report Of the bureau just issued states:
international trade, as is we'll known,
fell off in the period following the financial

the import and export figures OF nearly all
countries were smaller in 1908 than in the
Immediately preceding year. The increase
shown by the figures of the current year
Is therefore In most cases more distinctly
return to normal conditions than al
actual advance over those which existed
prior to the financial depression of l907-s
'1n many cases. however. the figures OF
the current year are materially larger thar
ever before and It is probable the tota
OF international trade in the calendar year
1910 Will surpass that OF any other former

HOW BUTTONS CAME TO BE
Necessity in Action Centuries Ago
Growth of the Industry in
the United States.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to the
baton and buttonhole, two inventions
which may fairly be regarded as impor-
tant since they did much to revolutionize
dress The original button was wholly q
product of needlework. which was soon i'm
proved by the use Of a wooden mould. The
brass button is said to have been intro
duced by a Birmingham merchant in 1882
1t took 200 years to improve on the method
of sewing the cloth upon the covered but
ton. Then an ingenious Dane hit upon the
idea of making the button in two parts
and clamping them together with the
Goth between.
The most important branch of the button
industry in the United States is the max
ing of pearl buttons, the material for
which is obtained from shells gathered
along the Mississippi river. The industry
has grown up within the last fifteen years
or so. Its Introduction was due entirely tc
native OF Germany, who learned the
" ade abroad. He saw that millions of dol.
lars were going to waste In the shelli
known as "nisgerheads," of which tons
were piled up on the banks OF the river
Thousands OF people are now employed II
turning these shells into buttons, the small
manufactures being found all the way
from Minnesota to the gulf-Harper's
