Washington, June 11.-Consular
Agent Neuer reports. from Gera

that wooden dress goods form the
principal article exported from

the existence of our present tariff. ana
since the manufacture OF WOODEN dress
goods in the United States has de-
veloped in so remarkable manner
the exports have continually de-
creased. How enormous the decline IN
the shipments Of this line has been -
shown by the fact that their value was
$1,7S7 900 in 1895, against S5e6,0O0 in lsoi
Many manufacturers have discon-
tinued the export of dress goods to the
United States, and We're it not for the
constant efforts of some OF the largest
mills in furnishing new and attractive
designs the exports would have ceaseu
altogether Russia ana Austria aiso
take only in limited quantities OF Geia
