The Wall Street Summary; In exports of manufactured commodities the United states stands third on the list of nations with a credit of $700,000,000 for 1906. Eug- land Is first and Germany second. In to tal domestic manufactures, we far aud away exceed either, but our home conaump- tlon la so heavy, our export market Is not yet In the same data. In England nud Germany the obverse la true. Tbo borne demand Is light and the export consequent ly heavy. ’Hint wo will succeed lu chung- mlne to do so. As an lllumlnant. the following la pertinent: In 1876. our exports of mennfacturehs were only $101,000,000. In 1886, they Increased to $136,000,000. In 1896. onr total stood nt $228,000,000. and. In 1906. at $700.000.000: Monthly returns received 1 this rear Indicate that last year’# figures will be surpassed. Manufactured exports were only 16 per-rent of onr total In 1892 and 40 per cent in 1906. The story of our Industrial and commercial development Is eloquently told In these figures.
