Commerce Report Shows
Better Trade Balances

Conditions Of trade and industry in
marked contrast with those prevailing
N earlier years is revealed in the an
nUal report on the commerce and navi-
cation OF the United States in the fiscal
year Of 1913. issued today by the Depart
nent Of Commerce.
In total trade of S4,27e, ,o0o, 900 last
year, exports exceeded imports by $50
M. 900. while at the middle OF last
century, as shown by earlier reports
Of the series. imports were largely in
excess Of exports. Then imports Of
manufacturers were more than FIVE
times the exports thereof. while in 1913
exports of mapufactures were more
than six times the imports of like
classes.
Meanwhile manufactured articles
have largely replaced farm products
and raw materials Except cotton as
he leading articles contributing to the
export trade.
only in the carrying trade has the
United States lost grade in the last
nalf century. In 1880. for example, 20
rer cent Of the foreign commerce was
carried in American bottoms, while lasl
year 30 per cent was carried IN foreign
bottoms.
