IMPORTS OVER a BILLION
For the First Time in History They
Reach This Fisure-Exports a Lit
tie Less Than in 1901, the
Star Year.

Washington, July 22.-The foreign
commerce of the United States in tha
fiscal year just ended Is larger than II
II preceding year in it's history. Thu
total of imports and exports, as shown
by the department Of commerce.
through its bureau of statistics, is, foi
the year 1908, s2,445, 61O,417, against
S ,310,9S7,156 in the year 1901. which
was considered the banner year prior
to 1903. Imports are larger than In
any preceding year and exports are
larger than in any preceding year a V
in the exceptional year 1901. The Inn
ports for the first time crossed the bill
lion dollar line, the total being $1,025,-
619,l27, and the exports forNthe second
time crossed the1400 million line, being
$l,419,991,290, or practically 1920 mil
lions. The single year In which the
value of exports exceeded those of 1908
Is the fiscal year 1901. when the total
was $1,4S7, 764,991. The imports ex-
ceeded those of 1898 by about $159, 000,-
900, and the exports exceeded those OF
1908 by about $572, 0OO, 900. The imports,
therefore, have increased 1874 per cent.
during the decade and exports have in
a CTS per cent. during the same
period.
Some Comparisons,
Comparing the figures of 1903 with
those at decennial periods at earlier
dates, 1t may be said that the imports
Of 1858 were s263,000. 900; those for
1853, $24S,000,o00; for 1873, s642, OOO,-
900; for 1883, $685. 00. 900; for 1898,
sSes 900 900, and for 1903, 81, 025, 900, 900.
The exports of 1858 We're S203, 900, 900;
those for 1868, s204, 900, 900; for 1873,
$522, 900, 900: for 1883, $3.50, OOo, 1000; for
1895, ss+7.o00, goo, and those for 1903
We're within & fraction of 81, APO 900, 900.
The imports OF 1908, therefore, are
less tina four times those of 1858. while
the export for 1908 are practically
seven times those of 1853. The table
