NEW COMMERCE RECORD.
Combined Exports and Imports of United
States for Fiscal Year Break All Records.
IRON THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington, June 19-The largest total commerce.
exports and imports combined. the United States
has ever enjoyed will be reached during the fiscal
year ending with this month The aggregate sum-
as estimated by the Bureau of Statistics after COM
piing the commerce statistics for the eleven months
Of the fiscal year, will amount to about g. 400 O00 600
Of which amount exports Will be represented by
approximately, Sl,4O0O0oO0O and imports by 5000
COO 600.
The eleven months figures which justify these
estimates show that the imports OF the eleven
months ended with May were S43597,194 and the
exports 81 324 1913 23. For the twelve months ended
with May the imports are $1o15712,24S and the ex-
ports S14l3.733 776. AS the largest imports in
earlier fiscal year were 1908 800 94 in 1902 IT is ap
parent that the total imports Of the present fiscal
year will exceed those Of any preceding year, and
that they will also exceed billion dollars since
they have not fallen below s73.O000OO in any month
Of the last year and in the eleven months
within $4,000 600 of the billion dollar line
AS the largest exports Of any preceding year ex-
cept 1901 S3S 43O2. in 1900, and those of the
eleven months ended with May $,324 493, 293
and the smallest exports Of any month in the year
were $S8 00OGO II is apparent that when the month
of June is added the export total for the year will
exceed that of 1900. and Will pass the a4000o0o00
line The largest to total c0mmerce Of any earlier
1t only in the year 1872 that the total COM
