products. But during the war all goods manufactured at and near 
Strasburg, and destined for this country, had to be exported directly. 
Silk head-nets, which stand third in amount of value on the list of ex- 
ports from that district to the United States in 1871, have always been 
manufactured almost exclusively in Alsace; and yet there had been no 
direct export of them to this country previous to January, 1871, but 
they had been conveyed in bulk from the place of production to Paris, 
where they were assorted, put up in fancy boxes, and thence shipped. 
The same was true in part with respect to most, if not all, articles pro- 
duced in Alsace-Lorain and imported into the United States. Since the 
restoration of order and the re-opening of old avenues of transporta- 
tion through France, direct exports from Strasburg to the United States 
are again diminishing, and may yet settle down to what they were be- 
fore the war, though it is not yet safe to predict what effect the cession 
of that territory to Prussia is to have upon its manufacturing and com- 
mercial interests and relations. Many of its manufacturers, because of 
old business connections or of political preference, seem now disposed 
to transfer their business to French territory. 
The following table exhibits the several kinds and values of exports 
from the consular district of Strasburg and Miilhausen to the United 
States for the year ending September 30, 1871: .
