SLIPPING BACK A
LITTLE, IS THE NEW
TIDE OF PROSPERITY

NEW YORK. April 16.=Anything
of interest in the financial world to-
day was found outside the stock
market. That was like stagnant
pool, the slight STRINGS on the sur
face of which We're easily negligible.
Some of the days developments were
not unimportant, but they had no re-
Election in the stock market The
statement of the country's foreign
trade for March made remarkable
showing. The point most discussed
was the falling off in value of ex-
ports as compared with March of
last year. the decline of upwards of
$12, 100000 in the agricultural ex-
ports being expanded in the total
exports to over 90 million dollars
Falling off in cotton exports accounts
for more than s1S,000,000 of this
decrease and the comparison is with
a month of extraordinary cotton ex-
ports
The March exports, in fact. do not
compare badly with any March pre-
vious to last year for several years.
Significance attaches nevertheless
to the fact that exports have fallen
below those of last year for the first
time since last October, when the
financial crisis forced the marketing
abroad of our commodities. OF the
$100,000,000 of gold which came in
at that time there has been, until the
engagement of million dollars to-
day for export no reflex abroad. The
decline in merchandise exports of
100000 for March compares, in
fact, with shrinkage in imports in
the same comparison of nearly $44,-
900, 900. Here is much more signiii-
cant evidence of the effects of COM
mercial depression than in the ex-
port items. 1t helps to explain the
lack of cheerfulness in markets
abroad as well as here, and also the
languid interest in the international
gold movement.
Interior banks continue to ship
currency to New York on very large
scale. bank notes figuring largely in
these shipments. Owing largely to
the redemptions of the sub-treasury,
the banks have gained from that in
stitution In the present week S4,-
$4,000.
Several large dividend disburse-
ments were made today, and the pie
thoric condition of the money mar
ket was rather increased. Much dis
appointment was felt over the report
of another increase in the number
of idle freight cars made by the COM
mittee On car efficiency of the Amer
lean Railway association. Compared
with March Is. the date of the pre-
vious report, idle freight cars had in
creased on April L, 9,465. Since the
maximum was reached on February
) there have been successive de-
creases in the surplus of cars for
each of the fortnightly periods. The
going out of service of additional
cars in the latest period gives added
credence TO reports of some relapse
in trade activity from the previous
recovery. Weather news from the
section of the winter wheat belt in
which rains are desired is scanned
with attention, but not yet with any
great anxiety.
Another rise in sterling exchange
in this market today and a fall in
the sterling exchange at Paris car
ried conditions across the line of
profit on gold exports. Engagements
have been looked for for several days
past, but foreign money markets
manifested languid interest in the

SUMMONS FOR

Police Take Up the Matter OF
Mondays King Street
Accident.

pepaI summons has been issued Tor
Gus Schuman who ran into MIS-.
Ernst Gfesecke Monday afternoon on
King street. The police have taken the
matter nm and from statements made
bv eyewitnesses to the accident,
complaint has been lodged under the
amended law which makes the furious
or needless driving of an automobile
on the public streets punishable.
schuman has had more than one
accident of late while driving an auto
though no other as serious as that OF
Monday. Mrs, Giesecke has improved
greatly since yesterday and is impfoF-
ing much better than was to be ex-
pected. In speaking of the accident
the injured woman stated yesterday
that she heard the automobile when
the horn was sounded and stepped
well to the side Of the road out Of the
wav of any passing vehicles, as she
supposed.
The police are on the lookout for a
couple of men who in an unnumoered
machine ran into and seriously injur-
ed the horse Of Miss Mabel Pniilips
on Friday afternoon last on the W al
kiki road. As in the case Of the iadle9
who were with the Schuman parry

TOURING PARTY
OMIT THE RIDE
Stay on Steamer Instead OF
Hiking Overland on
Maui Trip.

Secretary Mott-Smith received a
message yesterday from a. L. c. At
kinson that implies that Secretary
Garfield and party have cut the Hama
end of their Maui trip out of their
itinerary and sailed direct from Ma
poopoo to Kahului. The message was
received here at three o'clock yester-
dav afternoon and was dated at Olin-
da, stating that the party had arrived
at the pretty Baldwin mountain home
and that all were well.
To have arrived at Olinda by that
time would make impossible the over
land trip from Hama contemplated and
the suggestion made at the Secretary's
office is that the sailing from the Ha-
wall port was so late and the party
Inrobablv so tired that it was resolved
70 make straight for the Maui princl-
pal port and omit the side features.
! Unless it was raining, the party Will

Ibrink of the Haleakala crater, although

questions of controversy which have

Washington, June 4.-The fact that
Chairman Payne of the house commit
tee on ways and means, which is to in
quire into the subject of tariff revis-
ion, does not intend to call his COM
mittee together during the recess OF
congress, is attributed to a desire not
to encourage tariff revisionists.
The administration program now, 1t
is asserted, is that Secretary Taft in
the event of his nomination and cleo
ton shall convene special session OF
the Sixty-f1rst congress Immediately
after his Inauguration to take up the
subject of tariff revision. In the event
that Democrat is elected next fall.
