next with an advance of Sc per cent. but as
that country is a great distributing centre
for the Continent it is impossible TO say
how much Of these increased imports were
retained fer home consumption. Germany
shows very little change in her import to-
tai. Both France and Austria-H Hungary eX-
hibit very considerable declines in i'm
ports and these two countries display the
greatest advances in exports. Italy, on the
ether hand like Germany. shows little
change in her import tcial Taking the
European countries in the list together it is
found that four exhibit. an increase in
imports of GI7.212,C geo. while two show a
decrease Of E14, ,634. 900, the increase on bal
ance being therefore only G., SIS coo.
The large transit trade passing through
German ports from Austria, Switzerland,
and other European countries, which IS
very imperfectly distinguished from the
German domestic exports. renders 1t ditti-
cult, however. to gauge the exact improve
meut that has taken place, and the on y
safe deduction that can be drawn is that
the outward trade of the Fatherland eX-
hibits very fair advance. Italy, with an
improvement of nearly per cent, has also
done very we'll. and it has not been found
necessary TO make unusually heavy pur-
chases OF foodstuffs abroad. The countries
already enumerated are, however. far sur
passed by France whose actual increase
in exports is the largest in the list, al
though she is only second in the Perc II
tages
Relatively the most remarkable advance
in exports is recorded by Austria-Hunga y,
whose increase of nearly GS000,000 repre-
sents over IL per cent The comparison is
with q poor year, but the advance is never
theless exceptional the principal Increases
being in produce. such as sugar, corn, cat
tie. seeds. and timber. Altogether the
European export business during the nine
months has proved extremely good.

The most remarkable feature is to be
found in the large increase shown by
America, to which no doubt the better
showing made by the European export
trade is To some measure attributable. An
advance of over G22, 900 900 in imports or
% per cent most OF which is in manufac-

in importance comes the British

has the sympathy of a wide circle of
friends.
The senate today defeated the house
