Money Flurry Tlghtcm-d llio Purse- Strings of the People However the Reaction IVoui IIili Punic Brought Foreign lSuslne I'p to the Old Siamlanl. Henry Clews says of the condition of trade as a result of the late lament ed financial panic: The panic has exerted a very strik ing effort upon our foreign trade. Im mediately after that crisis our exports were greatly stimulated by forced liquidation and the necessity of Im porting about $100,000,000 of gold. The four months, November, Decem ber, January and February, were each ncord-breakers; the exports of mer chandise during that period aggregat ing $7S5. 000,000, or over 164.000.000 more than In the Mine months of the previous year. In the three succeeding months, March, April and May, this gain was entirely lost and turned Into an actual decrease. Owing to a sudden cessa tion of exports the shipments of mer chandise fell nearly $66,000,000 below the same three months of 1907. This sudden shrinkage was due to the fact that our exportable surplus of grain nnd other products was practically ex hausted, and that there was no further urgency for liquidation. NYvertheless ,the contraction In ex ports which begin In March will be a serious matter if sustained. It has al ready led to the withdrawal of sev eral big cargo boats by one of the leading transatlantic lines, and also ac counts to some extent for the heavy shrinkage In trunk line traffic. i n the Import side of the accounts there has been a persistent and very large shrinkage since the panic. For the seven months following the panic our Imports of merchandise amounted to $i:i3.(00.000. a loss of $259,000,000, or about 40 per cent compared with the same period of the previous year. As our exports showed a total shrinkage In the seven mouths of about $2. 000, 000 It Is evident we are left with a verv unusual excess of ex ports. If we select the 12 months ending May, we find the excess of ex ports has amounted to $667,000,000, compared with $445,000,000 In the previous yea. This Is a most extra ordinary Increase In our trade bal ance, and must be largely attributed If the reactionary effects of the panic, which temporarily stimulated exports and checked Imports. As a result of these remedial tend encies our credit abroad must have been materially strengthened. Of the $100,000,000 gold exported right utter the panic we have already returned fully one-half, and our net Imports of the precious metal during the past 12 months have been $60,000,000, com pared with $83,000,000 during the same time last year. The stock of gold In this country must, therefore, bo unusually heavy, for In addition to thesp large Impor tations It should be remembered that we produce nearly $100,000,000 of gold per year, or about one-quarter of the world's annual output.

A thief entered the barn of Ed Tay lor at Old Town last night and walked off with a brand new buggy and har ness.

"Although the season has been backward the fruit production of the Lewiston country this year will beat all previous records," said W. P. Jor dan, general agent of the Northern Pacific, with headquarters In Lewis ton, who was In the city yesterday, says the Spokesman-Review. "The cherry crop Is giving evidence that It will exceed all expectations. The frosts this spring affected the crop somewhat, but nothing near the extent anticipated. On account of the floods in Montana which have had the result of leaving the Lewiston country, with only one route to the east practically all the cherries are going to the canneries. "It is conservatively estimated that not less than 400 cars of peaches will be shipped by the Northern Paclfio out of Lewiston this year, exceeding the number In any year before by at least 100 cars. This Is not taking In to account an estimated number of about 200 cars which will be shipped from thje Snake river country south of Lewiston by way of Rlparla. "The fruit situation in Lewiston has never looked better and from present indications the crop will give the lar gest return to the growers since Lew iston has figured as a fruit-producing section."
