155, 066 in 1901, reduction of 81, 1903
In iron and steel manufactures alone
the exports have fallen from Sill, Sle,520
in 1901 to $9s. 552, 562, reduction of $1s.-
76675e. Thus the decrease in iron and
steel manufactures alone is ten million
dollars greater than the total reduction
in exports of manufactures, Indicating
that in other articles there has been
net increase. Taking the general class
of manufactures exported, it may be
said that majority show an increase IN
1902 compared with 1901, while some OF
the articles showing a decrease in value
of exports show an increase in quality,
Indicating that the reduction is due in
some cases to reduced prices and not to
reduced exports.
