WASHINGTON. June e.-The growing
disposition OF our exporters to distri-
butte through the ports south Of New
York part Of the export trade which
formerly passed through that great
city Is illustrated by a study OF the
bureau Of statistics figures showing the
exports through the various ports Of
the United States In the fscai year
1900.
During that year. and the months
which have followed. New Orleans has
taken second rank as an exporting
port and has displaced Boston In its
position as the second exporting city
OF the country.
The very heavy expectation Of
cotton and high price at which II il
exported has largely increased the
value OF the exports through Southern
ports. while II Is not improbable that
the Galveston disaster may have re-
suited In temporarily d1verting 10 Nee

otherwise would have gone through
Galveston.
The exports from New Orleans in
the fiscal year 1900. were Sii5.sss. 7st.
the highest figure In the history OF the
port. except 1897. and an increase Of
S2s.0oo.o00 over the hscal year 1899.
During the nine months OF the fiscal
year 1901 the exports from New
Orleans were 3i22. .234. $50. securing for
that city clear and undisputed title

American export cities. the figures for

place. being. for the nine months. Ssl..

those OF New Orleans.

the total imports and exports Of the
country was in 1900 SIS per cent. in
1897 Sis per cent. and In 1895 7.s per
