Krcfcnuo In Imports.
In (umraarltlng the foreign trade the re
vlow declares that there has been a fall
ing, off In ttlo demand abroad for American
lrin, steel and copper, a loss In profits In
cotton exports owing to the decline in
price, o, reduction In the exports of corn
arid oats, pbenomlnal wheat shipments and
larger shipments of animals and provisions.
Exports arc estimated at $1, 135,000,000,
or 1 per cent less than the record of last
year. This calculation treats Torto Klco
and Hnwjll as American territory. As to
Imports, the review declares":
"Imports havo gained slightly they will
aggregate at least 1876,000,000, a gain of h.'i
pof- cenf over 1900, leaving tho bata..ce ot
domestic exports over import not far from
3fi0,000, or tho third, largest excess In thu
country's history."
The review states that, tho activity In
transportation was Unprecedented. The
outlook Is stated, In conclusion, aa follows.
TrniiKportntlmi Unprecedented.
"Many elements of strength, 'and some of
the opposite character, present themselves
to view. Tho quietness of export trade,
checked by relatively higher prices hero
and lack of new demand abrond, particu
larly In (Jirtnnny, which country la reported
selling1 Iron and steel products below cost,
aro obstacles to Increased shipments by
this coiint.y. On tho other hand, English
trades advices aru rather butter and .the
predicted early suspension ot'boslllltlcB In
Houth Africa nod thtf resumption of large
gold shipments from that section are favor
able features- presenting themselves. Eur
opo apparently must buy our wheat and
cotton freecly, but as long as domestic ac
tivity In trade, particularly Iron and stceU
continues, tho need of a foreign outlet Is
not regarded as pressing.
"If only a portion of tho high hopes In
dulged In -us a result of the recent confer
ences ot capital and labor materialize In
dustrial pouco and, through this sustained
commercial good feeling and prosperity,
will havo been powerfully furthered."

heart trouble. Senator Scwcll'B Illness had
extended over a period of two years, but
his condition was not considered Berlous
until about n year ago. His constant at
tention to the duties devolving upon him In
his official capacity resulted, In 1S99, In a
collapse. A trip to Uuropo was beneficial
and he Boon recovered sufficiently to resume
hlo duties. Toward tho end of tho last
session of congress ho dovelopcd ft com
plication of diseases, and, acting on tho
advlco of his physicians, again visited vari
ous health resorts In Europe. Upon his
return, his condition showing no Improve
ment, Senator Sewoll went to Ashcvllle,
N. C, where ho remained two months. Ho
returned to his homo about four weeks ago
and for a few days a Blight IniDrovemcnt In
his condition was noted. Within tho past
two weeks a succession .of sinking spells
greatly weakened him and compelled his
physicians to abandon tho hopo of prolong

known as a "Santa Anna," and carried with
It lino dust from the desert to the cast that
filled tho air and obscured ' tho vision at
distances of moro than a few hundred
yards. Ilcporls from surrounding towns say
mucu uamago is wrought by the wind to
oranges and somo damage to small "build
ings. Railway traffic Is delayed and In
801110 Instances entirely obstructed.
The storm is heaviest In tho vicinity of
