WASHINGTON. August si.-Thsrs srs In
dioations that the food Of immigration
which has been pouring into the country
since the early part Of the year will b
shown by the August reports to have lss
sened considerably. Yet the prospects arc
that the total for the year will exceed that
of last year. and that exceeded By far
that OF any former year. These detsils
show q considerable increase In the number
Of immigrants q compared with the nun.

that month OF last year she added 2O,S7l %

of nearly 20 per cent, while the genera

The immigration from Sweden alec fell OF
considerably, while that from Norway In.
creased slightly. The total for the month
was 65,OiO against 56,6O7 for July OF last
year. The falling of In August this year
Il not at all remarkable, and indeed 10 .
probable that the arrivals for August will
exceed those Of the corresponding mouth
Of last year BY several thousand.
The indications point to the belief that
the number Of immigrants TO arrive during
the present year will reach nearly or quite
q million. Those for the year ending
June 80, 1882, were 7S9, ,003, which was i2oI-
600 more than In any preceding year.
Until 1850 the number has never reached Q
half million per year. For the year ended
June 80, 1889, the total was &57 900. The
total immigration for the past ffty years II
about twelve millions. Three times tho
yearly total nearly reached half million,
but never quite succeeded until the year
ending June 80, 1881 then II was G8a t6i.
In the years 1854, 1872, 1873 and 1850 the
number was above 10000, and In only
those years. In 1882, fifty years ago, the
number was 5000, an unprecedentedly
large number then, but Q rather poor
months work now. Not until l6tS did tho
number per year reach 10000.
Exports and Imports.
The annual report Of the Bureau OF Sta.
tistics OF the Treasury Department show.
ing the exports and imports Of the year
ending June 30th, makes very bad show
ing for the United States in. comparison
with the year preceding. For instance, the
disc for the year were q round hundred
and fifty millions less than the preceding
year, while the imports were nearly hun.
dred millions greater than last year. Tho
imports of gold and silver for the past year
were less than half those OF the preceding
wear, and the exports OF the same articles
nearly three.fold that Of the year prcced-
ing.
OF the exports OF domestic merchandise.
which amounted 10 S733, ,000,0OO worth, lees
than 500, 100000 worth were carried In
American vessels and S629, ,0t6, 900 In foreign
vessels. OF the imports $3.50 600, 900 worth
WAS brought in American vessels ana $oH,.
OOO, 600 in foreign vessels.
Ofthe Gold and silver
exported, by far the largest went TO Eng.
land, 81, 10000 having gone 70 England
during the closing month, and not ~ much
as a million to any OF the other countries,
France being the next highest on the list,
with about $4,000 OF the imports Of
