FOREIGN TRADE STILL EXCEEDS PRE-.
 WAR DAYS

While reports show that our foreign trade is falling off tremendously from the 1919 and 1920 standards it is still very high compared with the old, days before the war. The figures for the first seven months of 1921 show the total foreign trade of the United States for that period be $4 335 900 000 If the remainder of the year should keep up that monthly ratio the total for the year will ap- proximately s7,500, 900 900. That is very large ducton from the SIS, 900 900 of 1920 but it is a very large advance the s4,275, 900 900 for 1913, which larger than had ever been before in American history.
 The balance of trade in favor of the Unite l States for the first months the present year was $l,385,0 900. If the ratio is mana aine for the remainder the year the total will be $2 o75,0OO,O0O. This is reduction from the $2,873,- 00OOOO of 1920 and that of $4 137 900 900 for 19l9 but 1t is far in excess of anything that had in the pre-war days. The balance of trade in favor of the United States reached the billion mark until 1915 and the two billion mark passed until 1916 In 1910 the balance was less than 's20O. 900.

FISHERIES INDUSTRY LOOKS BRIGHTER.

The best thing in connection with the increase in marketing that the circumstances amply jus ty warrant the belief that there will be fur ther increases the advances. It is tained fact that the total salmon product ot Alaska British Columbia, Washington and Oregon will be less than half the output for last year It also is contended what be good authority that the surplus hand when the 1921 pack became available for drawing not above normal It is true that it seemed to be because much of it still in the hands of the producers rather than the consumers retailers and jobbers.
 Advancing prices will immediately of course, stimulate buying. The circumstance that retail and wholesale merchants have only small quantities of salmon hand will stock up before the prices go high will make large demand for quick delivery. Rising prices rather than falling always brisk trade. The fact that there has been constantly increasing demand for canned salmon for consumption for the last two three months is an indication of what might expect until the whole supply shall have passed of the bands of the producers.
 The indications that the 1922 salmon packing season will open up without any visible sup ply except that which is in the trade The result ought to revival in the fishing business be- cause shortage of canned salmon cannot fail to increased demand for other varieties of food fish.
 The fisheries industry is looking brighter

Greatest PlutOcrat.
(New York Tribune.)


 How is Soviet Russia financed? The world hears of paper money vaueless that a single meal costs of rubles But it also hears of attempts to dispose in foreign countries of many millions of good gold How much metal treasure is hidden be- hind the smoke of the product of Lenine's printing presses?
 Enough, probably, to make Lenne the worlds richest mann ready cash the putocrat that the planet has known. When he seized the Russian treasury he into possession of about $750, 900, 900 in gold. Since, a Reva correspond ent of the Paris Figaro writes, he has rfed the vaults of the Russian banks and the treasure chests of the Kolchak government In jewery and precious stones wrested from the and fingers of the old arstocrats he has assembled perhaps billion more in articles transferred.
 On the other side of the ledger he paid to Ger many something like $325.O00,00O for the Brest- Iitovsk peace Across the Baltic border and into Asiatc Turkey, to finance the Angora Government, probably s250, ,0O0, 900 has flowed. Part of this for propaganda but the larger part doubt less represents prudent planting funds abroad by those who believe in Bolshevism but not enough to make them indifferent to future easy living and to smoking Svenga remarked, the cigar of the Ha- yana they take the air on the boulevards
 Besides gold and precious stones Lenine has a quick asset in the Ural platinum mines and much small change from melting down the holy vessels of the churches. So he is rich-very rich. and thrifty soul hangs to what he has.

TAKING SHIPPING LOSSES.

The Shipping Board has sold some 300 wooden ships that lie in the James River, Va, Lake Union Washington, San Francisco Bay and other hsrbors throughout the country.

 The Government is taking, of course a very large loss on these vesess However. that not neces- sarily mean that their building was mistake They were made because they could be quickly built and placed in commission. If the had continued a short time longer they would have been put to work It was figured that if they made single trip each across the their construction would be fully justified
 But whether not their building a war mistake. the Government is doing well to get rid Of these vessels the earliest possible date Let them be sold for what they will bring and close the

There is no chance that the loss can be reduced by retaining the vessels, and certainly it is not being minimzed by keeping them in idleness with their actual charged against them
 Not only should the Government sell the wooden ships immediately, but should sell the others as fast as purchasers can be secured-and it should be prepared take loss them too
 The difference between the cost of the Shipping Board vessels and administration and the receipts from that source is a very proper charge, but If we continue losing money on them for many years we shall be unable to explain the losses that way
