TRADE WITH ASIA.

Statisticians of the Department of Commerce, in order to make a striking showing of progress and growth in our Asiatic trade," have resorted

The Bureau of Statistics in a recent bulletin showing the growth of our commerce with China presents the figures in this way: "Com- paring this growth with that of our commerce with other parts of the world, it may be said that our total exports to Europe in 1993 aggregate a little over $1,000,000,000, against $661,000,000 in 1893, having therefore increas ed less than 63 per cent during that period; those in North Anterica amount to about $215,000,000, against $119,000,000 in 1893, hav- ing thus increased about So per cent; those to South America aggregate about $41,000,000, against $32,co,coo in 1893, an increase of about 39 per cent ; those to Asia in 1903 aggre- gate about $60,000,000, against $16,000,000 in 1893, an increase of 275 per cent. To Oceania the total for the year is about $36,000,000,. against $11,000,000 in 1893, but the exportsnre not properly, comparable with those of 1893H COMPOSITION RED HAND

because of the fact that they do not include the commerce with the Elawaiian Islands, which is considered as a part of the domestic com- merce of the United States. To Africa the total exports, for 1903 aggregate about $38,000,000, against a little less than $6,000,000 in 1893."

It is noted in the bulletin that the figures given of our exports to China do not represent the whole of our exports to that country, as a considerable proportion of the goods exported to Hongkong enter China indirectly and should be credited to our trade with that country. Exports to Hongkong last year aggregated in value something more than $3,000,000, making - our total exports to China and Hongkong to- gether about $27,000,000, as against $8,000,000 in 1893,

Although the percentage method of stating results is not always the most recurate, it nevertheless in this case affords a pleasing proof of the rapidity with which our oriental trade is increasing. As compared with ex- ports of over $1,000,000 to Europe the total Asiatic exports of £60,000,000, is small, Still the trade is growing. It will be a-long time before the Chinese people become able to con- sume American products in anything like the quantity and the quality that now find markets in Europe, but we, may reasonably expect a steady increase right along, and perhaps with the opening of new poits and the awakening of some of the Chinese provinces to civil ization that be: far.

our exports to Chida alone will whee of $100,000,000 a year. In the meantime we must please ourselves with the big per centages shown by comparing the figures of to-day with those of the comparatively petty Lrade of a decade ago.-S. F. Call
