Will aggregate for the year about
$6O,OOO,000 against s36,000,000 in
1913, these increases in the value OF
sugar, coffee, and cocoa imported
being due in large degree to higher
prices. though the quantities in each
case also show large increases de-
spite the higher price at which the
importations occur.
This large increase in both i'm
ports and exports occurs in the
trade with all parts OF the world.
Europe, which sent us in the fiscal
year 1919 only s373.000,00 worth of
merchandise, is sending us this year
considerably over a billion dollars
worth, or practically three times as
much as in 1919, despite the asser-
tions made last year that Europe
would have little which she could
spare to the United States. She Is
taking from us this year nearly s5,-

There is no particular reason for
this excepting the low level to
which the price had fallen.
Gilt-edged stocks were extremely
inactive. There was no marked
change in British government Sc
curities but a slight improvement in

have strengthened but French loans
have been dull and sagged some-
what with the approach of the close
OF the half yeaT. The pressure for
money was more pronounced and a
big business in loans was reported
at the Bank of England, the de-
mands being principally for ad-
vances over the half year which,

, The foreign trade of the United
States in the fiscal year which ends
with this month will make a new
high record" In both imports and
exports, says a statement by the
National City Bank of New York,
the figures of the fiscal year 1920
will exceed in value those of any
preceding year. Exports will ap
parently exceed eight billion dollars
against seven and one-fourth bill
ions in the fiscal year 1919, six and
one-fourth billions in 1917, and two
and one-third billions in the year
Immediately preceding the war. I'M
ports will make the astonishingly
high record OF $4,000, 100000 against
SO, ,OO0. 900, 900 in 1919, a little over
81. 100000 in 1917, and less than
81. 900, 100000 in 1914, the year pre-
ceding the war. The total foreign
trade for the year will exceed thir-
teen billion dollars against ten and
one-third billions in 1919. slightly
less than nine billions in 1918 and
1917, and four and one-fourth bill
ions in the year prior to the war.
Raw manufacturing material
showed by far the largest growth
on the import side and will appar-
emily exceed $4,000. 5000 against
81, 1,250. .00O.0 900 in the former high
record years 1919 and 1918, and
s633. 100000 in the year preceding
the war. Manufactures exported will
show a total of about $3.50, 900, 900,
only exceeded in 1917 when war
materials were being exported in
quantities. and $1.100. .0OO,-
900 in the pre-war year 1914. Man
ufactures exported will be three and
one-half times as much in value as
in the year before the war and raw
manufacturing material imported
three times as much in value as in
the pre-war year.
Foodstuffs exported will snow h
smaller total than last year, but
imported will be nearly
double In value those of any earlier
year, aggregating nearly $500. 900. =

$3.50, 100000 in 1918, and s67S. 200, 900
in 1917. This enormous increase in
the value of foodstuffs imported is
due in a large degree to the advance
in prices of sugar and coffee. Sugar
imports alone seem likely to show
a grand total of over $500. 900, 900
against s3O9.0O0.000 in 1919. and

New York, June 2s.-A big JUMP
In July was the feature Of a small
cotton market today, and the un-.
dertone of the remainder Of the lat
also was firm on the whole, al
though tho latter positions sagsed
at times.
Initial quotations were to Is
points higher. The factor early wac
purchase for Liverpool spot
houses, also took the new crop
months. Increased offerings on the
rise eventually led to reactions with
the exception Of July.
A further readjustment OF July TO
closer parity with the spot article
carried that position to 3770 or $50
points above Saturdays close. To-
ward the close the later months fol-
lowed the lead OF July, October get
ting up to 33.50. Room traders were
caught short on the late rise. The
general market was finally frm at
q net gain of 35 to 40 points.
Spot here was steady with mid
ding SO points higher at 3s.75c;
there were no sales. Spot at New

First Quarter of 1920 Greatest In
Hong Kong's History of Trade

George Z. Anderson, United States
Consul General at Hong Kong, has
reported to the Department of Com
merce that, so far as trade with the
United States in both directions is
concerned, the first quarter of 1920
was the greatest in Hong Kong's
history.
In the way of exports to the Unit
ed States, both the first and second
quarter of 1918 reached a higher
value. but imports from the United
States then were not so large. says
the report.
Exports from Hong Kong to Con-
tinental United States for the first
quarter of the current year had a
declared value of ,S10,537.232. as
compared with s2.177.6s0 for the
first quarter OF 1919. when trade,
following the armistice, was at very
low ebb. Exports to Europe during
the quarter have improved some
what over the record in recent
months, but are far from being
normal. Imports from Europe. with
the exception of cotton piece goods,
also have dragged badly.
The trade situation, as a whole,
has shown some improvement over
the record of last year, but all rela-
tions with Europe are unsettled and.
The movement of
rice has not been so early as was
hoped for, but has set in fairly
strong, though much of the Saigon
crop has gone to Europe direct, and
important shipments usually made
via Hong Kong have been made di-
rect to Cuba and Central and South
America.

STOCKS HAVE
DULLSESSION
No Declines or Advances
Recorded During the
Day.
MINIMUM IN TRADING
Saturday S Bad Bank State
ment Partly Responsible
For Market.
MINIMUM IN TRADING

New York, June 2S.-Stocks open
ed strong this morning at about
Saturdays closing prices, but imme-
diately became dull and heavy, re-
naming so throughout the session.
Not q single advance of Importance
was recorded during the day, nor
was there any important decline.
Barrett and Crucible lost 5 and
points each respectively. but that is
only the normal fluctuations in those
issues and II meant nothing. The
volume of trading amounted to only
about a quarter of a million shares.
The bad bank statement of saturday
was partly responsible for the mar
ket. Money renewed at per cent.
but fell to in the last hour because
there was no demand for IL at any
price. The keynote speech from San
Francisco attracted but little atten-
tion. Wall Street can think of moth
ing but the mismanagement of the
money market. the delay of the In
terstate Commerce Commission In
fixing railroad rates, and the. tre-
mendous bargains in bonds being
overlooked.
An attempt was made to start
rumor that the new chemical COM
bination was meeting with obstacles.
but even a rumor could not prosper
in such a dull market. There IL
no evidence of any hitch in this
combination. All the stocks involved
are holding remarkably strong, in
view of the general market condi-
tions and their own recent ad-
vances. 1t goes without saying that
the combination will be a profitable
one, for road building Is to be the
most important business of the Unit
ed States the next ten years.
While everybody is sick of hearing
about the Federal Reserve Board
with it's refusal to do anything to
force defation of credits. and about
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion with its delay in granting re-
lief to the railroads. those two
things are the most important
factors in the stock market. Ad-
vance OF the money rate is doing no
good whatever. but it is injuring
the country because 1t does not af-
feet the profiteers.
Announcement made in this column
that the Island OIL Company had
brought in a 100. 900 barrel in Mexico
was confirmed today from Tampico.
The stock moved up nearly a point
on the strength of it.
The government will begin draw
ing money heavily from the New
York banks tomorrow. AS the banks
must also meet dividend and interest
disbursements the first week in July
there is no cheap money in sight for
ten days at least. By that time
money will be in demand for crop
moving purposes. The only i'm
portant reduction of loans by the
Federal Reserve Banks has been in
those secured by war paper which
means that commodity loans remain
practically unchanged. The bank
situation is not such as would war
rant any material change in the
money market.
Sugar stocks are holding steady
in spite of the easier tone in the
commodity.
Jesse Livermore, one of the spec
tacular traders in Wall Street, has
taken action by advice of the gov
ernors of the New York Stock Ex-
change to stop the circulation OF
wild rumors connected with his
name.

PLAN ADOPTED TO FINANCE
WOOL PRODUCERS

The Federal Reserve Board has
announced the adoption OF a plan for
financing thes wool growers during
the present emergency, caused by
sharp price breaks.
Under the plan a wool grower
may ship his product to one of the
usual points of distribution obtain
ing from the railroad a bill of lad
ing for the shipment; the grower
may then draw a draft against his
stock for such an amount as may
be agreed upon by the grower and
the bank. secured by the bill of
lading.

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. June 2s.-Corn futures
developed strength today Local
selling was in evidence at the out
set because of liberal receipts. but
the offerings were quickly absorbed
and later general commission house
demand featured the trade. Futures
finished strong; July rested at

BANKS STRENGTHENING THEIR
RESERVE POSITION.

New York. June 2T.-There will
be a call for condition of banks
within the next few days and this
has induced banks to strengthen
their reserve position. The head of
a large local bank says the money
and credit conditions are improv-
ing and that lower rates can be ex-
pected after July l. The outlaw
railroad strike is not regarded by
Wall Street as being serious. but
only to force an early decision in
wages, and predictions are made
that IL will be short lived.

MONEY.

New York June 2S.-The time
money market was quiet today
about unchanged from those OBJ
tanning last week. The prevailing
quotations for accommodation for
periods from so to 30 days ranged
81 to sA per cent. Money brokers
stated that very moderate amounts
were placed throughout today's ses-
sion. 1t is not expected that there
will be any material change in the
market in immediate future at least
ustil after the July holiday.
Acceptance bills were in fairly
good demand, the discount rate be-
ing from 5B to 6A percent.

GOOD STEEL EARNINGS IyDf-
GATED,

Steel companies will complete
their second quarter next wednes-
day. Although deliveries of steel
have been held up by the OUTLAW"
railroad strike, net earnings for the
three months are expected to be
larger than generally supposed.
Steel companies in the current
month made good progress in re-
ducing stocks, and June is looked
to make a creditable showing in
earnings. Manufacturers are opti-
mistic over the outlook for the third
quarter this current year.
