"It U true Unit the value of our txpnitq in the nine months uiilliii: with M, nth is :J millions Ii-.-.-4 llian in Hip oire.poii(linj; uiontlii of lii'-t jn.ir. Yet the .lines of the mluction in the export flurci are w clearly due Id alinorni.il iiml emporary eondl t Ions tli.it tlic fiilllnt, nil dncs not indicate a tlfcro.tfc in the popul.iiil- of Anieriein produrts aluoiid or a reduction In the demand for them. On the eemlrary, I think we may eonsider our telves very forttuule Hut our export figures held 1i .is well as they did. Tho thief icriiiitlon in our exports." continued Mr. Au'llii, "can be traied to the destruction of our com nop by the drouth of lat .vcar. Corn l.as beeoine n) iuipoitauL a f.tctor in our export trade, both In lit. tulur.il (-tale and in the con-dcii-cil form of beof and pork, tli.it a loss of one fourth or one-Mill d of Hie cnormouo nop means a great iciliietlon in Hie surplus. In the last lour je.ir.s the exportation of corn lias averaged about 200,000,000 bmhvls pel annum. In the pre-ent llcal year it will not amount to one-fifth of that quantity. In (ho nine months endina with Maieh, 1002. the exportation of corn amounted to only 24 nullum bulicLs, against 113 million "bushels in tile corresponding- mouths of la.-t jear. The-e are the preliminary figures, but they do not differ much fiom the completed licurcs which we shall hive n fortnight licnec. The value of the torn and corn meal exported in t lie past nine months was but 15 million dollars, iic.iinst OS millions in the ccrrc.-pomliiur months ol the pieccdiiifr .voar. "Hut that Is not all of the effect of the loss of the coin nop. Tho (.hortiij-e of corn at home lia compelled iiiiny fanners to n.ce a larger share of oats in tho feed of their live stock, and as n rcMill the xiluo of the expoitation oT oats and oat meal in Hie f months ju.-l enurd vv.n 4', million-, against U'.i millions in the Mine months of last year. In tlime two items of corn and oats, in wliidi tliu leduction is wliolly due to the diouth of lat jear. Hie exportation have fallen 57 million dollais, while the total reduc tion in the xalue of all c.xpoits is but 50 mil lion. "Another Hem which shows a material reduc tion in value of exports is cotton, jet this is wholly due to a fall In pi ice abroad and not to a reduction in the quantity exported. 0:i the coivtiary, exports have increased materially in quantity, all hough the value has fallen. The tolal exportation of cotton in the !) months end ing with Jlauli was .,074.M9,42l pounds against ,710,503,107 pounds In tin Mine months of list sear. This is an uniea-c of :UI million pounds; jet, owing to the icdiiilinn in price, the value is actually 13 million dollars less thin in the Fame months of last ,vi-ai, the figures for the I) months just ended being till million dollais, against Ml millions in the Mine months of last jear. "Thus, in corn and oats, In which the i educ tion is wliolly due lo the diouth of j-t jear, and in cotton, in which the reduction is due to a fall in prices abio.id and not tu a reduction in quantity cxportt-d, the rrduetion in value of exports amounts to 70 iiilllicn dollais, while the pi and total of exports shows a reduction of but Hi million, "Regarding the bilge Increase of hiipnrtattcvis," runtimicd Mr, Airtlu, "I k'o no caue for nnxl'ly, but rather the reverie. We have not icceived the details of the Mireh impm t figures; but judging from tho-c of the preceding months, the increase is chiefly in manufacturers' raw materials. In the 8 months ending with February the increas in manufacturers' materials iiupoitcd wjs 57 million dollars, while the total Increase of Imports was but 71 million dollais; and it Is probable that the details of tho March llguiea when received will not materially change this condition in our im jwit trade, "At the rlk of being considered a Mitlstlcnl Marl Tapley," concluded Mr, Austin, "I venture the assertion tint theie Is nothing discouraging nliout the conditions on either tide of our for eign commerce account, Ho long as the iiiciease in iuiioitallons is chielly in .u tides which we cannot pioiluce at home and indicates a giowth in manufacturing, the increase will be welcomed by all; and en long as the reduction in exporta tion is due wholly to abnormal conditions, which may bo looked upon as only temporary, wo need feel no serious niuelcly on that score, especially as we arc still to have, even In this apparently adverse jear, a favoiable balance of tiado of be tween 400 and 500 millions of dollars." Considerable interest Is frit as to tha effect which the lemoval of the tea import duties will Jiavc upon the consumption of that article In the United Estates, The Import figures covering the neriod since the imposition of an Import duty upon tea (dune 13, 1808), do not Jusltfy tho ai-n-rtion ficqik-ntly niada soma jear sliu-o tint a 'unall tux would Increase the consumption of tea by insuring better qualities. The average anuuil Importation of tea since the enactment of the Jaw which placed a duty upon tea has been but bout til million pounds, while the avenge dur ing the preceding Hires years was about 93 mil lion pounds per annum. The total Importation r-1 tea in the three fiscal years following June aS0, ISnS, was 213,741,450 pounds; and In tho 'three fiscal jrars immediately preceding that date was S78i!0J,!tU pounds, Deducting the amount re-exported, tho net IpiporU stand; for the three jear following June 30, 1S0S, 211,010,547 pounds; for the three years immediately preceding June 0, ISPS, 273,015,001 pounds. This gives an aver ago Importation for consumption during tleose (wo periods of over Hi pounds per capita per annum in the three- ear period prior to June SO, JS98, and hut a little over 1 pound per capita per annum in thc.thrcc-v'car period following that date- This reduction In Hie importation of tea since the imposition of the custom duty upon that article has been accompanied by corre ipondlng liicr-'aie lu the importation of coffea. la the three scars' following June WV1SOS, th total Impcrtatli'U of coffee vu 2,47l,O0O,JS4 pounds, HaleU'iUi&T&S.oiO pound in tltt thica year Immediately preceding thai dale) and the pef capita imports for consumption for tho latter three years averaged 10.4 pounds per annum, com pared with 0.0 pounds for Hie three years prior to June 30, 1S08.

New York, April 18.-The varied activity of very largo speculative forces was still manifest in tho stock mitkct today. The movement of prices was cntiiely characteristic of an active specula tive movement under a well centred and aggres sive leadership. The dealings were on a larger scale than those of jesterday and progre-s was also made in the breadth of the movement and the variety of the stocks dealt in. Those stoUes which spurted late in the day jesterday and those which opened this morning with a vigorous up ward movement almost without exception were subjected to realizing today and closed the day wllh sin ill net gains below the best prices. This was notablj- true of Atchison and of the anthra cite coalers and was measurably true of slocks which showed periods of slrcngth later in the daj-. Ilroadlv speaking, the leadership of the ad vance was shifted to bt. Paul and then to Union l'.icllle, with a moderate response amongst the other southwcslerns and Pacifies. Southern Hall way and Louisville fell into the back ground again. The bituminous coal carriers enjojed a period of strength and there were a number of wide advances amongst M-attered industrials end specialties. Colorado Fuel was active and strong on n speculative supposition that absorption of thai company into the uniteu rairs necci cor poration line been assured as part of the settle ment of the control of Louisville and Nashville. International Power was extremely erratic but rose tin extreme 10',i. presumably on the divi (dend declaration j-estcrdiix-. There were gains of between 2 nnd S points in North American, Peo ple's Gas, the rubber goods stocks, New York Air Ilrake. the American PnulT stocks.

All the repair work and altera tions in the old store are nearing completion. In a few days we'll be in ship-shape. Beautiful Ail - Part of them were made American makers are fine on plain styles, and we avoid the duty when we buy from them, so that the Eton Jackets and Covert Cloth Jackets are American. ,, The Covert Cloth Jackets will be more worn than almost any of the others. We have a very good one for $7.50. Eton Jackets of broadcloth for $10, of black cheviot for $7.50 up to $13. 50, and from $10 up they are lined with silk. The Long Taffeta Coats at $15, with the sailor collars trimmed with lace, have the Paquin sleeve. At $20 thesilk is better, and there is a little bit more work. At $35 the silk and lace and the making are all better. It's going to be a great tan-covert year : though long taffeta coats will be nearly as popular. Women's Tailor-Made Suits $10, $13.50, $18, $20 and $25 How a tailor can get London Twine, cut and work and press a suit into good style, have it finished nicely for $10, is a mystery. Yet here the suits are, and suits of cheviot, besides, if you prefer them, for the same-price. The present styles cost a great deal to make: there are fancy touches, and the cloths are much more difficult ally used before. So $10 buys a better suit now than it did The tailoring isn't extraordinary uutil you reach $20. enough for anybody probably as good as a tailor would put to order. At $25 the tailor word is really tine, and above that the cost goesmore into tue material and the fancy trimmings than into anything else. Women's Novelties here are what over. This year we have more satisfy. Let s see what t-"o cents will buy: Women's Stockings, 50c Open-work boot and all-over design in black lisle some 30 styles. Red, blue and tan lisle, with open-work boot. Black lisle with open-work boot and embroidery. Black, blue and red lisle with silk clocks. Black lisle with silk embroidered instep. Ribbed black lisle with vertical embroidery and so on Men's Furnishings Shirts, Collars, Neckwear Exclusive things more than any other store in the country can show; and good things for little money. Not a man who can't get here what he wants, and more advantageously than at most places. $ 1 Shirts, stiff bosom percales, white madras negli gee and dress shirts, all made to our order, and better than you can buy elsewhere for $ 1 . Shirts that you can't buy anywhere else in America at any price, those for $2; are selling very fast Scotch Madras and Cheviot Shirts $2; so like custom-made shirts that you can hardly tell them apart. All shapes and sizes of 2liC linen collars, linen both sides. You should see the new style piccadilly. Special Neckwear for 50c, made in the new lolded square, a scarf that ties very well; the first time we've had it for less than $1.00. RAILROAD TIME TABLES. New Jersey Central.
