Washington Nov. 17.-Cotton and cotton manufactures comprised more than one fourth of the entire value of domestic products exported from the United States to foreign countries dur ing the last quarter-century, their to- tai for that period being 9,3S4 million dollars out of an aggregate of 35,739 million for all articles. Raw cotton exports in the period from 1890 to 1914, according to figures issued by the department of Commrece through the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, were valued at S,676 mil lion dollars, having inrceased from 25l million in the fiscal year 1890 to l610 million in the fiscal year 1914

 Europe took practically all the raw cotton exported from the United States in earlier years, though more recently Japan has taken considerable quantities. In the fiscal year 1912 the total exports of American cotton to Japan exceeded 240 million pounds and in 1914 were 177 million. Ameri- can cotton goods, on the other hand, have been exported chiefly to Asia and North America and in smaller amounts to South America, Europe, Oceania, and Africa, in order named. While Asia exceeded North America as a market for cotton goods made in the United States when the aggregate for the last 25 years is considered, North America is now the leading market. that section of the world hav-
 ing taken over 40 per cent O. the eX
 ports of the last fiscal year.
 A very large proportion of the cot ton manufactures exported from this country consists of cloths, sen5 during the fiscal year chiefly to the following countries and sections: To China, S9 million yards; the Philippine Islands, S6 million the Central American Re-
 nublics, 36 million; Cuba, 24 million; Hiatt. 23 million; Canada 2 million; Alden. IS million; British West Indies 15 million; India, II million; Colombia, 14 million; Santo Domingo, II million and Chile, 10 million. Europe as whole took million yards; South America 41 million; Oceania, 95 mil lion: Asia, 125 million, Africa 9 mil
 lion; and North America, 13S million.
 Imports of cotton during the last ouarter-century were valued at 9" million dollars, being chiefly from Egypt; while cotton manufactures during the same period showed a total import value of 1,1S6 million dollars, represented in large measure by laces, embroideries, and similar articles made in France, Germany, Switzerland Belgium, and the United Kgindom.
 The foregoing statements are eX- clusively from official reports of the Department of Commerce. Parties interested in ascertaining the value of specified markets for cotton and cot
