Foreign Trade Drops
 Despite August Gains
Cotton Exports to Asia, With Seasonabe Increase in
 Imports, Greater Than July

pression, for the August exports tot increase over the month of July as shown by the fact that in 1880 one of the bad years of the de- pression, August exports exceeded July exports by $31.OO0,000 instead of a bare $2,158.000 in this year of 1892.
 The explanation of the increase in exports for August over July this year is found entirely in the increase of exports in cotton of which Japan is the largest buyer, from $15,853,8S8 in July to $18,- 112,60S in August.
 The increase in imports is due to seasonal importation and a rise in the price of commodities abroad.
 A decline in the foreign trade, since the beginning of the Hoover panic is shown by the figures for the eight-month period of 1892, compared with the same period of 1891, 1890 and 1929. The decline in exports for 1882 compared with it was $,5S3,574,O00: with 192911 1881 was $604.778,0 900; with 1880 it was $1,5s3,574,0 1000; with 1929 it was $2,349,744,000.
 The decline in imports for the eight month period since 1929 was as follows: Compared with 1891 imports declined $531,185,00O, with the eight month period of 1880 they declined 5,00O; with the same period 1929. $2,091,6oS.- 00O.
 Taken as a whole, the foreign trade for August, 1892, indicates only that the decline started by the Hawley-Smoot tariff act still con- tinues with nothing to indicate either an appreciabfe or permanent check.

Two Decisions
 for Defendants Common Pleas Decides Issues Tried This
 Week

Two defendants decisions were handed down in the common pleas court this afternoon on cases tried this week. In the first case, Har- ry Hackensen against William R. Ellis, the plaintiff sued for $3,- 900 damages claiming injuries and damage to his automobile resulting from a collision on South Main and Piedmont streets last Decem- Der 18th. In awarding the issues in favor of the defendant, Judge Miles F. McNiff states the plaintiff failed to sustain the burden of proof that he stopped his car sud- denly to avoid striking pedestri- an.
 In the second action. James Cor ideo, Inc, against Nunzio Valvo, Judge Edward J. Finn found the issues in the defendants favor, also. The suit was based on the allegations that when property was sold to the defendant by the plain- tiff. the plaintiff reserved the right to certain granite stones 'on the property. The plaintiff charged the defendant used the stones for his own purpose.

Wednesday. Sept 2S.
 Most products were light to mod crate in supply at the public mar ket on Meadow street this morn ing, but buyers did not turn out in sufficient numbers to absorb them except at price concessions in most instances. The rain had depress- ing effect upon trading.
 Lima beans were light in supply and sold out fairly early, mostly $1.5O a bushel. Snap beans were also lightly offered and were most ly cleared before the close, around $1.25 a bushel. Average quality of cauliflower on sale was betetr than earlier in the month and sold fairly, good stock bringing around $1.50 box.
 Carrots, cabbage, beets, egg plant. peppers, potatoes, winter squash, spinach and tomatoes were too plentiful for buyers needs and were marked down late.
 The coming of Hebrew New Year celebrated next Saturday and Sunday when live poultry, particu- larly live fowl, will be used freely was causing increased buying at farms this week.
 (Unless otherwise stated quota- tiOns are based on sales of good merchantable products to retailers by nearby growers or wholesalcrs).

Jersey City Mayor Be- lieves Democratic Win Assures Only Possible Prohibition Relief

New York, Sept 2S.-(UP)- Beer by March with Roosevelt was promised by Frank Hague, mayor of Jersey City and leader of the democratic party in New Jer- sey when he came back from Paris today on the He De France.
 "The only prohibition relief pos- sible is through the election of Roosevelt" he said. "I hear that an anti-prohibition group has in- dorsed Tubbs of California for the senate. Well, they'll find that the republicans will give them no re- lief when the showdown comes"
 Hague said he found people in Europe intensely interested in the presidential campaign here and wanting to know whether Roose- welt could win.
 T told them he certainly could and would," Hague said. Hoover carried New Jersey by 100000 in 1928, but Roosevelt will win this year by a comfortable margin. The democrats are conservative party. Radicalism went out with Bryan. All the leaders now are conserva- tive and progressive. Industry has nothing to fear from Roosevelt. He is for the wage earner and for putting business back on it's feet. He will do nothing to stif1e indus try because that would mean more unemployment"
 Hague is a close friend of AL fred E. Smith and was asked whether he believed Smith would help Roosevelt.
 1T have no fear of Smiths atti- tude on the national ticket" the mayor said If I asked him to come to New Jersey to campaign for the state and national tickets 1 am sure he would come"
