INVASION OF EUROPE.
Statistics Slow That Exports From Til
Country Have Slightly Decreased.

(By Associated PreS5.)
WASHINGTON, D. c, teo. ls.-Ihe
important document entitled Review OF
tho Foreign Commerce OF the United
States in 1901 showing the pace at
which we ran curing the last calendar
year in the great race for supremacy in
trade in the worlds markets has been
made public by Frederic Emery, CHIEF
of the Bureau of Foreign Commences OF
the State Department
It is stated that the commercial re-
ports OF our diplomatic and consular Of
fices last year record continued growth
in the sales OF many lines OF manufac-
turers from tho United States In foreign
markets and the increase OF the general
concern throughout Europe as to the
possible results of our industrial competI-
ton. Although the figures of our ex-
ports compiled by the Treasury Depart
rnent show a considerable falling on In
the total value OF manufactured goods
sent abroad, it Is stated there seems to
be steady and uninterrupted spread In
the popularity of what may be termed
American novelties" all over Europe
BY the word novelties are meant not
only labor-saying implements and ma
chinery, which are strange to most Eu.
ropeans, but great variety or art1cica
of merchandise
The fall in American exports Is not att
ributed to American goods being In less
favor, but rather to business depression
in Europe affecting the purchasing pow-
er. The elimination OF Hawaii and Por-
to Rico from the list of countries to
which we export also is q factor. The
Treasury figures show that tho year
there was falling Off OF 81. SO, 134, COM
pared with the previous year-manu-
features falling off SAG, s62,s1e. but being
Offset by gain in agricultural exports
OF sS355. 591. on.
1I-. Emery says that it is evidence that
the American invasion Of Europe has
ceased for the time-beins to be OF that
sweeping character that distinguished u
at first as an economic phenomena.
On the whole. however. we have hard
ly entered upon the noviate in fitting OUR
selves for competitive. and he notes with
encouragement the growth of popular
interest in the value OF foreign trade
and well directed efforts for expansion.
