The United States leads the worlc

The United States leads the world
in the expectation of agricultural inn
plements, with the United Kingdom
as its principal competitor. In the
fifteen years ending 1905 the extern
sion of trade to foreign countries has
been remarkable. The value of ex-
ports during the fiscal year 1905
formed 1875 per cent of the total value
of products of the census year 1905
and 15.9 per cent in 1900. whereas in
1890 the proportion was only Az per
cent. Russia and Argentina, the two
great wheat producing countries, were
in 1905 the leading importers of
American agricultural machinery.
Russia received 1876 per cent of the
total value of exports. nearly four
times as much as in 1900, and Argen-
tina 24S per cent, an increase of
1857 per cent.
