Mr. Zangwlll holds that at present
It will be Impossible for the Jewa to
get possession of Palestine, their an
cient scat, for the sultan cannot be
Induced to grant a charier carrying
with n political rlghta. Therefore he
would turn elsewhere for a provisional
Palestine, believing (hat any tarrltory
under a Jewish flag would become a
rallying point for Zionism, a training

of political Influence, nnd a nursery of
emigrants for Palestine when the lat

No doubt England would proflt by

also that If successfully established It

likely tn appeal forcibly to American

Has Reached Larger Proportions Than
Any Other Year—Feature* of the
Cotton Trade.
Commerce between the United States
and China In the ten months ending with
Oct., 1904. shows a larger total. lv>th in
Imports and exportn. than In the corre
sponding months of any earlier year. The
October reports Issued by the department
of commerce and labor, through Its
bureau of statistics show the total Im
ports Into the United States ftom China
during the ten months ending with Oct
1904, at $23,993,324, which exceeds by
more than $3,000,000 the largest total in
the corresponding period of any earlier
year; and the exports from the United
States to China In the ten months ending
with Oct., 1904. $20,557,184, which ex
ceeds by about one-half million dollars
the largest total In the corresponding
period of any earlier year. Tills Is cepe-
dally interesting In view of ths fact that
trade with Chino, particularly ns relates
to exports to that country, lias been ma
terially reduced during the past one or
two years, due presumably to the hostili
ties In progress ir. that part of the world.
The export* from the United States to
the Chinese Empire. which rjprhed $24.-
722.906 in the fiscal year 1902, fell to $18,-
898,163 In the fiscal year 1903 and to $12,-
862,432 in tiie fiscal year 1904. The fact
that the figures for the ten months end
ing with Oct.. 1904. show ti larger total
than those for the corresponding ten
months of 1902, the. period at which the
fiscal year figures show their largest total,
suggests a very rapid increase in our ex
ports to China in the row months aub-
nequent to the termination of the last
fiscal year, end this suggestion Is sua-
tnined by the figures of our exports to
Chinn during recent months, hs shown by
tin* reports of Ihe bureau of statistic*.
fn the month of Oct.. 1904. for example,
the total value of merchandise exported
from the United Rtntes to China was $3.-
846.803. against $1 324.335 In October of
1903. In f'ept., 1904. our exports to China
amounted to $2,962,338, against $839,024
in Sept, of 1903. In August. 1904, our *x-
. $4,074 ‘
AC3N\GA££2
port* to China were $4,074,794, against
$604.744 in August of 1903. nnd In July.
1904. the value of merchandise exported
from the United Staten to China was
$1,924 680, against $915,010 in July of the
preceding year. Thus In the months of
July. August, tfept., and October. 1904,
the value of merchandise exported from
the United States to China was $12.82*.-
613. ngainst $3.4*7.313 In the correspond
ing months of the preceding year.
This rapid Increase in our expo'
to China In the last few month* M
to strengthen the belief expressed .during
the last year that the fall in exports to
that country waa temporary and due to
the special conditions prevailing In that
section of the world, and especially In the
northern part of China, which had been
looked upon ns the final destination of a
large part of the merchandise from the
United State*, and especially cotton
goods. The latest figures of the bureau
of statistics show that the exports of
cotton goods to China have greatly In
creased In recent months.
In the month of Oct., 19A4. cotton cloth
exported from the United States to Chins
amounted to 43.843.633 yards, against 9,-
070.600 yards In Oct. of the preceding
year; in Sept., 1904. the number of yards
of American cotton cloth exported to
China wns 20.S95.20fl'against 3,277.050 In
Sept, of the preceding year, while for
August, 1904, the figures were 44.247.094
yards, against 4.096.161 yards In August
of the preceding year. This brings the
total value of ootton cloths exported from
the United States to China in the ten
months ending with Oct.. 1904. up to
$9,657,707. against $3,602,363 In the cor
responding months of the preceding year.
In mineral oil the increase is still great
er, the exports from the United States In
the ten months ending with Oct., 1904,
being $6,478,668, against $1,134,058 In the
corresponding months of 1902, and $2,415..
472 in the corresponding months of 1902.
In quantity the exports of mineral oil to
China in the ten months ending with
Oct.. 1904, were 61.496,2X4 gallons, against
16,963.664 gallons in the corresponding
months of fast year nnd 28.503,282 — ** —

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—Like "a bolt
from th* blue'' the crash in Wall street
came when least expected and when nil
med serene. The truth is, the mnr
! was ripe for a break. For weeks and
months stocks continued lo rise without
Interruption until speculation, overstimu
lated by Increasingly favorable outside
ondltlona, carried the market up to the
point of collapse, tfentirnent everywhere
was so overwhelmingly bullish that wenk
spots were Ignored and a situation oreat-
where only a shock of some sort was
needed to force wholesale liquidation.
This shock came In the form of an at
tack upon Amalgamated Copper, which
promptly exposed the weakened condition
of the whole market. Stocks, It was then
seen, had passed from strong Into weak
hands. The big m*n who bought freely
at the low prices of 1**2 h?«a disposed
very largely of their holdings, and when
tho crash came there was little or no
support from thla quarter. Liquidation
of overbought accounts became Impera
tive. and prices were so huh that no
substantial buyers could be found except
at such heavy declines jui exhausted wenk
margins end frightened timid holders out
of their sensen. The decline was, of
course, accompanied by the uaual supply
of unsettling rumors and Intensified by
the trading dement, who always push a
movement In either direction »o tho ut
most. cine thing Is clear: the financial
atmosphere has been much clarified by
