BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
Annual Report of the Chief to the Treas
ury Department.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Mr.. Nmmo, chief of the bureau of statis-
tics today handed his annual report to the
secretary of the treasury. The only matter
of importance treated is the enormous mag
nitude of our internal commerce. 1t shows
that the products of the various industries of
the United States is seven times the total
value Of our foreign commerce, nearly three
times the total value of the foreign com
merce of Great Britain and Ireland and five
times the value of the foreign commerce of
France, including in each case both imports
and exports. The total value OF the products
of industry in the United States is shown to
be little more than twice the total value of
the exports of merchandise from all the
countries of Europe. The United States is
now the largest manufacturing country on
the globe. The value of the products of
American manufactures consumed at home
is five times the value of the manufactured
products of Great Britian and Ireland ex-
ported to all the countries and more than IA
times the value of the exports of manufact-
ured products from France to all the other
countries. The relative value of internal,
compared with foreign commerce, is also
illustrated to the statements, showing that
95 per cent. of the coal mined in this country,
95 per cent. of our iron and steel products,
95 per ceut. of our leather industry, more
than 80 per cent. of our manufactured wool,
95 per cent. of our products of cotton manu-
factures, more than 80 per cent. of our silk
and 81 per cent, of our glass, glassware,
earthenware and stoneware are consumed in
the Uuited States.
