BREAK ALL RECORDS.

washington. June p CSpeciaD-Exports from the
-,,,ed States in the fiscal year 1901. about to
- viii probably reach sl.50o, 600 the highest
,nt ever recorded for a single year IN the history
Z. american export trade. For the eleven months
5,pe with May lSOi. the total exports were 81 ss5
:. 20 being double those OF the corresponding
Tod Of 1859 and SlO0O00O0 IN OF the total for
~, eleven months OF last year which broke all pre-
ms records. Taking the commerce of the eleven
fbs ending with May OF various years as the
's Of comparison. the figures Of the Treasury
-,sau Of Statistics show that in the period under
.er exports in lSs9 amounted TO s694 49,, ,sO4 in
20, 10 ss 636Os, in 1899 10 81 l30 90 in 1900 TO
= oz 81 l25 and in the present year, as already
ted 10 81 $50 1855: while for the full fiscal year
- total exports give promise Of exceeding $780,,
400 no as the figures for eleven months fan only
.,,s GO 900 short Of that amount. and the monthly
,ortation Of merchandise from the United States
80 exceeded s120OJ0.OG0 since March OF this year
The distribution Of American exports in the year
,,ong the grand divisions basing the estimate on
.hs percentages for ten months already available
Al be in about the following proportions: To
rrreue Sl55 go COO against sl.o40 100000 last
- 10 North America. sls5.Oooeoo. as against
rs- 900 900 last year; 10 South America. s44oooOO0
. compared with SIS. .90oOe0 in 1900 10 Asia sis Oo-
M as against nearly S65 1900 IN 1900: 10 Oceanica
ssN0eO. as against So. 10000 last year, and TO
.f5ea s25 900 00O against sis.50Oc0 in the pre-
.es,ng year II will be observed that the only de-
s,ted conditions in China have seriously affected
--a5e and 10 Oceanica, from which Hawaii has
bssn omitted as a foreign country since its or
gsnzation as a Territory OF the United States.
To products OF agriculture is due the credit for
,be greater portion Of the increase Of exports in
-hs nresent wear In the ten months for which de-
tailed figures are available products OF agriculture
wore valued at ssh sl 955 and formed 6553 per cent
~ the total domestic exports; last year they
noInted 10 s7I7.372,74 and formed &C. per cent
.. the total domestic exports. For the period
\, this wear manufactures aggregated 1888 Ga
s,d formed Q 40 per OF the domestic exports
while ast year they were S352.67l.206. and formed
sae0 ner cent of the value of domestic exports
The exDorts of agricultural products for the full
sscol 1aqr will be about S9G5 000,000, against
sSss * i9g ast wear while those of manufactures
iI' he about S4,5 100000 compared with S4SS s5l-
- ast wear. This decrease in the expectation OF
rnangfactures is due chiefly the following causes
The war !u China, 10 which country exports con-
sisted largely of manufactured articles. and 10
which market alone sales in ten months decreased
sror, sls s-4-0S in 1880 s. 66 l3s in the present
year: the usfer OF Hawaii from Inc list OF Tor
eien countries TO classification as a customs dis
frirf Of tho United States. causing the omission
from exports II all goods passing between mat
Island anl the United States. and thus decreasing
