I ; CAIiL/ ; BUREAU. - POST BUTLDINQ/
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.— Despite the
boycott against American products the
export trade of. the' United States with
China .as figured up to November, for 1905
was more 'than twice as' ; large as for the
same ; period . in /any preceding year. This
is shown by a bulletin issued by the
bureau of statistics of the Department of
Commerce arid - Labor. The ; officials who
computed It have not concerned : them
selves with the reasons for this Increase
in the face of the boycott." The advent of
peace, the industrial awakening of the
'entire Chinese -, empire and the efforts
which American cotton "manufacturers
have made to make and maintain an
Oriental market have been potent factors
in the growth of the" export trade. The
bulletin says: '».
I In the month' of ' October/ 1906. for which , the
Department of Commerce, through Its bureau
of statistics, ; has Just announced its figures, the
total | was larrer ; than | In any * preceding Octo
ber, with the single exception of October/ 1004.'
.The total ' value -of * the . merchandise exported:
from thf United . States to China In the ten
months ending ; wjth '\u25a0 October. 1905, was J50.
104.28T,- against $20,637,184 In the correspond
ing ten months of 1904, > which up to that time
was the high" record' year In our trade with
China. . , ' '
/ The i United - States sold to . Canada last
year, exports to .the value of $166,000,000.
This amount constituted more than 62 per
cent -of .the whole Canadian . lmports, and
it-was only 11 per cent of the exports of
the United States.
