A RECORD YEAR'S TRADE. THE year has opened badly for those Protec- tionists who go about the country telling us that the trade of Great Britain is menaced by the foreigner, and that it is only a question of time before we must yield pride of place to a Protectionist country. For those who recite this dismal creed the actual facts respecting the foreign commerce of the country as con- tained in the December issue of the Board of Trade returns must constitute perplexing reading. Instead of finding evidence in support of Mr. Chamberlain's theory of dwindling commerce with our foreign customers, we actually find abundant proof that the country was never at any former period of its history transacting a foreign trade upon such an enormous scale. Only the day before these striking figures were published Mr. Walter Long was assuring his constituents at Bristol that "there was good reason to believe that the trades of the country were not holding their own yet hardly was that oracular sentence uttered than the cold truth comes into the light, and com- pletely demolishes his doleful speculations. Not only Mr. Long but his colleagues will have a hard task set them to explain away the fact that British foreign trade in IHO: created a record in point of volume. WHICHEVER way they are looked at. the impression conveyed by the Board of Trade returns is equally encouraging. In the first el r, piace, the value of our foreign trade of total exports readied the highest point ever recorded. Next, even if shirs and coal be deducted to meet the rigorous demands of our Protectionist frionds.the result is just the fame. But, says the Protectionist, the true standard of prosperity is the quantity of manufactured goods which we send abroad. Let no Free Trader shirk tho issue; for once more our exports of manufactured articles only have created a new record in British industrial annals. Compared with the year 190(1, which established the last high-water mark' in regard to our foreign trade, and allow- ing, as our Protectionist friends insist, for the famine price of coal in the former yeir, otir total exi.orts shew an advance of £ 4,000,000. When Mr. Chamberlain's followers wish to make a comparison to shew that our trade has fallen off within the last thirty years they invariably choose the year 1872, because it was in that year that values were artificially swollen by the Franco-German War. But while our total exports in that year were J:j(j, 000, 000, last year's trade carried the figure to £ 287,000,000. Were the prices of commodities to-day at the same level as those prevailing in 1873, the value of our exports last year would have been at least £ '430,000,000 fiterling. UNDER one hend ill particular we find facts that must I. poeunarly discomposing to the Protectionist maid. Looking closely into the figures with regard to our export of manufac- tured goods, we should naturally expect to find, if the Protectionist contention be correct, that our exports of late years have been artificially swollen by coal sliipiiiutits;aii(I a marked falling- •<<IT in our export of manufactured articles. But what do we actually find ? That during 1903 we sent abroad £ 7, ">00,000 worth more manufactured goods than in the preceding year. Nor are the facts any kinder to the theory of the Chamberlainites that our expan- sion of trade is solely with the Colonies, while our trade with protected markets is declining. The truth is that our exports to Australia, under the new tariff, are shrinking boots and a shoes, for example, which went there in 1901 to the value of £ 223, oltj, fell off last year to £ 120,414. On the other hand, the United States increased their purchases I from us in woollans, pig-iron, cutlery, cotton, linen, earthenware and machinery. Hut, insist the Protectionists, we are buying far moie manufactured goods from the foreigner than we send to him, and thus the British workman is being deprived of employ- went. Again, what do the figures tell us on I this point r That while we sold to the foreigner £ 7,090,000 worth more of manu- j factured goods, we purchased from him only £ 2,000,000 worth more. Surely this is a I "balance of trade" which should carry comfort to the most doleful of our Fiscal Jerimiahs. 1 W ilEN we turn to the particular industries which of Jato have been selected as examples pf the ruinous effects of foreign tariffs upon liritish trade, the same cheerful conclusions assert themselves. Were we not told at 'Glasgow that our iron trade is "going ? So it is—going strong. For against C25,000,000 worth which we exported two years ago, and the £ 28,500,000 worth which we sent abroad last year, has now to be placed £ 30,250,000 worth to the credit of 1903. Upon the same authority we were assured that" wool is threatened." Woll, we exported last year £:!tí,OW.OOO worth of wool as compared with £ 21,000,000 worth two years ago; and our exports of these goods to the United States, which Mr. Balfour told us had been com- pletely destroyed, have touched the highest figure since the Dingley Tariff camo into operation. Cotton, despite the crisis caused by the American "corner," only just fell short of the figure for 1901. Is it glass and earthen- ware that is ruined ? Here, again, our foreign trade is increasing. Boots and shoes shew a large decrease in the consumption of foreign goods, and a wall-maintained trade in the exports, despite the falling-off in the ship- ment for the South African garrison. Where in all this can the chivied Protectionist find a door of escape from his embarrassing theories ? NOTHING could well be more satisfactory, from the Free Trade point of view, than this gratifying proof of the continued vitality of British industries and their ability not merely to maintain their ground, but to improve their position in foreign markets. At the same time, it would be a mistake to conclude that because the foreign trade is brisk the trade of the country is good. On the contrary, there is abundant evidence that the home trade is more depressed than has been the case for some time past. How, indeed, could it be otherwise, when the consumers are burdened by the expenditure upon one of the costliest wars in history V Every trade in the land is ee 'ng, and must continue to feel, the effects -i ii V?ht Mlms w]lich before the war were available for circulation amongst the trades- men, but which are now diverted from the pockets of every class into the exchequer of the Government. There can, in the nature of things, be no great stimulus to our home trade—which is computed to represent at least four-fifths of the total production of the country—until a substantial reduction is made in the colossal expenditure of the Government. Hence Free Traders will have to keep in mind that, important as may be the task of defend- ing the commercial policy of the country, the duty of enforcing a wise retrenchment in national expenditure is not less urgent.

31R. CHAMBERLAIN ON COLONIAL TRADE. Mr. Chamberlain, speaking at the annual dinner of the Birmingham Jewellers' Association on Monday night, referred to the South African war. In repairing the ravages of that war, he said, we had not. been unsuccessful. Though there had been a check in the development of the country, he believed that it would only be temporary, since the difficul- ties were not beyond the powers of British states- manship. In the South African war the existence of the Empire was at stake. It was a question whether the great sub-con! incut of South Africa should be governed under the British Hag or con- trolled by a corrupt oligarchy hostile to British ideas. In coming to our assistance in that, war the Colonies understood that there was something more than mere provincialism, and that they could all work for a great Empire. The time had gone by when we could consider the Colonies as negligible quantities, and we must take them more and more into our confidence. We had an Empire in which th-rc were all the elements of strength, but they were in solution, and had now to be crystallised. He had come to the conclusion that the policy he proposed, no doubt mainly because it would tend to unite the Empire, was also the one likely to conduce to general prosperity. e had only maintained our commercial position because, while we had lost the foreign trade, we had gained the Colonial trade. But for "the Colonial trade the country would have had the worst depression of trade known for a century. Would the Colonial trade continue to increase ? He thought not. Tariffs would be erected, and British goods would be shut out: and at the same time we were threatened with competition in the Colonies by the protected countries. And then there was the home market. Could we retain that it llIight lw possible that we should be richer if we became a mere dis- tributing centre—if we became a home of millionaires; but if richer, should we be stronger? Ki). The retention of the home market was essential, said plainly: "You are living in a fool's ,0 radise." They were told that if they adopted Protection the cost of production would be increased, and they would not be able to compete with other nations in the markets of the world; but France, Germany, and the United States had Protection, and yet they competed with us it, our own markets. Not a limpet clung to his rock more closely than the Radical clung to the wis(lolyiof nis ancestors. But now they were to whisper retaliation. Even Sir William Ilarcourt n,iU discovered, after an interview with his con- SDUients, that dumping was a thing to b0 considered. litit their opponents would not admit that anything £ tX! the fw'lln8' of the Colonies. There the ]jl n(^er anc* budding Imperialist lay v together. They were equal to wrecking a Croveminent, but they could not construct an hmpno. I lie future of the race depended upon the wa\ in wnich they met the invitation extended to them by the Colonies. (Cheers.)

A YOUNG ACTRESS'S SUICIDE. At Westminster an inquest has been held on the body of Naomi Carrell, an actress, of Claverton- street, who committed suicide under sad circum- 1 stances. Mrs. Isabel Carrell, the mother, stated I that her daughter was twenty-eight years of age, < and was unmarried. She was an actress. During the past eighteen months she had been engaged at I Terry's Theatre, but she had heard her engagement was coming to an end. Since last July she had 1 suftered from severe mental depression, and had been under medical attendance. In a letter she left she expressed the fear of going out of her mind.— The jury returned a verdict of suicide during temporary insanity. j

The body of Mr. Arthur Edward Niblett, J.P., t was found on Monday morning on the lawn of his y residence, The Lypiatts, Cheltenham. Deceased had apparently committed suicide by shooting himself. Mr. Niblett was a Gloucestershire magistrate, and ] formerly lived at Haresiield, near Gloucester, He ] Was about fifty years of In the village of Wroughton, near Swindon, with 1 1; a population of 4,000 people, there was not a single burial during the last quarter of 1903. Two sisters died in Liverpool on Saturday within a few hours of each other, one being killed by falling downstairs and the other by shock. British wheat sold last week at an average price of 26s. 6d. per quarter, being an increase of Is. 7d. over the price in the corresponding week of 1903.

I YvHITAKEl; WEIGHT CASE. I OPENING OF THE TRIAL. In the King's Bench Division, before Mr. Justice Bigham and a special jury, the trial was begur I on Monday of Mr. Whitaker Wright, who stanch indicted that he, in tho City of London, being a director and manager of a certain public company, I called the London and Globe Finance Corporation (Limited), unlawfully did make, circulate, and jiublish and concur in making, circulating, and publishing certain written statements of accounts which he knew to be false in certain material par- ticulars with intent to deceive and defraud the members, shareholders, and creditors of the said public company—to wit, in or about the month of October, 1899, a report and statement of accounts for a period ended September 30th. 1899. and in or about the month of December, 1900, another report, and statement of account for a period ended December 5th, 1900. Mr. Rufus Isaacs, K.C., Mr. Horace Avory, K.C., Mr. Guy Stephenson, and Mr. Kenneth E. Chalmers appeared for the prosecution those concerned for the defence being Mr. Lawson Walton, K.C., Mr. R. D. Muir, and Mr. Cassell. Mr. Bodkin held a watching brief for Mr. Leman, who was a director of the company, and who represented Lord Dufferin on the board and Mr. Percy C. Simmons repre- sented Mr. John Flower and the Prosecution Fund Committee. Mr. Rufus Isaacs, who opened the case, said the charges might be summarised as the making of false statements in writing, the falsity of which was known to the defendant when he made them, and that he made them with the intention of deceiving or defrauding shareholders or creditors. He urged the jury to keep their minds clear of any comments in tho public Press and any remarks made in the House of Commons, urging that the case was to be tried absolutely upon the evidence and from the view of the law that the learned judge would take, and declaring that it would be a scandal and a disgrace if no offence had been committed in law. He explained that the defendant was managing director of the London and Globe Finance Corporation, the British America Corporation, and the Standard Ex- ploration (Limited), with a capital to the extent of £5,COO,000, which had been absolutely and irre- trievably lost. Proceeding to state the circum- stances of the origin of these companies, he stated that when the LonSon and Globe Company was formed the defendant was entitled to 610,000 shares of iEl each, and to him were allotted 321,925 £1 shares as founders' shares; and he also acquired 67,650 more shares, so that his total holding was 389,576. At the end of 1900. when the winding-up took place, his 67,650 shares were represented by 2,500; his 321,925 shares had gone into the names of nominees, and had been transferred. The only shares he held at the winding-up in respect of the 321,925 were three shares held by one of the nominees. Mr. Wright, said Mr. Isaacs, was managing director of the London and Globe Finance Corpora- tion, and its ruling spirit from beginning to end of the transactions which were the subject of trial. He had complete control of all the London and Globe matters, and, although there was a board of directors, Mr. Wright was the moving spirit in all the transactions, and the board never appeared to have taken any substantial part in controlling the affairs of the company, mostly meeting to pass resolutions which Mr. Wright desired them to pass, in order to carry out the various transactions into which he had entered. The British America Corpora- tion, which was formed in October, 1897, had a capital of £ 1,500,000. Its purpose was ostensibly to buy some rroperty which the London and Globe held. In February, 1898, the Standard Exploration Company was formed, but was not issued until March, 1899. It also had a capital of LI,500,000, and there was no reason for its formation either except as an adjunct to the manipulations which were being carried on. The business done was always by the same hand and head. Mr. Whitaker Wright was managing director of the British America Corporation, and there were directors common to that and to the other companies of the Standard Exploration Com- pany. Mr. Wright was again managing director, while there were also common directors. Mr. Wright was managing director of all three com- panies, and he was also Chairman of the Standard Exploration. From 1897 to December, 1900, the London and Globe, that was to say, Mr. Wright, sold shares to the British America Corporation, the purchaser being Mr. Wright. The same mind which directed the sale was the mind which directed the purchase. It was difficult to understand the reason until the balance-sheets were examined. They got this state of things throughout the transaction—the disposing by Mr. Wriirht of shares involving hundreds of thousands of ) cu ids without minutes of the transactions in moat cases. Iteal transactions there certainly were not, but the effect of such dealings when successfully manipulated 011 the books was a very important matter in the balance-sheet. It enabled the London and Globe to get rid of large blocks of shares at pHces for cash wnich figured in the balance-sheet as cash, the shares being passed to the Standard Exploration Company or the British Auiferica, Slid theft; hi most cases, befug p&s&td bftCK again after the London and Globe kalance-sheet had been passed by the shareholders. The London and (i lobe balance-sheet presented to the world at large, to the shareholders, and to the creditors a state of things which was absolutely false, and that must have been done with the knowledge of Mr. Wright. Counsel went 011 to point out that the law of the land was very clear in regard to the publishing of false statements, the making of false entries in the books of public companies, and such matters. If Mr. Wright's statements were false and he knew it, the irresistible deduction was that he published them with the intention of deceiving and defrauding the public. Mr. Isaacs' opening ocrupied, the- whole of the day. The first witness on Tuesday \fras Mr. y. W. Bow- stead, of Somerset House, who produced the file of the London and Globe Company, and gave particulars of its registration and composition. Mr. Whitaker Wright, the first managing director, lie said, became entitled to 321,925 fully paid shares in the new company. The British America Corporation, the Standard Exploration Company, the Victorian Gold Estates, the Loddon Valley Gold Fields, the Moorlot Gold Fields, and the Columbian Proprietary files were also produced, with certain agreements relating to the promotion of the companies. Each company had its office at 43, Lothbury. All of them had been, or were being, wound up. Mr. Lawson Walton cross-examined him at con- siderable length as to the terms of the reconstruc- tion of the old into the new London and Globo Finance by the defendant in 1897, and of tho companies connected with it. iNIr. Edgar Waterlow, of the firm of Waterlow and Co. (Limited), proved the printing of the report and balance-sheet of the London and Globe finance Corporation of 1899, and identified a proof print of it, but said that was no evidence to shew that his firm had received that proof before printing the balance-sheet. There were certain alterations in handwriting upon the proof, both in the report and the accounts. Mr. Herbert Peppercorn, managing director to Messrs. Collier, Bristowe, and Co., solicitors to the late Lord Dutrenn, produced a letter sent by Mr. Wright to L'-rd Dufferin in October, 1899, in which it was state. that, the "substance of what should be said at the meeting" was enclosed. He also produced the notes of the speech. They were in pencil, and, with the alterations, appeared to be in the handwriting of Mr. Wright. In addition, the notes for Lord Dufferin's speech in December, 1900, were produced, and apparently were in the same handwriting. A number of letters from Mr. Wright to Lord Dulferin were next dealt with, which the witness said were found among his lordship's papers. In one, dated March 15th, 1899, Mr. Wright said that they had had a most successful year and there was no need for Lord Loch to fidget. He undertook to fnid the moneys the companies required, and said that there was no need to worry about the Standard Company. Another letter of July 12th, 1899, stated that after allowing for depreciation the Globe would be able to pay a 10 per cent, dividend. In a letter of October Sth, 1899 it was stated that the Globe balance-sheet was'excellent, after deducting £ 500,000 for market values. Several shareholders gave evidence to the effect that they were influenced in the purchase of shares by speeches of the defendant and the late Lords Loch and Dulferin giving a rosy description of the position and prospects of the London and Globe Company. The first witness called on Wednesday was Mr. rhomas Barber, cashier of the Old Broad-street branch of the London Joint Stock Bank, who proved certain transactions of the company and lYhitaker Wright, with the bank. Mr. Henry James L'hurchhouse, cashier at Messrs. Dimsdale's bank, jave similar evidence. The Judge stated that the jury wanted a list of :he directors of all the companies a month before :1H; balance-sheets of 1899 and 1900, also of the nanaging director and secretary.—Mr. Isaacs said hat would bo done. — rheJudge; There are some •ompanies that, as far as I can make out, are little iiore than sham ones, and may have had no direc- tors at all.—Mr. Walton: All the companies had separate directors.—The Judge: Then I should like :o see the minute books to see whether these boards vere really boards or not. The rest of the day was taken up in the examina- :ion of Mr. A. Russell, senior examiner in the Department of the Official Receiver in Companies' Liquidation.
