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.

off with a brand new buggy and har

articles or the thief whose fancy for
driving vehicles led him to make

joke on him, Mr. Taylor thought little
.of the affair and began a quiet Inves

LEWISTON FRUIT TO
BREAK RECORDS
V. J. Jordan, X. P. General Agent,
Snys Crop Is Promising.
"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."
