EXPORTS OF BICYCLES.
American Wheels Sent to All Parts of
the World.

The opening of the wheeling season gives
especial interest to some figures Just pre-
pared by the treasury bureau Of statistics
These tables show that American wheels
are now being ridden in all parts of tie
world In the wids of Mexico and Central
America. under the blazing skies OF Cuba,
Porto Rico and other West Indian islands;
across the pampas of Argentine, Brazil and
other South American states; amid the
densely populated areas of China, British
East Indies and Japan. and in the juIlgies
of Africa, the American wheel is making
It's way. Even in the great manufacturing
countries of Europe, where workshops and
skllled Workmen abound, millions of dol
lars worth of American bicycles are sold
each year. During the four fiscal years
1Ss& 1897, 1898 and 1899 the expectations
of American bicycles amounted in round
numbers to 1000 900. 81
That such large numbers of machine
requiring such high grad3s of workmanship
In its production should be continuously
and successfully exported, in competition
with the workshops of the most successful
manufacturing countries of the world, is
fact OF which American workmen and
Americans generally may justly eeel proud
Exports to Europe.
-Four million dollars worth of American
bicycles will, during the fiscal year about
to end. go to European countries. countries
in which the manufacturing industries an
tedate by generations those Of the United
States. To France, with all her skilled
workmen and ingenuity, expectations of
American bicycles in the fiscal year 1899
will be more than double in value those Of
1897, while. the fact there has been a gen.
erai lowering of prices indicates that in
numbers the increase has been very much
greater. To Germany the expectations of
bicycles in 1899 will be so per cent in ex-
cess of those of 1897, though something less
than those of 1898. To other countries on
the continent of Europe the bicycle exports
of 1899 are so per cent In excess Of those of
last year or the year before The the unit
