III tle 1eW Iuliy mdnu1dctureO drtl- cles in which it is practicable to show quantities as well as values, .uncolored cotton cloth. amounting to 14 million dollars in value. shows an advance of 49 per cent in price per yard; turpen- tine. amounting to- 10 million dollars, an advance of SS.3 per cent; rails for railways. 47 per cent increase; struc- tural iron and steel. 54.9 per cent; boots and shoes, 30 per cent; cotton '9IIM :lu9o lad I'6e cp9IoIoo) UloIo 2d.s per cent, and Illuminating oil an advance of 1O.4 per cent per unit of quantity in 1907 compared with 1899.
 Thus in the great group foodstuffs, aggregating about 400 million dollars in value, the advance in price ranged from 1 per cent in the case of flour, 4.3 per cent in cattle, per cent in wheat, and 12 per cent in fresh beef, upward up 5S per cent in cotton-seed oil: only two articles. lard and cotton seed oil. showing more than d 50 per cent increase. Tn the great group of articles for use in manufacturing, in- cluding under that term raw material and partially manufactured articles, the dozen articles aggregating over 700 III SlibN duNdHCtS in price ranging much higher than those in the group of foodstuffs, rosin showing an advance of 202.7 per cent in price per unit of quantity; sawed timber, 112.9 per cent; cotton, which alone forms more than one-fourth of the total exports, shows an advance of s2.7 per cent in price per pound: cop per in pigs. bars, etc, an advance of 5S.5 per cent: lumber. 5s.4 per cent; while bituminous coal. parafflin, and flaxseed show advances of about 25 per cent, and anthracite coal. crude mineral oil, slaves. and tobacco in creases in price ranging below 20 per cent per unit of quantity. In the group of wholly manufactured articles. ready for consumption, turpentine shows an advance of SS per cent in value per unit of quantity, structural iron and steel 55 per cent. uncolored cotton cloth 49 per cent, steel rails AZ per cent, boots and shoes 30 per cent, cclored cotton cloth 29 per cent. wire 2S per cent, and refined mineral oil 1G.5 per cent in value per unit of quantity.
 The classes of articles which show
 
 quantities exported are chiefly man. ufactures or articles for use in manu- featuring. while foodstuffs show in many cases a marked reduction in quantity exported and comparativeIy little change in price. Wheat shows decline of more than 50 million bushels. flour nearly 3 million barrels. lard about AS million pounds. bacon over 200 million pounds. beef about million pounds hams about Is mill lion pounds and cotton-seed oil nearly 9 million pounds. In manufacturers material. whether crude or partially manufactured. practically every item shows a marked increase. Cotton shows an increase of 75S million pounds. copper I6S million pounds. leaf tobacco nearly 60 million pounds. coal about million tons, and in other ar ticles for manufacturing increases are also shown. In finished manufactures ! there are marked advances. Boots and shoes show an advance from less than l ? million pairs to nearly millions, wire from 215 million pounds to 36l millions. structural iron and steel from 5000 tons to 125.0O0 tons. and loco- motives from 517 in 1899 to 972 in 1907. while. as already indicated. the ad- vance in price per unit of which it aN erager greater in both manufactur- CTS materials and finished manufac- lures than in foodstuffs.
 Thus had the upland cotton export ed in 1907 been sent at the price of 1899 it would have brought but PAS million dollars. instead of the 4sO mill lions at which it is now reported: the copper if exported at the price of 1899 would have brought but 56 millions. instead of the So millions at which now reported: the lumber 25 millions. in- stead of 70 millions: the sawed tim Der millions. instead of 13: the lard 3. millions. instead of 57: the cotton ! seed oil 10 millions. instead of 11: and the rosin 3 millions instead of H.
