Some interesting Figures Concerning
Foreign Commerce.

Washington, D. C.. Nov 1.-THE
worlds commerce in the latest wear
, for which statifiics are available is
{ pictured in the annual report Of the
} chief of the bureau of statistics Of the
: department. Of commerce and labor
; recently published. Il shows the total
, exports oy all nations Of the world 20
, be ir the latest year available, S10.-
5 515,OO0O00. and the value Of the total
imports of all nations S11 500 900. 900
This would give the total value OF TIE
, worlds imports and exports combined
as s22.324 100000, but since all arti.
cles which were counted as exports
became N tumropinrsbrdlucmfwy y
became in turn imports when they emit
orel the c,mntry OF destination. It,
would appear that the actual salue OF
the articles entering in,o international
: commerce is. in round terms 81 900 p
100000
The chief Of the bureau Of statistics
also estimates The value of the arti-
Giles forming the internal commerce
Of the United States at about 22 bill.
ions OF dollars IN a single year. This
estimate is formed by taking the cen.
sus valuation Of the manufactures.
agricultural products products OF the
fisheries and forests, etc, and adding
thereto the cost OF transportation he
tween producer and the first consumer.
and thus includes in the estimate
value Of the internal commerce only a
single transaction in each article
Thus. while It has been customary
TO speak Of the iuternal commerce Of
the United States as equal to the en-
tire Industrial commerce of the world.
it appears irons this statement that
The actual value Of the merchandise
entering into the internai commerce
Of the United States is practically
twice rs great as that crterihg the in
ternational commerce of the world, /
since both imports and exports are
stated in making up the worlds com
mercial record, which shows the to.
tai value Of the imports and exports
combined as % billions of dollars. In
stating the internal commerce of the
United States only a single transao-
tion IN each article is included. whilo
in stating the international commerce
of the world two transactions in each
article are stated viz, The exports
$40 SIS 100000. and the imports (the
same articles eXpcrted), sl1SOe ,O0o,-
