NEW CONDITION IN EXPORTS.


Manufactures formed nearly one-half
Of the exports from the United States
in the month of July. For the first time
in the history of the United States
manufactures are exceeding agricultur-
al products in the expectation OF do
nestle products. Figures just issued by
the department of commerce and labor,
through it's bureau of statistics, show
that in the month of July manufac-
lures exported amounted to 40 million
dollars, against 81 millions of agricul-
tural products; and in the month OF
June manufactures amounted to nearly
AZ millions, against BIN millions of ag-
ricultural products. In former years
agricultural products have greatly ex-
ceeded manufactures in the exports of
the country, and it is only in recent
months that manufactures have equal
ed or exceeded agricultural products in
the export statements.
Even in the seven months ending
with July, 1904. agricultural products
exceed manufactures by nearly 100 mil
lion dollars, but in the month of May,
1904. manufa ctures for the first time in
the history of the country exceeded ag-
ricultural products in the statement of
domestic exports, and this was again
the case in June and in July. In the
month of May. 1904, exports of manu-
features exceeded agricultural products
by about 1 million dollars; in June the
excess of manufactures over agricul-
tural products was over 4 million dol
lars; and in July the excess of manu-
features over agricultural products was
nearly million dollars. In the three
months of May. June, and July, 1904,
lf,,ro 11fS-
exported was s1O6. 500. 133, while the to-
tai value of manufactures exported in
the same period was $120. 7S9,769.
That there is a marked growth in the
expectation of manufactures in shown
by a comparison of the figures of 1904
with those of earlier years. The total
value of manufactures exported in the
seven months ending with July, 1904, is
1885. 495. 72S, or an average of more than
40 million dollars per month. In the
seven months ending with July. 1908,
the total was 1914, 607,S 1852, an average of
30 millions per month. At this rate of
Increase the exports of manufactures
during the calendar year 1904 would ex-
ceed those of 1903 by about 60 million
and bring the grand total for
the year far in excess of any preced- |
ing year.
While it is true that the exports of
in the months of May,
Tune, and July have exceeded the ex-
ports of agricultural products, it should
not be understood that the total man.
fractures exported during the entire
year will exceed the total value of ag-
'icultural products exported. 1t is quite |
apparent. however. that the proportion
which manufactures form of the total |
Exports is steadily increasing and that |
he proportion which agricultural |
PRODUCTS form of the total exports is
steadily decreasing.

Berlin Newspaper Looks for Kuropat-

Berlin, Aug. SO-The Militiare today es-
Inmates the normal strength of the Rus

deductions for killed, wounded or sick.
The military critic of the Kreuz Zeitung
in commenting on this says the effective
strength must be much less, and, judging
from former experience, perhaps so per
cent The writer assumes that the jap
anese losses have been fully compensated
for by the fresh arrivals from Japan and
forecasts the Russian prospects in the
present battle in a pessimistic tone, show
ing that defeat must lead to a great dis
aster. retreat being practically impossi-
BILE on the single highways leading to
Mukden. But, he adds, even the direc-
ton to retreat no longer depends upon
General Kuropatkin alone.

Nothing has occurred during the past
week says Henry Clews & Co.'s F'inan-
cial Review to interrupt the gradual
development of confidence. Crops are
the key to the situation, and as the
country has been favored with another
week of good crop weather the outlook
for the harvest continues exceedingly
satisfactory The indications remain
for a 1000, 900 wheat crop, a 2. 500 600. :
600 corn crop and a 100000 cotton
crop. together with liberal gains I'm the
hay. oats and other important crops.
Aside from the moderate injury to
wheat and the possibility of injury to
corn from early frost, it is many years
since the farmers as a class have mad
as much prosperity in sight as at pres
ent; for it must be remembered that an
abundant harvest is not only within
grasp. but. what is equally important
profitable prices are being obtained for
nearly all farm products. Agriculture
is still the backbone of the country, and
while some of our manufacturing in
dustries may be groaning under diff

complaint, a good season for them

necessities and common Injuries but

expenditures which farmers can and do
abstain from indulging in during lean
seasons. In the south and southwest,
which sections ae particularly depen-
dent upon the farmer. business pros
poets are excellent. and in those regions
at least there is little danger now from
frost to either corn or cotton. The
harvest is now progressing rapidly
and few more days immunity from
severe frost will place the bulk of the
crops out OF reach Of serious injury.
