matter, and either amend any lax laws
or, if the law has been violated, SEE
to it that the offenders are promptly
punished. From all accounts in the New
York papers, the method of handling
the explosive was criminally careless
The boxes containing it were placed
upon an inclined plane and permitted
to slide down the same from the pier
to the deck of vessel, a man being
stationed halfway to check, with his
hands, the speed of the boxes and pre-
vent them from arriving with dan
gerousa shock This man, as the noon
hour Struck, left his post In his alb
sence a box landed on the deck with
destructive force.
The necessity for more vigorous regu-
lation of the transportation and handling
of this dangerous material is apparent.
1t is gratifying to know that the Dis
trict authorities assert that the New
York disaster cannot be duplicated here.
At the same time the likelihood OF such
an occurrence ought to be removed by
local laws from the range of possibility.

1t takes fourth rank IN our foreign
trade. Cotton is king, with an aggre-
gate of $53ooooooo; meat and dairy
products, $I3oooo,ooo; copper and min
eral oil, $o4oooooo each; lumber, about
100000; corn, $o8,ooo,ooo; wheat ap-
proximately, $e3,oooooo; leather, $3S-
100000, and tobacco, $36,ooo.ooo. Thus
it will be seen that the business in coal
has increased rapidly over ether lead
ing commodities which we supply to
foreign nations.
About one-third of the &5,ooo,ooo
worth of coal exported was anthracite
some $27,oooooo bituminous, and about
100000 coke. The growth m the ex-
portation of bituminous coal of late has
been more rapid than that of anthracite,
showing that manufacturing industries
are everywhere increasing. Canada,
Mexico, Cuba, and the West Indies are
our largest purchasers.

Our Growing Expectations.

Coal and coke exports from the United
States in 1910, according to statistics
compiled by the experts of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, aggre-
gated S5.ooo,ooo in value, and in addi-
ton thereto more than $4,000 900 worth
was supplied to vessels engaged in the
foreign trade, making a total of $65,-
100000 worth of coal which passed out
of this country last year. In 1900 the
total value of coal and coke exported
aside from that supplied to vessels in
the foreign trade-was about $23,ooo,ooo
twenty years ago only about $7,oooooo
and thirty years ago 100000 The
quantity exported has grown from a
little over 100000 tons in 1886, and about
2,ooo.ooo tons in I8oo. to approximately
100000 tons in 1900 and 100000 tons
