PROGRESS IN EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

PROGRESS IN EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
The final return of foreign commerce for
September proves remarkably encouraging
though perhaps nobody expected to find it quite
as satisfactory as some which had preceded 1t
AS respects manufacturing exports. The cxtraor-
binary return for August and the March re-
turn. showing nearly as large an aggregate cx-
elusive of the great staples were not matched
in September and in some OF the prominent
classes Of manufactured products decrease
appeared not apparently incident to the season.
But in iron and steel products, with agrcult-
ural implements cars and carriages and In
struments the aggregate was S104S6.11S In
September over 100000 being in rails and as
much in builders hardware. and nearly as
much in wire with S1.1l0OOO in machinery
other than beams. and 100000 in steam ma
chincry. nearly 100000 in sewing and shoe
machinery and over Sl.5OO,0OO in other ma
chinery not specified. The exports Of copper.
though much smaller than in August were
$685. 900, an amount equalled in only two or
three months hitherto and the exports Of lum-
Der and wood manufacture were again over
$4,000 900, an amount not reached In late years
until last March. The leather exports were also
close TO the maximum. but in cotton goods
there was some decline. and also in vegetable
oils chemicals and paper.
In twenty-five principal classes Of manufact-
ured products not including about S2WO,OoO
gain In mineral oils. the Increase or exports
over September Of last year was S4,7ll.so3.
while in the principal staples. including oil. the
increase was $1,000 .6l6 There was also an
Increase OF nearly 81 100000 in tobacco leaf. a
little in naval stores and considerable amount
in canned fish and fruit. thus making mp the
total increase Of $l92744J9 in domestic eX-
ports for the month. In much the greater pro.
portion Of these items. II will he observed. the
gain is of a kind which does not seem likely 10
be unfavorably affected by recent price changes,
as probably the selling prices Of the great va
riety of machinery included in the iron class
have been only slightly affected thus far II at
all, by the change in cost Of pig iron. Once
more these minor exports cover over GO per
cent of the total imports. The excess Of total
exports not quite S40.000.O0O. but was
large enough to clear away apprehension re-
