Value Of Manufactures.

Washington.-Fifteen billions OF dol.
lars represents the value of the annual
production of manufacturers in the
United States. After careful estimates
were made by experts, John NJ. Car
son, chief of the bureau of manufac-
lures, was able to make this state
ment in the annual report of the op-
erations Of his bureau, just made pub
lie. The figures do not represent fn-
lshed products entirely, but include
products in various stages of progress.
Last year the aggregate value Of do
mestic merchandise exported was ST.
s54 900, 900. an increase of nearly $780,
100000 over the preceding year. In
this classification manufactures ready
for consumption" are credited with
S4S0,000,000 and the figures are gen
orally accepted as the extent OF the
exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those OF
food stuffs partly or wholly manufac-
tured' and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing" the aggregate
exports Of which last year were 5000.

fifty-eight per cent. of the entire OK
ports of the year. Special significance
is attached to the increase of nearly
s20,00o,000 in the exports of completed
manufactures, in view of the fact that
the exports of cotton clothes declined

entirely in the cotton trade with China

The Gotten seed products exports for
the year were more than $40 900 900,
an increase of S9,500,000 over 1906
In commenting on these figures, the
report says:
aside from its intrinsic value, this
relatively new industry has an econom-
ic value and importance to the country,
the beneficial results of which are es-
pecially felt in the southern states, in
which the cotton seed industry is nat

the aeroplane invented by Wilbur and
Orville c. Wright, brothers. of Dayton.
Ohio, who il is admitted by all aero
nautic experts, have solved the secret
of aerial navigation with a heavier
than air" flying machine.
Both the War Department and the
brothers have guarded the secret con-
tract with great care. and denials were
made by government officials today
that the United States had made any
deal with the Wrights.
After having made the contract with
the government, the brothers, who
had been watched by secret agents
from at least six countries of Europe
and the Far East. took their machine
to pieces and went to Europe II was
said they had gone abroad to negoti-
ate with foreign countries for the sale
of the rights to their aeroplane. but in
fact they are In the employ OF this
country and are under instructions to
get all information possible Of the pro-
eress made by other countries in the
art OF flying.
They are expected back next month.
Then part Of the fruits OF their for
eign mission will be evident.
The government for many years has
spent money secretly in trying to solve
the problems Of aerial navigation, and
in the first of the year. it will begin
to work in the open. While it is not
likely that all the work which the
Wright brothers have accomplished
will be made public, arrangements are
under way for experiments in Fort
Wadsworth in Washington and in var
ious forts throughout the country.
Secretary Taft will ask congress at
the next session to appropriate at least
200, 900 for the building OF an airship
feet The contract with the Wright
brothers, however, is reported to have
been made with money that came from
secret government fund. 1t is from
that same fund that the government
has been spending money for many
years investigating the problem Of air
navigation. Though the United States
had generally thought to be far behind
other countries In this work, the fact
is, in the opinion of one high authority,
that the United States leads the world
