He handed De Lancey the familiar

story.

my mistake. When Aragon saw the

Washington. - Gold shipments to
Europe are practically at an end for

Roberts. director of the mint.
Recently. Roberts said the excellent
grain crop in this country, coupled
with the bad crop conditions in Eu-
rope. would soon swing the balance OF
rade back toward the United States
and check the outward movement of
gold.
This prediction was realized and the
exchange rate had fallen to a point
where the further expectation of gold
would be Improbable, and it seems
unlikely that Paris viii make further
nroads upon the United States sup

July and August promise to be rec
ord months for wheat expectations. st.
Louis. Kansas City and Chicago have
reported great sales of wheat to be
exported. Engagements for September

els OF winter wheat will be exported

HOME TRADE is $4,000, 100000.
Secretary Redfield Plans Stimulation
of Export Trade.

Washington. - Although a world
leader in the interchange of products
among its own people, the United
States foreign trade is far short OF its
immediate possibilities. Such is the
conclusion of officials of the Depart
ment of Commerce after study of the
statistical abstract of the United
States for 1913. American home trade
at present is estimated at about $40,-
900 900 900, which is equal to the inter
national exchanges of the world and
approximately ten times the value of its
own foreign trade, now valued at s4,-
0OO, 100000.
The abstract. shows that the present
American export trade of s2.500 000,-
600 represents about S25 per capita.

Argentina, it says, would raise Amerf-
can export power to $4,000, 100000 and
one equal to that of Belgium would
bring its exports to S100O0,0 900 GOO a
year, while its aggregate of foreign
trade, when upon per capita basis as
large as Canada's. would be consider
ably over 3,Oo0.Oo0,0oo.
The United States commercial pow
er and its strong international poxer
is further emphasized in the a,Htract.
1t shows that the United StateS with
25S.000 miles of railway, possesses
one-third of the worlds total. 1t leads
in the mileage of its telegraph lines,
performs more than one-third OF the
worlds mail service on its own routes,
while it's public debt of $1,000, 900, 900
is less than that OF Italy, Austria Hun
gary, Spain, Germany, Australia,
Japan, Great Britain and is less than

fourth that of Russia.
In the period since 1870 farm prod
ucts rose in value from $4,000. .0OO, 900,

From the times of David and Jona-
than down to the present day the
world has been full of young men
sworn to friendship and seeking ad-

them in the west, and though the word
