EXHIBIT 1.-Classified table of imports for years 1894 and 1899. The classified table of the imports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, was not published when this table was made. A comparison is therefore submitted of the classified imports of 1894 and 1899, sugar having been free of duty in 1894. 88,930, 552 (b) Articles in a crude condition which enter into the various processes of domestic industry. 1894 104, 303, 159 $31,727,243 118,537, 645 22,340, 114 1899 181, 268, 233 (c) Articles wholly or partially manufactured, for use as materials in the manufactures and mechanic arts. (d) Articles manufactured, ready for consumption. 1894 17, 181, 449 13,944, 018 10,825, 800 1899 10, 108, 391 36,842, 708 48,539, 550 46, 118, 522 88,494, 655 100, 627, 056 66,544, 140 83, 646, 981 $275, 831, 974 207, 468, 197 126, 643, 273 218, 110, 941 65, 720,999 60,062,540 99,320, 455 110,735, 447 $9,965, 776 31.41 7.73 43.33 78,757,947 66.44 39.21 30.27 1894 378,968, 718 1899 299,668, 977 EXHIBIT 2.-Analysis of exports, 1895 and 1900 compared. Our exports are now listed in bad form in the Government tables, some of what may be called high types of manufactured goods, called "manufactures" in the census, being recited as products of agriculture, while some very crude products of the mine and the factory are listed as "manufactures. I have, therefore, reclassified the exports under suitable titles, which are given in the following table: $317,063, 044 17,526, 030 1,813, 824 94, 311 470, 112 $226, 946, 224 58,312, 710 26, 471, 979 13,378, 282 1,695, 315 $21, 220, 749 36, 244, 012 6,540, 169 62, 107, 710 3,507, 986 $565, 230, 017 112,082, 752 34,826,042 75,580, 303 5,673, 413 $499, 010, 465 32, 341, 696 5. 020, 471 3, 207, 213 180, 160 $312, 478, 786 98,240, 526 47, 276, 027 18,346, 559 1,343, 374 336, 967, 391 42.47 326,804, 510 41.19 129, 620, 626 16.34 793, 392, 527 100 539,760, 005 39.38 477, 685, 272 34.86 $40, 998, 431 152,061, 463 1, 149, 257 143,823, 151 4,998,579 353,030,881 $852,487, 652 282,643, 685 63,445, 755 165, 376, 923 6,522, 113 1,370, 476, 158 25.76 100 Proportionate increase in export of each class of products. Experts might vary slightly in making this classification, but the margin of difference would be small.-Edward Atkinson, Boston, August, 1900. EXHIBIT 3.-Exports from the United States classified and compared for fiscal years ending June 30, 1895 and 1900. United Kingdom: Great Britain and Ireland. British colonies: British dependencies: British Africa.... Hongkong.. Germany. Netherlands. France Belgium. Italy. Denmark. Spain. Sweden and Norway Austria-Hungary Portugal.. Small European States Switzerland Russia, Baltic. Russia, Black. Russia in Asia EXHIBIT 3.-Exports from the United States classified and compared for fiscal years ending June 30, 1895 and 1900-Continued. EXHIBIT 4.-Exports of the United States 1895 and 1900 compared. Official estimate of exports by continents-Foreign commerce of the United States, fiscal year ending June 30, 1900. EXHIBIT 5.-Export valuations United States to Europe as entered in United States—Imports Europe from United States as entered in Europe. In the subsequent table the credits of imports from the United States are given at the valuations put upon them when they reach the country in which they are in largest measure consumed or from which a part are reexported and therefore counted twice-once at the seaport where they are entered, a second time when they reach the interior country to which they are destined. These home valuations, including freights and other charges and duplications, account for the excess of these import valuations over our valuation of exports at ports of shipment. This table possesses an interest in showing the large extent or proportion of the imports from the United States into European States. Approximate estimates only. Many efforts have been made by the International Statistical Association to establish a uniform system of reporting international commerce, as yet without success. Statistics of exports of domestic products of the United States to European countries are for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1898, 1899. |
