U. 8. Foreian Commerce in 1920

The foreign trade of the United States in the calendar year 1920 will approximate s14,00O,O00,00O against $11 ,0o0, 100000 in 1919, $9,0O0, 100000 in 1918 and 1917 slightly less than sS,OOO.- 000, 900 in 1916, a little more than $5,- o0o, ,0oe,00o in 1915, and $4,277, 100000 in 1913, the calendar year immediately preceding the war these figures being in very round terms.
 The expectation, says The National
 City, Bank of New York in discussing
 this wonderful growth of the United
 States foreign commerce down to the
 present moment, that we should wit
 ness fall off in our foreign trade af-
 ter the termination of the war has not been realized. Both imports and ex-
 ports continue to grow, and the total
 on, both sides of the ledger will be big
 ger in the calendar year 1920 than in any, year since the beginning of the
 war sand in any calendar year prior to t the war were little less than $2.0O0,- 000, 900, and will total $6,O00, 900 900 in the calendar year 1920, while exports, which never exceeded 2 12 billion dol liars prior to the war will be over $S,- | 96O. .00o, 900 in 1920.
 | In certain details, however the trade record during and since the war shows remarkable changes. We have become large importers of certain manufac- lturing materials and very large ex- lipOrters of manufactures. We have also increased greatly our importa. ! itions of certain foodstuffs, but, on the other hand, have greatly reduced Noul exports of food; though in that other agricultural product, manufacturing i material, our exports show materia i increases. The imports, big as they ares are about equally divided betweer the three great groups, food, manu.
 featuring material, and manufactures while on the export side, food form. | about onefourth of the total, manu.
 l facturing material another ourth, ant
 manufactures one-half of the grant Il total I Speaking in very round terms, 1 Il may be safely asserted, continued tn banks statement, that manufacturinj ; material imported in the calendar yea 1920 will be a little over $2,000, ,00O, ,00 as against ,s600, ,000 GOO in the yea tl prior to the war; foodstuffs approxi

minors from joining with the newSl National league in the Lasker plan of | reorganization, addressed the conven- 1 tion this afternoon. |
 Proponents of the new league and | the Lasher plan will appear later The political shakeup in the Nation | al Association ofMin or leagues, which | 1t was remembered was being engin- | eered by the faction said to be favor l
 able to President Johnson in the base ball war, failed to materialize. John H. Farrell was reelected secretary for ten years and Mike Sexton of Rock | Island was reelected president but will
 not accept or reject the office until to- | morrow.
 1 Efforts were made to have Sexton replace Farrell as secretary, the chief office, but not enough votes were mus l tered. It is planned, however, to give
 Sexton salary of $5,O00 year. Heretofore he served without compen-
 sation. Previous to his address be- | fore the convention, President John son issued statement declaring that | it was war to a finish" and that the American league would place new clubs in Chicago, New York. and Bos- ton to replace those joining the new
 National league.
 What baseball needs is to get rid
 of some of it's recalcitrant club own CTS" he said.
 President Johnson of the American league, in his address to the minor
 leagues, characterized A. D. Lasker, of
 Chicago, sponsor of the Lasker plan for baseball reorganization, as "one who has not shed his sWaddling , clothes in baseball" and declared that ) the minors should not show any par
 tiality to either side in the major l, league dispute. ''The American league does not come here with the thought of asking you to carry any of our burdens," Presi- dent Johnson said. Tt must be clear 2 | to you that you should pursue a cen tral course showing no favor or par
 tiality to either"
 , There is question as to whether there will be any serious difficulties Q tO adjust, but I believe my position ' should be made clear. 1 think you z should have equal representation or f the national board and that you should ' have equal power with the American e and National league. We can offel i 3ou no more at this time. 1 have beer
 authorized by our board of directors tC request you to appoint a committee O V three to meet a committee of the sam, 1umber from the National and Ameri a can leagues to reorganize the gam a and all the differences should be swep o aside in view of the serious condition - Naat confronts baseball.
 r Tt is my thought that baseball h should remain in the hands of mel 2 who have given their lives to it's de Q Selopment.
 You are the men who shoul c 'leanse the game. You are bette = qualified to do the work than anyon outside of baseball. I have been eau IT tioned not to talk too much, but l wan n tO say that I do not approve of tn y I.asker plan, devised by one who ha l. not shed his swaddling clothes i l. baseball How can such individual di 10 rect the affairs of the game or its re IT formation ?"

LIBERTY BOND MARKET.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Noy. s.-Wheat, corn and oats all sold today at the lowest figures in four years. Support was lacking and there was talk current that Kansas bank CTS were discussing credit curtailment which would force much grain on the market. Wheat closed heavy 1-4 to T 1-2 net lower, with December TIT to 17S and March 175 to 175 IA, corn lost 7-S to 3 1-2 cents and oats 2 1-S to 2 3-S cents. Provisions finished unchang- ed to 40 cents lower
 At first, the market showed an upward tendency in response to rallies in for eign exchange. Besides shorts manifest ed a disposition to cover on account of the severity of recent declines. When deDs nd from shorts had been satisfied. however. the bottom seemed to drop out of the market and prices rapidly descend ed notwithstanding assertions that large receipts of late at southwestern terminals had been due to clearing out of elevator stocks and not selling by fadmers. To- ward the last part of the day attention centered more and more on possible ex- tenslve ealing of rural loans in Kansas. Bearish economic developments and weakness in the New York stock market counted also as notable depfessing fac tors.
 Corn and oats were swayed by the action of wheat Automatic stop loss selling orders did good deal to acceler- ate the downward plunge of all cereals provisions fell with hogs and gran.

RETAINING OF PLAYERS DEPENDS
 ON GOOD WILL OF THE MEN

St. Louis, Nov. g Whether the American league will be able to re- tain it's players may depend on the good will" of the men, according to Phil Ball. president of the St. Louis Americans, who returned today from Chicago.
 Ball said it was expected the majori- ty of players would be in line on their contracts.
 franchises and players, however, are part of the assets of the American league" he asserted, and cannot be transferred to another organization.
 We will be doing business next year, but as to our plans we are, of course, merely marking time until the situation clears. I don't know where the minor leagues stand, but I cer- tainly am surprised that six of the owners of the National league clubs should have taken the stand they did. However, some of us have been through one war and we are here to stick for the next, if they will have it. It will be healthier league with three magnates out, although we have noth- ing against Ruppert of New York"

vention.
 The political shakeup in the Nation al Association of Minor leagues failed to materialize today when the league presidents elected officers, John H. Farrell, of Auburn, N. r., who was slated to be busted from office, was reelected secretary and treasurer for a period of ten years.
 M. H. Sexton of Rock Island, nl, was reelected president, but reserved his decision upon acceptance until to- morrow. The minor leaguers plan to place the president on a salary of S5,000 annually, and have that official take more active interest in the management of the minors affairs. Heretofore, MT. Sexton served without compensation and devoted only a little time to league affairs.
 Preliminary to election, the league presidents discussed the advisability of requesting state legislatures to pass strict law providing for prison sen tences for persons convicted of brib- ing baseball player to throw games The proposal was referred to committee on resolutions which is scheduled to meet tomorrow.

side our increasing dependence upon
 the tropics for food and manufactur- ing material, and on the export side a tremendous increase in exports of manufactures, but marked fall off in foodstuffs exported. The value of manufactures exported in 1920 will be as already indicated, about four times as much as in the year prior to the war. Their distribution is absolutely world wide, approximately 80 per cent. of our exports to Latin America, Asia, Africa and Oceania consisting of man ufactuYes, over 50 per cent. of the toS tai exports of the year being, as above indicated, manufactures, while food Stuffs, especially meats, show a tre- mendous fall off. On the import side, foodstuffs show a very large increase, especially in sugar, coffee, cacao, fruits

Chicago. Nov. g = The American league has no power to hold the play CTS on the three clubs which have joined the new National league and every man on these clubs can play in the new organization next year, &C., cording to an opinion given tonight by Alfred Austrian, attorney for the two Chicago major league clubs and advisor in the drafting of the Lasker plan for reorganization of the game
 Mir. Austrian's opinion was render ed in response to statements from rep- resentatiyes of the five clubs which are backing Ban Johnson in the base ball war that the league owned all it's players and that the Chicago White Sox. New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox clubs consequently could take only their ball parks into the new league"
 ,-The players belong to the clubs and their contracts are made with the clubs" said MT. Austrian. "The league Is merely a voluntary organization which has no contract power over the men other than to prescribe certain clauses which may be put into con- tracts. do not care to say at pres ent whether even this power. which voluntarily has been given the league Is lawful -I
 There is no doubt, however. that the Chicago. Boston and New YorI clubs. formerly of the American leaeue may take their entire playing person nel into the new league, regardless o claims 10 the contrary which may. b, made by Mir. Johnson and his fIv, packers"
 The new National league, however is preparing for extensive court actiol and expects numerous injunctions t, be applied for by the five American league clubs before they permit in players on the other three clubs to b. taken from the league, according t representatives of the new organiza
 We e-pect bitter court battles. Taid one club owner. but we have pre- 'ceeded carefully and have no doubt a 10 the outcome. The new league composed of the money making club and they are ready to spend every cen necessary to win"
 This club owner pointed out that necessary the Chicago, New York an Boston clubs could put teams of anna tetirs in the field as their representa- tives in the American league if the SO desired.
 The three former American leaglj clubs are made up of many of tn stars of the game. including Bal Ruth, Dick Kerr, Ray Schalk. Joh Collins Carl Mays, Harry Hoone Duffy Lewis. Jack McInnis. Bc Shawkey. Roger Peckinpaugh, Schan and Ward.
