rHe AVERAGE MANS MISTAKES

An average man at the end Of life
Sat counting his life's mistakes;
And half of them. he said to his wife
Were those that rashness makes
And the other half-here he lifted his
head.
He could scarce believe his vision
Yes; fully the other half, he said
Were caused by INDIGESTION.

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 2-Opening: Stocks
were hesitant at the opening of to-

days heavy closing, but soon devel-
oped flrmer tendency under lead of
the usual speculative favorites. Mexi-
can Petroleum, Distillers and Atlantic
Gulf averaged one point advances and
United States Steel rose a large frac-
ton on it's first offering of 1880
shares. Baldwin Locomotive, Cruel
BILE Steel, American Smelling, Ana
conda, American Telephone and Su-
matra Tobacco also strengthened
substantially, but Lackawanna and
Bethlehem Steels and General Motors
were slightly reactionary.
Trading became more contracted
on the further advance which carried
United States Steel a point over yes
sterday's close and lifted the prom
inent metal issues one to 1 IL points.
Oils also registered additional gains
with Baldwin Locomotive, Republic
Iron and Tobacco Products, but
American Tobacco yielded two points
and Western Union 1 IL. Railroads
were completely neglected, except for
Readings occasional activity at gain

PACIFIC COAST PORTS
GAIN in FOREIGN TRADE

millions In the nine months ending
the nine months ending with March
1918,
These figures Of the gains in the
share which the Pacific ports are
handling Of the foreign trade of the
United States relate entirely to a Pc
Rod preceding hte presence Of the
U-boats on the Atlantic frontage and
are due to another phase of war &C
tivities. Even before their presence
on our Atlantic frontage was suspect
ed the trade of the Orient found the
Trans-Pacific route much safer than
to attempt to run the gauntlet of u
boats in the Mediterranean and the
eastern part of the Atlantic. AS a
result a very large proportion of the
merchandise from China, Japan and
the Philippines, Australia, Dutch East
Indies, Singapore and India, much of
which had formerly been sent to us
by way of the Mediterranean, or
around the southern cape Of Africa,
began to seek passage across the Pa
cific, part of 1t passing through the
Panama Canal to the eastern ports
and a large part landing at the Pa
oific ports and passing thence by rail
to the eastern trade centers of the
| United States. The articles Switched
from their usual trade routes and
these sent across the Pacific included
India rubber from the Dutch East In
dies and the Malayan Peninsula, tin
from the same section, jute from In
dia, hemp from the Philippines, coffee
FROM Java, and tea and silk from Chi
ma and Japan.
AS a result of this change by which
larger proportion of the merchan-
| disc from the Orient came by way OF
the Pacific, the imports of the port OF
San Francisco increased from 70 mil
lions in the nine months ending with
March 1916 to 204 millions in the
same months of 1918, while these
of Seattle increased from 80 millions
in the nine months ending with March
1915 to 244 millions in the nine
months ending with March 1918. Even
these figures do not fully tell the
story of the gain of the Pacific ports
because a portion of the merchandise
entering through these ports passes
in bond to the eastern ports of the
United States and is accredited to then
in the Government figures of imports
by Customs Districts.

Fact Makes Foe Eager to

Communications.

London, July 2.---The F1nnish-Ger-
man push along the Pasvill river in
the Murmansk region of northern
Russia must be considered in connec-
ton with events in Russia which
gradually are developing in anti-Bpl-
shevik directions, says the corre-
spondent of the Times in Christiania-
There is reason to believe, he adds,
that Entent traffic in Archangel,
which has been suspended for the
last u months, will soon be resumed.
The Germans, therefore, are eager to
cut communications with southern
Russia and force an issue as regards
their demand for an ice free port on
the Arctic coast. The correspondent
adds:
THE same events which compelled
the Germans to send troops north
ward will presently make it even
more important for the Allies to oc-
cupy these regions. Questions of vi
tai interest to both parties also must
be decided"

The Pacific Coast ports are rapid
" becoming the favorite route for
merchandise bound to or departing
from the United States. Even be-
fore the U-beats made their appear
ance along the Atlantic frontage the
share which the Pacific ports had of
the foreign trade of the United States
was showing remarkable gains. A
compilation by The National City
Bank of New York shows that the
imports entering through the Pacific
ports In the nine months ending with
March, 1918 were more than double
those of the corresponding period of
1917, while merchandise entering
through the Atlantic coast ports
showed an actual decline. Imports
through the Pacific ports in the nine
months ending with March, 1918, were
466 million dollars in value against
223 millions in the corresponding pc
riod of the preceding year, and those
through the Atlantic por<s Ito mil
lion dollars against 1924 millions in
the same months of last year; while In
the case Of New York the total fol
the nine months ending with March
1918 was S68 million dollars against

In exports the Pacific ports also
show an increase Of 120 million dol
