Great Britain's Dependence Upon the
United states, as shown by btr. EVarts's
Reports to Congress.
Washington Cor. New York World.l
The annual report of Secretary Evarts
to the House of Representatives on the COM
mercial relations Of the United States with
foreign countries shows that the depression
in trade abroad continues, and that the Ia
Dor troubles are increasing. Some of the
leading Governments of Europe, especially
Germany, have appointed commissions to
investigate the causes of the protracted IN
dustrial depression. The Secretary says the
hope of Europe seems based upon the re-
turning prosperity of the United states, but
he thinks that will be a deluSlye reliance,
for he finds that this country Is depending
more and more upon its own resources, and
is not buying very much from foreign mer-
chants and manufacturers.
The Consular reports from Great Britain
are fuller than those from any other country,

ton were greater than they had ever been
before, amounting to 81 ,6jI, l2o. 900. and
the balance of trade against Great Britain
was go, 495 600, more than one and half
times the total impOrtations of the United
States. The following table shows the prin-
cipal articles of importation, and the value,

8. 0U9 .437. and that our whole merchant ma
rine had a tonnage Of but IL, 10.
The Secretary writes as follows IN cohciud-
ing:
The balance of trade in favor of the United
states is very much more than one-han inc
total balance in favor of all countries.
The continually increasing volume OF tie
export trade of the United states at time OF
universal depression and while cNpOrtatlons
of the leading manufacturing countries of Eu-
rope are decreasing at an alarming rate, Is .
gratifying evidence Of the healthtulness OK

future development. II, at the most inauspl-
cious time in the worlds commerce, when de
