ance In the treasury was less than $4,000.
The state has made several large col
lections during the past four days, and in
dications are that other funds VIII be re-
ceived before the end of the week. Up to

First National bank of Talladega, Mr..
Hicks informed the governor just before
the latters departure for New York that
he would take care of the states war

cepted Mr.. Hicks offer, and intimated
before leaving for New York that it might
not be necessary for him to make any
further provision for finances.

PROBABLE EFFECT
ON FOREIGN TRADE
New York Getting Worked Up Over
Governments Proposal to Aban-
don Governors Island as
a Military Post
BY HOLLAND

New York, September 25.-(Special.) }
That there should have come to the
United States in the month of August this
year commodities of money value ST.
100000 less than the value of commodities
imported In August of last year, is easy to
explain. Importers are waiting until the
tariff bill has been signed by President
Wilson. No doubt importations will in
crease greatly for time, the increase
beginning Immediately after the new tarif
Is in effect.
But it is not SO easy to explain the
meaning which is behind the figures that
report the increase In the money value
of American commodities exported in the
month of August this year as compared
with August of last year. In round num-
bers, this increase is $40. 100000 Therefore,
taking the increase of exports and the
decrease Of imports for the month OF Au-
gust, a little under S50000,OO0 in favor
of the United States in the foreign trade
in a single month is reported. 1t is
reasonable to assume that much of this
nSodlties represents American manufac-
tured products. If the detailed statement,
which will come later. shows this to be
true, then there can no longer be any
question about the ability of the man
ufacturers of the United States not only
to maintain, but also to increase, stead
fly their markets to foreign land
The figures for August tend to prove
the accuracy of a prediction made in the
- ~
partment of commerce. He ventured to
predict that in a short time American
manufacturers would be found exporting
manufactured commodities OF the. money
value of $500, 100000 each year.
The export of American manufactured
commodities is to play an influential part
in the record of our entire international
trade in the present calendar year. AL
ready 1t is possible to figure a favorable
trade balance for the United States in the
eight months since January / of $780,
100000. If this favorable trade is main
tanned throughout the entire year ther
the visible or apparent trade balance II
favor of the United States should be ap.
rroximately s56o,O0o,oo0.
Presumably exports of agricultural prod
rcts will be considerably larger in The
last four months of the present year thar
tney were during the spring and summer
months. On the other hand. the increase
in importations which is expected to fol
low the enactment of a new tariff law
may tend to reduce the balance. In any
event. the trade balance in favor of the
United STATES for the current year shoule
be very large.
The Effect of the Tariff
What the effect of the new tariff may
prove to be upon expectation from the
United States is difficult now accurately
