E TRADE GREAT AMOUNT Vast Total of Domestic Commerce One Hundred Times that of -Foreign Trade. ' New York, Feb. 16. While there been much discussion in recent months of the rapid growth of the foreign trade of the United States which reached the record-breaking total of over $500,000,000,000 during lvio, some figures just compiled here show that even this wnraressive amount is insignificant when compared to the volume of home trade. According to this estimate which has been carefullj prepared by experts the domestic com merce of the country last year amounted to over $500,000,000,000 or practically one hundred times the a- mount of foreign trado. When ship ments of goods abroad scored a total of $10,000,000 for a single day early last fall it was heralded as a wonder ful achievement but if the investiga tion referred to above is correct in its conclusions the home trs- "f this na tion averages the stupendous figure of almost $1,500,000,000 every day has been much discussion recently ered in arriving at this result were the bank clearings of the country, the val ue of manufactured and agricultural products and the volume of wholesale and retail trade. The investigaton goes to confirm the belief of business men that when home trade is good the Un ited States has little to worry about although it in no way detracts from the value and importance of foreign commerce. Reports of the dvestuff situation in this countrv. laid beforo an associa- tiorof clothing manufacturers several days ago, indicate that a crisis for the garment trade is already at hand, an3 that before long everybody will have to wear white clothes or none at all. Representatives of more than $75,000,- 000 of capital invested in the manu facture of men's garments heard the reports that attempts to relieve tnat situation by the importation pi log wood dye had been a failure as all the logwood dye in Jamaica, if available, would be inedetmate. More than 1,000 textile mills, employing upward ot 100,000 persons are idle or running on part time because of shortage of dyes. There is no 'immediate nope of relief from the creation of American analine dye industry. Capital cannot be inter ested in a project ot this kind because it is regarded as temporary, and the belief is that American dy" works would not stand renewed German com petition after the war without a great measure of tariff protection. The averace fare paid by eich per son in greater New York to the sub way, elevated and surface transporta tion lines during tho past year was $16.49. The figures are the annual re port of the Public Service Commission which shows the ircrease in the num ber of rides since the days of the horse car. Before the days of the elevated and subway each person paid about $2.25 in carfare a year. Accidents on railroads and street railways in New York in 1915 numbered 66,208, says the report which has just been issued. This is a decrease of 5,302 from 1914. Fatal accidents in 1915 numbered 20, as against 27 in 1914. Twelve pesons wore killed in grade crossing cci dents. The commission asks the Leg islature for $500,000 as the state's share in eliminating grade crossings during 1916. The commission cannot order an elimination until the state appropriates one-quurter of this esti mated cost. The companies pay one half and the citv the balance. Puling 1915 the commission awarded con tracts aggregating about $26,000,000. About $20,000,000 was for subway and elevated railroad construction, fl'he running expenses amounted to about $3,600,000, of which $3,000,000 was de voted to rapid transit work. The Metropolitan Art Museum now boasts the only real Egyptian tomb ever transplanted bodily ir"H its or ignial surroundings. The tomt is chat Pernab, a high functionary of the court of one of the Pharoahs, dates back to about 3000B. C. In order to accomodate it the museum authorities had to build a special addition to their structure, and while apparently all of it is within the museum walls the tomlb back of the facade is built out of an inner court. Some of the original coloring of the exterior ot the tomb is gone, but the beauty of the design is still to be seen. The wall decorations, including two portraits of Pernab, are now covered with glass for protection. On either side of the hall in front oi the tomb are cases containing vessels of different kinds taken from the ori ginal tomb, and a few bones, the last remains of Pernab, who finds a final resting place in the land he never heard of. The scarcity of servants in New York city because of the war is caus ing great alarm among employment agents, and as a result of a recent meeting on the East Side, an organ ization may be formed to meet the sit uation. The employment agents at the meeting expressed alarm over the news that, after the war, laws would be enforced by the various countries restricting emigration, and plans were tiiscussed for sending representatives abroad to stimulate the supply of-girls to do housework. "Not alone in New York City, but the whole nation is feeling the effects of yie curious sit uation'.', one who was present at the meeting said. "There never has been anytl.ing similar in the history of tho country that I know of. It was sug gested that men be Font to Germany, France, England, Russia and other countries to advis? tho wo ncr. hew to get to America and the advantages in the shape of employment to be obtain ed there", The demand for servants ia pouring In from all over the UaiUd States, and at least 50,000 girls, it is estimated, could find places. boc.
