UNITED STATES IN THE
COMMERCE OF WORLD
Furnishes Ten Per Cent of the Total of Manu-
features.

Four billions of dollars is the estimated
annual value of the manufactures which
enter into the international commerce OF
the world or this sum, the United States
furnishes $4OO, 900 600, or 10 per cent OF
the total This is the conclusion of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics from an
analysis of the international commerce
of the principal countries of the world,
an analysis which it has made for use
in conjunction with it's Forthcoming
volume on our commerce in manu-
features.
The rapid growth in the expectation o.
manufactures from the United States-ar
increase of more than 100 per cent since
lS95-has led the Bureau of Statistics to
the preparation of an elaborate state
ment of the distribution of manufactures
showing the value of every important
manufactured article exported in each
year from 1890 to 1902 and every country
10 which each article was sent during
the period from 1892 to 1902, also the
total value of American manufactures
sent to each country of the world in each
year during that term.
Distribution of Manufactures.
In considering the question of the dis
tribution of our manufactures, the con-
Stunning power of the various countries
and the production and exports of the
other manufacturing countries of the
world are subjects of interest, and the
Bureau of Statistics, therefore, presents
In conjunction with its statement of our
own expectations of manufactures, state
ments of the importations, production
and distribution OF manufactures by the
principal countries of the world.
The imports and exports of manu-
features into and from twenty principal
countries of the world are given, and
estimating the remaining countries, the
bureau states the grand total of manu-
features entering into international COM
merce at about $4,000 900, 900 per annum
OF this the United Kingdom supplies ST.
600. 10000, or % per cent; Germany sup
plies 20 per cent, France about II pei
cent, the United States 10 per cent, and
Netherlands about per cent. Curiously,
the nations which are the largest export
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-05-18

ers of manufactures are also the largest
importers Of manufactures, this being
due in part to the fact that much Of the
material which they use in manufactur-
ing is produced in other countries and
imported In the first stage of manufac-
ture, while other manufactures imported
are composed of articles produced IL
other parts of the world and not produc-
ed in the countries in question.
Imports and Exports.
In the case of the United Kingdom, for
example. which imports S725, 900. 600
worth of manufactures annually, $780,
900, 900 represents the value of copper,
chiefly imported from the United States
in the form of pigs and bars, the first
process Of manufacture; s65, 000. 900.
manufactures of silk, of which the ma
terial Is not produced in the United
Kingdom; s63, 900, 900 wool, much OF
which Is imported in the first stage of
manufacture; se7,000.O00 foods ard
drinks. chiefly in the first stage OF man
after importation becomes a material
for use in manufacturing.
Expectation of manufactures exceeds
Importation of me- nufactures in the
United Kingdom, Germany, France, the
United States, Austria Hungary, Bel
gium, and Switzerland, respectively,
while in all other countries of the world
importation of manufactures exceeds
expectation of manufactures. Manufac-
lures form so per cent of the exports
of Switzerland, IS per cent of the ex-
ports of the United Kingdom and Ger
many, respectively; 81 per cent of those
OF France; 90 per cent of those of Bel
GUM, 4S per cent of those of Austria
Hungary, A. per cent of those of Japan,
Al per cent of these of Sweden, and 80
per cent of those of the United States.
Turning to the import side. it is found
that manufactures form 76 per cent of
the imDortations into Australia, 68 per
cent of those into Argentina, 81 per cent
of the imports OF Canada, 80 per cent OF
those of Japan, SO per cent of those OF
the United States, and % per cent of
those of the United Kingdom and Ger
many, respectively.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1S.-The strike in
this city of trade unionists seems to be
nearing an end, so far as the shutting
down OF business Is concerned. The
first break in the teamsters' ranks came
yesterday when twenty men en-

the employers, but it was said that the
latter demand lower scale OF wages.
Several of the large downtown res

a concession thus far. and say that the

Selection of Site.


Mr.. Coville said that the selection Of
the site for desert laboratory was not
an easy matter, and q wide area of
country was examined before a decision
was reached. The requirements were
that the site should be in a country
with distinctly desert climate and
flora, that the flora should be varied.
that the place should be accessible, and
that IT should be arid
There are places where the desert Is
more forbiddins and contains less vege-
tation than the region around Tucson.
but their flora is scarce and limited TO
such few species that the opportunities
for observation would be greatly limited
Other places were disqualified because
they were so inaccessible and so far
from civilization that II was feared that
the isolation would prey on the minds
OF the students and interfere with their
Investigations.
Another consideration was that the
site must be in place which would Lot
be invaded by Irrigation for at least
five years, the period for which the ap-
preparation was made. because it was
feared that even though the irrigation
bitches were some distance away enough

Tropical laboratories. marine labora-

most all forms OF life have been estab-

to establish one for the study of desert
plants. The committee which recon-
mended the appropriation for the one
now being built stated that in view OF
the rapid growth OF population and the
necessity arising for the increase IN the
food producing area immediate attention
should be paid TO arid waste lands with
a view TO determining the character OF
their plants and deducing lessons which
will be helpful TO those who will event.
