Curlously, the United Kingdom, the world's largest exporter of boots and shoes, 1s' also one of the largest customers for American boots and shoes.

The exportations of American boots and shoes to the United Kingdom show an average of nearly 1,000,000 pairs per annum, with an average valuation of $2 40 per pair, export price. Our Spanish-American friends are also large customers for American boots and shoes. They take, in fact, nearly one half of our boot and shoe exports, including in the term "Spanish-American" all the American countries lying south of the United States except the British, French, Danish and Dutch West Indies, and British, Dutch and French Guiana. Canada is also an important customer, though. the number of paints which she takes from the United States is less than that taken by Mexico, and but about one half the number taken by Cuba, Prices of boots and shoes sent to the tropics are apparently considerably lower than those sent to the countries of the temperate zone, the average export price of those sent to Cuba, for example, being but about $1 30 per pair; to Canada, $1 87, and to the United Kingdom, $2 40.

The principal European countries, other than the United Kingdom, which take American boots and shoes are Germany, France and Belgium, these four countries having taken in the fiscal year 1908 as follows: The United Kingdom, 817,302 pairs; Germany, 211.153 pairs; France, 73,654 pairs, and Belgium, 82,206 pairs, while the total number exported to all of the remainder of Europe was 107,334 pairs. is not a large customer for our boots and shoes, the principal reason being that comparatively few of the people of that part of the world wear boots or shoes of the type made in the United States. Oceania is a much larger customer, the total number of pairs exported thereto from the United States in 1908 having been 490.566 against 40,242 sent to all Asia and 68,467 pairs sent to all Africa. Of the 490,566 pairs credited to Oceania', 350,389 went to the Philippine Islands and 137,000 to British Australasia, by which term is meant Australia, New Zealand and certain smaller South Pacific islands now under British control.

In this American contribution to the wants 'of and requirements of mankind the growth in recent years has been rapid: In 1878 the number of pairs of boots and shoes exported from the United States was but 000; in.

BUSINESS. Steel Trade Is Cheered By Reported Adjustment of the Rail Controversy. Pennsylvania Is Expected To Place Big Order Soon. Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers Will Abolish Selling Sample Allowances To Jobbers. 3,000 tons a day.

Present inquiries seem to call for about 20,000 tons of foundry irons and 20,000 tons of basic iron. The interest in heavy steel melting scrap continues, and consumers are obliged to pay more for that material than for basic iron, which tends to help the pig metal market. Accumulation of old material in the hands of dealers in all sections is estimated at 400,000 tons to 500.000 tons. This would quickly disappear with any sharp revival in steel business. The periodical rumor that Marshall Field of Chicago, will establish a large commission house in New York is circulating in the dry goods district.

The firm now has a branch office here, but that is connected with its present wholesale and retail trade. The American Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers at its annual meeting voted heavily in favor of the complete abolition of the selling sample allowance privilege heretofore granted the jobber. A resolution to discourage the pirating of styles was also adopted. The trade in woolens and worsteds is -more or less affected by the agitation in favor of a revision of the tariff schedule, but cotton goods rule steady to firm. The further advance in 28-inch standard print cloths to 3 7-16c for delivery during the first quarter of next year has not brought out as many offerings as were hoped for, and not a few manufacturers are asking a price of Bar silver reacted slightly again to-day, and a prominent mining authority figures that in the event of the silver price getting down a little further many mines now operating will suspend, as have many of the low-grade ore properties already.

Copper metal was unchanged in this market, but declined 15s per ton in London. Among the buyers from the Ohio and adjacent districts arrived in this market are S. Wilson, of Phillipsborns; W. S. Berry and H.

New York, December most satisfactory news that has come, to the steel trade since the announcement of the result of the general election a month ago appeared in the form of a statement which, though not officially made, is accepted as well founded in quarters well informed on developments in steel, that the United States Steel Corporation and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had come to a final and positive agreement as to quality and prices for steel rails.

For more than a year these two interests have been in controversy, and as a consequence not only the rail orders of the Pennsylvania but those of 8 great many other systems have been held up. The announcement made to-day affects not only the business of the Pennsylvania but that of a great many other railroads which have stood with the Pennsylvania during its contentions. It would also tend to confirm the reports received from Pittsburg yesterday to the effect that the final closing of some large railroad orders was imminent. The disagreement between the Pennsylvania and the big steel company has been over the price. The new rails specifled by the Pennsylvania is a higher cost rail than the one formerly specifled, but the Pennsylvania has demanded that it be made at the old price of $28, while the steel company has asked for an advance.

Both parties made concessions in the settlement, the steel company agreeing to make the rails at $28 a ton on condition that the buyer also take the "seconds" at the same price. The conditions named in the new specifications are such that the terms of the agreement practically provide a concession in the price of ra'lls. It is expected that the Pennsylvania will shortly order upwards of 150,000 tons of rails for next year and that early orders from other railroads will make up an aggregate of $12,000,000 of new business in rails. Business in structural steel continues fair and negotiations for the 60,000 tons of steel to go into the Equitable Life Building here have been tentatively undertaken. SOME ACTIVITY IN IRON.

There is some business going forward in the Eastern iron market, and recent transactions averaging' an aggregate of about tomorrow will say: "Weather conditions have been irregular, the arrival of a cold wave following unseasonably mild temperature has stimulated retail trade North, West and East, and even helped business at the South at some points, though holding of cotton and low prices therefor have tended to check buying in the cotton belt as a whole. Collections have shared in the irregularity trade, and there is noticeable more complaint as to those than as to business generally, more particularly at the South. Heavy wearing apparel, shoes and coal have been helped by climatic developments. Holiday trade, too, shows signs of expansion, and comparisons with a year ago lines are naturally in favor of current business. In some lines of wholesale trade there are evidences of more quiet conditions.

Thus, in raw wool, leather and some lines of cotton and iron and steel there rather less doing. partly because of bustness recently booked and partly because desire to see what the next month 80 will bring forth, and also because recent advances in many prices. Many early spring trade wants have, in fact, been filled, and there is still some conservative conservatism as to buying ahead, more particularly as the tariff situation is still subject of Congressional Inquiry. In manufacturing there are no evidences of halting In the tendency toward expansion of output previously noted, and the preparations made or making in this line give signs of a large trade being looked for in 1909. "Business failures in the United States the week ending December 3 number against 193 last week, 222 in the like week of 1907, 216 in 1906, 203 in 1905 and 231 1904.

Business failures in Canada were against 35 last week and 26 last year. "Wheat (including flour) exports from United States and Canada for the week ending December 3 aggregate 6,106,258 bush, against 4,936,242 bush last week and 241 bush this week last year. For 23 weeks ending December 3 this year exports are 100,426,054 bush against 96.675,- 059 bush in the corresponding period year. Corn exports for the week are 1.806,- 290 bush against 864,609 bush last week 1.187,276 bush in 1907. For the 23 weeks ending December 3 corn exports are 675 bush against 21,664,347 bush last year." CHANGE OF TEMPERATURE Has a Stimulating Effect on Trade at All Points.

New York, December 4-Bradstreet's weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Industrial activity is maintained except where it is customary to limit operations for inventories at this ceason. Shoe fatetories receive much forward business, wholesalers ant'elpating higher prices in keeping with the persistent upward tend- SLOW BUT SURE Is the Improvement in Nearly All Lines of Industry.

REDUCED CAPITAL. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Louisville, December 4. -The stockholders of the Inter-Southern Life Insurance Company to-day reduced the capital stock of the company from $250.000 to 000. Favorable action was taken upon the proposition of the Fidelity and Guarantee Company to act in the capacity of general agents for the Inter-Southern.

The Inter-Southern Life was organized in May, 1006, and began business April 1, 1907, with a capital stock of $250,000, about 000 of which was paid in. As there was no surplus the money which was spent by the company in the conduct of reduction its of business the amounts practically to a capital stock.

Recent advances in pig iron are held, although there is less pressure to provide for the needs of 1909, while the steel Industry is almost normal except for the big railroad contracts that are still deferred. Commercial payments are gradually improving.

Inadequate water supply retards WOrK at woolen and pulp mills in New England, coke ovens at Connellsville and various other Industrial plants, while lake navigation is about closed for the season. Dry goods market conditions are more quiet, although there no evidence of weakness in some Ines. There is the usual lull that appears in December, while in other departments the position of the raw material 1s a disturbing factor. It is also. noted that there is less complaint of difficulty experienced in securing deliveries as desired.

There is steady demand for cotton goods from buyers who have refused to operate beyond immediate needs. Export business is still handicapped by the depression in the silver market. Shipments of shirting prints to Manila are recorded, and Red Sea buyers make bids below the market, which attracts little business. Improvement continues in the demand for wools, although orders are unevenly distributed. The market has advanced sufficiently to render it certatn that most reorders will command higher prices than original contracts.

Strength in the domestic hide market 18 fully sustained. Consumption of leather is not on a more liberal scale, although sales are only fair because all large buyers covered their requirements for the half year before the last advance. Footwear salesmen report improved conditions among jobbers and retailers, and the producers receive substantial orders, heavy goods wholesalers placing contracts in anticipation of an advance in prices proportioned to the rise in materials. OCTOBER CLEARINGS Reflect Heavy Increase of Business Through the Banks. Bank cleafings for November reflect increase in the volume of payments through the banks, not only at New York where stock market operations, were heavy, adding materially to the volof bank settlements there, but at many the leading cities in all sections of the country total bank exchanges for the month year at all cities reporting in the States, embracing more than 100 of leading cities, according to the monthly statement of R.

G. Dun being 968,188,633, against $9,660,418,339 in Novemlast year, when financial operations greatly disturbed, and $13,670,407,795 the corresponding month of 1906. The comparison with last year serves chiefly to emphasize the depression existing then. One business day in the month this year (there being five Sundays) affects the comparison unfavorably; average. daily figures the month, $563,834,000, compare, with $569,600,000 for November, 1908, a period normal trade activity.

The noteworthy improvement is in the West, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City many other centers showing gains over A small increase appears at some leading cities in New England. Exchanges New York City-are practically the same in November, 1906, though speculative dealings in stocks were fully 50 per cent greater this year. There is a considerable decrease at Philadelphia, Pittsburg and some other important iron centers.

Baltimore, New Orleans and other leading cities the South report considerable losses; also Francisco and other Pacific coast points. The improvement since the early months of the year is shown in the average daily bank exchanges cities in the United States given below. Under normal conditions the volume bank clearings reaches the low point of year in August and the highest averages in the late fall, the winter and spring months. The loss this year averaged fully per cent until midsummer; the Novemfigures are well above all preceding months this year. Comparison is made low of bank exchanges by.

The quarterly meeting of the Directors of Columbia Gas and Electric Company held yesterday in the local office of the company, In the First National Bank BuildUpon the recommendation of Chief Engineer Lamping, who has charge of the construction of the natural gas pipe line, route into Cincinnati was changed the original plan of coming through Newport and crossing the Central bridge. Instead, the line will come down to Alexandria and enter Cincinnati via Latonia, Covington and the C. and 0. bridge. The will cross under the Licking River, near old fair grounds, and on this side of river will be carried directly into the Front street plant of the Union Gas and Electric Company.

On the hills just back of Covington there will be erected a reducing station by the Columbia Company, into which the main line will run, and the pressure be reduced from 20 pounds to about 6 pounds, at which strength it will be sent across the river Union Gas Company. That company will in turn reduce the pressure down between four and six ounces, the consuming pressure for the gas. The main line between this city and the West Virginia gas fields is 160 miles in length, and 20 inches diameter. This will be fed by about miles of field lines, which gather the gas from the wells in the producing district. There is one compression station for the distance, it being located on the line where crosses the Kanawha River, and It will send the gas from that point to the cing station on the hills back of Covington, with an indicated pressure of 325 pounds at the compression station.

The pressure on the main line end at the over-the-river reducing station will vary from 20 pounds upward, depending, upon the amount of consumed. A. S. White, President of the company, was all smiles after the meeting. going some," he said, "with this pipe line, and we are going to complete it months ahead of our contract.

Our contract calls for September 1, 1909.

The resignation of Charles P. Taft as a Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors was received and accepted. He resigns because of his to separate himself from all public service corporations in preparation for his intended future political activity.

J. Alvin Young, of New York, President of the Windsor Trust Company, was elected to fill the vacancy for Director, but the position of Chairman of the board was abolished, throwing the management of the company on Archibald S. White, the President. The board also ordered the transfer from the treasury of the company to the Wind-' sor Trust Company, of New York, of about $300,000, with which to meet the interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness of the company, due in semi-annual payment on January 1.

The Directors of Swift Co.

have declared the customary quarterly dividend of per cent on the stock, payable January 4, to stockholders 'of record December 17. The contest between the factions in the local produce commission' market is costing consumers of eggs a pretty sum. Logically Cincinnati quotations should be lower than those of Pittsburg, but yesterday the price here was advanced to cents a dozen, while the Pittsburg quotations were but 34635 cents. Dealers say the Cincinnati market should be two cents below Pittaburg because of being further from the great centers of egg consumption and equally near the source of production. The Western Underwriter says: "The London Lloyds have issued a policy to the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company covering warerooms for $1,000,000 without coinsurance clauses, limiting liability in any one fire to $50,000, at a rate of 1 per cent.

This business was previously written in the stock companies at an average tariff rate of $2 20, with the 80 per cent co-insurance clause."
