OUR FORE.GN TRADE. Dotseslle Eiporl Forty Times Larger Thau a Century A -. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Frnnk H. llit.-hcock, chief of the section of for eign murkets of the agricultural depart ment, has just issued his annual review of the trude of the I'nited States ill agri cultural products. His report says in part: "The fiscal year liMHJ brought to a close a century of murveloiis development in the history of the I'nited States com merce. Iu IH11O, a century ago, the total value of the merchandise imported and exported in our trade with foreign coun tries was considerably less than a quar ter of a billion dollars. The value of the goods exchuuged during tbe past fiscal year leached nearly two and a q 'arter billions, far exceeding all previous rec ords. Since the opening of the century our commerce with the rest of the world has increased more than twelvefold. "It was chiefly in the export trade that the enormous growth of the century oc curred. Our domestic exports during 1!HM, with a recorded value of $1,370. 703, .171, were over 40 times as large as iu 1800. The total imports for 1000, on the other hand amounting in value to ?MII.IM1,1S4. were less thuu 10 times as large as in 1800. "Products of I'nited States agriculture were marketed abroad in the fiscul year P.XI0 to the valire of fS44.Ulll.530. form ing about 02 per cent of the total domes tic exports. With the single exception of 1S08, the pnst year witnessed the largest annual export trade in farm pro duce oil record. The value attained came within $1.1.IHK),000 of the phenomenal figures for 18! IS, and surpassed those for IS! HI by more than f.Ki.000,000. A con siderable portion of the increase over lS'.IO was accounted for by the higher price of cotton. Aside from cotton the largest gains in value were those afforded by the exports of meat products and live stock. Tobacco, fruits and nuts, vegeta ble oils, oil cake and oil cake meal, dairy products and seeds also furnished ex amples of Increase. "A comparison of the value of our agri cultural exports for l'.KXI with that of our agricultural imports shows that the former exceeded the latter by $424,480, 140. The export value was slightly more than double the amount of the import value. "Among the agricultural imports of the I'nited States for the fiscal year 10110 the leading items, named in the order of values, were sugar, hides nnd skins, cof fee, silk, vegetable fibres, wool, fruits 11 ml nuta. tobacco, tea, wines, vegetable oils and cocoa. These 12 items comprised in value nearly DO per cent of the entire import trade in the products of foreign ngriciilture during the year. "Our principal agricultural exports iu 1000, as in previous years, were bread stuffs, cotton nnd meat products, those with live animals, tobacco oil cake, veg etable oils, fruits and nuts, dairy pro ducts and seeds comprising over 0.1 per cent of our total exports of farm produce during 1000. "The exports for 1808, amounting to 133.81)7.11!). were by far the largest on record. In 1S!)0 the export trade amount ed to $273.0!K).i!!l. this value being ill ex cess of any previously reported except that Just mentioned for 1SPS nnd a rec ord of $200.31 !3.1 17 attained in 1802. The shipments during l'.XH) were valued ut $2(12.744.078, or $11.2.1.1.021 less than the figures returned for 1800." BAIL FOR FOSBURG. It VI I I ConslH or Pari Torment oa a Ituslnesfl Contract.
