood and manufactures thereof has Just
about held its own. Agricultural imple-
ments show a small decline.
Export statistics do not exhibit any
serious loss to either producers or wage
nj This cannot be said of the i'm
port statistics. About one-half Of the
$240, 900 900 shrinkage in that account is
due to decreased importation Of raw
materials. About 80 per cent. of it is
represented by decreased purchases of
raw materials and merchandise entering
directly into our industrial processes.
The significance of this circumstance re-
quires no exposition.

Gus world. The rivalry between the
Sells-Floto and the Barnum & Bailey
and the Ringing Bros, the other
great shows, is keen, and it so hap
pens that in this state the circus
Judge Weber represents has been
routed so as to play many of the
large cities one or more days ahead
of the enemy
The first cut in the price of aa-
mission will be made when the Sells
FlOto circus enters Texas GA Oct. 8,
and will continue during the two
weeks that 1t Is in the state. AS to
remainder of the tour is problemat-
ical, depending upon the success of
the warfare.
The experiment of cutting the ad-
mission fee of a big circus to 20
cents will be watched with interest
all over the country, 1t is believed
that the other circuses will be fore
ed to meet the price made by the
Floto interests in Texas, de-
spite the fact that it would establish
precedent that probably would
cause reduction in other states.
Judge Weber declared that the
standard of the circus would not be
lowered by reason of the reduction;
in fact, the performance IS better
than it has ever been.
The high license in Texas Is re-
sponsible to some extent for the re-
duction, the tax being almost prohi-
bitive, according to Judge Weber.

SYNOPSIS.

Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
Terhune are introduced at the opening of
the story, in England, the latter relating
the tale. The pair on an outing miss
their train and seeking recreation meet
''the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff." Her
hand is much sought after, because of
her wealth. On visiting the Wyckhoff
castle they are introduced to two other
girls, both known as Agatha Wyckhoff.
AT dinner three other Agatha Wyckhoffs
are introduced and the plot revealed.
The deceased step-father, in an eccentric
moment, made his will so that the real
Agatha, heiress to his fortune and the
castle at Wye, England, might wed her
affinity. Thus Mrs. Armistead, chaperon,
was in duty bound to keep the real
Agatha's identity unknown and suitors
were invited to tryout for the hand of the
heiress.
