Secrclnry Motcnlf of the Department
of Commerce and Labor. Makw His
Report Heaviest Export and Im
port nustnow Ever Experienced by
the 1'nlted Slates Chines Iloycou
Reduced Exports by $10,000,000.
I'matiHa county Is vitally Interested
In the report of Secretary- Metcalf
of the department of commerce and
labor, for the reason that this county
has contributed almost S000 carloads
of flour and !. 000. 000 bushels of
wheat to swell the export trade of the
United States during the past year.
The flour sent from this county has
irone principally to the orient and the
wheat to every market of the world.
Secretary Metcalf gives the follow
ing comprehensive summary of the
export and Import business of the
United States during the past year:
The foreign commerce of the year
was greater In both Imports and ex
ports than In any preceding year, as
was also the trade with the non-con- 4
tiguous territories. Imports, which
had never reached the 11. 000. 000,000
mark until 1903. amounted to 3100,-1
000.000 per month.
Of the increase of I10S.000.000 In
Imports. $25,000,000 was In manufac
turers' crude materials, 142.000,000
In manufactures for further use In
manufacturing, and 156,000.000 In
finished manufactures, while the
foodstuffs groups show a aecrease of
over US. 000, 000. due chiefly to a re
duction In the quantity of coffee Im
ported and a fall In the price of su
gar, of which the Importations In
creased about 300.000,000 pounds in
quantity, but decreased over' $12,000,
000 in value.
The exports which first touched the
$1. 000.000, 000-mark In 1892. and ex
ceeded $1,500,000,000 In 1905, were
In 1908 $1,743,864,500. an Increase of
$225,000,000 over 1905.
This Increase waa distributed among
all the great groups, the Increase in
foodstuffs being $123,000,000. crude
material for manufacturing $28,000,
000 and manufactures $74,000,000.
Manufactures formed 40 per cent of
the exports and manufacturers' crude
materials 34 per cent ' the Imports.
The Increase in imports during the
year occurred chiefly in the trade with
Europe, North America and Asia; the
Increase in imports from Europe be
ing $93,000,000, from North America
$8,000,000 and from Asia $18,000,
000, while Imports from South Amer
ica showed a decrease of $10,000,000,
due mainly to a reduction in the quan
tity of breadstuffs and provisions
available for foreign markets to
North America $48,000,000 and to
South America $18,250,000.
The exports to Asia show a decrease
of $23,000,000, occurring chiefly In the
trade with Japan and China. The ex
ports to Japan during the year were
$13 000,000 less than those of 1905,
and those to China $10,000,000 less.
AMVrifS IN THE TRANSVAAL.
European Element Afraid of Their
Competition.
Capetown, Dec. 10. The Europeans
in tie Transvaal are In a state of
great excitement over the fate of their
new id!nance for the registration of
Asiatic"!, from which royal consent
has ten withheld until a delegation of
Asiatics have an opportunity to pre
sent their side of the case In London.
The Europeans maintain that If the
Tramrvaal be opened for free Asiatic
immigration, the skilled trade and re
tail commerce will Inevitably be taken
from the whites, and In 50 years, the
population will resemble that of India
or Mauritius. Europeans will cease
to he anything but a small ruling class.
The policy of the present administra
tion Is to exclude further Immigration
pending the establishment of responsi
ble government, and at the same time
to extend greater privileges to Asiatics
already entitled to dwell in the colo
ny. The ordlnnnce presented today pro
vides for .the complete registration of
all Asiatics In a way to control fresh

will Rive n f'rm title to Asiatics al-

But you'll find still more
important to your mental
comfort to be sure of it. You
may evenjnow be wearing a

thinking it's all wool. You'll
know pretty soon; but it's
really better to know before

you may be sure of it before
you buy, because they don't
use anything else. When you
see their label, you know
you're getting the best.

sell them; this store is the
