foreign trade department Of the National
City Bank shows that the exports from
the port of New York for the week
ended August IA we're S31,S05.456,
against s1O.723,O32 for the correspond
Ing week Of last year. or nearly three
times as great.
For the full month of June the same
compilation shows that the export trade
from all ports of the United States was
20 per cent. greater than In June OF
last year. Manufactured articles ex-
ported in June amounted to $150,000 900.

and foodstuffs exported amounted to
So, 600, 200, as against S3l ,00O. 900 in
June. 1914. The gain in exports OF food
stuffs was greater than that In manufac-
lures.
The bank says in its statement ac-
companying the figures:
New York has had the lions share
In the recent gains In exports. The
total value Of exports from the port
Of New York in the fiscal year 1915
was $l,194, 900, 900, against 1855. 000. 900
In the preceding fiscal year, while from
all other ports the exports were SI,575.-
100000. against $500. 900, 900 in the
same months OF last year.
Great Gain In Exports Here.
New York was s329. 000. 900. or
about Us per cent. gain, while the
increase from all other ports was but
about s75.O00,o0 or a gain Of approxi-
mately > per cent. This heavy in
crease in exports from the port of New
York and small gain in the exports Of
other ports is due in part to the fact
that cotton, lumber, fertilizers and naval
stores, OF which the chief exports go
from the Southern and Northern border
ports. show a large decline in exports.
while manufactures and foodstuffs. in
which the principal increase occurs, go
chiefly from the port OF New York.
