THE IMPORT TRADE
Smallest in Twenty Years
 With One Exception.
Inspection of inc List Shows Thai inc United States is Greatly En- CreaSing lis Home Production in all Lines.

Washington, Feb. 5.-(specia1)- The details of the import trade of the United States in the year just erdel have just been completed by the bur eau Of statistics. They show the smallest importation in twenty years, with the single exception of the year 1885. The total imports of the year are $634,95S 229, the revised figures be- ing slightly iii excess of those of the preliminary statement issued by the bureau of statistics earlier in the month. This is 100 million dollars I7s5 than the imports of 1897 and 200 mil lion dollars less than those of 1892, while, as already indicated, they are the lowest in twenty years with the single exception Of 1885.
 The reduction of imports is 8ltogeta- CT in articles free of duty, the dutiable imports in 1898 being $366. 595,549, while those of 1897 were S3G5. .3O2. .24O, while the free of duty articles import cd amounted in value in 1898 to S268,- 362, 680, against $377, ,329.11O in 1897. This reduction of loo million dollars i1 the importation of n0n-dutiab!e ar ticles is due first to very great re- duction in the importations of wool and the transfer Of wool from the free to the dutiable list; second. to a re- ductiOn in the free importation Of man ufactured articles whether for use in the mechanic arts or for consumption; third, to the transfer of tea rom the free list to the dutiable list, and fourth to reduction in the prices and also a slight reduction in the quantity Of cof- fee imported. The class. articles Of food and live animals" " which amount ed to $118,144 TOO in 1897. was but S87.- 323, 644 in 1898 and this, as already in dicated, is readily accounted for by the transfer of tea from the free to the dutiable list. and second by the re- duced prices as well as reduced impor- tations of coffee and certain other ar ticles which still come in free Of duty but the price having reduced, do not make as large a total in values as last year.
