An increase OF So million dollars

1sphcrc and a decrease Of "a million
dollars in those 10 the Eastern Hem
isphere during the eleven months OF
the current fiscal year Is an interest
ing fact developed by an analysis Of
the years trade made by the bureau
OF statistics Of the department of com
MERGE and labor. The figures show
that the gains IN Imports occurred In
those parts OF the world IN which
manufactures form the bulk Of the
merchandise imported, white the los
SEES occurred IN those countries In
which foodstuffs constitute an I'M
portant part Of the import trade. or

Grand divisions last ycar, manufac-
lures formed, IA the case Of North
America 60 per cent; South America,
over S5 per cent. Oceania, So per
cent, and Africa, 60 per cent Of the
total. and TO those sections of the
world the exports from the United
Suites increased; while In the case OF
Europe, to which manufactures form
Cd nearly 80 per cent and foodstutfs
81 per cent of the exports. and Asia
TO which manufactures formed 40 per

Nv the figures already quoted, respon-
sihle for practically all the gain Of ~
million dollars made IN the exports
Of the United states. While Oceania
shows q gain Of 8 million and Africa
u gain Of / million in the value Of
exports thereto during the eleven
months, their gain of . million Is more
tina offset by a loss OF 20 million
dollars In exports TO Europe and Ast1,
In 1870 America took 10 LIZ per cent
Of The total exports from the United
states; IL 1900, 16 ~ per cent, and
IN the fiscal year now closing VIII
take over SO per cent. unless the
month OF june should develop q
marked decline IN the share OF the
export trade going TO American coun
tries. Twenty years ago the exports
TO all America from the United states
were valued at 1873 million dollars
In 1910 they viii probably exceed 4fb
million dollars, their relation to the
total exports having increased, as al
ready Indicated. from IS IL per cent
to more than 26 per cent This means
a gain In exports To America In twene
" years Of more than $50 per cent,
