German Bicycle Exports.

German Bicycle Exports.
The German export of bicycles for
the year 1900 was $2,5O0,000. This
figure is exceeded by the English ex-
port for the same year, which was
$2,57O,OOO; and by the American eX-
port, which was $3,07O,0OO Germany
had, however, made gain, for her
exports in 1899 were but $2,7S5,0 900,
while the English were $3,213,000 and
the United States $4,S07, ,000 During
the year 1901, Germany rose to the
head of the list, with an export of
S., ,927, 900, while England came next
with $2,SOS,O 900, and the United States
had only So. .595.000 These figures in
clude complete bicycles as well as
parts. Of particular interest is the
decline in the American export, which
in 1898 amounted to $7,150,000, or as
much as the combined exports of
England and Germany. The eXplana-
tion of this decline is found in the
strong restriction of the European
market. In 1898, Europe took So
236,OO worth of bicycles from Amer
lea; in 1901, only $1,475,OO of which
$5OO,0OO were taken by England and
about the same amount by Germany.
During the first six months of 1902,
the German export shows a further
gain, the total being $2,33 900, or an
increase of $5OOOO0 over the same
period of 1901. Most of the countries
of Europe are reported to have i'm
ported more German bicycles during
| the first six months of 1902 than
either English or American wheels.

Depression i'm British ShipbuiIding.
The shipbuilding trade of Great
Britain is comparatively stagnant
this winter. The tonnage of mer-
chant ships in course of construction
within the kingdom is less than at
any time since 1897. Then, the guam
tity of work on hand had for long
time been fiuctuating between 6o0,-
900 and 100000 tons. In the fall of
that year an improvement began,
which led up to tonnage of 1,414, 120
a year ago. There has since been
steady decline, to 1,0O0,714 tons at
present. The regularity of the de-
crease-about 10000 tons a month
is striking. Several thousand en-
ployes have been discharged from
the shipyards during the last two
months. F. w. MAHIN.
