WASHINGTON. July THE details OF exports
from the United States during the fiscal year
lust ended show that every part OF the world
has evinced an increased desire for American
products. To Asia. to Africa. to South America,
to Mexico. to Canada and to the Hawaiian
Islands and OceaDicn our sales have increased
In quantity and value rs compared with the
phenomenal year 1SUS the only grand division
from which our receipts have been smaller
this year than last being Europe. and even
there the reduction ia confined to four ooun-
tries. the United Kingdom. France. Belgium
and Spain. and Is due to the fact that large
home supply Of breadstuffs has reduced their
payments TO MS for this class OF our products.

hscnl year 1900 will be in round mum bers $780,
100000. as against 5000. 600 last yenr: to

Kong about an equal increase. while japan.
which purchased enormous quantities OF raw
cotton and various manufactured goods from
us last year. has somewhat decreased her pur-
chases in those lines. so that the total to Japan
during the year will show a reduction OF over
s3,00O,OOO compared with 1879. but an In

Belginm's reduction IN her purchases in

| similar to those of the United Kingdom and
| France. while the slight reduction In the sales
to Spain Is readily accounted for by the inter
rnption OF commerce between the two conn-
tries which occurred in the early part Of the is-
cal year lS'G'. but which is being resumed upon
the former basis, tho Nav imports from and
exports to Spain being largely in excess of
those Of the corresponding month Of last year
In all other European countries including
Germany. where a reduction was expected in
certain quarters, the figures thus Tar available
show an increase.
