Excerpt from Commercial Relations of the United States With Foreign Countries, Vol. 1: During the Years 1882 and 1883; (Annual Reports From the Consuls of the United States on the Commerce, Manufactures, Industries, Etc., Of Their Several Districts for the Above Years); Europe The magnitude of Russia's commerce with the United States is much greater than the amount stated by the customs report, and the rank accorded to the latter country in the classification of the nations trad ing with Russia is far below that which its trade entitles it to claim. A glance at the articles imported from the different countries shows that many are credited with merchandise produced in the United States. Thus, for instance, the cotton, petroleum, leather, and in part the agri cultural implements which are credited to England, Germany, and Bel gium are undoubtedly American products and Should be credited to the United States. The same is true of the exports. Goods destined for the United States and Shipped via Germany and England are cred ited to those countries.
