EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Products of Our Factories Are Now
Sold in All Parts of the World.

The increase in the expectation OF
American manufactures for the past year
is of the most remarkable features of
foreign commerce. We now COM
pete with the nations of the world in
every market, and we more than hold our
manufactures for 1900 amounted to
$432, 2S4. 1866, an increase of 500, Cos, sos
over 1899 the largest ever known. for in
no preceding year has the increase e1-
ceeded 500, OOO, 600
OF the total exporta tions for the year
manufa ctured goods formed 311a per
cent, nearly one-third. against % per
cent in 1899. p per cent in 1897, % per
cent in 1895. 2OI4 per cent in 1885, Is
per cent in 1870, and 1924 per cent in
1860
To put the results in still more strik-
ing way it may be stated that in 1850 the
$40. 1872, and in 1900 were $432.2S4.3 1866,
while all exports in 1850 We're 1888. 567 :
057, and in 1900 We're S1.394. 1S6.311.
From these figures it will be seen that
the total exports of 1900 were only four
times greater than the total exports of
1860, but the exports of manufactures
ten times greater in 1900 than they
i'll 1860.
In other words. in 1860 manufa ctures
formed but 1928 per cent of the total ex-
ports and in 1900 they amounted to 81 u
per cent.
