FOUR BILLION
FOREIGN TRADE
That is record of This Coun-
try For the Current
Calendar Year.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Attainment
OF $4,000. 100000 trade by the Unit
ed States in 1912 will be one Of the
most noteworthy facts for historians
to record Of the American nation at
the beginning of the New Year. In
and import trade of the country for
the ten months ending with october.
the bureau of domestic and foreign
commerce today stated the foreign
commerce would reach this enormous
total by the end of December. It's
highest former record was $3.626. .00O,-
900 in 1911. 1t crossed the three bill
lion dollar line for the first time in
1906 and passed two billion in 1899.
Imports in the ten months amounted
to $1,511.000.0O0 and exports to ST.
is7l.OO0,000 making 1t apparent that
the imports of the full year will ap-
proximate s1.s00.00o.0 900 and the ex-

doubled in value since 1901. Exports
Of domestic products which never I'd
touched the two billion mark until
1911. will. in 1912. approximate two
and quarter billion dollars, while
exports of foreign merchandise dur
ing the year probably falls slightly
below the high record of $3.7c5.O0o
900 in 1870
One of the striking features Of the
rapidly enlarging import trade is the
increase in importations Of non-dutia-
bic merchandise. In 1910 1t was hut
$409, 100000 and in 1912 seems likely
to approximate ss75.000.00o.

ions except Africa. especially is ap-
parent in the trade with neighhors on
the American continent
Atlantic ports get the largest share
of the increase in imports. but the

ports show the largest percentages of
gains in exports
