The reduction In value of imports occurs
chiefly in raw silk. hides and skins. wool
and India rubber. and in most OF these tho
reduced value Is partly due 10 reduction
of price rather than quantity. Raw silk

Each OF these great classes except manu-
features show a marked increase over last
year. The apparent decrease In msnufac-
lures, which amounts 10 $23.3ie.5s3. Is due
chiefly TO the absence OF figures showing
exports to Hawaii and Porto Rico. which
are estimated at about s25, 100000 for tho
year and largely consisted OF manufac-
lures. In two important articles OF manu-
~facture, however. the exports Of 1901 fall
below those OF 1900. The total exports OF
copper in 1901 were 252, 769. S2s pounds. valued
at $41, 26O. $40, against 333. $40. rs pounds IN
1900, valued at SIS. az. ls6. This decrease
was chiefly due to a reduction In de-
mand for copper in Europe. In cotton
cloths there was a reduction due TO the
temporary suspension of exports TO China,
to which the expectations OF cotton cloths
134 in 1900 TO 1859. 402 yards. valued at &.-
$50. 534 in 1901. The expectations by conti-
nents in 1901 compared with 1900 are as fol-
lows.
