Washington, April 13.- GSpeciaD-
American manufacturers continue to
extend their spheres of influence"
throughout tha civilized world. The
reports of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics show that during the eight
months ending with February 22, 1899,
the exports of manufacturers were not
only s37 900, 900 in excess of the i'm
ports of manufactures, but more than
SIG, 900 900 in excess of those exported
in the corresponding months of the
fiscal year 1896 In the 204 business
days covered by this report, the Amer
Iican manufacturers have exported
SPOT 600, 900 worth CT manufactures,
or more than 81 ,000, 900 worth per day.
In the corresponding days of the pre-
Iceding fiscal year their expectations of
manufactures were only S1S1 ,O00, 900.
In the fiscal year 1898 the Unitad States
for the first time exported more manu-
factures than she imported, and the
fiscal year 1899 will make ancither and
even better record in this particular
While it is apparent that the imports
of manufactures in the year 1899 will
be somewhat in excess of those of last
year, which were abnormally light by
reason OF the heavy importations just
prior to the enactment of the recent
tariff, the gain in exports is greater
than the increase in imports In the
eight months ending with February,
1898, the imports of manufactures were
$f52, ,091, 157, and in the corresponding
months of the fiscal year, 1899, they
were S169, ,S43, ,729, an increase of clever
per cent. In the first eight months of
the fiscal year, 1898, the exports of
manufactures were S180.606,0 ,072. while
in the corresponding months of the
fiscal year, 1899, they were $2O6, ,S22, 1884,
an increase of fourteen per cent.
The whole wctId is the fed of the
American manufacturer. Even in agri-
cultural implements, such experienced
and advanced countries as England,
France and Germany are increasing
their demands upon US, while from
the far away and inaccessible parts
Of the world, there is also an inc. cas-
ing demand. The exports of agricuI-
tural implements to the United King
Gcm, which in tbs eight months of the
fiscal year 1898 were 1904, ,661, were in
the corresponding months Cf the fiscal
year 1899, $685., 5,669 Germany increased
her orders f-om $149, ,223, to $266, ,203; /
increased h5rs from $751;
