EXPORTS OF
1907
Foreign Commerce Of United
States for Year Is a
Record Breaker.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The foreign
mmer of the United States In 1917
makes n new record both as to imports
and exports. While but eleven months
figures are yet available, the record ior
that period so far exceeds that OF any
corresponding period of earlier years as 70
instifv the statement that the total OF
hoth imnorts and exports will be larger
for the calendar year 1907 than In any
preceding year in the history of our COM
merce.
For the first time the monthly export
record has crossed the 2G0-milllon line, the
total for November, 1907, being S2O4, a'soV'
while the import record of $lS3,llO'lW maze
in March, is the largest total OF importa-
lions in any single month IN lhe his.oiS VI
our commerce.
TIE figures at hand justify the estimate
that the imports of the full year Will ex-
ceed 1.400 millions dollars and that the Elk
norris will probably exceed l,9W mlillons
dollars. If to this we add the TRACE WIN
the non-contiguous territories or the
United States, the value of the merchan-
disc entering the ports of the continental
United States would aggregate nearly li
millions of dollars and the merchandise
leaving the ports of the continental Unlteu
States would aggregate nearly : billions OIL
dollars.
The growth in the foreign
occurs chiefly in manufacturers mhleiiais
and manufactures. In imports, crude ma
teriaI for use in manufacturing shows TOT
the ten months for which figures are avail
able an increase of about 40 million dolars
over the corresponding period OF last year.
and manufactures for further use in manu-
featuring show an increase OF about ~
million dollars, while manufactures READY
for consumption show an Increase Tor tue
period named of 46 million dollars.
On the export side, raw materials Tor
use IN manufacturing show an increase Oh
IS million dollars, manufactures for further
use In manufacturing an increase OF 10
million dollars. and manufactures READY
for consumption an increase of 20 millions.
In foodstuffs there is a slight increase IN
the importations, but a decrease in ex-
portations, as measured by values. Food
stuffs in a crude condition imported show
an increase of about 20 million dollars, and
foodstuffs partly or wholly manufactures
an increase Of II millions. On the export
side, crude stuffs in a crude condition show
a reduction of about half a million dollars
and foodstuffs partly or wholly manufac-
tured a reduction of about 3 million dol
lars, these figures covering only the ten
months ending with October, the analysis
for the eleven months not being yet avail
able.
