PACIFIC MAIL. MAKES
MONEY SELLING sHIPS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Gown
ers of Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany stock will receive $7,750,OO0
dividends because of the recent, sale
of these vessels to an eastern cor
poration. It is stated that the South
ern Pacific Railway company holds
10000 shares, the remaining So
200 shares being scattered.
When it was first announced that
Pacific Mail would be sold the sea-
mems law was blamed. Unionists,
however, pointed to the law govern
ing the Panama canal which makes
it illegal for railroad-owned vessels
to enter same. Later developments
have verified the unionists' opinion.

powers have supplied themselves with
ton.
There was also large increase in
the export of the materials for NUM-
tiOns and other supplies for incidental
military use. That for iron and steel
was from $167, 900 to $472.133.OO0,
copper $80,344,OOO to $128,473,OOO, brass
$12, $4,000 to $103,431 900, railway cars
81. 900 to $21,576,OOO. When it
comes to food products. especially
breadstuffs, there is quite a contrast.
| The total for breadstuffs. including
corn, wheat and flour, declined from
$500, 100000 to $366000,0O0 but there
was a moderate increase in meat and
dairy products. A considerable in
crease in the value of leather and
manufactures from it, and of boots
and shoes, must be accounted for in
no small measure by the military de-
mand of war time. The gain in the
former was from $96,979 to $120,073,0Ou
and in the latter from $18,243.000 to
$685. 725,000, or something more than
double.
1t may be interesting to note that
with this large increase in exports
there was an increase in total imports
only from 1874, ,189,749 to $1,722, $685.
115, but the excess of exports over inn
ports from 1851 ,634 ,033 to $1,673,O13,-
992 or almost double. During the
same ten months there was an import
Of $343,953,019 in gold and an export
Of only $70.018,928 while in the corre-
spending ten months a year before
$142. 124,606 in gold was exported to
38090.704 imported. This result of
war conditions affecting our foreign
trade is suggestive of another change
likely to take place when the demand
on that account ceases, as 1t practi-
cally will when the war is over. That
is going to be something that should
be prepared for.

UNBALANCED EXPORTS.

New York Journal of Commerce:
The full statistics Of our foreign
trade for the ten months ending with
April, just received, show notable
change in the character of exports,
compared with the same period ending

firearms and explosives, advanced
from 17.49S,000 to $751;, 900. The
largest item and a good deal more
than half the total increase Of this
class was in explosives, the figures for
the two periods being $21,163,000 and
$3.50, ,113,000. The next largest item is
automobiles, showing an increase from
