u preliminary sIhtement OF the eIpOrt
trade OF tho United States for December and
for the last calendar year is q most interesting
and significant exhibit. II shows that dur
Ing the month tho market value Of
breadstufrs exported was 81. G54.3ls great
er than for the same month OF the
previous year. The value OF the cotton ex-
ported was 50, 400, 1927 greater than during De-
cemocr. 1898. This last increase 10 the more
remarkable since the average export value Of
cotton was . cent n pound lower than for the
same month OF the previous year. For the cal
endar year the exports Of brcadstufYs were val
ued at nearly hfty-four and Q half millions
more than for the previous year; while exports
Of mineral oils were 50. $40. 900 greater, and Of
provisions S1.T39.00o greater than during the
previous calendar year. For tho four months
ending Dec. IL the cotton exported was valued
at $3s.3ol 900 more than for the corresponding
period OF 1895. yet tho price OF that staple for
the period mentioned was nearly . cent . pound
less than In the previous year.
The statement Is cumulative evid ance of tho
important part the United States plays In fur
nishing food and various staple products to
other countries. II also shows . decided i'm

little or no attention TO tho statement from
which the above figures are taken. but was tn
nuenced entirely by minor considerations. A
slightly higher market for American securities
In London was responsible for . fairly strong
opening. and the moderate local demand for
stocks disclosed the fact that there werc very
few In sight. This circumstance alone WAS
sufficient to mako the trading short interest
nervous. 1t also induced some traders to mako
ventures on the long side Of the market. The
