that the Car Nicholas has Cancelled his
visit to Denmark because Of the plans
formed to unite Crete with Greece and to

An interesting publication en-
led. statistical Abstract of

An interesting publication en-
titled, Statistical Abstract of
the World" has Just been
issued by the treasury department. In
broad sense it covers the earth, be-
ing a standardization of the national
statistics of the world, including area,
population, imports, exports, revenues.
expenditures, debts, money in circula-
ton, principal productions, the sources
| from which imports are drawn and the
countries to which exports are distri-
buted. In the interest of the English
speaking people, these statements are
all reduced to United States standards
! of currency, weights and measure
ments, and hence contain vast
amount of information of special in
lterest to the students, of economics.
The figures thus collected show that
the total international commerce OF
the world now aggregates about S2l,-
/ 000,000,000, of which it appears, SlO,-
| 100000, 900 are exports and ST., 100000
are imports. The fact that all exports
1 eventually become imports, and that
/ all imports have originally been en-
ports, suggest that the export and i'm
port figures should be very nearly the
/ same. The difference noted above
may be traced to transportation or 9TH
, er charges which seem to indicate that
in values, imports are in the lead.
1 These figures, as related to exports,
, f1atter our pride not little, when it is
seen that by comparison with twenty
of the greatest world powers, the
United States was in 1902 the larges:
exporter of domestic merchandise
while iii 1870 she was fourth in the
list, being outranked, as to exports
by France, Germany and the United
Kingdom. In what is called favor
able balance of trade" or excess o.
imports over exports, this country also
holds first place among the nations
her exec OF exports over imports be
ing not only greater than that OF an.
! other country but actually more, il
. 1891, than the total excess of export
over imports of all other collntrie
! whose exports exceed imports. TIL
United Kingdom leads the world in TIL
matter Of imports, two to one, and i
] the United States, three to oEe, &C
! cording to the figures of 1891.
AS far as this country is concerned
