Washington, August 4th. Farures just made public by the Department of Commerce and Labour show so healthful an Increase in the commerce between the United States and Philippine Islands as to ocassion ortender comment throughout the country, and call forth various editorial comments. The of Bois! figaros for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, show the total exports to the Philippines to have heen $16,832,645, as compared with $1,189,441 the previous year and $11,541,732 in 1908.

The imports from the island show au- even greater increase, amounting to over 83 per cont. over list your, the guns showing imports for 1910 amounting to 17.317.987 compared with 89,433,986 in 1909

Manila Abrea also showed a remarkable. increase in the list of imports in 1910 amount- ing to 92,705 töris, valued al $10,435,743 68 compared with 61,682 tons, vained at 87,127,187, in 1909 and 52,233 tons, valued at $3,922,800, in 1908. No figures appoar in the advanco summary on the tobacou trade, but the increased importations of that commodity have been equally satisfying.

Dealing with the entire commerce of the United States the exports of manufacturas in the fiscal year 1910 exceeded those of any earlier year and imports of manufacturers' ma terials in 1910 were als: the largest on record. This is a summarization of na analysis of the year's imports and exports just prepared by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commorna and Labour.
