IMPORT PRICES SHRINK.
Export Valuations Higher, Says Blu.
reau of Statistics.

Lower prices for imports and higher
prices for exports were characteristic of
tie foreign trade Of the United States
during the fiscal year 1905. according to
preliminary bulletin of the bureau of
statistics.
This deduction. it is stated. applies es-
pecisly to manufacturers materials inn
ported and foodstuffs exported. In manu-
facturers' materials. whether raw or part
u manufactured, the average prices for
the year were materially lower than for
the preceding year, and were also much
lower at the end of the fiscal year than
at the beginning of the year.
To this falling off in prices is due the
decline in the total value of imports. In
many cases also there was shown to have
been an actual decline in quantity.
Regarding foodstuffs, the bulletin states
that they do not, n rule, share in the
decline in values. either as to imports or
exports, suffered by manufacturers ma
terials.
