Export Record Is Broken.

New York-The greatest volume of
exports ever recorded at a single port
in the history of the United States
left New York harbor during October,
mostly for the warning nations of Eu-
rope, according to estimates made by
customs officials here. The total,
based on tabulations that are nearly
complete, will not fall far short Of
SITS, 900, 900, or about $1,000, 900 a
day for every working day of the
month. In September exports from
New York totaled $162, 900, 600.
Three hundred and ninety-three
ships, nearly every one laden with a
capacity cargo, left New York during
October as compared with 365 in Sep
tember. The tabulation shows that
munitions and foodstuffs, mostly grain,
filled the list of articles shipped
abroad, with clothing, shoes, cloth for
uniforms, automobiles and automobile
parts following in close order. The
bulk of the exports went to Great
Britain,

HaIibut, Cranberries and Turkeys In.

Tacoma-Halibut is now to be had
on the local market in any reasonable
quantity, wholesale dealers having re-
ceived shipment Of $4,000 pounds.
This is one of the largest shipments
received here for some time. Although
the fish has been rather scarce at vari-
GUS times during the season, dealers
say they now expect no trouble in OBJ
tanning plenty Of this popular fish.
The prices of 7@7a cents pound are
very reasonable, it is said, for this
time of the season and the quality Of
the fish was never better.
The first shipment of late cranber-
ries arrived on the local produce mark
ct this week. The berries found in
stant favor at $9.50@10.5O a barrel.
A plentiful supply is on hand to meet
the demand and no difficulty will be
experienced in getting enough for the
trade throughout the season, say deal
ers, who praise the quality of those re-
ceived.
Eggs are firmer and may go up
within few days. The surplus has
been exhausted. The trade will not
touch the eggs at a price above al
cents, but when it gets below that
price the demand increases and soon
wipes out the surplus, which is small
because Of the scarcity of the prod
uct.
Turkeys opened wholesale here at 28
cents a pound, the first shipment from
Oregon being received.
These fowl retails at 80 cents
pound. The shipment was small and
brought here just as a ''feeler. ;"
Dealers, however, do not believe
prices will go much lower than those
now quoted.

Failures Fewer Than Year Ago.

Some increase in the country's busi-
ness mortality is not unusual at this
period Of the year, and no special sig
nificance attaches to the rise in the
commercial death rate during October.
Total insolvencies, as reported by R.
G. Dun & Co., numbered 1899, or 1856
more than in the previous month and
the largest since July, while several
defaults of exceptional size helped to
swell the liabilities to $25, 522, $50, as
against SIG, 20s, 070 in September and
an average Of about $4,000, 900 for
the four months prior to that time
When comparison is made with Octo-
Der, 1914, however, the showing is
favorable, not only from a numerical
standpoint, but also in respect to the
aggregate Indebtedness. Then 1886
concerns failed, owing $29, 702, 1877, in
1918 only 1434 suspensions occurred
and the amount involved was $40, 245,-
466, though in that year practically
200 more reverses were reported in
October than in September.

President Wilson Determined to
End TeutOnic Schemes.
AGENTS HIGHER UP SOUGHT BY U. S
Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff Is
Under Suspicion Demand for
Recall Of Nuber Possible.

Washington, D. C.--President Will
son has determined to put an end tt
the activities Of Teutonic agents in the
United States.
By his direction, the department Of
Justice and the Secret Service are co
operating to secure the necessary proof
to punish the men caught in projects
which endanger the peace and safety
Of the country. More important, how
ever, is the Presidents direction that
the search shall be continued for those
"higher up" As soon as he is in
possession of all the facts, Mr.. Wilson
will take steps to stop the pernicioua
activity Of diplomats and consular Off
GERS who are directing the work of de-
stroying munitions factories, ships and
other enterprises.
If the President carries his intention
to its conclusion, and the charges now
on file should be substantiated, it
would surprise no one should this gov
ernment request Austria Hungary to
recall Herr Won Nuber, its consul gen.
eral in New York.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has been under suspicion
for months, but in the absence Of proof
it is clearly impossible to take any
action against him. Should the reve-
lations of DR.. Goricar, recently re-
signed as Austro- Hungarian consul, be
supported by evidence, then whatever
diplomatic consular officer is involved
will 60.
The Austrian and German embassies
deny the truth Of Goricar's allega-
tions, but the Department of Justice
has had the promise of documentary
evidence to substantiate them.
In addition the State department has
received from the British government
