BIG DECREASE IN
TRADE WITH CHINA
Department. of Commerce of Labor
Forsets the Boycott and Has
Another Reason.
lRy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. IL
That American importations of cotton
goods to China suffered a severe fall
ing off during the year just closed,
is the assertion made in statement
issued today by the bureau of Stats
tics Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. The reason for this
marked decline in China's importa-
tions of cotton products is due, it is
explained. to the fact that the Flowery
Kingdom bought more of these goods
than she can consume one year ago.
1t is shown that China purchased
about fourteen million dollars worth
less of cotton goods for the eleven
months, ending with November last,
than during a corresponding period
in 1905. American importations in
China. the eleven months in 1905. ag.
gresated $31,0O0,0OO and in the same
period during the past year they
amounted to only s17000,O00. Kero.
sene the second article in Importance
of the American export trade to
China also shows a marked decline
for the last year. During eleven
months in 1905 our export trade in
that product amounted to $71 500 900
gallons while in a like period in the
past year the exports to China had
fallen to only about $44,000,000.

His season is not confined to the sum-
