tVASHINGTOX. Jan. 7.—Exports of
mniinfactprea from :hc United jRate.-
in the year just ended aggregated mor.-
than 700 million dollars. The Bureau
of . Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and I-abor has completed
the figures for the eleven months end
ing with November, and adding to
conservative estimate for De
fines that the total exports
of manufactures for the full year will,
beyond question, exceed 700 million
dollars. Ten years ago. in the fiscal
year, l^fiG. they amounted to but 2.5S
millions: in 1S4. but 145 millions, and
in 1X76. 105 millions. The share which
manufa times formed of the total ex-
PPTtS was. in 1906. 12 par oentt in
jF-?o. but 30 per cent: in 1SS6. but.
22 per cent, an-1 in lS7t>- 20 per cent.
Titus the exports of manufactures in
11*'S are three and one-ha!f times as
great as a decade ago. and the share
which manufactures form of the total
exports about one-third greater than
at that time. >
This is the first time that exports of
manufactures have crossed or even ap
proximated the 700 million-dollar line.
Even in the fiscal year 1900. which
is only six months away, the total
exports of manufactures were but CS6
millions: 1n 1905, C12 millions: in 1904,
323 millions; in 1903, ISS millions; in
1902. 454 millions: in 1901. 486 millions:
in 1900. 484 millictns: in 1S99. 3S0 mil
lions. and in 189S. 325 millions. Thus
The largest amount disbursed In div
idends this month by any one corpor
ation was by the American Telephone
Company, which distributed 33.173.236.
The next largest amount was 33.967.-
990. paid by the I-ake Shore & Michi
gan Southern Railroad. The largest
interest payment by any one corpor
ation was 33.305,244. paid out l\v the
Great Northern, while the Canadian
Pacific pain out nearly as much, the
amount being 33.300.375. The United !

oil. 44 millions manufacturers of iron
and steel. 32 millions manufactures of
wood, 27 millions leather and manu
factures thereof, 16 millions naval
stores, 13 millions agricultural imple
ments. and the remainder miscellaneous
manufactures.
Of the 1S2 millions dollars' worth of Company of New York paid out 31.449.
manufactures sent to the various 775.
countries of North America. 72 mil- l-
li ns was iron and steel manufactures,
is millions wood manufactures. 10 mil
lions cotton goods. S millions leather
and manufactures thereof, and 7 ! i
millions cars and carriages.
The United States no wholds third
rank among nations as an exporter of
manufactures. The total exports of
manufactures from the United King-
do min the latest year for which sta
tistics are available were 1.333 mil
lion dollars; from Germany, 910 mil
lions; from the United States. 700
millions: from France. 661 millions:
from Netherlands, 347 millions: from
Austria-Hungary. 215 millions: from
Belgium. 204 millions: from Italy, 200
millions: from Switzerland. 141 mil
lions. and from Russia, 117 millions.
It will .thus be seen that in this group
ing of the world's great exporters of
manufactures the United States now
stands third in the list, though it is
proper to add that the figures for the
United States are for the calendar
year 1906, while those for practically
all the other nations quoted are for
the year 1905.
Manufactures form. however. a
much larger percentage of the exports
of the great manufacturing countries !
first, the close finish furnished plenty
of excitement.
To carry out an idea of Police Com
missioner Bingham for a training es
tablishment for tile horses and the
mounted men of the police force the
city has closed a contract for a plot
of twenty-two acres adjoining Kissena
Park, in Flushing, where the new es
tablishment Is to be located.
There, according to Gen. Bingham's
States Steel Corporation paid out | plan, the horses and men of the force
SI.530.375, and the Consolidated Gas ' are to be trained to the minute. The
site selected is to cost the city 3105.-
000, ar.d when the ground is formally
turned over to the police department
there will be built an exercising track
for the _hprses.
New York's greatest art gailery is to
remain undisturbed. The Supreme
Court lias decided that the advertising
signs in the subway must remain.
