UNITED 8TATE8 THIRD IN
EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES.
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.
