Will Be Shown When August Exports Are Analyzed. Washington, Sept. 21.?Possibili' ties of the far-reaching effect of the European war upon American trade r ^re indicated in a review of consular 9 reports published today by the department of commerce. The United States furnished 20 per i cent, of the three billion dollars' worth of foreign products bought by Great Britain in 1912; 15 per cent. . of Germany's two and a half billion dollars' worth of imports, and 11 per cent, of the billion and a half dollars' ( worth of products bought by France. To what extent trade has been interrupted by war will be determined ' in a measure when the details of August's exports are compiled later this month. The total value of the * exports was $110,337,545, compared 1 with $187,909,020 one year ago. What part of that decrease was > caused by war has not been worked t out. Other nations involved in the Eu, J ropean conflict buy much of their im[ | ports from the United States. Eight , per cent, of Belgium's purchases in f 1912, amounting to nearly $1,000,t 000,000, came from American ports. The consular figures show that of the products worth $308,000,000 imported into Brazil in 1912 only 15 per cent, came from the United States, although 40 per cent, of Brazil's exports were sent to American ports. Would Correct His Mistake. An official of the department of - agriculture connected with the bureau of chemistry, tells of a dealer in California who was accused of selling a wine made of chemicals. He , was haled into court, found guilty, t and fined.# > When the matter had been adjusted the dealer approached the chemist whose testimony had convicted I him. "How did you know that my wine i was manufactured?" he asked. "Because." explained the chemist, ; "it contained no bitartrate of potash. ' In natural wines bitartrate of potash '! is always found." I '"Thanks." said the vintner, in a tone of relief. "It will be found in my wines hereafter."?New York Evening Post. ) Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perserverance.? I Johnson.
