The Mobile will sail tomorrow with the

PEACE IN SIGHT.
One English Paper Thinks the Terms

London Daily Mail.
Europe will hear with profound satisfac-

Washington. Those terms are no whit too
onerous Their moderation reflects the
highest credit upon the forebearance of

other interests obviously intervene; but the
terms of Americas demand for joint COM

GROWTH OF INDUSTRIES.
Statistics Showing Exports and Inn
ports of Iron and Steel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The phenome-
nal growth of our manufacturing industries
both in supplying our own markets and
those of other parts of the world. is illus
trated by some figures just compiled by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics regarding the
imports and exports of manufactures of
iron and steel. These tables show that the
exports of manufactures of iron and steel
in the fiscal year 1898 were five times as
great as in 1880, more than double those in
any year prior to 1885, sand 20 per cent.
greater than in 1897. On the other hand. the
imports of manufactured iron and ste ell
in 1898 were, in value, but one-sixth those
of 1880, one-fourth those of 1888, and one
nalf OF those of 1896. To quote the official
hgures, the exports from the United States
OF all articles classified manufactures
o.. 1 iron and steel amounted, in 1880, to
$l4,I6,524; in 1890, to $25.5 EOS; in 1896. to
$4l 160,S77; in 1897, to So, 494 S72 and in 1885,
TO &O367, 527: meantime the imports of man
fractures of iron and STEEL which, in 1880
were 81, 266, $685. fell by 1890 to SAL 679 SOL by
1915 to so 33S, lO3 and in 1898 TO .913.
Thus, while the exports of manufactures of
iron and steel are, in 1898, five times those
or 1881, the imports of the same class of
articles in 1898 were less than one-tifth
those of 1880. American manufactures have,
since 1880, taken possession of five-sixthS of
that portion of the home market which was
held by foreign manufacturers of iron and
steel, and have. at the same time increased
their sales in foreign markets 400 per cent.
