Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commercial Relations of the United States With Foreign Countries During the Years 1894 and 1895, Vol. 1 of 2
The last review of the foreign trade of the United States and of the several foreign countries, introductory to Commercial Relations, was that for 188041. Since then, Commercial Relations has been issued without any review, being restricted to the annual reports of the consular officers in detail.
The chief reason for this omission has been the smallness of the force constituting the Bureau of Statistics, which has charge of such work, and the increased duties devolving upon it since 1880 from the publi cation Of the monthly Consular Reports, as well as the Special Consular Reports which are issued in addition to the regular monthly series.
When Congress authorized the publication of the Consular Reports in their monthly and special forms, no provision was made for extra clerical force to meet the added requirements, and the staff engaged in the work of compiling the annual volume, Commercial Relations, together with the monthly and special Consular Reports, is at present no larger than it was when the work of the Bureau of Statistics was confined to Commercial Relations alone.
