fell off in the period following the
financial depression of ls07-0S and,
as u caasequenee the import ead eN-
port figures of nearly all countries
were smaller in 1905 than in the inn
mediate preceding years The IN
crease shown by the figures Of the
current year is in most cases more
distinctly 4 return to normal colldl-
tions than an actual advance from
those which existed prior to the IL
nancial depression OF lsOl-OS.
Tin many eases, however the fig
urcs of the current year are materl-
allv larger than ever before ana 1t IS
probable that the total of intcrnation-
N trade in the calendar wear 1910 VIII
surpass that of any former year.
