In nearly all of the great classes of goods for which our producers are seek- ing a market abroad, the October exporta. tions to the united kingdom from the Unit ed States were in excess of those in preced ing years, while the imports of manufac- tures from the united kincdom were in most Cases smaller than those in earlier Products Sent to England. prices in the country.

On the other hand, cur imports from Great Sritain are in nearly all cases smaller than in October, 1806, and In many c smaller than in October, 1897, despite the fact that they were abnormally small in that month because of the excessive importations in the months just preceding the enactment of the revente law in July of that year.

Shafter Talks of the Part He Took in the War. Declares He Made a Mistake in Mak- ing an Attack on Et Caney. General Shafter was the principal guest at a banquet given at Delmonico’s last night by the Sons of the Revolution of the State of New York. In the course of a speech he said: wish to say something about the late war, about the success in Cuba. In San go there was no rancor or enmity between the Spanish and American forces. They flocked together thicker than fleas, if I may use the term.

He then detailed the main events leading up to his campaign as follow: “War was declared iz April, at the be- ginning of the sickly season in Cuba. It was the expressed intention of the Presi- dent—and he told me so himself—to delay the war until after that season, no matter All Dealers Have ' A PRONGUNCED a8 SUCCESS The New Plan Adopted by Phy- sicians TO PREVENT THE FURTHER SPREAD OF RONCHT IS, CATARRE, PNEUMONIA AND CONSUMPTION.
