 Washington, March 22.--The United States now ranks third among the worlds exporters of manufactures, &C., coFding to a monograph on "exports of manufactures from the United States and the distribution issued to- day by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor.
 It is shown that not only do the exports of manufactures now exceed S700, 100000 per aDnum and have dou- bled in value in single decade, but the share which products Of the fac- tory form of the total exports is stead fly increasing. A comparison shows that 1880 manufactures formed but fifteen per cent. of the total exports of domestic products, while in 1906 they formed forty per cent.
 With the rapid increase of popula- tion in the United States and con- sumption of natural products the quantity of food and raw materials remaining for distribution to the other ports of the world has not in- creased approximately. and with the development of manufacturing facili- ties and the trend of population to the manufacturing centers, production of manufactures has rapidly increased, and the surplus of these manufae- lures which may be spared for for- eign markets hdb alSo iuSfodsSn.
 Foodstuffs. which in 1890 formed forty-two per cent. of the total ex- ports of domestic products formed in 1906 but thirty-one per cent. of the total; articles in a crude condition for use in manufacturing which, in 1890 fo%sned thirty-six per cent. of the to- tai formed in 1908 but twenty-nine per cent, while manufactures increas- ed their share in the exports from twenty-one per cent. in 1890 to forty per cent. in 1906.

 Generally fair weather prevails over all the country to the east of the Rocky Noun tains. The highest pressure covers the South Atlantic states, while areas of quite low pressure are centered over tho lakes and the north Rocky mountains states This arFangemsnt causes an inflow of warm air into the interior of the country and the result is abnormally high temperatures that now prevail in the greater part of the east ern two-thirds of the country. In all the states to the east of the Mississippi river, except Alabama and Aississippi the weather is warmer than on Thursday; fin the terri tory to the west of the Mississippi the tenn perature has fallen slightly.

impossible at present to make any
estimate Of the damage to the ship
and her cargo, 1t is probable that
practicable all Of the cotton In the

This alone will mean loss Of nearly
