Every Part of the Word Evinced
an Increased Desire for
American Products.
EUROPE's GOOD BREADSTUFf SUPPLY.
This Alone Has Failed to Increase the
Amount of Money Paid for
Our Products There.
In Asia, Africa, South America, Mexico,
Canada, Hawaiian Islands and Ocsanica
Our Exports Have Increased in Val.
ne and Quantity since 1898.

WASHINGTON, July s--A study of de-
tails of exports for the fiscal year just
ended, the bureau of statistics says,
shows that every part of the world has
evinced an increased desire for Amer
lean products. Europe is the only part
of the world which has failed to in
crease the amount of money paid to us
for our products, and this, the bu-
reua says, is due solely to the plen-
tiful supply of breadstuffs in that
part of the world in 1898, and the con-
sequent decrease in price paid per
bushel. To Asia, to Africa. to South
America, to Mexico, to Canada and to
the Hawaiian islands and Oceanica our
exports have increased in quantity
and value as compared with the phe-
nomenal year 1898.
To British North America the ex-
ports in the fiscal year 1899 will be in
round numbers 500, 600, 600, against $685.
600, 900 last year; to Mexico about $685.
900, 900, against s2l, 2O5. 600 last year; to
Cuba about $1s, OOo, 900, against IS, ,26o,-
600 last year; to Porto Rico 50, 500, 900,
against 81, 500, 900 in 1898, and to the
entire West Indies group $s5, 600, 600 in
round numbers, against $28, 4Ss, 600 last
year. South America, to which our
sales in the past have not shown as
rapid an increase as those to other
parts of the world, shows a slight gain

$35, 600, 600, against $s3, s21, 900 last year.
To Asia the exports of the year will be
about $47,000,000, against 844, s44, 900
last year, China showing an increase
of over 33 per cent. and Hong Kong
about an equal increase, while Japan,
which purchased enormous quantities
of raw cotton and various msnufactur-
ed goods from us last year, has some
what decreased her purchases in those
lines, so that the total to Japan during
the year will show a reduction of over
$3, 600, 900 compared with 1885, but an
increase of $1,000, 900 compared with
1897. Oceanica shows remarkable
gains, the total for the year being
likely to exceed $50, 900, 900. against $21, ).
991, 900 last year. and to Africa the ex-
ports of the year are in excess of those
of any preceding year.
The value of exports to the United
Kingdom for the year will be more
than $25, 900, 900 below that of last year,
while the reduction in the value of our
exports to France will be more than
$50, 900, 900, to Belgium about 81, 900, 900,
and to Spain about So, 900, 900. This re-
duction occurs almost entirely in food
products, and especially breadstuffs
The reduction in value of wheat
sent to Europe in II months of 1895
| compared with the corresponding
months of 1898, is in round numbers
SIS, 900, 900. The United Kingdom has
also reduced her purchases of live cat
tie about 81, 900, 900 in the II months OF
1899, compared with corresponding
months of 1898, due, it is believed,
largely to an increase in prices de-
manded by the dealers of the United
