Exports Of Manufactures Exceed the
Imports-Enormous Sales In the
Open Markets of the World.

New York, June 6.-The manufacture
ers of the United States are making
in the fiscal year which closes with this
month their greatest record in Compel
ing for the markets of the world,
AYERS the Washington correspondent of
the Tribune. Not only will the exports
of manufactured articles for the fiscal
year exceed those of any previous year.
but for the first time in the history of
the country they will exceed the i'm
ports Of manufactures. In the ten
months of the fiscal year, whose detail
ed record of the bureau of statistics
has been just completed, the exports
of manufactures exceeded by over $40,-
100000 the value of the manufactures
imported, and it is probable that for
the full years record this excess will
reach 100000. In no preceding year
in the history of the country have the
exports of manufactures exceeded in
value the imports of manufactured ar
ticleS. In the fiscal year of 1897 the
imports of manufactured articles eX-
ceeded in value of exports of manufac-
lures by the sum of $27. S62, 217; in 1896,
by S1O4, 759,724, and in 1895, by $121. 413,-

Nearly every branch of the manufac-
| turing industries has shared in this
growth of sales to others parts of the
world The exports of agricultural i'm
plementS, for instance, which in 1888
were about s2,600,000 in value, will in
the year 1898 be in round numbers &c.
100000. Locomotive engines, whose ex-
portation in 1888 was less than $500, 900
in value, will in 1898 reach probably
1000, 0G0, orders for more than $50 en-
gines having been placed with the great
manufacturing establishments during
the last two months for use in China,
Japan, Russia, Egypt, Australasia and
South America. Bar iron, of which l.
100000 pounds We're sent abroad in 1888,
this year 100000 pounds will be eX-
ported Builders hardware, the export
of which in 1888 was valued at 81, 49,
635, was in the last fiscal year $4,152,-
S36 in value. The exports of cut nails,
which in 1888 amounted to II, 1863, 664
pounds, will in 1898 amount to more
than S5,000,000 pounds, an increase of
200 per cent. Wire nails have increas-
ed over 1000 per cent, the exports of
wire, wrought and horse shoe nails
in 1888 being 1,547.07S pounds, while in
1898 they will reach nearly if not quite
10000, 900 pounds. Exports of iron plates
and sheets. which in 1888 were less
than one million pounds, will in this
year amount to nearly 100000 pounds,
while those of steel plates and sheets,
which were but 119,419 pounds in 1888,
will exceed 2o,000,000 pounds in 1898.
The total value of the exports of
manufacturers of iron and steel, which
in 1883 amounted to $17 ,0000 900, will in
1898 exceed $65,000,G0G. The exports of
leather and manufactures thereof
which in 1888 amounted to less than
S10,000,OO0, will in 1898 exceed $20,OO0,00O
in value. Exports of Illuminating oils
which in 1888 amounted to 456, 000, 900
gallons, will in 1898 exceed $780, 900, 900
gallons, while luhricating oils, which
in 1888 We're less than 23, 000, 900 gallons,
will in 1898 reach 80, 900, 900 gallons. The
expectation of paraffin and paraffin
wax, which in 1888 were sc, 0OO. 600
pounds, will in 1898 reach 140, 900, 900
pounds. Soap increases from 10000, 900
pounds in 1888, to over q, 100000 pounds
in 1898; glass and glassware from $751;
628 in 1888, to S1,02S,1S7 in 1897; manu-
facture of rubber from SS66,S67 in 1888,
to $1,S07, 145 in 1898. Manufactures of
cotton show an increase of so per cent
in the value of their exports during
the last ten years; exports of chemicals
have also increased so per cent in value
during the same time. Manufactures
of brass have increased from $30S, 124
in 1888, to over $1.400. 900 in 1898, while
manufactures of copper, including in
gots and bars, which in 1888 were 49,
S12,7 were last year S31, 621, 125, and
seemed likely to exceed that sum in
1898. In numerous other manufac-
tured articles there have been similar
gains, nearly the entire list having
shared in greater or less degree in the
growth of the export trade during the
last decade. The total expectation of
manufactures in 1888 amounted to $780,
800 0S7, and in 1898 seems likely to reach
nearly or quite 1920, 900 900.
