BIGGEST TRADE YEAR
FOREIGN COMMERCE FOR 1905
BREAKS RECORD.
Largest Volume of Imports and Ex-
ports Ever MISUNDERSTANDING Show
ing Gaius-Improveme Since Close
of Fiscal Year-Big August Figures.
Washington correspondence:

Washington correspondence:
Commercial activity indicated by
current statements of the Department
Of Commerce and Labor suggest that,
if business continues at the rate shown
by August foreign trade statistics, the
calendar year of 1905 will enjoy the
largest volume of imports and exports
ever recorded. Figures just published
for August show that exports of manu-
features during that month increased
nearly $9,000,000, or about p per
cent, as compared with August year
ago, and about $20,OO0,0OO as COM
pared with August, 1901.
Meantime manufacturers have in
creased their consumption of materials
imported for use in various processes
of domestic industry until the August
imports of crude materials for use in
manufacturing have increased nearly
100000 over the imports of August,
1904. For the eight months ended with
August there has been an increase Of
about $50,000,000 in imports, compared
with the corresponding period a year
ago.
Up to Aug. 81, 1905, imports amount
ed to $770,412,O 26, as against $685., 269,-
1854 in the preceding year; and exports
were valued at $9Ge,612, 607, as COM
pared with $S51, 203, 457 in the first
eight months of 1904 The value of
manufactures exported during the first
eight months of 1905 practically equal
ed the total exports of manufactures
during the entire calendar year 1899,
being $376, 19S,679, as against a total
of $3.50, 1871 ,S91 for the entire year
1899.
Comparison of Figures.
Current government figures show
also that more manufactures are being
exported from than are imported into
the country-a condition which has
been brought about during the short
period since 1897. Imports of manu-
features Including in that term for
this comparison manufactures ready
for consumption, articles wholly or
partially manufactured for use as ma-
terials in the mechanic arts, and arti-
cleS of voluntary use and luXurieS) ag-
gre Gated during August $45,000,000
while exports of manufactures during
that month showed a total of SOL ,000,-
900. During the eight months ended
with August, 1905, imports of manu-
features, including all degrees of man
ufacture, aggregated $500, 100000,
while exports of manufactures
amounted during the same period to
$376,OOO,OO0.
AS recently as 1897 the records Of
our foreign commerce showed an i'm
portation of $3.50, 100000 worth of
manufactures during the calendar
year, as against $2SO,O00,0OO worth of
manufactures exported. The follow
ing year was the first to show exports
of manufactures in excess of imports
of manufactures, and since 1898 there
has been a steady increase in the out
ward flow of the products of our man
ufacturing industries. During the
eight-month periods of the years
named exports of manufactures have
increased from $190O00,00O in 1897 to
1876, 100000 in 1905, while imports of
