E mbargoes Affect
Exports Of y. S.
Motor Cars

Figures just issued By the Depart
mcnt of Commerce show that Tor tns
twelve months ended June 30. lsl''
the United States exported s0,Sll au-
tomobiles and motor trucks, valued NJ
$9O,95S,243, as compared with U,s99
cars, valued at s97,465,Sll. the pre-
ceding fiscal year.
The National Automobile Chamber
o. Commerce finds that the increase
in number Of cars exported is due to
larger shipments to most countries out
side Of Europe, which more than offset
tie decreases in exports to Great
Britain, France and Russia, resulting
from import prohibitions and lack OF
shipping facilities.
The fact that the aggregate value OF
exports during the last fiscal year was
less by s6,5O7 900 than. in the preceding
year, although the actual number oil
vehicles exported was greater by 3,3l2
comes from decreased shipments oil

Thus, although the number of trucks
exported fell off 5,2SS in the year and
their aggregate value was Sl4,f6o,2@j
less, the shipments Of passenger cars
increased by $500 and their value by
p$7 800, $50.
Great Britain and France are still
our largest markets, despite their
, heavy falling off in purchases. The
former bought sls,50S.442 worth last
year. mostly trucks, as against $780,
147,282 worth in the previous fiscal
year. Frances imports were nearly
all trucks and amounted to sl4,69l 400
az compared with Sl9,l37,90i in the
twelve months ended June 80, 1916. .
Owing to shipping difficulties and
internal political troubles Russia's i'm
ports fell from a value of sl5,686,874
in 1916 to S6,371 1882 in the last fiscal
year.
Exports to the rest of Europe com
bined increased remarkably, when it is
remembered that no shipments went
TO the Central empires. The increase
amounted to more than 100000 in
the year, accounted for largely by eX-
ports to the Scandinavian countries
Holland and Spain. Europe as a whole
took slightly less than ne-third by
valuation of the total American ey-
ports.
Aside from the European countries
Canada is Americas best customer for
motor cars, having increased her pur-
chases by nearly S4,200,000 from
S7.2SO,i51 in 1916, to sl2,068,787 in
1917.
Next come Asia and Oceana, with
imports of 9,716 cars. valued at $780,
093, 72O. last year-an increase of
Sl.450,927. Australia follows with
5000, valued at Si.2l3,S74 The Brit
ish East Indies increased their pur-
chases from s2,307,739 to s3,6l7,35l.
In the Americas, after Canada, the
West Indies were our best market for
automobiles, to the extent of S4,072,.
G47-an increase of S1,248,735 over the
year before.
The most remarkable increases,
however, are shown by Mexico and the
South American republics. Mexico
commercial recovery is reflected by an
increase from s409,700 to 1888, 975
in the year. Argentina's imports
reached nearly S2,5O0,000. BraziPs
trebled. Chile's prosperity from her
nitrats mines resulted in an increase
from s576,777 to Sl,9S2, 53S. The rest
of South America took automobiles to
the value of sl,s04, 1927. as against only
S696,9l1 the year before.
In addition TO automobiles the
United States exported in the last
fiscal year 23,435 automobile engines
valued at 2,S44,4o6; tires worth s12,-
5000 and parts worth S27,2S4,932
This makes grand total of $780,
1882 of foreign automobile business
done by the country last year.
