Yet a large part of this total of $650,000,000 worth thas drawn from Europe is of a character i which the United States can readily produce,

In that section of the Orient lying in the temperate zone the United States is muking good progress along certain limited lines of commerce. In colton goods, mineral oils, and copper for China, and machinery, railway supplies, manufactures of iron and 'iteol, and flour for Vorea and Japan, the United States is | rapidly developing-its-sales._____

The United States, the world's largest pro ducer of copper, is finding a ready market in Chins for that article, by reason of the special demand in manufacturing the new class of |coina being largely turned out by the minis of the various provinces. In Japan the build. (Qing and operation of railroads and factories has opened a market. for machinery, railway appliances, and other manufactures of iron and teel, and as the United States is nearer, geographically, to her, principal markets, than are the manufactures of ́Europe these sup plies are drawn largely from the United States. A growing taste in Japan for four, coupled with a shortage of rica in recent years, has led to a small but increasing importation of four from the nearest and most natural market-the Facide coast of the United States.
