REDUCTION IN EXPORTS

Washington, December 9.-(Speeial.)- D. American commerce with China seems To have suffered more during the distur- bances of last year then that of other countries
 It was well known that the exports from the United States to China last year showed a marked reduction, but it is only through the official figures of the Chinese government just received by the treasury bureau of statistics that comparison of the depression in our own Chinese trade with that of other eoun- tries can be obtained Imports into China from Great Britain in 1900 exceeded those of 1899 by more than five million Haikwan taeis, those from Russia increased a mill lion Haikwan taels; those from Turkey in Asia, Persia Egypt. Algiers, etc., a considerable increase, and those from continental Europe a slight increase: while from the United States the imports fell from 22 2SS, 145 EIaikwan taels in 1889 to 16, PA, 49S in 1900. This was a reduc- tion in imports from the United States of about 25 per cent, while the United Kingdom showed an increase of more than 10 per cent; Russia more than 25 per cent the Asiauc countries above mentioned 40 per cent, and continental Europe a slight increase.
 America Heaviest Sufferer.
 An examination of the details, of the import trade with China in 1900 com pared with that of preceding years, also justifes the conclusion that American . trade suffered more than that of other countries during the year 1900.
 Cotton goods and kerosene are the larg est imports into China from the United States, and they come Into competition with English, Dutch and Japanese cot ton and Russian and Sumatran kero- sene.
 The figures just received by the treas ury bureau of statistics show that in cot ton drills the imports of English goods fell from 7SSS7 pieces in 1899 to 69 C41 in 1900 a reduction of less than 10000 pieces that the imports of Dutch drills increased from 4O170 pieces in 1898 to A., 62i in 1900. but that those of American drills fell from 1.626,107 pieces in 1899 to S05 S92 in 1900, a reduction of more than one-half in American goods; while those
 
 than 15 per cent. and those from the Netherlands an actual gain of more than 10 per cent
 Sheetnq and Kerosene.
 In sheetings those of English manu- facture fell from 763,672 pieces Tn 1899 to eos 199 in 1900, a decrease of about ,00l pieces, while those of the United States fell from 3975,903 pieces to 2,312 49i. a re- duction of more than a million and a half pieces.
 Kerosene oil importGtions of the Amer ican product fell from 40,124as9 gallons to 34.44I112 gallons, a decrease of more than six millions gallons that from Russia fell from 35,G95,116 to B, 703 75I gallons, de- crease of about 3,009,000 gallons while that from Sumatra showed an increase Of over 100000 gallons, the figlses for Samaritan oil being for 1899 II .993, POP gal Ions and for 1900, 16 4z4,155
