 The census reports present the fig ures of agricultural p1 oductions m 1870 and decenniauy down to and including 1900. The bureau of statistics discus sion of eXportation of manufact ctures presents 6 table showing gross value Of manufactures produced in 1870 and 1890 as reported by the census, and the to- tai value of manufactures exported in those years as reported by the bureau oi statistics; also the census figures of agricultural products in 1870 and 19Co. and the bureau Of statistics figures Of expo; tation of agricultural products in those years. This table is not made with the purpose of comparing the bureau of statistics figures of expor- t2tion with the census figures of pro duction, since the difference in classi- f1cation makes such comparison irn- practicable; but the figures gre pre- serted side by side for the purpose Of showing the relative growth in the two great classes, agricultural products and manufactures. They show, when thus considered, that agIicuiturally prodCc- ton is twice as great and agricultural expCrta tation little more than twice es great ii 1900 as in 1870; but that the production of manufactures is three times as great and eXportation of man. ufactUTes six times as great in 1900 as in 1870

Washington, April 2G-The rapid growth in the exportation of nanufac- lures from the United States is illus trated by some comparative figures in discussion by the treasury bureau of statistics of cur export trade in manufactures to be presented in the April number o: the Monthly Sum- mary of Commerce and Finance. The figures compare production and eXpC-- tation of manufactures with prOduC- ton and eXportatiCn of agricultural products, the purpose being to show the relative growth in each case. While the census figures include under the term Of manufactures" many arti- cles not so included by the bureau of ztatistics in it's classification Of man uf2ctUrers, the fact that the compar- ison is simply that of the year 1909 with 1870 for the purpose of showing growth and not a comparison of total exports with total production, justifies the comparison and furnishes a basis for measuring the relative growth in production and eXportation Of products Of agriculture. The census figures Go not state the total value Of agricultural products earlier than 1870 but G0 state the gross value of manufactures pro- duced in the United States in 1850 was, n round terms. one billion dollars, and in 1890, 13 billions; so that the pro- duct of 1860 may be said to be thirteen times as great as that Of 1850.
