THE YEARS EXPORTS
The Best Previous Record Has Been
 Broken.

Washington, Dec. a. Special )- The expo1cs from the United States in the calendar year 1898 will exceed those Of any earlier year. Only twice in our history have the exports in a calendar year passed the billion dollar line; in 1898 they will be a billion and quar- ter. During the eleven months of 1898 ending with November They are greater than in any full calendar year preced- ing, the total for the eleven months be- ing $1,117 ,681, 199, and 1t is apparent that the December statement will bring lhe grand total for the year above one billion two hundred fifty million dol lars. The November, 1898, exports were S129, 783, ,512, and as those of De- cember are almost invariably larger than those of November, it seems not unreasonable to believe that they will be sufficient to bring the grand total for the year past the billion and a quar- ter line. Certainly the record for the year will by far suTpass that of any preceding calendar year. The figures of the treasury bureau of statistics show that the November exports are not only the largest in November, but the laTges. in any month in The history of our commerce, while, as already in
 
 ending with November are larger than those of any full calendar year prior to 1898. Of breadstuffs the exports for the eleven months ending with No vember, 1898, are the largest in our his [ cry, being SPIT, ,341 against s225,- 211 ,617 in the great exporting year Of 1892; provisions are for the eleven months $14S, ,417, $50 against SIP, ,297,- 007 in the eleven months of 1892. Cot ton for the eleven months amounts to $132, 1928, ,591, a figure slightly below that of 1896, though the total number of pounds exported by far exceeds that of the corresponding months in any preceding year, being for .th eleven months 3,436, ,032, ,504, or, measured in bales, 6,722, ,2S3-a larger total in bales or pounds than that of any full calen- dar year preceding.
 The import record of the year 1898 will be, as remarkable as that relating to it's exports, but for opposite reasons, the aotal imports for the year being less than those of any calendar year since 1885 For the month cf Novem- Der they were but $52, ,109 ,560, which vas slightly less than these Of Novem- 5er, 1897, and less with three exceptions han those of any November since 1885.
