GREAT COMMERCIAL RIVALS
FIGURES ON AMERICAN AND
BRITISH TRADE.
United States aud Great Britain Run
ming Neck and Neck In the Race
For Trade Supremacy. All

Washington, March 19.-Ambassador
Choate's recent remark that the United
States and the United Kingdom would
doubtless continue friendly rivalry in
regard to the worlds commerce is quite
justified by the latest figures on the COM
merce of the two countries as supplied by
the treasury bureau of statistics. These
snow that the exports of domestic mer-
chandise from the United States in the
eight months ending with February
amount to $685., SS5, al, and those from the
United Kingdom amount to S79S, $3.50, 427. In
the calendar year 1885, the domestic ex-
ports from the United States amounted
to 81, 2S9, 564, S2S, while those of the United
Kingdom amounted to 81. 131, 81, 331.
The year 1883 was the first in which the
domestic exports from the United States
exceeded the domestic exports from the
United Kingdom. On only two occasions
prior to 1898 have the domestic exports of
the United States exceeded a billion dol
lars. while those of the United Kingdom
have constantly exceeded a billion dollars
during the past twenty years. The latest
merchandise fell below the billion dollar
line was 1879 when they amounted to
1928, 1929 02e. In 1879, our own exports of
domestic merchandise amounted to $754.-
656, 755. Thus, in the twenty years since
1879. the figures show an increase of but
Y per cent, in the domestic exports of the.
United Kingdom, and of 69 per cent in
tiiooo VI lHe OHlleu- SotdIeS, apparently
quite justifying Ambassador Choate's as
sertion that the United State would con-
tinue to be rival, though a friendly one,
of the United Kingdom in its relations
with the commercial world
That the rivalry is and has been a
friendly one, even to the extent of cor
diality, is shown by the fact that de-
spite our rapid increase in the supplies
which we are Offering to the markets of
the world Great Britain continues to
take a proportionate share of that in
crease. Our exports of domestic mer-
chandise to the United Kingdom in 1879
amounted to $346 4S5.SS1 and in 1898 were
1884. S9S, S02, an increase of "a per cent:
while, as already shown, our general ex-
ports increased 6S per cent during the
period. This is the more striking and
worthy of remark, in view of the fact
that our own imports from the United
Kingdom have not increased at the rate
her purchases from us have grown. In
deed. the imports into the United States
from the United Kingdom in 1898 are no
greater than they were twenty years ago.
the imports from the United Kingdom in
1879 being S10S53S,S12 and in 1898 $685.
