OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The activity of the manufacturers OF the
United States, measured by the figures ut
imports of manufacturers materials and
exports ut manufactured articles, is
greater than ever before. Imports of
manufacturers materials in tho ten
months ending with October. 1902, are,
$36J,0O00o0 against $20l 00O in the corrc-
spending months Of 1896, $.l 1000, 900 in the
corresponding months of 1879, and S3lY,
OO0,0OU in the corresponding months Of l90'
The imports OF manufacturers materials
in ten months of 1852, therefore, are IL per
cent. higher than those of 1901, the high
est record heretofore, and more than 50
per cent, in excess OF the figures for the
corresponding months OF loyG On the
other hand, exports of manufactures are
also larger Than those of any preceding
ten months period, with the single cN-
ception of 1900 showing AN increase OF
l5,0OO0 900 over the total Tor the ten months
OF 1901, and being actually more than
double the figures for the corresponding
months in 1850
Importations of manufactures OF iron
and steel are larger this Year Than at any
time during The past decade, In the ten
months ending with October, 1902, they
are double those of last year, and three
times as much as those OF 1895, and are
larger than In amy year since 1891. The
total value of iron and steel manufactures
imported in the ten months ending with
October, 1907 is $5l,9S ,O56 against $3.50
Az in the same months OF last year, and
sl053l 900 in the corresponding months of
1898. In practically every class of ARTICLES
the figures of the year just ended are
larger, both In quantity and value, than
those of last year and in many cases the
figures are moro than double those of last
year.
A sories OF tables has been prepared
by the treasury bureau Of statistics,
showing the eHportatiou of manufac-
lures in each year from l79o To 1902, and
the distribution OF each article to every
country ana grand division OF the world
curing the period from 1891 To 1901. ana
this analysis shows that = per cent, OF
the manufactures go to Europe and q per
cent. to North American countries other
than the United St1teS.
