FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The foreign commerce of the United
States I'm January was larger than In any
preceding January and the total for the
seven months of the current fiscal year
was also larger than I'm any previous cor
responding seven months. Imports I'm Jan
uary 1912. were valued at Sl43.5 7,272,
against $l30,j6l .23i In January of last year,
and exports at S202 5S6074, against Sl97, ,0S3 39l

The total imports for the seven months
ending with January were $9l2, ,SS, ,9z9.
against $S94.04l 3s7 IN the corresponding

| On q small volume Of transactions the
stock market yesterday moved irresu-
,ar,v advancing at the opening on
Foirlv active trading and declining lit
tie in the afternoon, when dulness set
+,ed down. although acute weakness de-
veloned AT no time The close showed
MANY more net gains than net losses
few of the changes, however, being
greater than fractional The prihclpa'
gains were made by Amalgamated cop
per. American Tobacco common Amerl-
can Smelling and Refining and Cana
dian Pacific. Fractional advances were
recorded in steel common, Reading
Union Pacific. Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Southern Pacific. The news
Of the day was all Of a bullish SORT
comprising the highly favorable foreign
trade report for January, the progress
made in Washington in arranging for an
inquiry into the money trust which
should not follow the Bryan programme,
and the announcements abroad of bet
tor foeling between Great Britain and
Germany.
People who are bearish on the course
of affairs in the United States should
study the figures of the country's for
eign trade for January and for the seven
months of the fiscal year ended Janu-
arv A. Our foreign commerce in Jan
uary was larger than in any correspond
ing month in the history of the country
while for the seven months OF the fiscal
wear the total Of imports and exports
,,as heavier than ever before recorded
&, a like period. Imports in the last
month were valued at Sl43,o1L2'2,
against $50 SCI ,234 in the same time in
1911, and exports amounted IN Va'ue 10
500, $50 ,OT4, compared with a total OF
S197. .OS3, ,391 I'm Jauary a year ago.
Total imports from July l TO January II
aggregated $913,O0O,0O0. against SS9i'-
600 600 in the corresponding period IN
the preceding year, the inward move
ment of merchandise for the seven
months comparing with exports valued
at 81 .3O7, 90, $50, an increase of S4S,-
7O9, ,332 over 1901. OF the imports In
January, SCI per cent entered free OF
duty. our excess trade balance for the
current fiscal year amounts to more than
1894 OOO. 900, and for the twelve months
ended January 81 TO $61S,4T0,0S2. The
country's position in foreign trade and
the strength Of bank holdings at re-
serve cities supply adequate reason for
optimism over the future movement OF
money and business here. Money rates
were unchanged yesterday and there
was no development in the market that
suggested higher quotations in the course
of the next few weeks, although bank
ers thought the decline in exchange on
New York at interior points and the
growing loss by the banks TO the Sub
Treasury would be effective In bringing
about frmer tendency in the price for
accommodation in the early spring. The
Bank Of England made no change in Its
minimum rate of discount In its
weekly return the British institution
showed proportion of reserve to liabil-
tiles OF J1.24 per cent. which compares
with an average of 1897 per cent for
this time in the last ten years.
