Washington, July S.-Exports Cf manufactures in the fiscal year wncl ended last Thursday are the larg st in the history of our foreign commerce. A statement just issued by the 1zpart- ment of commerce and labor througl its bureau of statistics shows that the total exports of manufactures for the eleven months ending with May. 1904. were S410.656.47S, and as this sum IS $I7OOO,0OO in excess of the elevsr month figures of the year 1sGO. when manufactures made their high-watar mark in eXportations. it seems per- fectly safe to estimate that the to.aI for the full year will be the largeSt in the history of our foreign com merce.
 Comparing the expectations of ni-nu- factures for the eleven months fo.. which figures are now available with those of the corresponding months O. earlier years, it may be said that the total exports of manufactures in the eleven months ending with May, 1904 are practically twice as great as those for the corresponding months of 1896. two and one-half times as great as 1892, practically three times as great as in 1890. and more than three times as great as in 1888.
 In the eleven months ending with May. 1888. the total exportaiion of marufactures was $I20, ,OcO .OCO: in 1880. S12S, ,000,0O0. in 1896, S2O6.

The increase in the expo. tg- tion of manufactures occurs in nearly all claxses of manufactures.
