LARGER EXPORTS
| THAN EVER BEFORE
1918 EXCEEDED BEST EFFORTS
OF THE PRECEDING
YEARS.
FOREIGN COMMERCE GROWS
1913 Imports Snow Decrease, Duo to
Big Reductions in the Cost Of
Certain Articles.
Washington

+ Washington.-The foreign COM
fRrse of the United States in the
ESkfendar year 1913 approXimated one
and three-quarter billion dollars of
imports and two and half billion
of exports. The imports Of the eleven
months ended with November were
S1,609, 900, 900; should the December
imports equal those of November the
total for the full year would be ST.
56,000,000. The exports of the eleven
months ended with November were
$2,251, 100000; should the December
exports equal those of November the
total would be- 2,497, 100000. This
estimate would make the excess of
exports over imports approximately
$74O. 900, 900. l
The figures of exports and Of excess
Of exports over imports will exceed
those of any earlier year. The largest
expect in any preceding calendar year
was that of 1912, which showed to-
tai of $2.399. .217 1893; and as the eleven
months ended with Nc~ember are
$102, 100000 iu- excess of the CORE
spending period of the preceding year
the estimate Of approximately two
and half billion for 1913 seems to
be justified. The excess or exports
over imports in the eleven months
ended with November was $642 ,000,-
000 and for the single months of
November S97,000,0OO. thus apparently
justifying the estimate of $740,000,-
600 excess of exports for the full
year.
In imports the total for 1913 will
be less than that OF 1912, but larger
than that of any year preceding 1912.
This decline in imports in 1913 is due
, in part to reduction in. prices of GER
tain articles imported. While the
quantity of sugar imported in the ten
months ended with October exceeded
that OF the corresponding period of
1912 by 36S,O00,OOO pounds, the value
of this larger quantity imported dur
ing the 1913 period was S22,000,00
less than that of the corresponding
period of 1912.

will the rates be reduced materially,
but the companies will comply with

TRAGEDY OF SILENT WOODS
Nimrod, Leg Broken Among Rocks of
Lonely Mountain. Finally Dies
From Exhaustion.

Middletown, n. Y-A tragedy OF the
great. silent woods has been discov-
cred in the Shawangunk mountains
There was brought to town few daya
ago the body Of the victim an uniden-
tilted man. believed to have perished
by starvation after having been in
jured by fall among the rocks OF the
forest.
Discovery OF the tragedy was made
by John Diverlein. of TIllenville willis
on n shooting trip. Diverlein, while
tramping through the woods. saw the.
body of the man crumpled up in a
ledge of rocks at the base OF high
cliff. II took half an hours arduous
work to reach it. The hunter found
that one of the legs OF the dead man,
had been broken and there also was
severe cut on the head
Broken twigs and occasional signs
of blood showed oiverlein that the vic
tim. after the accident, had attempted
! TO drag himself to a camp or to some
place where he could attract aid But
the injuries overcame him. ard when
he revived 1t was only to face slow
death by starvation.
Ihe wounds were not sufficient to,
have caused death. and 1t is believed
that lack of food and water, rather than:
OF medical attention.. killed. the,
man. The body, was greatly emacist-
ed. and several days. 1t lis believed,
elapsed between the fall and the time
when death mercifully ended his ter
rible sufferinss
The dead mans p1In was found ,,,
n ledge almost quarter Of a>mile from
where his body was found. Indicating
the probable point of the fall IL also
shows the distance the man had
dragged himself over the rough hill
side before ne became toe weak To-
move.
