STRONG COMMERCIAL RIVALRY
GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERi'A
COMPETING FOR TRADE.
In the struggle the Great Republic
Is Rapidly Outcinssing the III"
rlish in All Directions.

Washington, March 19.-Ambassador
rhoate's recent remark that the war be-
tween the United States and The United
Kingdom would doubtless continue
friendly rival In regard to the worlds com
merce Is quite justified by the latest hg-
ures on the commerce CT the two countries
as supplied by the treasury statistics.
Theze SHOW that the experts Of domestic
merchandise from the United States for
eight months ending with March ! were
Ss2s, 355.ti1, and those from the United
Kingdom amount to s79s,96o 42T. In the
calendar year Of 1898 the domestic ex-
ports from the United States amounted to
81, 1888, 5el .s2s, while those OF the United
Kingdom amounted to S1,1$l ,9443Sl. Tht
year 1898 was the first in which the do
nestle exports from the United states eN'
ceeded the domestic exports from tnt
United Kingdom On only two occasions
prior 10 1898 have the domestic experts O
| the United States exceeded billion COL
lars, while those OF the United Kingdom
have constantly exceeded billion DOL
lars during the past twenty years. Th'
latest year in which her exports OF do
nestle merchandise fell below the billion
dollar line WAS 1897, when they amounted
10 S92S 929. OPS In 1879 our own exports
| Of domestic merchandise amounted t.
! S754e T55 Thus. in the twenty year
since 1879, the figures show an increas
OF but % per cent Ia the domestic export
Of the United Kingdom and of So per cen
IN those OF the United States, APPARENT!
quite justifying Ambassador Choate's as
sertion that the United States would con
tinue to be rival, although friendl
one, OF the United Kingdom In its rela
lions in the commerce OF the world. TIL
rivalry has been friendly one. even T.

the fact that despite our rapid increase 1
| the supplies which we are offering to TAX
before the world Great Britain continue
to take a proportionate share Of the in

chandisc to the United Kingdom in 1871
amounted to s34s ISL, and in 1898 wer
