Until the outbreak of the war in South Africa, the United 

 States export trade in horses was practically confined to 

 Europe and North America. In the years ending June 30th, 

 1900 and 1 90 1, however, South Africa took 10,220 and 37,465 

 head, respectively, out of the 64,722 and 82,250 horses 

 exported in those two years. 



With the exception of shipments in recent years to South 

 Africa, Hawaii and the Philippines, the export trade of the 

 United States in mules has been confined almost exclusively 

 to the Western Hemisphere. The great expansion in the 

 trade shown in 1900 was chiefly due to the shipments of 

 31,014 head to South Africa, 1,260 head to Hawaii, and 1,703 

 head to the Philippines. In 1901 the total shipments of mules 

 from the United States were 8,964 head less than in 1900; 

 but in view of the fact that figures showing the countries of 

 destination of last year's exports are not yet available, the 

 causes of this falling off are not apparent.
