TRADE OF U N ITE D S T A T E S .
Washington, June 26.— An analysis
of the toieign commerce of tta» United
States, contained in a bulletin issued
by the department of Commerce ami
Labor, says that in the fiscal year
1906, 48 per ceut of the imports into
the United Btatee was drawn from Eu
rope, 20 per cent from North America,
13 per cent from South America, 14 per
cent from Asia.
Of the exports from
the United States in the same year, 67
per cent went to Europe, 17 per cent
to North America, 4 per cent to Bouth
America, 8 per cent to Asia, 2 per tent
to Oceanica and 1 per cent to Africa.
A comparison with the figures for
earlier years shows a gradual decline
in the share of our imports supplied by
Europe and in the share Europe takes
of our expots. This is due largely to
the enlargement of our trade with the
Orient.
Imports from Europe have grown
from $384.000,000 in 1896 to $541,-
000,000 in 1906; from North Amer
ica. $134 000.000 in 1896 to $227,000,-
000 in 1906; from S mth America, from
$112,000,000 to $161,000,000, but the
bulletin adds that in 1906 they w ill fall
about $14,000,000 below thoee of 1905,
chiefly on account of a reduction of the
quantity of coffee and India rubl>er im
ported. From Asia the imports have
grown from $78,000,000 to $163,000,-
000 in 1906.
Exports to Europe have grown from
$628 000 000 in 1895 to *1,021,000,000
in 1905; to North Ainercia, from 1108,-
500,000 to $260 500.000; to 8 >uth
America, from $33,000,000 to $50 000,-
000. and to Asia from $17,330 000 to
$128,600,000.

Few Insurance Companies Have Failed
to Comply With Law.
Nan Francisco, June 26.— That the
insurance companies fear the weight of
official displeasure is shown hy the fact
that there are now hut five or six coin*
allies which have neither furnished
their lisle of policy holdeis nor extend
ed time for pro«f of loss. Assistant
Attorney General George Hturtevarit
said today that his office is now ready
to commeiice action against the com-
panic* which have not )>een dealing
fairlv. He added:
" W e have found a way to reach both
the six-hit concerns and the outlaw
companies, as ws term those who have
neither filed lists of policy holdsrs nor
granted extension of time for filing
proof of loes. Wherever it is found
necessary, both penalties under the
statutes will !>e enforced— forfeiture of
Imnd aud ejectment front the state.”
The financial condition of practically
all of the companies involvsd here will,
it it stated, be disclosed on July 1,
when the companies w ill lie compelled
to file in the state of Georgia semi-an
nual statements of thslr condition.
Georgia la said to tie the only state in
the Union requiring semi-annual state
ments.
Chairman Spencer, of the “ dollar for
dollar" committee ol the Imard of un
derwriters, said today that the outlook
is dubious.
“ There are undoubtedly a large mint-
tier of companies which must go to the
wall soon,’ 1 he said. “ I do not want
to specify, nor would I say that all the
honest and solvent coin panics are in
the ‘dollar for dollar’ class. I do not
want to impugn the motive# of any of
the companiea that propoee a compro
mise.
Borne of them undoubtedly
cannot pay and ars offering the l>eat
they can.
“ Borne of the companies are now
making a delay to learn the extent of
their liabilities and will then pay what
they owe. Others are delaying in had
faith. These will have to wait and go
out of business, unless they ran make
good soon.”
