manufactures in tho fiscal year about to end
will average IN ore than 81 900 900 for each bust
ness day OF tho year. In the ten years 1890 -?S
the total value OF our manufactures exported

any considerable percentage Of increase In any

1t Is in the production manufacture. and eX-

In 1880 manufactures OF metals formed less
than 20 per cent OF our total exports Of manu-
