The Estacada News te n e d Each Tlwradar BALANCE FAVORS ISLANDS. DOUMA DISSOLVED. Philippine Exports Exceed Imports First Time Since Annexation. Washington, July 24 —The two most noteworthy features of the commercial returns of the Philippine islands for 1906 are a balance in favor of the is lands for tbe first calendar year period in the history of the American occupa tion, and tbe advance of American goods to the first rank in the import trade. The favorable trade balance is due to increased export values, which aggregated $33,464,744, or more than $4.000,000 in excess of the exports for 1904. An ¡ncreara of $600,000 in American trade in 1906 with tbe is lands, combined with a decline in rice imports, gives to the United States tbe lead, and in view of the anticipated further decline in tbe demand for for eign rice in tbe islands, the United States is expected to continue to in crease its lead.
