HIGH TRADE RECORD.
This Country’s November Exports Far
Surpass All Precedent.
New York, Dec. 16.——Within the last
; month almost every so—called high re-
cord in American finance has been bro-
ken.
Last week’s New York bank state-
largest loan and
deposit accounts ever recorded.
Last month’s aggregate bank clear-
ings, in New York city and in the en-
tire United States, ran for beyond
those of any month in Ameriéan his—
tory.
The money supply in the country, as
estimated by the treasury on Decem—
ber 1, is greatly in excess of any pre—
vious return. The total gold in the
United States treasury, as reported
yesterday, exceeds all records of the
government.
The bureau of statistics has publish-
ed the statement of the country’s for—
eign trade for November which shows
that in this direction too, all previous
records are broken.
The previous high water mark of
merchandise exports was last Decem~
her, during the European grain fam-
ine, when the United States exported
'$125,059,723 worth of goods.
Last month, according to yesterday’s
report, it shipped $129,783,512. The ex—
cess of merchandise exports over im-
ports is $77,673,952, also the largest of
any month in our history.
For the eleven completed months of
1898 the excess of merchandise exports
over imports was $537,837,046, an in-
crease of $254,271,228 over the export
excess even in the same months of the
famine year 1897.
Our gold imports during the similar
period this year are $149,396,370, "a fig-
ure never approached in any of the
previous Years.
NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE-
Broad Reciprocity Arguments Advocated
Resolutions Passed.
Washington, D' C., Dec. 16.—The first
matter which came before the meeting
of the National Board of Trade yes-
terday was the report of the commit-
tee on reciprocity and export trade,
presented by Mr. Ebersole of Cincin.
nati.
Resolutions which were adopted rec-
ommend that reciprocal treaties be
negotiated, especially with the count"
ries of the American continent.
It was asserted that the prosperity
of the country will be greatly promoted
by the nearest practical approach to
the establishment of complete 1‘ecip1‘o--
cal trade relations between the United
States, the Dominion of Canada and
the colony of New Foundland.
From the committee on postal af—
fairs. Mr. Giddings of New York pre—
sented a report which recommended
that Congress carefully look into the
matter of rates paid to the railroads
by the government for carrying the
mails.
The committee also reported a reso-
lution favoring the establishment of a
system of postal savings banks. The
board adjourned to meet on January
23, 1900.
Sailing of the Brooklyn.
Norfolk, Va., Dee. 16.—The crui'ser
Brooklyn, Captain Cook commanding,
sailed from Hampton Roads yesterday
morning for Havana.
She came from New York the day
before and the entire time was devo-
ted to_filling her coal bunkers. It has
been reported that General Miles would
take passage on her,. his object being
to study the. military situation at Ha-
vana and to recommend just how many
American troops should occupy the
city. :2
It was said at Old Point, however,
that the commanding officer of the ur-
my had not arrived there, and it is not
thought that he sailed on the Brook-
lyn.
Battleship in a Bad “'uy.
New York, Dec. 16.—It is figured by
department experts that it will cost
524,000 to repair the battleship Massa-
chusetts and it will take six weeks to
:10 the work.
Her injuries are very much like those
the Brooklyn received a year ago in
the Delaware river, where she struck
a pinnacle of rock and tore her bot—
tom.
Naval men think that it will be a
delicate piece of work to dock the 'Mas-
sachusetts, because for a time. while
being: shifted, she will have tn rest
her entire weight on her injured keel,
and extraordinary cane/will be neces-
sary to keep her from settling.
Socialists Oppose Gompers.
Kansas City, Decv. 16.——The dele-
gates representing the Socialist ele.
ment in the American Federationof
. Labor were in secret conference until
nearly one o’clock yesterday morning
to consider the advisability of nomin-
ating a candidate to oppose Samuel
Gompers for the presidency of the.
Federation.
The nomination was offered to
Frank P. Gobin, of Boston, represent-
ing the boot and shoe workers but he
declined.
The-caucus adjourned until last eve-
ning. The Socialists claim to control
890 of the 2,300 votes present in the
convention. .
Juvenile Capitalists.
Brooklyn, Dec. 16.——The public schools
In the borough of Queens have adopted
the penny savings bank system, and
as a result pennies given to the chil-
dren to spend for candy have been
turned over to their teachers, who had
them deposited to the credit of the
children in the Long Island City Sav-
lngs Bank. The total savings deposit-
ed aggregate $27,021.30. .
Italy and Don Carlos.
'Madrid, Dec. '16.—-The Spanish am-
bassador at Rome has been instructed
'to intimate to the Italian government
the necessity of expelling Don Carlos
from Italian territory if he does not
cease his conspiracies against the Spa—
nish throne. ’
Troops Ayn-Ive in Spain.
Madrid. Dec. 16.—-—The steamer St.
Augustine, with 1,305 troops from Cu-
ba, arrived at; Malaga yesterday. Two
deaths occurred on 'the voyage,‘ and
there were eighteen cases of sinkness
in board ,upon, the, vesseltn‘ arriving.

His Wife Appreciated.
'An honest exchange of compliments
‘. ls always an agreeable thing. A New .
England minister, recently married.
.had desired one of. his neighbors to
‘ secure a horse to be driven in thenew
fphaeton which the clergyman had
thought with a view to his bride’s
: pleasure.
l The minister’s wife made her first
,appcarance in church on the Sunday
after the wedding, and was approved
by the entire congregation for her
. sweet face and simple manner.
The next afternoon the minister took
his bride to drive, and passing his
neighbor on the read, he stopped to
say, pleasantly:
“You bought us a very good horse,
and we have to thank you for that,
Mr. W'ilson.”
“You’re welcome.” said the parish—
ioncr, with gravity; “and you’ve chos-
en an excellent minister's wife, sir.
which is about as difficult. The whole
parish thanks ye for that.”—Youth’3

. Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: "‘ My
wife has been so helpless for live years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After Using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters. she is vonderfully im—
proved and able to do her own work.”
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness. sleep-
lessness, melancholy. headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. ThIs
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 500.
