Special Correspondence. New York, Oct. 13. That the recent financial panic from which the United States Is now re covering was not the result of local conditions is Indicated by the fact that a severe business and industrial depression for months has prevailed throughout the world. The United Slates has suffered less than any other country. In fact, the situation In this country s not to be convpared to that abroad. Official reports recently received by the department of commerce and labor furnish nn accurate index to the busi ness conditions of foreign countries. These rtpor's show that the Imports Into the United Kingdom for home consumption and the exports of do mestic manufacture have declined greatly. The situation there grows worse. In'August the decline In exports was 8.7 per cent. The decline in re exports, that Is goods imported from other countries for sale to foreign purchasers, was $i!7,532.420 for eight months this year, or over 20 per cent. The falling off in net Imports was $137,079,572 for the same time. The decline in exports of domestic manu facture In that country was $146,000, 000. or 10.6 per cent, in eight months, about 2 per cent greater than the de cline in the United States in the same time. Many Unemployed Abroad. Pauperism has increased enormous ly in the United Kingdom this year, and the number of persons receiving indoor relief is the greatest since the records began In 18H8. A census of the unemployed, taken by the newspapers, shows an extra ordinary number over 22.000 In Glas gow alone. The Ixindon Times says that the outlook is "the worst that the younger men have faced," adding: The dominant fact Is that there Is no life In shipbuilding, and no pros pect of any revival. The railway shops have cut down their staffs; aO per cent of the masons are out of work, and 25 per cent of the plumbers." Many Seek Charity. A Blue Book of the British govern ment shows that nearly l.ooo.ooo per sons were receiving relief on Jan. 1, which number has greatly increased since that time. In London alone 14!), 000 persons were securing relief a great number over the previous year. Wages have declined greatly. The London Financial Times, a high authority, of Sept. 19. says: "For the greater part of the year we have been passing through a very acute phase of commercial depression, and we have seen both imports and ex ports decline at a rate that has been anything but consoling. A review of the business of the principal foreign countries and colonies shows that practically everywhere business is In a very lethargic state. The board of trade returns of the commerce of for eign countries furnishes the necessary figures showing the condition of busi ness In those countries. "The imports for home consumption of Belgium for seven months show a decline of nearly $25,000,000. Thosa of Canada show a decline of 23 per cent, or nearly $40,000,000; France, $25,000,000; Germany, $45,000,000, and so on with other countries. The domes tic exports from those nations also show large declines. The greatest Is that of Egypt, which for the seven months shows a decline of over 19 per cent, or nearly $13,000,000. France shows a decline of nearly $35,000,000, or over 6 per cent. Germany's decline In exports Is less, but reached a total of about $10,000,000. Japan shows a decline of 12 per cent, or $12,000,000 and Switzerland a decline of 10 per cent, or over $10,000,000, and bo on with other countries. "The decline In the domestic ex. ports of the United States Is very much less than those from the United Kingdom, and the relative decline was very much less than that of Switzer land, Japan, Egypt, British South Africa, and some other countries. The average decline shown in Imports of all the countries was over 12 per cent, and In some exports over 8 per cent The later returns show even worse figures. Generally speaking, therefore we' have abundant proof of the wide spread nature of the present depres Bion In trade, and we need not alarm outselves that we are experiencing any special chastisement in the hands zt fate." "The Thunderer's". Tale of Distress. The London Times in a recent issue, speaking about the condition of affairs In Scotland, says: "The present generation does not recall such slackness in all industries, and, of course, in commerce which depends upon the activity of work shops and factories. "The outlook for the winter Is the worst that the younger men have yet faced. One shipbuilding yard has not a vessel on the docks, and another large one Is employing only a third of its full complement of workmen. The dominant fact Is that there Is no life In shipbuilding, no prospect of any revival, no orders in tljll of any con siderable magnitude. Therefore it is feared that the winter will lis n very hard one-. Cautious es Jinnies put the total number of men, including labor ers, out of work In Glasgow at from 20,000 to 30,000. Yarrow's is the only shipbuilding yard that Is fullly em ployed. The largest forge has reduced Its staff from 4000 to 2500. The rail way shops have cut down their staffs on account of economies. Fifty per cent of the masons are out of work and 25 per cent of the plumbers. "In the textile trade most of the fac tories are on short time or keeping down their output, so that women's wages are In fact reduced from 18 shillings ($4.37) a week to 10 shil lings ($2.43). Half of the 4000 dockers are unemployed. The provident so cieties toll rather doleful tales. Life policies are lapsing all around, In short, work Is scare and threatens to become scarcer. Following the exam ple set by the Glasgow Herald, the lord provost has opened a distress fund, and liberal response In being made by the citizens." The New York Journal of Com merce, in Its Issue for Sept. 23. re viewing American and British foreign trade, states: Home Conditions Not So Bad. "The falling 6ff in American exports In August amounted to" only 13.2 per cent, while on the British side there was a decrease of 18.7 per cent Our own export figures for the eight months as compared with the eight months ending with August, 1907, show a decrease of less than 9 per cent. The British figures for the corresponding period show a decline of 10.5 per cent." From this it will seem that the sit uation Is much worse In the United Kingdom and In some other countries than It is In the United States. The British board of trade returns for August show the largest aggregate de crease In trade for any month of the year. The Imports fell over $30,000,000 in that month, and the exports about $37,000,000. This enormous decline in trade, the Iondon Times Bays, "is of much Importance to the working classes owing to the enormous number of unemployed." A dispatch says: "With the trade declining in the alarming manner shown by the above figures, the outlook for the workers during the coming winter is very gloomy. The most serious feature In the point of view of the workingman Is the falling off of exports of manu factured goods." The situation in Germany is much the same, al' hough not quite so bad as in the United Kingdom. The Canadian government, owing to the trade condi tions, has adopted regulations to pre vent Immigrants from coming to that country unless well supplied with funds. At the recent session of th Canadian Manufacturers' association In Winniper. the parliamentary com mittee reported as follows: "The one outstanding feature of the year has been the pinch of hard times which all of us have suffered In n greater or less degree. The London labor bureau of the association has been closed as a result of the indus trial and financial depression." the mmm Short Items From Various Parts of the World.
