THE FINANCIAL REVIEW.
United States Has Sustained Position OF
Leader Of the World


A review OF the financial history OF
the past year should make every Ameri-
cans heart thrill with pride. For II in
1900 the United States fought its way TO
a position as the financial leader OF the
world. the last year saw this country so
fortify itself in the first place that its
pre-eminence In the financial matters of
the world Is assured for an indefinite per-
Tod 70 come
Not only was the money center OF the
world made permanent In Wall street
during the year. but the invasion OF the
markets OF the world by this country
that had been gathering IN strength for
ten years was likewise pushed during 1901
with such success that this country may
now fairly lay claim to the Industrial
supremacy OF the globe.
The extent OF our invasion OF foreign
markets during 1901 may be judged from
the figures contained In the annual report
OF the Secretary OF the Treasury. The
foreign commerce in merchandise for the
fiscal year 1901 showed a decrease OF
SIS IN imports and an increase OF
$50. 81 500 IN exports when compared with
the preceding year Comparing the fg-
ures OF 1901 with those OF 1881. there Is a
decrease OF S2l.7fAO3l In imports and an
increase OF $50. 2S4.isl In exports. The i'm

cess OF exports over imports sss4 So. SIS
Both the total exports and the excess
Of exports over imports were greater IN
1901 than In any preceding year IN the
history OF our commerce.
To say that the country has prospered
during 1901 Is a weak statement OF the
facts. The fiOOdt'de Of prosperity has
rolled ahead for she past twelvemonth
with ever-increasing strength. and with
no Indications that the ebb Is to come
