IMPORT AND EXPORT TRADE.
Statement Showing Changing
Character Of Commerce.

Changing character Of the commerce of
the United States and the occupations of
American people is indicated in a state
ment today by the Department of Com
merce on the notable features Of the i'm
port and export trade during the fiscal
year 1918 compared with the trade of
earlier years. 1t is shown that agricul-
tural products which formed. in 1880,
S4.3 per cent OF the total domestic ex-
ports, were. In 1913. 461 per cent Of the
total. Exports Of manufactures, exclu-
sive of foodstuffs, which were, in 1880.
14.78 per cent Of the total. were, in 1918,
1873 per cent.
According to the department, the
transition of the United States from an
exporter Of natural products to an ex-
porter Of manufactures has been a steady
movement during the last third Of q cen
tury. Crude foodstuffs which formed, In
1880, 323 per cent Of the exports, grad
ually diminished and were, in 1912, but
4.6 per cent OF the total. In 1913, how
ever, their percentage was slightly larger.
7.49 per cent. due to q. large wheat crop
and unusually heavy exports Of that
commodity.
Exports Of agricultural products during
the fiscal year 1918 aggregated 1.1s5.1
million dollars and exports Of manufac-
lures considerably more than 81 ,ooc, CO.,.

Expect Other Victories
to Follow Torreon Battle,
Bringing Fall of Huerta

Claiming that only some unforeseen
circumstance can prevent Gen. Villa
from capturing Torreon within a few
hours, and that other rebels will cap
ture Tampico in the near future, Mex
lean constitutionalists were confident
today that the end of the Huerta
regime is in sight
They said their news indicated that
Monterey and Saltillo, to the east of
Torreon, are already surrounded by
rebel forces, that Gen. Obregon, with
q large force. is advancing rapidly
down the west coast. and that advances
are being made all along the line.
The latest news received by the consti-
tutionalists from the front was that Viii
las forces were fighting in the streets
of Torreon, and were steadily driving the
federals back. Their information was that
the federals we're penned in on all sides.

The Mexican embassy here received no
news this morning regarding the situa-
ton at Torreon. Senior Algara, the
charge OF the embassy, was anxiously
awaiting dispatches from Mexico City, be-
heving that press dispatches describing
Villas advance were incorrect.
The only concern over the situation al
rorreon shown by the constitutionalists
was on the Question Of whether Villas
force will be able to advance after taking
Torreon. They feared that the stubborn
resistance put UP by the federals would
cripple Villa, at least temporarily
