It appears to be the aim Of two
young men to make the name Jack
SON. stick in baseball history. Cleve-
land once had a Jimmy Jackson out
fielder. But he fell down hopelessly
on the Job of making the family fam
Gus by his deeds on the pastiming field.
It was up to other Jacksons to strive
for the honor of the race, and couple
of them are certainly doing it now.
Joe, the present Nap outfielder and
fence buster, was working all alone up
to a couple of weeks ago. Now he has
a WORTH assistant in the person of
George, elias Hickory who has become
the regular left fielder on Fred Ten
ney's tail-end Boston Nationals.
Hickory isn't threatening seriously
to rob Joe of his laurels. But he is
modestly plugging along. nlaying better
ball in left field than anyone else has
done for Mr.. Tenney, and Hitting in a
way that delights the eyes and ears OF
Boston bugs.
George is no relation to Joe as far
as either of them knows. They have
never even met each other. But each
is proud Of the achievements of the
other and watches his daily record
with eager interest.
George lacks Joe's speed and proba-
bly, will not prove as capable bats
man. But he can play the outfield
Utmost as Wei as can the nap anu iAAs
throwing arm is as strong and accu-
rate.
George broke into professional base
ball in the fall Of 1907, as an infelder
on the Lake Charles, La, club, ther
in the Gulf Coast League. He could
hit, but that's about all he could do

With only a few exceptions the indus

NAL prosperity in the year Just closed. Al
though net earnings were not particularly
large. they were sufficient In most cases
TO meet dividend requirements, while gross
earnings reached a volume In many cases
larger than that recorded In 1909. Pig iron
production was larger than ever before re-
ported, approximatng 100000 tons. or
about I.0000o tons in excess OF the high
record of 1907. The production. however.
was heavier than the consumptive demand.
and as a result extensive curtailment in
the output was found necessary In the lat
ter part OF the year. The producers over
estimated the requirements OF the mills.
The steel companies were more prosper

although in the closing months Of the year
there was heavy falling off in the demand
for finished materials. the larger number
of companies ended the twelvemonth period

FOREIGN COMMERCE IN 1910.

WhIlc the Decembtr figures of the coun-
try's foreign commerce are not yet avail
able. il is safe to sry that for the last
wear the total Of exports and imports Of
merchandise makes /" 1stter showing than
ever before reported i'm the history Of the
United states. For eleven months to No
vember 30, imports amounted in value to
s. .425 77O.12S. an increase of 1898, 648 over
the same time in 1909. while the total of
exports was 1855 0,5S5, a gain of $Sl,269,-
654. the value Of both exports and imports
I'm the eleven months amounting 20 $780,
100 7l3 compared with q total for the twelve
months OF 1909 Of 50, 202, ,903, 4S2. Imports and
exports in December, based on preliminary
figures, should amount 10 upward of s3l2,-
100000, making the total for the year ap-
proximately s3.374,76O,15. Imports Of mer-
rhandise in 1910 were heavier than ever be-
fore recorded. showing a gain, as compared
with five years ago, to the value of S3l7.
1887. In the same time exports showed
an increase to the value OF S209,73S,SlO
eleven months.
In certain other respects the year 1910
made new records in our international
trade. March imports of s162 999, ,43j were
unique in the amount of a single months S
incoming traffic. II so far overshadowed
exports as 70 leave a trade deficit of $l9,-
34l.57S. the largest In forty years. There
were five months in all in the year in
which the country had an adverse bal
auce of trade. Balances In favor Of eX-
ports now prevail, but not In such large
volume as in earlier years This years eX
cess December estimated at S65,W4,OOW
should total $27j,22465s.
For the turn of the scale Of the trade
balance in our favor In the last three
months cotton alone has been responsible.
In each Of these months the 'alue OF raw
cotton exported has exceeded the total ex-
cess OF exports over imports, and reversed
the financial position Of the country in In
