OUR INCREASING EXPORT TRADE.

The salient of the foreign trade returns fer the
fiscal year which the government published Monday is OF
course the movement of export trade. Outward trade
shows an increase of over 1900 and 900
over 1899 It was more than double the total of of the
six years 1SS418S9 times great the
ports recorded any year before 1888 This is
extraordinary showing is exceeded in the returns
outside countries only by Great Britain and the figures
foreign merchandise reexported eliminated from
the shipments Of both countries exports pass
those OF England Against the shipments Of
purely domestic products from the United States in the
past fiscal year domestic exports from Great
Britain its trade year ending December Sthe largest

the American develops another interesting point
that the whole increase over the fiscal year 1900 has been

exports S995OOO00 that shipments of other
agricultural commodities must have decreased some
million dollars This however is not unexpected or
surprising 1t was hardly expected that with Eu
ropes industrial markets undergoing reaction from
their recent BOOM they fouId buy much before from
US This slackenng foreign demand, the fnan-
cal editor Of the York Evening Post discussing the
subject gave foreign manufacturers chance to
ply their own requirements they could do before
The fact is that manufactured export trade all circum

gree Fun classified returns the fiscal year not
published But for the eleven months ending May 81, the
total exports of manufactures had decreased only S1500
OOO and the exports of iron steel goods barely hall
