GROWTH OF IMPORTS.
m,rufacturers, Materials During the
Year 1902 Comprised One Half
Goods Sent Into This Country.

Growth in the importation OF man
ufacturers' materials and the increas-
ing share which such materials form in
the total imports is the most remark
able feature OF the foreign commerce
of the United States in the fiscal year
Just ended. Manufacturers materials
form in 1902 nearly one-half Of the
total importations, and show re-
markable increase over preceding
years, while other classes of imports
show but very slight increase.
Combining the two classes of ar
ticles for use in manufacturing, those
''in crude condition" and those ''whol-
ly or partially manufactured for use
as materials in the manufactures and
mechanic arts" it is found that the
total value of importations for use in
manufacturing, which amounted in
1851 to $217, ,551, were in 1902 $41S,
776,6s1. They formed in 1881 33.44 pei
cent. of the total imports, and in 100;
1896 per cent. of the total imports.
This phenomenal growth become:
even more striking when it is com
pared with the growth in importation
of all other articles than those for u.s.
in manufacturing. The total value O.
imports other than manufacturers

O47,44s, and in 1902 to $4S4, $50. 800, ane
formed in 1881 66.56 per cent. of tn
total imports, and in 1902 but 1894 pc
