Treasury Bureau Statistics Reveal a
Decrease for the Last Year
exports Of manufacture from the Tn,-
ted States show an apparent decrease OF
S-32f2.5N5 I'm the fiscal year 1901 compared
with 1890 The detailed figures having
just been completed by the Treasury Blu
reau of Statistics. il isnow practicable 10
analyze this decrease and see how much
OF IT rs real and how much Of that which
is real is due To temporary causes
As h=s already been explained by the
Bureau of Statistics. the export figures of
1901 do not include the exports 20 the Hs-
wa.iau Islands or TO Porto Rico. which
are now customs districts Of the United
States The shipments Of domestic prod
ucts TO Porto Rcp were during the year
Sh-sbl-9 81, and including the foreign with
the domestic products. exceeded 100000.
For the shipmentSrrom the United States
10 the Hawaiian Islands there are no Of
fetal statistics, the exporters having TAX
en- advantage Of the letter Of the law and
refused to give this information to the
Bureau Of Statistics. but the collector OF
customs at Honolulu estimates the ship
meuts 10 those islands from the United
States during the year at fully 100000
This makes S21GD0O00. therefore. which
should De- added to the export statement
IN an attempt 60 compare the figures Of
the present year with those Of 1900 An
ANALYSIS of the exports from the United
states 10 Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands last year shows that fully two
thirds We're manufactures. and assuming
this as a basis Of the calculations for tht,
present year, there should bc added SIS
UprH 10 the statement Of manufactures
exported from the United states. bringing
the total zap 10 S42S 100000 or only 100000
( below that of last year. The exports to
China from the United States fell Of
about 100000 in 1891, compared with 1870,
the fall Of course. being entirels due 70
temporary causes. An examination of
our exports TO China IN 1890 shows that
practically all are manufactures. so that
the temporary reduction OF exports to
China due 70 the unsettled conditions in
that country, coupled with the absence Of
export statistics for Hawaii and Porto
Rico, fully equals the entire decrease in
our exports Of manufactures.

$4,000 which is entirely accounted for by

Hawaii. 10 which the exports Of iron and
( steel alone from the United States last
year were over S5.O09,O00 CD mineral oils.
