IMPORTS SMALL
UNDER LOW TARIFF
FOREIGN FACTORIES SHIPMENTS
ARE INCREASED BY ONLY
e.8 PER CENT.

Washington, July 10.-Foreign man.
ufacturers sent into the United States
the first eight months of the new tariff
system just S.S per cent more of their
finished products than they did under
the old. Secretary Redfield pointed
to this as ample demonstration that
there was no ground for fears that
American factory owners would be
driven from business by the Demo
cratic tariff.
Importation of foodstuffs showed a
large increase, while foodstuff exports
fell off. There was a relatively small
reduction in the amount of completed
manufactures exported
The figures" said Secretary Red.
field. show the results of the world
wide depression in commerce as modi-
fed by our own shortage of foodstLffs
arising from the inadequate crops of
last year, which condition rapidly is
passing away.
"They indicate also that our COM
peting power in manufacturing is well
sustained, because at a time when our
commercial rivals are eager to sell
and unwilling to buy the item of ex-
ports of fully finished manufactures is
depressed relatively little and the item
of imports of finished manufactures
increases relatively little"
The total increase of importations
of foodstuffs, the departments figures
showed was $56,75O,43 while the total
increase in importations for the period
was only $55,136,6S5.
In the line of finished manufactures,
Mr.. Redfield said, the United States is
maintaining its foreign business well,
"The decrease of exports of food
stuffs," the secretary added, amounts
in the eight months to $97,573.55S, a
fact sufficiently explained by our not
having the foodstuffs to sell. The
present large promise of fine crops al
ready has begun to alter this situation.
A further decrease appears in manu-
factures for further use in manufac-
turing of s3O,66S,377, rejecting the de-
pressed condition of industries in for
eign countries"
Out of the total decrease in exports
for eight months of $145,7O3, $40 more
than $12S,0O0,000 was in foodstuffs
and manufactures for further use in
manufacturing.
Total imports for the eight months
were $1,2SS, ,656,O41, compared with ST..
233,S19,S65 for the same period last
year. Free merchandise for the two
periods was, respectively $500, 0,214,03S
and $6SS,O15,445. Total exports were
1,640, ,S65,S05, against IS1,7S6, ,070,9 ,945.
Imports for May, 1914, amounted to
$164, ,209,515, compared with s133,723,.
713 a year ago. Exports were $751;.

SANITATION Of
GORDON'S CREEK
IS NOW ASSURED
COMMISSIONERS AND NEWMAN
LUMBER co. AGREE ON DE.
N TAILS OF PLAN.
Two IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
AT Yesterdays Conference
Strip of Land 100 Feet Wide From
Creek to River viii Be Decided To
City-Cost to City Will Be Much Less
Than $500 as Originally Estimated.

The Gordon Creek outlet was assur-
ed by meeting held yesterday after
noon between the City Commissioners
and several of the officers of the New
man Lumber Company.
There were two important develop
ments. First strip of land 100 feet
>wide from the bend in the creek to the
.iver, a distance of several hundred
Yards will be decided to the city for the
5canal; second the cost of the canal.
will be much less than $500, as origin
ally estimated. The final settlement
has been reached between all parties
concerned, the papers will be signed
tomorrow and the deed transferred
The cost of digging the canal was
originally placed at $500 because it
was thought that it would be necessary
to dig it to it's ultimate depth and
width at once and protect the sides
with pilng and boards. The first esti-
mate took all these things into consid-
Grafton. At the meeting yesterday,
however, it was agreed that if it be-
comes necessary to protect the canal
from caving, the Newman Company
will have to drive the piling and place
the planking so as to stop the caving.
Commissioner Caperton, who has di-
rect supervision over the city's santa
ton. suggested that it would not be
necessary to dig the canal deep at
first: that it would only be necessary
to open it up, and that the first rain
would dig it out and give the sides the
proper slope. A narrow ditch will be
fdug from the river to the creek, and
it is expected the water will dig its
own channel.
The Newman representatives asked
for time in which to build a new dam
which will prevent their log pond being
drained when the canal is opened. This
work will begin shortly and will be
rushed toward completion as fast as
possible. When the Newman pond is
protected the city will begin the work
on the canal as soon as they are told
by the health officer that the opening
of the canal will not be menace tc
the public health.
When the canal is opened there VII
be a free and unimpeded flow of the
water from the creek and sufficient
fall from the city to the river that
there will be no occasion for stagnan'
pools to breed mosquitoes and filth.

NOW HE CAN SERLE
GOD AND UNCLE SAM
Postoffice Job No Worse Than Clean

Washington, July 10.-The Rev. AL
bert E. Mooty of Georgia, the negro
preacher who surprised Chief Clerk
Chance of the Postoffice Department
