MANY COMMERCE
MARKS. SHATTERED
Import and Export Statistics
Show Balance in Favor of
United States.

Many records were broken in the COM
merse OF the United States during the
calendar year 1913.
Statistics compiled by the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment OF Commerce, show the i'm
ports will approximate $l,75000O. 600 in
value, and the exports $500, ,OOO,Oe
These figures leave the balance of trade
in favor Of the United States at
$40 900 600. -sE-.
The figures of exports and of excess
of exports over imports will exceed
those OF any earlier year. The largest
export in any preceding calendar year
was that OF 1872, which showed a total
of s., SS9, H7. .ssS, and, as the eleven. months
ended with November are. S102, 900. 900 in
excess of the corresponding period Of
the preceding year, the estimate of ap-
proximately 81 500 600, 900 for 1913 seems to
be Justified The excess OF exports over
Imports in the, eleven months ended with
November was S642. 100000. and for the
single month of November $1,000, 900,
thus apparently Justffying the estimate
of $74O,o0o,0OO excess OF exports for the
year.. r .-s .s.a.. . .
In imports, the total for 1913 will be
less than that ,of 1912, but larger than
that of any year preceding. This de-
cline in imports in 1913 Is due in part
10 reduction in prices of certain ar
ticles imported While the quantity of
sugar imported in the ten months end
ed with October exceeded that of the
corresponding period of 1912 by 36S, 600, 900
pounds, the value OF this larger guam
tity imported during the 1913 period was
s22,oOGOOO less than that Of the cores
ponding period of 1912.
Coffee imports are much below those
of 1872, the figures for the ten months
ended with October 1913, being 6S5, Co.,
900 pounds against. 752, 900. 600 in the same
period of last syear and the value buI
$50, 10000 against $104.0O.90O in the COR
responding months of last year
On the export side crude food5tuffs
and manufacturers material show a
marked Increase, crude foodstuffs show
ing for the ten months ended with 0c-
tober, 1913 a total of $50, 500 COO, agairs.
S9S, SOC. 600 in the same months OF the
preceding year: and foodstuffs nartlJ
or wholly manufactured, $266, 500, 600,
against $246, 900 IN the same months
of 1912. Manufactures for further use
in manufacturing exported amounted to
1886, ,0O0, 900 in the ten months ended with
October last, against SS29. 80 600 in, the
corresponding period. of the preceding
year. and manufactures ready for con-
sumption, 1853, 10000 against 500, 10000
in the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding year -.
The increase in foodstuffsI, exported
occurs chiefly in wheat, corn, barley,
oats. flour, bacon, and lard. The in
crease in manufactures exported oc-
ours chiefly In automobiles, railway
cars, electric machinery, manufactures
of iron and steel, lumber, copper. and
mineral oil.

official OF the Social Betterment League
Of Rockville today. Conditions are
awful. The money these clergymen
make has caused them to resort to rae

from these marriage ceremonies and
fewer will b" performed, much to the
