M@ll IEGJ Eleven months figures supplied by ii
bureau Of statistics Of the Deparme
OF Commerce and Labor show exports Of manufacture
aggregating 700 million doIlors; monthly averag
during those eleven months Of GA millions thus ustifyn
the statement that the December figures not yet available
will bring the total for the year above the hree-quarer
Of billion dollar line
This means that the exports of manufactures have aver
aged more than million dollars day during the entir
year, including every day in the calendar year wa
only beginning with the year 1899 that the exports q
manufactures reached as much as one million dollars
day. basng the statement upon the average Of the yeal
while prior to l790 they had never reached as much as
half million dollars day.
Only three occasions during the vast wear did III,
value Of manufactures exported tall below go million dol
lars for single month, In the month Of 6une they ex
cesded 70 million dollars or as much for that single
month those Of the entire year 1860 and considerably
more than in any twelve months period prior to ha
year.
The value Of manufactures exported in 1907 will ap
proxmate IIO million dollars against 81 millions in 1897
l49 millions in 1887 IA millions in 1877 50 millions in
1867 and Al millions in 1858 the figures of those earlier
periods being those Of fiscal years
Thus it may be said in word that the manufactures
exported in 1907 averaged more than million dollars
day, against less than | million dollars day in 1897
and that the value Of these exports in the single month Of
June was more than in the entire year of 1870. The
share which manufactures form Of the total exports in the
eleven months Of 1907 for which sastics are available is
4l/ per cent which slightly exceeds the share which
manufactures formed Of the exports in any earlier year
Manufactures imported in 1907 aggregated in value
about $50 million dollars, against approximately ITO
million dollars value Of manufactures exported thus nd
eating that the exploration Of manufactures now exceeds
the importation OF manufactures by about 120 million dol.
lars per Prior to the fiscal year 1897 manufac
lures imported always exceeded in value those exported
I'm lo6O manufactures imported amounted to 270 millions
and those exported AZ millions; in 1870 manufactures
imported we're 229 millions and those exported 20 mil
ons in 1850, imports Of manufactures were 3O7 millions
and exports l22 millions; in 1890 imports we're 348 mil
lions and exports ITO mions in 1896 imports were 1928
lions and exports 258 millions
In 1897 for the first time exports Of manufactures ex
ceeded imports Of manufactures the figures for that wear
being imports 3O6 millions, exports 81 millions. From
1857 to l9O/ manufactures exported have every fiscal
year exceeded in value those imported and in 1907 the
exports OF manufactures will as above indicated exceed
the imports OF manufactures by approximately 120 million
dollars In all the above statements OF manufactures
whether imports exports the great groups Of the
bureau OF ascs manufacturers ready for consumption
and manufactures for future use in manufacturing" are
combined to form the general group Of manufactures
Comparing 1907 with the Immediately preceding wear.
The group, manufacturers for future use in manufacturing
will show an increase Of about rs million dollars and
orm about IA IL Of the exports; and the group
ot manufactures ready for consumption will show an in
Of about rs millions and form over 27 Der cent Of
Exports. On the import side manufactures ready for
will show an increase Of about so million
loars and manufactures for further use in manufacturing
IN increase Of about Is millions while manufacturers RAN
material show for the eleven months for which figures are
available gain Of "a million dollars thus indicating that
he manufactures have drwn from abroad greater value
raw materials for use in manufacturing than IS the i'm
nediatey proceeding indeed in any earlier year
The gain Of approximately so million dollars n value o
manufactures exoed during the year occurs in nearly ali
( the imported articles
