second and third-class postmasters
would be reappointed on the rec
ommendation of the Postmaster
General if they can pass a non
competitive examination given by
the Civil Service Commission
Should the Postmaster General
refuse to recommend the re
appointment or the postmaster
involved fail to pass the eXamina-
tion. then another Civil Service
employe already in the postal
service could be recommended for
promotion to the position.
Should no such promotion be
recommended, the vacancy would
be filled by the person making
the highest grade in an open
competitive examination given by
the Civil Service Commission.
1t is understood that the Rams
peck measure has the approval of
President Roosevelt and the Post
master General.
However, there are some mem
berS of the Senate who, while
agreeing with the ultimate aim
of the bill, favor altering the
method by which the Civil Service
extension will be brought about.

President w ears
TdCkSOn' S Chain
At Inaugural

The replica of Andrew Jackson'S
Hermitage" from which Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday reviewed
his second inaugural parade, was
not the only token of "Old
Hickory" in the days ceremonies.
For, throughout yesterday, the
heavy gold watch-chain which the
President wore was itself a tails
man of the Presidents hero of
history. 1t was presented to Jack
son by admirers in the days be-
fore he entered the White House,
and it was presented to President
Roosevelt just before last Election
Day.
He wore it for the first time
when he went to vote November
3 at Hyde Park, and has used it
as a sentimental charm ever since.
The chain is very heavy, the links
being in the forms of hounds
chasing a fox.

TRADE MARGIN
LOWERED BY
SHIP STRIKE
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM
Copyright, 1887 by International New
SPrviCe)

ServiCe)
Gripped in the wise OF a parlyz-
Ing maritime strike, the United
States last year registered its low
est favorable balance Of trade
since 1895.
Commerce Department experts
admitted today final American
foreign trade statistics for 1886
probably will show that exports
exceeded imports by less than 100
million dollars.
This is the smallest export sur
plus recorded in 42 years. In
1895, during the second admins
tration of Grover Cleveland, the
nations favorable trade balance
dipped to $75,0OO,O0O as a result Of
the panic of the early '90s. For
succeeding years it always has
been in excess of $1O0,O00,OO0.
The seamen,S strike which kept
American merchant vessels idle
at their moorings during the last
two months and the failure of
foreign recovery to keep pace with
economic acceleration in this
country we're considered the chief
causes OF the reduced export bal
ance.
IS Per Cent Slump
Had the strike started a few
weeks earlier. the United States
would have closed the year with
substantially more imports than
exports, officials said. This would
have given the nation its first un-
favorable trade balance since 1893
when the inflow of merchandise
was $18,000,000 greater than the
export volume.
Officials estimated 1885 exports
totalled $2,420, 900 900 and imports
$2,370.000,000. The normal sea-
sonal trade decline combined with
the effect of the strike cut No
vember exports IS per cent under
the October volume. Approx
mately the same reduction was eX-
perienced in December.

sales 1.459 hogsheads during the past
week indicate that the active season is
definitely over for this year. although
moderate receipts will continue for
another month or so.
Prices remained unchanged.
CROP PROSPECTS
Maryland-The cool, rainy weather at
the beginning of this week has caused
unusual activity of the tobacco worms
or caterpillars, which caused very con-
siderable damage to the late tobacco
while farmers were busy housing their
ripe tobacco. This will cause q further
decrease in the quality and also the
quantity of the 1887 crop, which we now
estimate will yield about 10000 hogs
heads less than last year.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA Q.N.S0.
The stock market rallied strongly
today, leaders squirting to 5
points and individual stocks as
much as in heavy dealings.
This was an extension Of yes
terday's late recovery, which fol
lowed another severe shake-out
into new low ground for the mid
way through the session.
Steels, motors, rails, coppers,
farm implements and mail orders,
which bore the brunt Of the recent
heavy liquidation, were pace
makers on the side-spread ad'
vance.
U. S. Steel netted better than
points, Bethlehem 3 and
Youngstown 312.
Chrysler skyrocketed close to
points to cross par and General
Motors ran up in the motors:
Union Pacific and Atchison were
up more than 2 and New York
Central almost as much in the

than 8 in the farm implements,
and Allied gained 4 and Du Pont
