A study of this table shows that the
United States, which occupied fourth
place in the list OF exporting countries
in 1870. now shows larger total in
the final column, which represents the
latest available year. than does any
other country In the world.
The United Kingdom. France and
Germany showed in 1870 larger total
of domestic exports than did the Unit
ed States. By 1880 the domestic ex-
ports Of the United States exceeded
those of France and Germany. but
we're still below those of the United
Kingdom. The United States in 1890
occupied similar relation.
In 1902, the latest available year for
which the figures Of the United King
dom, Germany and France are avail
able. the figures of domestic exports
stood:
United Kingdom. s1.S79, 100000; Ger
many. S1.113000, 900; France, $S1S, 000,-

In a few exceptional cases the fig

and colonial products re-exported, but
this is only the case in few of the
smaller countries. which do not show
their domestic exports separately from
the local exports, and in these cases
the share which foreign products re-
exported forms of the total is so small
as not to materially affect the state
