quire seventy-five moro net gains to beat, as
against forty-seven net gains in all since the

THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
Report on the Foreign Commerce of the
Country for the Year 1885.

Report on the Foreign Commerce Of the
Country for the Year 1885.
Col. w. +. Switzler, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Statistics, in his annual report on
foreign commerce, gives an analysis of our
foreign trade, and, among other things,
shows the magnitude of our commerce as
compared with the commerce of all other
countries; the growth of our exports of pro-
ducts of agriculture, of manufactures, of
mining, ETC.; the condition of the
imports and the carrying trade of the
country, and other facts of interest.
The report says the total value of our
foreign commerce In merchandise, in
GLIDING the in-transit trade. during the
year 1886 was 81 1886, 5SS, 165, of which the
value of the exports was S742 100000, of
the imports $577 200, 900, and of the in
transit and transshipment trade, $685.
000,0 The imports and exports of gold
and silver coin and bullion during the same
period amounted to $50, 49,, 800, of which
the value of the exports was $42, 000, 900,
and of the imports S43, 100000. The value
of our foreign commerce in merchandise,
including the in-transit trade, during the
preceding fiscal year was 81 ,4S1, $40, 0S6,
showing falling off in our foreign trade
during the last fiscal year of 1913, 251 ,921.
1t appears that in the value of foreign COM
merce the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland stands first, Germany second,
France third, and the United States fourth.
The total value of the foreign trade in mer-
chandise of the nations during the year
1883 was as follows: OF the United King
dom, SO, 563, S77 $40; Germany, $780,
42S, 745; France, 81, 033, 1856 ,544; the United
States, 81 .547 ,020, 1916. The most notable
features of our foreign trade during the
last fiscal year, as compared with the trade
of 1884, was decrease in the imports of
merchandise of $50, 000, 900, and a falling
off in the exports of gold of So, 200. 900.
The report shows in detail the countries
and the articles in which the decline in i'm
ports of merchandise occurred. The de-
crease occurred mainly in the values of i'm
ports of sugar and molasses, silks, wool,
and manufactures of silk and wool, and
iron and steel, and manufact-
urers of iron and steel. Among
the exports of our manufactured
velopments since 1866 are agricultural inn
plements, clocks and watches, manufactures
of cotton, manufactures of iron and steel.
including locomotives, sewing machines,
tools and hardware. Great Britain not
only takes about GO per cent. Of our agri-
cultural and manufactured products. but
also larger share, amounting to twenty
seven per cent, Of our manufactures than
do Central America, tho West Indies. and
South America combined. Colonel Switzler
SAYS there has been, since 1860, very
masked decline in the percentage of i'm
ports of manufactured articles, and n COR
responding increase in the percentage Of
imports of crude or partially manufactured
articles. This is n significant fact, show
ing q steady growth in the demand for
crude articles 10 be manufactured at home.

special session Of the Legislature TO meet
Jan. 10
A caucus OF the Republican Senators
met at Washington ON Friday, Dec 4, for the
purpose OF considering the question OF the
election of a President pro tenn. Senator Ed
munds said that when in the summer Of 1884
the Republicans of the nation in their conven-
ton nominated Gen Logan for Vice President
he NIr Edmunds) had thought il right to warn
Gen. Logan, and 10 warn the party, that ho
should retire from the Presidency of the SEN
ate, and that Gen. Logan should be chosen in
his place, and, as they all remembered,
he communicated that opinion and de-
sire to the Republican Senator's in formal
way. 1t was thought best at that time that the
change be not made especially as Gen. Logan
did not wish il TO DO made At the last Presi-
Dental election Gen. Logan had received, he
believed, the votes of all the Republicans who
had the opportunity TO vote, and came very
near being the choice Of the people for the
Office Of Vice President, which would have
made him ex-officio the President Of the Senate
and under the law charged with the duty of
carrying on the Government in case of any dis
until an election could be had In this state of
things, he thought it right that the Repub-
can Senators should renew that expression
of confidence in Gen Logan by nominating
him for President of the Senate, and he ac-
cordingly moved that Gen Logan be so nom
mated by accclamation- Several Senator's spoke
briefly in favor of the nomination, and the
question was put and agreed to unanimously
Senator Logan returned his thanks for the
honor, but declined it, saying he thought he
could be more useful on the floor of the
Senate.
