Austria is expected to practically double
her duty on the same products.
These announcements are calculated
TO disturb the Greek economic struc-
ture. which rests so largely upon the
success Of the currant industry. but
they do not necessarily forbode harm 20
thirst. because none Of the countries
mentioned has recently figured promi-
neutly in the currant export trade Ger
many excepted for the last year only
and, second because the United King
dom and the United States, the two
largest consumers OF currants, are able
and probably willing to make use of the
surplus without Inconvenience. The dis
turbance Of the market arises from the
hostile commercial attitude OF coun-
tries which have enjoyed a large and
annually increasing trade for their
products in Greece-RussIa in wheat.
France in textiles, Belgium in iron and
coal. Austria in sugar, lumber. and
cereals. and Germany in a variety OF
products There may be an attempt 10
retaliate by imposing a discriminating
duty on the goods imported from these
countries.
Any such attempt would be OF inter
est TO American exporters. as II would
afford them an opportunity to supply the
needs OF this market. England. how
ever. would probably reap the greatest
benefits from any commercial reaTrange-
ments. as her goods have been for years
greatly in evidence in Greece The four
greatest needs OF the COuntry-graiu
coal. iron, and lumber-are the ones
which the United States would best be
able 10 supply"

Interesting

Statistical Abstract Of the World is
the title Of a publication under prepara-
ton by the Treasury Bureau OF Stats
tics. the first section Of which will be
published I'm the forthcoming issue OF
the Monthly Summary OF Commerce
and Finance"
The work when completed will be, as
the title implies, an abstract or sum
narration OF the national statistics Of
the world. including area, population.
imports. exports. revenue. expenditures
debts. money in circulation. principal
productions. the sources from which
imports are drawn. and the countries to
which exports are distributed.
Trade of the World.
The first section. which is to make it's
appearance in the next issue Of the
Monthly summary shows the total
imports and total exports OF every coun-
try OF the world for which statistical
statements can be obtained. extending
back to the earliest period for which
data are available. 1t also includes
statements OF the area. population, rev
enUe. expenditure. debt. interest charge
currency. and stocks OF money OF each
Of the principal countries of the world
at the present time. These statements
are reduced TO United States standards
Of currency. weights, and measurement.
and are therefore easily available both
for the actual Information which they
contain regarding the commerce OF each
country. and for comparison OF country
with country in regard TO the import and
export trade Most OF the tables show
ing imports and exports extend back as
far as 1870. and in many cases much
earlier; that OF France beginning with
the year 1915. the United Kingdom. 1901
and the United States with the year
1890.
An Enormous Aggregate.
These tables show that the total In
ternational commerce OF the world now
aggregates about S21 900 OOo COO OF
which about $40 zoe. goo 900 is exports
and SII .OOO. 600 600 imports. The fact that
all exports eventually become imports
anc that all imports must have been
originally exports suggests that the
value OF the worlds imports should not
materially differ from the figures Of
exports. but the fact that the cost OF
transportation and other charges are
in many cases added 10 the value Of
