often victims Of irresponsible parties
who prey on this unsuspecting class
in various ways. often swindling them
out of money, for which practice there
is no projection afforded under the

Board OF Trade to bring this matter to
the attention of the State and from
some plan whereby these foreigners
may be protected. II such protection
can be arranged by the state, 1t is
believed 1t will give the foreigner
more confidence in the banking insti-

NINE=YEAR=OLD LAD IN
HOSPITAL THIRD TIME.
Poison Ivy Follows Auto Acci-
dent and Christmas Tree Burns.

Heyman Olsham. 0 a old, of 1856
Spruce street, seems to have the hos
pital habit. In his short areer he has
been in the hospital three times; yes
terday was the third, and Heyman
hopes the last time. Heyman got the
'wanderlust'' Yesterday and decided to
go to the country. Having no loose
change in his pocket he broke open his
savings bank. and with the contents,
twenty-five cents, boarded a a bound
for Maplewood. While roaming around
IN the country he got mixed up with
some poison ivy and had to go to the
City Hospital for treatment.
About six months the little fell
lows right foot and left leg were hurt
by an automobile and he spent a few
weeks in the hospital, but even before
that, way back In Christmas '08, the
lad was so badly burned by a Christ
mas tree candle that 1t was six months
before the authorities in Beth Israel
Hospital let him go home.

IMPORTS NEVER SO
LARGE AS IN YEAR
THAT JUST ENDED
Excess of Exports Over Goods
Received Is Smallest
Since 1896.

WASHINGTON, july 15.-Tne ror-
eign commerce of the United States In
the fiscal year ending June 80 amounted
to s., 1850, OOO. 900, speaking in very gem
eral terms, of which imports were
valued at 81, 500, OOO, 900 and exports at
81, $50, 900, 600. To be more accurate, the
figures just completed by the bureau OF
statistics of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor show: Imports, ST.
$751; 54, S54; exports, 81, 744,96 ,20S; excess
of exports over imports, s1S7,111@s. The
imports were larger han in any pre-
ceding year and the exports larger than
in any former years except 1907 and
1908. The grand total of foreign oonn-
merce, including in this term all mer~
chandise imported and exported except
that included in the trade with the
non-contiguous territories of the uni-
ted States porto Rico. Hawaii. Guam
Tutuila and Alaska), amounted to $8.-
500, S21, 057 and is greater than that OF
any preceding year, except 1907. when
the total was SO, 315, 273,503.
The excess of exports over imports
in the fiscal year 1910 is smaller tina In
any other year since 1896, being $751;
III. 349. against 1851, 090, $50 in the fiscal
year 1909. SG66, 4S1, 554 in 1908. SAG. 429 ,65s
in 1907, s517 1902, 054 in 1905 and s4ol 04S595
in 1905. This marked reduction In the
excess of exports over imports is due to
a falling off in the expectation of food
stuffs and an increase in the importa-
ton Of manufacturers materials. The
value Of foodstuffs exported in the
eleven months for which detailed hg-
ures are available, was $S46, 600, 900,
against s413. 900. 900 in the corresponding
months of the preceding year and $780,
600. 900 in the corresponding months Of
1908. On the import side manufactur-
ers' materials show an equally strik-
ing increase, their value in the eleven
months ending with May Of the present
year being s793, 100000. against 0S,00O,-
600 in the corresponding months of 1909,
and s517, 900, 900 in the corresponding
months of 1908. Thus exports of food
stuffs show a decline of 80 per cent.
when compared with 1908, while imports
of manufacturers materials show an
advance of more than so per cent. in
the same time.
The increase in imports Of manufac-
turers' materials during the yea CO.
CURED chiefly in ten great classes:
Hides and skins, india rubber, lumber,
wood pulp. tin. cotton, iron ore, dia-
monds, wool and chemicals.
The net increase of $50, Co., 600 in K
ports during the year represents gains
in manufactures and manufacturers
materials, partially offset by losses In
foodstuffs.
