tEarly Dispatched

New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington says
WAR with China would certainly be
detrimental to American trade with
that empire"
This statement was made by Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson. He con-
tinued; For the time being American
trade would be destroyed because the
merchant would not be able TO reach
the interior Of the Celestial empire with
his goods OF course there would be a
special demand for wheat, oats, bread
stuns, horses and mules. and the United
States would have 10 meet the demand
Of the allied armies, consequently the
expectation Of cereals and animals
would be increased many fold on the
other hand, there would be a marked
falling OF in general trade, especially
IN such exports as cotton manufactures,
kerosene oil, iron and steel manufac-
lures. tobacco, lumber, manufactures
Of wood, parts Of clocks, books, maps,
engrayngs, perfumery and cosmetics,
scientific Instruments, patent medicines,
paper, carriages, etc, and leather.
The total value Of these articles Of
export in 1898 was 50 295. j2l. The value
Of wheat exported TO China has aver
aged barely 100000 a year for several

ing cotton, flour ginsep, malt liquors,
canned beef, milk, canned fruits and
leaf tobacco.
ITO show how remarkable has been
the growth Of our trade with China, II
is only necessary to give a few statistics
as 10 the commercial relations for ten
years. From 1889 10 1889 there was
gain Of Sl3 293. 1853 The increase was
almost entirely IN exports which ad-
vanced in value from &.7gt12S and
1859 to $ll493, $40 in 1899. Our imports

a value OF SlIO2S.4l2 was reported.
Taking these figures as a basis, II Is
easy TO see that war would for the time
bein" increase agricultural exports be-
yond the average Of per cent for the
past ten years. but would practically
stop the expectation TO China OF other
American products that In ten years
have averaged IS per cent War would
also interfere materially with our im-
port trade from China which for the
years from 1894 10 1898. inclusive, aver

The figures are larger than those
