HELD OUR LEAD.

The United States maintained its pc
sition as the leading exporting nation In
the calendar year 1901. The figures of
the treasury bureau of statistics, just
published show the exports of each of
the principal countries of the world at
the latest available date, and clearly in
dicate that the exports of the United
States We're during the year larger than
those of any other nation.
While the total for the full calendar
year is only shown in the case of a few
of the more important nations, the
monthly average for the portion of the
year for which figures are available is
shown in the case of practically every
country. This statement shows that the
average monthly expectations in the
year 1901 were: United States, $119, ,s4O,-

of the United States and United King
dom are available They show: United
States, $1,43S, ,0S3; United Kingdom, ST.
365.O47,s4s. The exports of the United
States thus exceed by nearly rs millions
those of the United Kingdom
Upon the face the exports of the Uni
ted States seem to show a reduction Of
about II million dollars, but this is due
to the fact that the shipments to the
Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico were
in 1901 no longer classed as exports 10
foreign countries, and for that reason
the export figures on their face show a
slight reduction, while in fact if the fig
ureS of shipments to the islands were
included they would show an increase

Next Experiment Will Include
Transatlantic Messages

London, Feb. 20.-At a general meet
ing of the Mareoni Wireless Telegraph
company today Mr.. Marconi referring
to the transatlantic experiments, an
nounced that the next series, of tests
would include the transmission of words
and messages. He added that there was
nothing to prevent the company from
undertaking commercial cOmmunica-
tionS with ships at sea The system at
present was in permanent use on board
seventy ships and there were % land
stations. His transmission of twenty
two words in minute did not compare
badly with the work of the cables. The
defects with reference to secrecy had
been removed. After perfecting ar
rangements in Canada he would ehal-
lenge Sir William Preece and Prof
Lodge to intercept messages. The mo-
nOpoly claimed by the British Postal
telegraph had hitherto impeded the es
tablishment of a wireless service in
England and Ireland.
Mr.. Marconi complained that obstruc-
tionS We're thrown in his way on this
side of Atlantic in marked contrast with
the generous encouragement which he
had received from the governments and
press of the United States and Canada
In regard to the commercial side of
the system, Marconi said that on recent
arrival of an American liner upwards of
5000 words were received within 16
hours. The transmission of this number
of words daily across the Atlantic would
represent an annual income of &7 900
in the first instance, was proceeding to
install two pairs of stations.
Mr.. Marconi will sail for Canada next
