ENORMOUS EXPORTS.
Forty million Dollars OF Exports
sent Ont by American Msnufac-
turer- During Month of April.

Washington, May CAN exporta-
tion OF S4O,000.O0O worth of manufac-
lures in thirty days is a record I'M
paralleicd for American manufac-
t'irers. That is the record for the
month of April. 1900. The details Of
the April exportations--just complet-
cd by the treasury bureau Of sta
tistics-show that the expectation Of
manufactures during that month
were by far the greatest of any
month in our history and within a
fraction OF Sl0.oO0.OOO. This gives as-
surance that the exports Of the fiscal
year which ends with June will con-
siderably exreed sfO0.O0O.0O0 and be
nearly three times as much as a
decade ago. The phenomenal Increase
in expectation of manufactures il
especially striking when compared
with the progress made by European
