New Railway in Asiatic Russia.

United States Consul Smith at Moscow
has informed the State Department that a
private company. representing Moscow and
foreign capital. has been organized to build
a railroad to connect the Central Asian
with the Siberian roads by a line from An
dishan or Tashkent. along the western
frontier of China. through the basins Of
the Irish and Oh rivers. The project is to
have it pass not only through the -Akmo-
linsk district. but also through the south
ern districts OF the government OF Tomsk
This line would afford short and con-
venient route for shipping central Asian
products to eastern Siberia, Mongolia and
Manchuria. and also for bringing Chinese
goods, especially tea. into the transcaspian
provinces and even into northern Perxia.

COMMERCE DECLIN ES
FOREIGN TRADE OF UNITED
STATES NOT UP TO 1901.
Lower Price for Cotton and Shortage
in Corn Crop Given as
Reasons.

fhe story OF our foreign commerce in the
hscal year 1902 Is told in outline IN the
opening page OF the annual report Of the
chief OF the treasury bureau of statistics,
as follows:
The shortage OF the corn crop of 1901.
States In the fiscal year 1902 was larger
than In any year of Its history except 1901.
Compared with 1901 there was q reduction
OF about sl06. .0OoOOo in exports, and an in
crease of about $50 10000 in imports. The
reduction in exports was chiefly due to the
shortage In the corn crop In 1901, the re-
duction in the price OF cotton and an un-
usual home demand for iron and steel
manufactures. The Increase in imports
was chiefly due to larger demands for for
elgn materials for. use in manufacturing.
The shortage of the corn crop of 1901
due 10 drought. reduced the corn exporta-
tious in the fiscal year 1902 1J0.0O0.0OO
bushels below those of 1901 and caused a
reduction OF s6I. 600. 900 in the value of corn
expectations The export price Of cotton
averaged about l cent per pound below
that Of the preceding year, and although
.he expectations exceeded in quantity those
In 1901 by about 1T0,O00.000 pounds. the to-
tai value Of the cotton exported fell nearly
$23 OOO. 900 below that OF 1901. In iron and
steel the increased demand at home.
coupled with abnormal conditions in the
foreign market. caused a reduction of
about S19.OO0OOo In value of our exports of
that class OF manufactures.
Imports Increase.
In importations there was an increase of
SO. 10000 IN material for use in manufac-
turing. $4,000. 900 in manufactured articles
ready for consumption and s12,0OOOO in
articles OF voluntary use. luxuries. etc, but
a decrease of s21 900 900 in food stuffs. I'm
portations OF raw materials for use in
manufacturing amounted to s32S. 900 600,
which was s5S.000,000 In excess OF the pre-
ceding year. and of articles partly manu-
factured for use in manufacturing the i'm
ports were s91 600 600, an Increase of S12-
ooo,0O0. This brings the total importations
OF manufacturers materials imported far
above that Of any preceding year in the
history of our commerce and industries.
The chief reduction in the exports oc-
CURED in the commerce with Europe. Com
pared with the fiscal year 1901 the total ex-
ports to Europe fell of $12S000,000 and
those TO South America s6.00O.OOO. while
those TO North America increased 81 ,0G0. coo.
10 Asia and Oceania 100000 and to
Africa 5000. 900. The reduction In the ex-
ports TO the united kingdom was $50 600 600.
to Germany s19.0OO.0O0. to the Netherlands
5000. 600 and to France 100000. Nearly
all OF this reduction Is traceable to the
drought Of last year and the reduction in
