The foreign commerce Of the United

OF the current fiscal year amounted TO

foreign commerce for the fiscal year
1905 would exceed $4,000. .000. 600, q
figure which has not been reached in
any previous year in the history Of
our foreign trade.
This increase, which is shown by
figures just issued by the Department
Of Commerce and Labor. through the

imports and exports, but more espec-
