WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.-In response TO q

President has transmitted to the Senate report from
the Secretary of State containing Information i'll RELATION
to the foreign trade of Mexico, Central and Sonth Amer
ca the Spanish West Indies, Hayu anu san Do'n'io'
Mr. Frelin ghuysen says:
1.-THE moro important imports into these countries ana
colonies are cotton manufactures, iron and steel anu
their manufactures machines, engines impemehts' eo
and hardware and cutlery. This trade Is cheDy Gun,
troed by England the United States holding inc scco
place and France the third 1t is to be regretted 'n
there are no statistics available concerning the
shares of Germany" table is submitted showing the
comparative exports from the aboye-namcd countries
into the islands and countries under review IL SHo"
that of the articles named England sends a toeai vi
$l12 600 France S77,2l3000 and the United STATES
only $64 900 600 The secretary continues: lhe Pol
into the United States from Mexico and Central America
are greater than the imports those countries INTO
both England and France: while our imports from cou'
America are much less than the imports thefeIro" vi
either England France This latter condition If pr
cipay due to the large export value charged 10 ns
in CHILEAN and to the large import INTO france o
Argentine wool TO the trade of Brazil, while we li-
port thereroru products to the value OF Soo2ooVoo
against 500 600 imported therefrom into England
and 500 900 into France we export thither goods 10
the value only -, $50 900; while England SENDS 10
Brazil goods valued at $3i,092,000 and France s0oos
valued at Sl5651 900. 80 that our imports loih pi
are about onehaf the total export OF that country
while we send there only little than oneninth OF
the total value of goods brought into that Empire
"The imports into the United states from Cuoa ana
Porto Rico amount TO S6i,0720oo while those Islands
send 10 England and France united only some
SIS 900 600 The exports to Cuba and Porto Kico from
England alone amount to Fl 900 more than are sent
there by the United States. Based upon the
official returns Of the principal countries INTO
which the products of Cuba and Porto ilco
are imported, the value OF the total exports
OF those islands nav be estimated about $4,000 600
The total imports the United states from those com
tIies are 81 50 900. and ii appears that foreign YES
sells bring the United States therefrom double the HI
ports broSsst in American vessels ,
The principal reason assigned for this radical carrying
