WASHINGTON D. c., May IL
American manufacturers made their
highest record in foreign markets In
March. The figures OF the March ex-
portations, which the treasury bureau
OF statistics issued this month earlier
thnn on my previous occasion, show
that the March expectations OF manu-
features were s36.o25.733. or more than
IS per cent in excess OF any preceding
month. In March last year the export
ations OF manufactures were s,S.:l4,45O.
in March, 1897, SIS, S76,SGl, and In March,
1886, sl2125.7s5. On only two occasions,
March and December, 1898, have the
exports OF q single month ever reached
s2S,00o.O00. while In March. 1893. they
were. as already Indicated. $30025, 1873.
an increase OF 50 per cent over those of
the preceding month. February. 1899. &
Prior TO 1897 exports Of manufactures
never averaged In any month as much
as a million dollars for each business
day; in five months OF 1896 they aver
aged 4 million dollars for each business
Z day, but 1t was left for March. 1899. TO
make the average OF more than q MIL
lion dollars for each dag In the month,
or an average of 81, 100000 for each bust
ness day.
The increase In the expectations of
manufactures is apparent In nearly all
lines. OF agricultural implements the
March, 1889, exports were s2,379,7i4,
s2,379.744. against sl,47O,397 in March OF
the. preceding year. Exports OF cotton
cloths Increased from 27,030.657 yards in
March. 1888. to 45,2G.959 yards In March.
1893, and OF this amount the exports to
China alone were o3,433.596 yards,
against l3,635,S7t yards in March OF last
year. Chnaware increased from s13.9S6
in March Of last year TO $40 So; In March.
1899. Instruments for scientific pur-
poses, including telegraph, telephone,
etc. increased from SCOOPS In March,
1895. to s4Sl.I9O In March, 1899. thus
showing an increase OF more than 100
per cent. Builders hardware increased
80 per cent, sewing machines nearly 90
per cent, typewrlters nearly 80 per cent.
leather about 40 per cent, boots and
shoes so per cent. naval stores GO per
cent. and vegetable oils nearly 10 per
cent.
