The committee on grounds were un- | able to negotiate for Riverside park, now devoted to a public playground, and the only other available place, ex- cept the Vose grounds, was a lot in | Beach street near the Moore Elastic Textile mill. This place was not as | desirable as the Vose property, as the | tents would have to be located on a | side hill and there would not be ade- | auate space for spectators. There the | hose reel races would have to be held | on the much traveled Watch Hill road, or on some street far removed from the muster field. The Joseoh Newall company, pro- | priteors of the Dalbeattie Granite | works, through Manager David McG. | Newell, has added to its possession what is believed to be the most pro- ductive pink granite quarry in the |town of Westerly. This quarry was opened several years ago, by William | Opie, James Hogg and Alexander Rob- | inson, now deceased, and opérated un- der the name of The Westerly Gran- | ite company, but the quarry was never | extensively worked owing to lack of | finance. The property eventually came |into the possession of the Duquid | brothers who have been operating it in | a comparatively small way. i This quarry is located between Vin- cent Carr hill and the Hopkinton | bridge. Investigation shows an im- mense quantity of the highest grade | of granite. The Newall company is in a position to work the quarry to its fullest development and, it Is believed | by those expert in the business that it will be come the leading quarry in | the town of granite quarries. The ac- tual transfer of owmership has not been effected but the Newall company has an option that will soon be closed. Richard J.

Imports into the United States in the year ex- ceeded $1,812,000,000 and exports from this country exceeded $2,465.000,000, making a balance of trade in our favor of over $652,900,000. The imports sur- passed those of the fiscal year 1912 by over $159,700,000 and the exports were more than $261,500,000 greater than | those of last year, i Our exports of manufactured and partly manufactured articles in the fiscal year 1913 exceeded $1,500,000 in value and show an increase of more than $168,000,000 over year. The greatest gain in our exports is in manufactures ready for consump- tion, in which class there was ‘an in- crease of more than $105,000,000 over 1912. There was alfo a substantial gain of over $60,000,000 in manufac- tures for further use in manufacturing but the increase in foodstuffs partly or Wwholly manufactured was only a little over $1,500,000. It is shown that the aggregate trade of the United States with Europe in the fiscal year just ended was over $2,371,000,000, or more than one-balf our total foreign tfade. This was di- vided into over $892,000,000 worth of imports and $1,479,000, 000 - worth of exports, a balance of trade in our favor of more than $586,000,000. The aggre- gate trade with the other countries of North America exceeded $979,000,000, of which over $361,900,000 were imports and over $617,400,000 were exports. The remainder of our foreign trade, amounting to about $825,000,000, was divided among Asla, South America, Oceania. and Agrica, in the order named. The United Kingdom maintains its position as our best customer, having purchased from us _over $597,000,000 and sold us over $295,000,000 in the year, an aggregate trade of more than $892,000,000. Our second best customer is Canada, which bought from us over $415,000,000 and sold us over $120,000,- 000, a total trade exceeding 3$5635,000,- 000. Third comes Germany, which bought from us over $331,00,000 and sold us only a little less than $189,- 000,000, an aggregate trade of more than $520,000,000.
