mobiles is shrinking feature OF the
Bureau of Statistics figures. They
show an average valuation for all
automobiles exportedrin= fsts Of
$500 each and in 1912 OF $3.50.
the average export price in 1b12 be-
ing thus but little more thh in one
half that of 1909. This remarkable
fall in the average valuation OF the
automobiles exported Is due in part
to generaR reduetion in the selling
price OF AUTOMOBILES during the
period in question, a disposition on
the part of manufacturers to reduce
the price of the machipes to meet
popular demand. but more especially
TO face the fact that large numbers
OF partially used, or ,"second-handP
machines are. in recent years being
exported to Canda, Mexico and the
West indies, thus reducing the av-
erage valuation OF the entire num-
Der exported.
