A PLETHORA OF RICHEs

Another statement which was made a few days ago tells of the clogging of commodities at the seaports because there are not enough ovean-going steamships to carry them. It does not seem to be a shortage of cars so much as shortage of steamships. The railroads are with remarkable skill and with energy moving these Commodities From the places where they originate to the seaports. But these cars must be switched upon sidings anG the terminal facilities are now overtaxed since the cars become in a sense ele- vators and storage warehouses in which these commodities are necessarily kept .atii steamships are able to accept them
 It is sometimes said that very likely the record of our foreign trade for October would have been much greater than it

the foreign trade of the United States money value in excess of $5, ,0O0, ,OO0, ,OOO Two features of this estimate have been dis cussed here, one of them being the fact that if the estimate is to be found in January to have been accurately made, we have in the year 1915 equaled, if not sCrpa ssed, the largest foreign trade re- ported by any nation in any one year.
 When the Washington authorities re ported, few years ago. that our foreign proXimately $4,O0o 900, ,0O0 the figures were quoted to show how rapidly we were gaining upon England with respect to for. esgn trade and how well we were holding our own with Germany Nobody dreamed then that in 1915 Washington would be able to report that our foreign trade would be in excess of $5, 0O0, 900. It did, in fact reach that figure. according to the Washington report, when the record of our October trade was made for in the 12 months of which October was the last the figures were $5,o00, ,0O0 GOO in round numbers.
 Another feature contained in this re- port is the fact that much the greater part of the foreign trade was of ex- ports. One of the largest items of our import was gold. the money value of which was trifle more than $350 coo and if our export of gold be set off against this the net import of gold was $S26, ,000, 900.
 Figures of this kind are often spoken of as phenomenal and abnormal. Already the comment is made in the financial dis trict that this one,sided foreign trade, even though the balance be so greatly in our favor, cannot long continue For if it were continued it would exhaust the ability of other countries to pay We must therefore at the earliest moment be- gin to buy of other countries if our ior- eign trade is to remain in healthy con Gition. Occasionally, there are heard In the financial district favorable comments upon the statement made by the com n.issicners of France who are now in the United States, with intent if their inves- tieations are satisfactory, 50 to report to their home government as to make 1t certain that heavy orders for American commodities will come from France These commissioners have not hesitated to say that they hope. even expect. that the United States will take in payment for these commodities large amounts of commodities manufactured in France.
