Customs Report

The annual report of the Collector of Customs, for the District of Alaska, for the calendar year 1911, is at hand, and we publish the following excerpts, which will be of interest to our readers:
 "The imports and exports of Alaska, when taken together, show prosper ous business condition tending toward 8 steady increase and balance of trade gradually augmenting in favor of the District. This balance has been increasing for several years until now the emports have more than doubled the imports.
 "The imports for the year 1911 amounted to a total of S19,208,540; and the exports for the same period, S3S,- 546,267. The tables show a decrease in shipments of precious metals, whale bone and some other items, but the in- crease in copper ore and fish more than covers the loss and raises the value of exports to the highest point in the his tory of the District. The increase in fur shipments over last year is due to the inclusion of the product of the Pribilof islands. The value of domes. tic merchandise, and gold and silver shipped from Alaska to the United States during the year 1911, was as fol lows:

Douglas Island news., 1912-01-31


 A considerable falling off in ship ments from the United States is noted this year, which is accounted for in the changed business conditions and smaller demand for supplies, occasion ed by the lack of development in the Southern and Boring sea divisions. Southeastern and Central Alaska have more than held their own, but the in- crease is insufficient to overcome the losses elsewhere in the District.
 The value of merchandise shipped from the United States to the different divisions of Alaska was as follows:

NEW YORK, February IA more
cheerful appearance was presented by the
stock market today. and there was no
trace of the heaviness which character
lied yesterdays trading. Prices were
higher during most of the half days
trading, but the changes were as unimpor-
tant as on other days recently. There
was not enough business today to pre-
serve an appearance of life. Less than
$4,000 shares were dealt in, as compared
with nearly $4,000 shares last Satur-
day.
The firm tone of the market was at
tributed largely to covering by shorts
who desired to even up commitments on
the week. Stocks were not in abundant
supply, and prices were advanced on
moderate buying The only stocks to
move at all widely were few of the less
conspicuous issues. Canadian Pacific and
Norfolk and Western rose a point and
American Cotton Oil Ia.
Foreign exchange rates advanced today
and some further European borrowing
was reported. The $4,000. 600 Of one-year
Lake Shore notes falling due in Paris
early next month, were renewed for
another year. 1t was announced, 5000
in London. Arrangements were made to
ship S7JO,OOO gold to South America
early next week.
Comparison of the tables in the bank
statement showed that marked changes
occurred at the end of the week. While
the average tables disclosed a loss in
cash of about 5000 600, the statement of
actual conditions Friday night revealed
cash loss of only $2,5OO,OO0 The aver

Attitude Toward Morse.
Something of a advertisement has ap-
peared incident to the sailing OF
Charles w. Morse for Europe. 1t IL
proclaimed that old antagonists were
prepared to demolish him II he pre-
sumed to re-enter Wall street, that he
would be under a boycott, in equal
parts moral and financial. This Is
crude fiction. Mr.. Morse returning from
them more seriously accused. not one
of them denied a new chance in the
stock exchange district. Take Charles
w. Yerkes for disqualification. He came
out of jail broken in health, broken
in fortune Yet in the financial world
he soon achieved fortune beyond what
earlier he had ever dreamed. He be-
came the associate Of flnanciers in Chi
cago and in New York ranking among
the strongest.
Financial boycotts are the veriest myths.
Mr.. Morse will find the field free-he
must just make good on his deposits. But

place. It does not relate to the bank

old one who has stumbled. There integ-
rity is the vital qualifications good
name essential beyond any riches. Yerkes
on his return didn't go in for banking;
Mr.. Morse is scarcely likely to. If he
does, then he will be not challenging but
counting embarrassment-for regardless
of the cynicisms Of absentee censors the
banks of New York are in the hands and
under the direction of men as high mind
ed and clean handed as any that the
worlds business can know-men Of the
type of Alexander Gilbert, president of
the Market and Fulton National Bank,
who, as the executive head of the New
York Clearing House Association, was at
the front when the Morse issues original
ly were drawn, when 1t required bravery
of stout sort to be independent and unin-
fuenceable. 1t was Mr.. Gilbert who in
sisted, THE law Is at stake, our own
banking good faith is at stake. There
can be no parleying with either careless
our duty"
And this is the total of it all, so far
rs New York's foremost bankers have
any attitude toward Morse. None is go
ing to make him a target or in any way
handicap his efforts to come back. But
Mr.. Morse has no thought Of being a
banker again. The fictionists should not
overworry.
There is an extended short interest
throughout the market-representing
stocks sold by people who don't own them
and which they have borrowed to deliver.
and which eventually they will have to
buy back. This is potent element OF
support to quotations, for whenever there
is any show of weakness the shorts be-

The net result of the weeks trading in
the cotton market was a decline of q to
81 points on futures. The high prices
were made Wednesday and the low prices
Friday. At the highest the trading
weeks close; at the lowest they were 81
to So points under.
Bears were aggressive this week. Cou-
pied with this aggressiveness was more
or less liquidation of the long interest.
The long rise received its first real set
back. and at times the bulls were de-
cidedly on the defensive.
Rumors of a split in the bull ranks,
fears Of; a general coal strike IN Eng
land, the attempts Of trailing longs to

main influences that worked against the
market.
