NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Henry Clay
Prick died here today. Mr.. Frick suf-
fered an attack Of ptomaine poisoning
early In November. He had nearly re-
covered from this when complications
developed. He was 50 years old.
Mr. Frick was born at Overton, Pa,
Dec 10, l849, began business life as a
clerk for his grandfather. a flour mer-
chant and distiller. He later embarked
In small way in the coke business.
He was married In 1881 to Miss Ade-
laide Howard Chllds, of Pittsburgh.
He was president and since 1897 chair
man Of the board OF directors of the
II. c. Frick Coke company, now the
largest manufacturers of coke In the
world, operating nearly 10000 acres OF
coal land and $1,000 coke ovens with a
daily capacity of rs, 900 tons Mr.. Frick
came into public notice in 1892 through
his vigorous management during the
Homestead strike. when he was several
times shot and stabbed by one of the
strikers. He served as chairman Of
the board OF directors of the firm OF
Carnegie Bros. from 1889 to 1892 and

has thus been greatly increased and
Europe has been deprived Of the means
of meeting 1t heretofore existing.
Europe can have only three ways Of
meeting the favorable balance OF trade
In peace times; By imports into this

gold to us nor could be contemplate
large further imports of gold into this
country without concern. The time has
nearly passed for international gov
ernmental loans and it will take time
to develop in this country market for
foreign securities, Anything, therefore,
which would tend to prevent foreign
countries from settling for our exports
by shipments Of goods into this coun-
try could only have the effect OF pre-
venting them from paying for our ex-
ports and therefore of preventing the
exports fro mbeng made, The prod
uctlvity of the country greatly stimu-
lated by the war must find an outlet
by exports to foreign countries and any

fact that American business Is fun
grown and that America Is the greatest
