value of raw silk imported was, in
1897. 100000; in 1899, S32, eco 600; in
1900. Sl5,000,00O, and in the present fiscal
year seems likely to be $50, 900 coo. From
the silk thus imported the slk-manu-
featuring Establishments OF the United
States produced in the year 1900 silk
goods valued at over $780, coo. ana iii
view OF the fact that the raw silk inn
pCrtations of the present fiscal year

and q comparison OF the progress made
by the various countries makes very
satisfactory showing for the United
States. The countries discussed are
grouped by grand divisions. In Eu-
rope d very large proportion CT the
countries show larger imports than ecl-
ports. In America, and indeed most
OF the younger countries. the eS-
ports exceed the imports, save in
few instances in which he country IS
so extremely young that it has not de-
veioped its producing powers. III the
Orient some countries, notably India,
export more than they import; While
in other cases, notably Japan and
China, the imports exceed the exports.
Taking the European countries in
the alphabetical order in which they
are arranged, Austria Hungary shows
q growth in imports from $210 100000 in
