Washington, July 16.-The monthly
statement of the exports and imports
of the United States, issued by the bu-
reau of statistics, makes the remark
able showing that never before in the
history of the country have the exports
of merchandise, which include prac-
tically all the exports except gold and
silver, reached SO high figure as dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80, 1897,
nor has the excess of exports over inn
ports ever been SO large. The only time
these figures were approached was in

ing heavy shipments of grain to feed
Europe after, a series of deficient har-
vests. The statement of 1897, with COM
rarisons, is as follows: sea
