marking a new all-time high in local
retail annals. Such a performance
means an increase of better than Is
per cent over the official Govern
ment figure of 1891 10000 for the
year 1885. In this indicated better
ment virtually every class of retail
ing is participating to a greater or
less extent.
For department stores alone the
years volume will likely exceed the
official 1885 figures of about $50,-
100000 by from 10 to IL per cent
and, by slim margin, mark up a
figure in excess of the previous peak
recorded in 1887. For apparel stores
the 1899 volume is on the way to
recording total more than 20 per
cent greater than the figure of $685.
100000 shown in 1885, though the
dollar sales may fail slightly to scale
the 1887 total. Food store sales are
destined to reach new high figure
this year, approximating $80,000,000
as against bit less than 1000 900
in 1885. Trade of drug stores will
approximate $22 100000 as against
about S19,250,000 officially reported
for 1895.
One further observation seems in
order and that is that for no other
large American city in the Washing

which prevailed in 1929. This is most

Chemical Profits Expected
To Increase Sharply
Special Dispatch to The Star.

cpCSini oiSpdsSi w 4uC Stdt
NEW YORK. July 29.-A substan-
tial improvement in the earnings of
the chemical industry is forecast for
the year 1899 by Poor's Industry and
Investment Surveys. In the first six
months net income of the industry
as a whole increased sharply above
the levels for the corresponding 1888
period.
Expanding business activity should
provide continued gains, but final
six-month results will not duplicate
the increase witnessed during the
first half, in view of the excellent
profits reported for the 1898 final
quarter. Full-year 1899 earnings Of
certain organizations in the indus
try promise to come close to their
1887 record profits.
Profits in the chemical industry
are very sensitive to fluctuations in
volume Of business" continues Poor's
analysis. Increased sales are being
accompanied by marked profit gains
This is particularly true in view of
prospects for continued satisfactory
price structure for the chemical in

Abrogation Of Treaty
May Spur Japan's
j. ). Purchases
Six Months Notice
Expected to Stimulate
Demand for Time
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, July 29.-Some for
eign trade circles said today the
United States notice to Japan of
abrogation of the commercial treaty
with that country might prompt
some immediate expansion of Japa-
nese purchases here of such things
as iron and steel, petroleum and
automobiles.
So far this year, Japanese pur-
chases have been somewhat less
than last year, but it was thought
the Nipponese might take advan-
tage of the six-months' notice to in
crease supplies of materials for
which they look across the Pacific,
in preparation for the possibilities
Of less favorable trade conditions un-
der such new treaty as may be nego-
tiated.
Although Japan bought only TT
per cent of total American exports
last year, it was Individually the
third best customer of Uncle Sam
It's total purchases here ran to $780,
$4,000, exceeded only by United
Kingdom and Canada.
Purchases Reduced.
In the first five months of this
year, Japan took only SOC, ,267 900 OF
American products, which was $13,-
37l 900 less than in the same months
of last year. The decline reflected
somewhat smaller purchases of cot
ton, petroleum, automobile parts
and airplanes.
Japan has been buying much more
from Uncle Sam than Uncle Sam
buys from her. American pur-
chases from Nippon totaled only
$126,820, 900 in 1898, leaving an ex.
cess of American exports to that
country of $112,800,0OO. This was
more than offset, however, by ship
ment of $168, ,739 900 of japanese
gold, which was sold to the United
States Treasury, thus providing
Japan with dollars to make pur-
chaseS.
In the earlier months of this year
Japanese sales to America actually
showed little higher dollar volume
Through May they amounted tt
$50, ,250,O 900, up $4,000 compared
with last year, but this was due te
higher prices for silk, resulting from
curtailed production.
Textiles in Lead.
The outstanding trade between
America and Japan was long tht
swapping of cotton for silk. But ir
1898, Japan bought $50 ,850, 900 worth
of cotton, and sold Uncle Sam $83,.
651 900 worth of raw silk, both fig.
ures showing substantial shrinkag,
from earlier years. Japanese pur'
chases of such things as iron ane
steel, machinery, automobile ane
petroleum came to substantial!
more than her cotton buying.
Silk, however, remained Japan
chief stock in trade, accounting TO
nearly two thirds of her sales here
Some textile men say the recen
development of new flbers by rayor
manufacturers here, with suficien
strength and elasticity to permit us'
for purposes heretofore reserved TO
silk, may make severe dent IL
Japanese silk business in years II
come.
The first reaction of the sill
market to news of abrogation of tn
treaty was a decline of few cent
a pound, but buying soon appeared
and prices came back partially.
