COUNTRY'S EXPORTS
ARE DOUBLE IN VALUE
Growth in Manufactures Is
Enormous, But Foodstuffs
Show a Decrease.

The United States is building up quite
a reputation as an exporter. the exports
having doubled in value during the last
decade But the increases have not been
in all lines. the growth of exports in
while exports of foodstuffs have shown
tendency to decrease.
The total value Of the exports OF 1913,
according to figures today made public
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, are approximately $2.4oO.UU.-

steel manufactures as whole snow An
increase from $97,O0O,OOO In lr,5 to little

manufactures. including pigs and bars IN

manufactures increased about - per cent.
their total exports having been 5000

in 1913.
Big Increase in Machinery.
Machinery as a whole increased from
Sol. 900, 600 in 1903 to approximately $780,
100000 in 1913, metal working machinery
from S3.uo1,0pO to $4,000. 900, agricultural
implements from $4,000 GOO to S42 900,

Other articles which showed striking
increases during the decade were patent
shoes. india rubber manufactures, silk
manufactures and even eggs.
Heavy Fall in Beef Exports.
The value of the foodstuffs exported in
1913 was practically the same as during
1903, but in view of the Increased prices
for the material during this decade this
clearly indicates & reduction In guam
tity.
1t is in the detailed consideration OF the
exports that the contrast with cond tions
a decade ago is more striking. Fresh
beef exports, for example, have fallen
from 1910, 900 pounds In 1908 to 1000
600 pounds in 1913 beef cattle from $780,
600 600 value In 1903 to 81 .OOO, 900 in 1913,
and canned beef from 75.0ov,OO0 pounds
in 1903 to 100000 pounds in 1913.
less fall than those of beef. though the
total value of all meat products except
cattle has fallen from $176,v>pJOOO in
1908 to about $50. 10000 in 1915.

AIGRETTES VALUED
AT $500 SEIZED
AT CUSTOM HOUSE

New York, Oct. 27-The largest
single seizure the customs ever made
here, since the new regulations pro-
hibiting the importation of aigrettes
went into effect, is on record at the
customs house, today, as that of
plumes valued at 5000, taken from
Miss Edna Mclaughlin, daughter of a
former police Inspector here who ar
rived, yesterday, from Europe. The
young woman had frankly declared
the fine feathers as part of her ap-
parel which was valued in all at So
600 and was shocked when she learn
ed that regardless of her declaration,
the inspectors must seize the aigrettes.
She protested that she had bought
the plunes in this country but learn
ed to her disrnay that only "a hours
before her arrival an order had been
issued for the seizure of all such
feathers whether originally purchas-
ed in this country or abroad.
Furnished with explanations, the in
spector finally p1ucked the costly
plumes from the hat they were adorn-
ing and sent them to the appraisers
stores. They will, undoubtedly, in
view Of the unequivoca1 language of
the law, be consigned to the furnace
in the basement of the public stores.
