increase IN VALUE
Of FOREIGN IMPORTS

900, and manufactures of fbers, about
$1,000, O00."
Bureau Making Analysis.
"Can you indicate what share Of the
increase in imports Is due to advance
in prices of the articles imported?"
Not definitely, as present. The bu.
reau is making an analysis Of imports
and export prices in 1907 compared
with those of earlier years, with the
purpose of trying to determine what
share of the recent increase in our
foreign m is due merely to
higher prices, and what share to an
actual increase in quantity imported
or exported; but at present l am I'M
able definitely t. answer that question.
Responsible for Increases.
81 do know, however, that in many
of the important imports the advance
in price is largely and in many cases
chiefly responsible for the increased
total value of the articles imported"
Not Higher Prices Abroad.
81 do not mean" continued Mr.. Aus
tin, 'to imply that higher prices
abroad are responsible for all, OIL near
ly all of the largely increased total
value of our imports; for there have
been large increases in the quantity of
many articles brought in, especially
those of a class not produced in the
United States Or not produced in suf-
icient quantities for home use.
Less to Spare at Home.
at must be expected that with our
growth of population and increasing
share of population devoting its atten-
ton to manufactures, We shall have
less and less of natural products to
spare for expectation and require more
and more Of foreign products both for
use in manufacturing and in supplying
that class of food requirements not
produced in the United States, and
that in periods of prosperity like the
present the importation of articles of
luxury and high grade manufactures
will also continue large; and that the
maintenance of the present excess of
exports over imports will depend upon
the activity of our manufactures in
marketing their products in other
parts OF the world"
