Exports of manufactures from the
United States in the year which ends
with next month will, for the frs
time. exceed 500 million dollars In
value. The September export fig
ures. Just completed by the bureau Of
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, seem to fully JUST
! fy the prediction that the years ex
ports of manufactures will cross the
SOO-milion dollar line and surpass
those of any earlier year. For the
single month of September the ex
ports of manufactures aggregated 70
million dollars and for the nine
months ending with September, 61S
million. an average of 6S million dol
lars per month for that portion OF
the year for which figures are now
available. Should this average be
maintained during the remainder OF
the year-an expectation which
seems quite justified-the total value
of exports of manufactures in the
IL months ending with December
will be over 500 million dollars. The
figures thus far show a large gain
over those of last year in both class
es of manufactures. The group,
manufactures ready for consump-
ton" shows for the nine months OF
the present year a total expectation
of 4O2 million dollars, against BAT
million in the corresponding months
of 1909; and the group, "manufac-
lures for further use in manufacture
ing" 211 million, against 1877 million
in the same months of last year. For
the single month of September man
ufactures ready for consumption
show a total expectation of A mill
ion dollars, against SO million in
September last year, and manufoc-
lures for further use in manufacture
ing, 25 million, against 90 million in
the same month of last year.
Manufactures are the only import
ant class of exports which show a
material gain in 1910, compared with
1909. Exports of foodstuffs in a
crude condition in the nine months
ending with September, 1910, show a
total of but so million dollars,
against Is million in the same
months of last year; and foodstuffs,
partly or wholly manufactured, $50
million, against 205 million in the
same months of last year; and while
crude material for use in manufac-
turing shows a slight gain, having
been 334 million dollars in the nine
months ending with September,
against 1922 million in the same
months of last year, the growth is
by no means as large as that in ex-
ports of manufactures.
On the import side, both manufac.
turers' materials and finished man
ufactures show marked gains for the
nine months period, but a decline Of
about million in crude material in
September. 1910, compared with
1909 Crude materials for
use in manufacturing show total
of Al million dollars in the 9 months
ending with September, 1910, against
379 million in the same months of
last year; manufactures for further
use in manufacturing, PA million
dollars, against 1872 million in the
same months of last year, and manu-
features ready for consumption, 277
million in the me months ending
with September. 1910, against 24S
million in the same months of last
year.

Sorry He Spoke.

There Is certain West philadelphia
bachelor who is very fond OF childrap
Recently when he was riding on a
Chestnut street trolley car a woman
Sat opposite him with baby in her
arms Suddenly the baby began TO
cry. Every one in the car seemed TO
be annoyed and a general scowl went
around-that is, every one except the
bachelor. He tried to show by the
benign expression of his face that the
crying OF the baby was sweet music to
him. He smiled at the youngster. but
the noise only grew louder. Finally
he leaned across the car.
Perhaps there's Il pin sticking him."
he said in stage whisper and after
the manner OF one who understands
all the complexities and troubles of
baby life. There was profound ST.
lence I'm the car until the mother an
swered
mo, there's no pin sticking him"
she said at last in tone of scorn and
with much emphasis on the last word.
Then she continued. Hes scared he

After that the bachelor lapscd into
pensiveness.-Phlladelphla Times.
