Your recent writer upon "Motortng

upon too expensive a basis. as 1t seems
to me, when he starts out with a 5000

running from $500 to $500 in cost which
carry five passengers, and give per-

AUTOMOBILE EXPORT TRADE
Business of United States Makers
with Foreign Buyers.
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Canada the Largest Market, but ALI
the World IL Buying Autos or
Auto Parts in the United
States.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Automobiles
and parts thereof exported from the
United States during 1911 will aggregate
approximately 100000 in value. Figures
of the bureau of statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor, show already
for the seven months of the year for
which export statistics are available, over
50, 100000 worth of automobiles exported,
100000 worth OF parts thereof other
than tires, and S1.6OO,OOO worth Of tires,
making the aggregate for the seven
months $i25OO,OO0. Should the exports con-
tinue at the same rate during the five
remaining months Of the year, the total
would cross the so 10000 line. Even this
does not include the automobiles sent to
Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska, which,
with the parts thereof, aggregated over
s1,5O0.oOO value during the last fiscal year.
The increase in the expectation Of this
article of American manufacture has
been almost as rapid as the growth in
then use in the United States The total
value Of automobiles and parts thereof
exported in 1901. only a decade ago, was
less than 100000; in 1902 1t passed the
100000 line; in 1908 II was more than
3l50oO00; in 1905. $25OO,0OO; in 1905, $45Oo,OOO;
in 1907, S5.75O.OO0; in 1909, $4,000; in 1910,
100000, and in 1911 seems likely TO be
for automobiles alone about $14,0oO,0O0; for
parts thereof, except tires, about
SS,5OO,OOO, and for tires about S2,50O,OOo.
These figures are all for calendar years.
Even this increase in value does not
fully represent the increase in the num-
Der OF machines exported, since the ex-
port price has fallen in the meantime. The
average export price OF automobiles ex-
ported in 1908 was in round terms, 5000;
In 1909 $500; In 1910 a little over 81, 800,
and in the seven months of the year 1911
for which figures are now available, a
little over 5000 each, the export price
having thus fallen practically one-half
since 1908, these figures Of average export
prices being obtained by dividing the
stated number OF automobiles exported
into the stated value thereof for each OF
the years in question.
Canada is by far the largest market for
automobiles exported from the United
States. OF the practically 1900 machines
exported in the seven months ending with
July 9, 724 went to Canada; 1875 to the
United Kingdom; 9Ss to British oceania
(chiefly Australia and New Zealand); Az
20 Asia and Oceania other than British;
~ TO South America; 273 to France; It's
10 West Indies and Bermuda; l47 to
Mexico; 1877 to Italy and seventy-three to
Germany. These figures do not include
the shipments to noncontiguous territory
of the United States, the number sent
TO Hawaii in the seven months In ques-
ton being 202; to Porto Rico, I54 and to
Alaska two.
