today.
Coupled with heavy outward
crop movements, the foreign pur.
chases of armamentS pushed
United States exports close to the
$3,40O, 100000 mark, an increase
of 35 per cent over 1885.
At the same time, imports
scared to $1,000, 900, 900, a gain Of
% per cent over the previous year,
and gave the nation favorable
trade balance Of $3.50, 100000 for
1887.
FAR EAST PESSIMISM
Commerce officials, however,
noted several unfavorable factors
in current trade trends that are
expected to have an adverse eff.
feet on 1888 exports.
Chief cause for pessimism, &C
cording to Alexander Dye, head
of the ioreign commerce division
lies in the Far Eastern warfare
Another problem faced by Amer,
ican exporters is the decline in
purchasing power that has set in
during recent months in many
foreign markets.
"Our foreign trade at the mo-
ment continues to be an out
standing bright spot in the busi-
ness picture" Dye asserted.
Beyond the first quarter of
1888, however, the outlook is
somewhat obscure.
"The recent wide monthly
differences between the value of
imports and exports is not like
ly to continue in the long run.
We must either have an expan-
sion in the value of imports or
a reduction in exports may be
expected to occur. Further, we
may feel reasonably sure that
the decline in purchasing power
in many of our important for
eign markets will temporarily
adversely affect our exports"
TREATY MAY OFFSET
Partly counterbalancing the ad.
verse factors is the possibility OF
an early reciprocal agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, Dye said.
1T should be emphasized that
the effects of the trade agree
ment policy are accumulative in
augmenting the volume of our
foreign trade in the future"
The Commerce Departments
studies showed that exports of air
craft and copper increased 80 pei
cent over 1885, while shipment.
abroad of steel mill products, in
Guiding steel scrap, rose 173 pei
cent.
Early in 1887, Commerce De.
partment trade forecasters had
anticipated the year would show
wide margin of imports over
exports and that the United
States would record it's first un.
favorable trade balance since
1898.
This was prompted by the fact
that the 1886 drought had Stimu-
lated sharply the domestic de-
mand for agricultural products
Later in the year, however, record.
breaking crops greatly curtailed
the demand for foreign agricul
tural goods. In addition, the
business recession reduced the
American demand for foreign raw
materials.

Wardeska, president; Harvey Wyland,
vice president; Arthur Ferber, record
ing secretary; Elmer Lewis, financial
secretary; Earl Johnson, treasurer;
Ernest Hoyt, trustee.
The hot weather has had its effect

that the membership will realize that
their presence at all meetings is the
one thing that encourages their Of
ficers most. Those who do not attend
have no right to complain as to what
is, or is not transacted in the local.
Members in arrears with their dues
had better see the secretary at once,
as suspensions are promised to all
members to whom it is due, with no
exceptions. A word to the wise should
be sufficient.
Our local has been honored by hav-
ing representative at our next wage
conference. We have chosen Brother
Earl Johnson who has served his To-
cal very efficiently in different ca
pacities and we feel we have made no
mistake in naming him to this import
ant mission.
Yes, we are going to have a picnic.
The Universal Potteries, Inc, in con-
junction with the employees, will stage
their third annual picnic Saturday,
August 20, at the city park. Final
arrangements have been completed by
the committees, composed Of repre-
sentatives Of the plant and the en-
ployes. There has been nothing left
undone and we expect this to be a
day of real pleasure for all.
AS to amusements, contests of
every description have been planned.
There will be free dancing in the
afternoon and evening for those who
are dance -minded;" a ball game be-
tween the potters and an out of town
team. This will be of real interest as
the potters have fine team and have
earned the right to represent Cam
bridge in an inter county contest.
| have been authorized to extend a
cordial invitation to out of town pot
ters and members of the Executive
Board to attend our picnic.-O. c. 1872
