The NeD York Times finds another
indication of this general prosperity that
is now said to possess the country in
the character of goods being imported.
1t comments on the subject as follows
Sometimes a fair index as to what
country is doing Is afforded by
what kind and quantity of stuff 1t
Is getting from other countries. IN
this view a certain pertinence at
taches to the figures, which have
just been given out, of exports from
the United Kingdom to the United
states for the year 1915. These total
S21l .0O2.S3l. as compared with $27y.-
227,9SS In 1914 and $751; 50.59S in 1919.
On the face of things, these statls-
tics show a remarkable uniformity
when the difference in conditions in
the three years is considered. But
an analysis shows that there has
been a surprising drop in manufac-
tured goods and corresponding IN
crease in crude materials. such as
wool and rubber, as well as in precI-

Prosperity Recorded
Throughout Country

wr>s:e throughout the concluding
ronths OF last year the American
public generally realized that a mark
Cd Improvement had developed in the
eation's business. the extent of this
Improvement could not be measured
with any degree Of accuracy. Since
ths close of the year. however, sta
tistics have been complied and annual
rsports issued which substaHtiate the
predictions of prosperity.
In its issue Of today the NeD York
Press publishes a summary of the re-
port from the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World. showing the gen.
eral betterment of business in the
past year over the records of the pre-
Nious year. 1t says
Retail sales in the Middle Allan
tic States in six representative
lines of business showed an aver
age increase of 1866 per GEN. in
November. 1915. over November.
1914. This improved condition of
business Is revealed by the second
annual merchandising research re-
port Of the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs OF the World, just re-
ceived here.
Clothing sales in New York city
showed an average gain of 81 per
cent over 1914, and drug store sales
showed an increase of 25 per cent
over 1914.

Some elements in the nations business
circles are prone to harp upon the
present state Of the stock markets ano
find in the period Of apparent hesitancS
an indication Of a general check ir
business. The Nep York World, how
ever, declares that technical causes
alcrlt are responsible for the apathy
and asserts that underlying factors are
strong. 1t says:
While the scenery is probably be-
ing set for a spectacular market in
the copper. the better class of indus
trials and the standard railroad
shares later on. there does not seem
to be any disposition on the part of
the strong interests who from time
to time assume the direction OF
Wall Street movements to encourage
much activity for the present. Tech
nical causes are alone responsible
for their apparent apathy. as under
lying conditions are remarkably
strong. and they are sure to assert
themselves when the time Is ripe.
The January reinvestment movement
has thus far proved to be a disap-
pointment in so far as 1t has not re-
suited in any substantial rise in av-
erage quotations. 1t cannot be said,
however, that there has been an alb
sence Of investment buying. On the
contrary, there has been an enor-
nous absorption of high grade bonds
and dividend paying stocks. The fact
that prices have made no material
response to these purchases Is due
almost wholly to the heavy liquida-
ton Of American securities by Eu-
rope. which has been. and still is,
supplying domestic buyers with gilt
edged stocks and bonds on unusually
attractive terms. Indeed, 1t is as
gratifying as 1t Is .reassuring that the
assimilation Of these enormous Of
ferings has been accomplished with
out any temporary impairment Of
market values in general

Fire Which Followed
First Explosion-The
Officials Statements

New York, July 30.-Proper-
ty loss estimated at S25, 100000
was caused early today by a Sc
ries of terrific explosions of am
munition awaiting shipment to
the Entente Allies and stored on
Black Tom Island, a small strip
of land jutting into New York
bay off Jersey City. The loss of
life was problematical tonight.
1t will not be determined def
nitely until there has been op-
portunity to check up the work
men employed on the island and
on boats moored nearby. Two
are known to be dead and at
least two more are missing.
Scores of persons were injured,
some Of them probably fatally.
