WashixgtOxV, D. C, November 20, 1889. 



Sir: I have the honor to submit the followino- report of tlic operations of the ex- 

 change bureau for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889. During the greater part of 

 this time the bureau was under the charge of the late Dr. Jerome H. Kulder, whose 

 abhi administration has contributed largely to its present efficiency. At the date of 

 his death, April G, 1889, Mr. Boehmer, upon whom the care of the office immediately 

 devolved, reported that the exchange department, for the first time in its history, had 

 disposed of all packages received, and was prepared to close its book accounts. 



In continuation of the statistics usually presented, the following table exhibits in 

 detail the exchange transactions for each month of the iiscal year:
