these. S04. .456 arrived at United States
continental ports. 1870 at insular
ports, either Hawaii or Porto Rico,
and S5.92O at Canadian ports.
OF the total steerage immigration,
's14,507 were Europeans and 29,966
Asiatics, while 1858 came from all
other sources
In addition to the steerage aliens,
there arrived 64.269 cabin passengers,
making an aggregate immigration Of
921,315, or 105,043 in excess of the
greatest number heretofore reported
for any year.
The ratio Of increase of aliens from
countries OF northern and western Eu-
rope. as compared with arrivals from
the same countries for the preceding
year, was about AZ per cent, while
from the countries of eastern and
southern Europe It was only about q
per cent In spite OF the more rapid
increase from northern and western
Europe, the great bulk of European
aliens, numbering 572,726. came from
the three countries of Austria-Hung-
airy, Italy and Russia.

The norh does not appreciate what
a large share of prosperity has come
to the southern states by reason Of
the high price II cotton in recent
years The MAJ rturers' Record Of
Baltimore. points ut that the excess
value OF the cotton crops of the last
Ave years over the preceding Eve
years amounts to sSOO,0o0OO).
That is to say that the rise in the
price Of cotton has been worth $780,
100000 a year to the farmers Of the
south.
That much increased wealth can not
fail to have a siimula ing effect on
southern development It means a
vast accession to the southern capital
The excess value in fve years is more
than twice the entire capital inves ed
in all the cotton mills of the United
States in 1900 It is more than the
market value of the Standard OIL
company, and more than the entire
capital Of all the rational banks
The Manufacturers Record esd
mates that the valas az tn 5 years
crop including the seed, is about
s65O, 600, O00. Think of ~
No wonder that the south, like the
west, cares little about what goes on
in Wall street.

The foreign commerce Of the last

the Increase in the past decade has
been more than that Of the two i'm

ed
The imports of the year exceeded by
more than hundred millions those
OF any preceding year. and for the
first time passed the billion dollar
line. The exports were larger than
In any preceding year, with the single
exception Of the record year 1901. and,
despite the extraordinary demands of
the home market fell out $67626,3l2
below those OF that year The large
imports are attributed TO the great
demands Of the manufacturers for
material for use 10 their workshops
and in part &c the general prosperity
which led 10 an increase In the impor

The value Of the raw material i'm
