OF this number i31 have been finally
disposed of and the principal labor
done In twenty-one others.
The United States Supreme Court de
cidcd two eases to-day holding that the

The annual report of the Bureau Of
Statistics Of the State Department es-
tablished the significant fact that the
foreign trade OF the United States last
year showed a steady increase in the
export Of manufactured goods. the per
centage Of such exports rising from
24.93 per cent in 1885 to 2j.7l per cent
last year. Meanwhile, the percentage
Of agricultural exports declined slight
". from 57.5s to 67.3S. The report finds
additional confirmation Of the relative
Iy rapid advance Of the foreign trade Of
the United States in some figures pre-
scented to parliament by the British
board Of trade, showing that while
Great Britain still retains her lead over
other countries in exports Of manufac-
lures, the United States is advancing
at a more rapid pace, and that that adj
vance was larger in amount and much
larger in proportion than the advance
made by Germany.
