U. S. EXPORTS INCREASE
ONE BILLION DOLLARS

With That Of Previous
Thirty Years.

The export trade Of the United States

years-lS73 to 19O3-it increased only s917.-
coo, 600 according to the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
Comparing the 1913 figures with those

the list of exports, having gained $685.
COO, 600, or 81 per cent; while breadstuns
fell from second position In 1908 to third
In 1918. and meat and dairy products from
third to fourth place, these groups hav-
ing been passed by iron and steel. which
gained $195 100000. or about 200 per cent,
machinery and engines being the largest
factors.
Increases Noted.
Mineral oils advanced $4,000. 900, which
was more than 100 per cent; copper man
ufactures, $1O1, 100000, or 200 per cent;
and wood and manufactures thereof, $52,-

Breadstuffs barely held their own In
value in exports during the decade with
a gain Of 100000. and but for the
marked advance in barley. oats and rice
would have actually declined. since the
exports of corn fell from 100000 to
forty-seven bushels and those of wheat
