No wonder Emperor William is becoming interested

exception Of the United Kingdom, commerce with
Germany is greater than wit hany other country and
trade relations most intimate
From s300OO,00o in 1865 the value of trade with
that country had amounted to about s30000000 in 1901
Our exports consist mostly of cotton pork prod

chemicals drugs cotton silk leather and wooden manufac-
lures. toys earhen and stoneware We have always

that country but the increase imports has been greater

while eports $2O3151O2 In 1901 the imports
were s100 1902 while the exports were s1917s0427
