be adversely affected by the European
conflict because OF the prominece OF the
leading contestants and their allies in
foreign trade relations with the United
States
Nearly every important branch Of our
export trade is adversely affected by
the war conditions in Europe. The big
gest item is, of course. cotton. For the
twelve months ending with June 30, 1914.
the amount OF raw cotton exported to all
foreign countries was valued at f546,-
$4,000. The oil trade, especially mineral
oils, Is another important industry to
feel the immediate effects Of these wars.
Many contracts for Reggie sales Of to-
bacco to European countries have been
Cancelled in the South. Lumber and
naval stores have likewise suffered.
