OUR BOOMING EXPORT TRADE

The chroniclng of facts marking our foreign trade revival threatens to become monotous. Every week brings its story of reopened markets and recordbrea ing shipments
 The export figures the last few days in the port of New York established high water mark The last four weeks for which complete report has been given show that there were exported from New York nearly s12OOO0Oo more of goods than during the same period last year. The federal treasury department reports that the total shipments of food products from all American ports in September was nearly three times great as in September of last year making gain of $2SOooOOO Exports of all sorts are now running S5OoOOoo a day and the department estimates that the total for Oc ober will be about sl7OOOOOoO That rate if maintained without increase, would mean yearly total greater than any ever attained up to 1911
 This showing is the remarkable when we con slider that Germany which next to Great Britain has been our best customer been absolutely cut off from cur trade With Ambassador cerard's assurance tha Gormsny and Austria will take at least 75ooo bale of cotton a month and with the gradual opening of h' German market to other noncontraband commodities our position will improve still more rapidly
