Exports of TypewriterS.

The United States leads the world
in the expectation Of typewriters In
the single month of April its exports
under that head exceeded one million
dollars in value as compared with
sl3s, 232 in April 1897, while for the
complete fiscal year which ends with
June the total will be about $4,000
600, or times as much as I'm 1897, the
earliest year for which separate
record Of this trade was made by the
Bureau Of Statistics.
The growth in exports of typewrit-
ing machines has been steadily main
tanned during the Is years covered by
the official. In 1897 the total exporta-
tion was 81, ,453, III; In 1902, SO, 302, 1S1
in 1907, So, ,274, 429; and in 1912, as pre-.
vlously stated, will approximate Sl2,-
100000. From these figures 1t will be
observed that this class of exports
doubles in every five years. For the
entire period from 1897 to 1912 the
aggregate expectation Of typewrlters
OF domestic manufacture has been
$50, ,694, ,336.
The supremacy of the United States
in the expectation of typewrlters,
computing machines and cash regis
tiers is illustrated by the following

Of machinery from the worlds leading
