FOREIGN TRADE SI,475, 900, 900
Imports of Raw Materials Lead-Ex-
ports of Cotton Show Big

ports OF Cotton Show Big
Washington, Jan. 5.-The foreign
commerce of the United States in the
year 1909 will exceed in value that of
any earlier year, with single excep-
tion. The imports will be larger than
in any previous year, while the exports
will fall slightly below those of 1906
and 1907.
The above is an estimate of the
years trade based on official figures
for IL months as presented by the bu-
reau of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor. Assuming that
the twelfth month, December, shows
figures of imports and exports approx
imately equal to those of the immed-
lately preceding month, November, the
imports will aggregate about 81, ,475,-
900, 600, and the exports about 81, $780,
600, 600, of which approximately $685.
900, 900 consists of foreign merchan-
disc exported, and the remainder, ST.
725, 900, 900, domestic products.
Imports free of duty will be larger
than in any earlier year in the history
of our commerce and will aggregate
$500, 100000, against
a little over $500, 900, 900 in 1908 and
1886, 100000 in 1907, the high record
year prior to 1909. Dutiable imports
will amount to about $3.50, 900, 900,
and will be larger than any preceding
year, except possibly in 1907, when
the total was $787, 900. 600. This esti-
mated total of 81, 1,475, 900, 900 of i'm
ports in the year exceeds by over $780,
900, 600 the highest import record of
any earlier year, that of 1907.
Of this $1,475, 900, 900 of imports,
about s525, 900, 900 is raw material
for use in manufacturing and $780,
300, 600 partially manufactured mater
al for further use in manufacturing,
making the total value of manufactur-
'rs' materials imported nearly $780,
200, 600, or more than half the entire
IMPORTS of the year.
