LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP


An interesting feature Of the state
ment OF the foreign trade Of the
United States for the month Of Feb
ruary. just issued by the Department
Ct Commerce and Labor, is the gratifying
increase IN the imports Of merchandise,
great part Of which is dutiable, and
from which an increase OF revenue is de-
rived by the government. The amount
of such imports for the month was as
1865. as against So. 752.s51 for the same
month IN 1905, an increase for the month
OF S53.s6..s75.
Another feature OF the report is that
the volume OF exports into the country
is now almost back 10 normal This Is
shown by a comparison Of the imports for
the eight months OF the fiscal year ended
in February, 1905 and 1903. respectively.
For the 1905 period the total imports were
SS41, 640,S 12, and for the 1903 period. $16,-
Ss2. $50
In the matter Of exports the increase
for the month OF February this year is
81. TS3. 2sS, and for the eight-mOnths pc

New York, March 25.-Aithough the

was nevertheless 10 advance. a fact which
was the more notable inasmuch as. ac-

But the truth is that the news bearing

evident that speculators for the fan are
getting more or less tired OF operating

every day more clear that liquidation is

Not all the developments Of the day

was regarded by political observers
abroad as an encouraging symptom. But
whatever the cause, none OF the European
markets to-day acted in a way suggest
ing that an unfortunate outcome of the
difficulty was feared.
Miners Action Expected.
There have been indications for some
time that the mine workers in the anthra-
cite district proposed 70 back down from
the position assumed by them in the de-
mands made upon their employers, and
such retirement was in substance an
nounced IN the formal action taken at
the convention Of the employees last night.
IT remains TO be seen whether the en-

called The Laurentian highlands These
hills are really mountains that are al

In the days when there was nothing

next In order. Later the Rockies
started up. The United States grew
