LYRIC

Next Monday night Bridgeport the Atregoers will have their first oppor- tunfty of witnessing that much-talked about drama, '~The Hour of Tempta- ton" at the Lyric theatre with FL eanor Mnntell in a role that brings out an Ter latent ability as an emo- ticnal actress, and fits her better than any former part she has yet attempts ed. The play was written by Lee Nor rison, whose writing of the dramatic version of .'Three Weeks" put him in The front ranks with American play NIzghts.
 There has been an exceptionally heavy demand for seats at the Lyric for this production, which shows that Bridgeport has heard the excellent re- ports that have come from New York city regarding '~rhe Hour of Tempta- ton" and it looks as if the business at this theatre will treble itself next week when everybody hears that a play of unusual merit, with a splendid cast of players, Is with us :.
 ! Notwithstanding the street car strike in the Bronx, where the attraction is now playing, they are turning away people every night, the theatre crowd ed to standing capacity.

OUR BEST CUSTOMER.

In 1913, the first calendar year pre-
 ceding the outbreak of the European
 war, AS per cent. of the exports from the United States were destined for British territory-that is, the United
 Kingdom and the colonies and de- pndencies under British jurisdiction
 and 32 per cent. of the imports were from the domains of that nation. Ger
 man dominions ranked second in both
 respects and French third. Of the
 many changes brought about in the international trade of the United
 States since the middle of 1914 the most striking have been the practical
 elimination for the time being, of trading with Germany, and the greater importance of British territory both as a source of imports into the United
 States and as market for American exports, says a bulletin of the Phila- delphia commercial museum.
 A special compilation of the distri- button of American commerce by na- tional domains, recently made by the department of commerce shows that
 imports from the United Kingdom and it's colonies increased from $572,-
 000,000 in 1913 to s624,000,000 in 1915, while exports thereto rose from s1,120, 900, 900 to $1, 6S7, 100000. Other sections of the world as a rule show
 decreased imports in the last two years, but gains in exports have been widely distributed. To French terri tory American exports increased from
 $16o,oOQ,Ooo to s5o7, 100000. and then formed fl per cent. of the total in 1915, as against 6 # per cent. in 1913. There were also large gains in ex- ports to nearly all European countries except Germany, Belgium and Aust ria-Hungary. Exports to Germany fell from $352, 2,00O.O0 in 1913 to $12,- 00O,000 last year and those to Bel gium from $64,O00,000 to s23,0O0, GOO.
 In those cases where foreign na- tions have colonial possessions Ameri- can trade is largely with the home country, except that the United States has a vast commerce with British col onies and buys considerable raw ma terial from the Dutch East Indies. Thus, this country bought from Dan- ish colonies about $600.000 worth of merchandise in 1915, and sold a like sum. Imports from British colonies were $366,000,000 and exports there to, s495, 5,OO0,0OO. French colonies sold to the United States $2,400,000 and bought s7,0OO,000. German colonies show imports into the United States of $20O,OO0 and exports from the United States of $10O,O00. In the case of the Portuguese colonies American imports were $1,70O.0o0 and exports $3,200,000.
 In the calendar year 1915 American trade with British territory ran over 2,310 million dollars, and the indica- tions are that even this huge figure will be exceeded during the current year. This volume of trade is ab- normal and there is certain to be a decline when the demand for mater ials more or less intimately connected with the conduct of the war ceases. Making the maximum allowance for this anticipated drop, however, Brit ish territory will continue to be the largest market for the products of American facatories and farms, as it has been since the United | States came into it's national exist | ence. |

OPEN SEASON FOR
 GAME BEGINS SOON

The open hunting season for game birds in this state will commence Oct. 3. and Town Clerk Joseph Schultz is issuing number of new licenses to hunters each day. The indications are that there will be just as many hunt CTS in quest of game birds this year as in other years. although the num- Der of birds is decreasing yearly. The state law sets the cost of the licenses at $1.25 each to citizens of this state; $1o.25 to nonresident citizens of other states, and S15.25 to hunters who are not citizens of this country.
