revenues, tremendously damaged the
American industry, aided foreign COM

GROWTH OF THE EXPORT
TRADE TOLD IN FIGURES
Foreign Business For November Was
Largest On Record, Exceeding That
Of September BY Three Million DOL
lars; Much Free Stuff Coming In

Exports for November were the
largest o record, exceeding those
for September by $3,0OO,OOO. The
total for November, as announced by
the bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce, of the department of
commerce, is $517, 100000 The to-
tai exports for the eleven months
ended with November were $4,961,-
100000, against $3,195, 100000 for
same period in 1915 and $2,250, $780,
900 in 1913, which was the largest
total for normal years.
November imports were valued at
100000, representing slight
decrease when compared with those
for October ($17S, ,7OO,0OO) but ex-
ceeding by $21, 100000 those for No
vember, 1915, and by $35,000,0O0, or
% per cent, the November average
from 1911 to 1915. The eleven
months imports were valued at
$2,1S6, 100000, as against $780,
100000, in 1915 and $1,674 100000 in
1914, the former high-record year in
imports. Of the November imports,
&C per cent entered free of duty, be-
ing about the same proportion as
that for November, 1915.
The United States entered upon
the last month of the year with a
foreign trade of $7,14S,O 100000 for
eleven months and with prospects
that the years trade will approx
mate $7,S00,000,000 in value. This
estimate is based on actual results
for November. The favorable trade
balance for November was $34O,9OO,-
900, or about twice as much as for
November, 1915, and four times as
much as for November, 1914. The
excess of exports over imports for
the eleven months of 1916 was
100000, compared with ST.
58S,6OO,O0O in 1915 and $193,4OO,OOO
in 1914.
The net inward gold movement
totaled $20,100,000 for the month and
1899, 100000 for the eleven months
ending with November. Like periods
of 1915 gave $57,SOO,OOO and 1887, ,OOO,-
000, respectively; while in 1914
there was net outward gold move
ment Of $7,10O,000 for the month and
$169,2OO,OOO for the eleven months.
Gold imports in November totaled
SAG, 500, 900, the smallest with one eX-
ception during the last six months,
and representing drop from $122,-
100000 in June. Gold exports in No
vember aggregated $26,300,000, the
largest figure shown by any earlier
month of the year. The eleven months
show gold imports of $527, 100000 and
gold exports to the value of $127,-
100000.
