TRADE OF 1917 SHOWS LARGEST
 TOTAL REACHED
International Commerce Largest In the History of
 the United States.

International trade of 1917 will show larger total than in any earlier year. This estimate, appearing in The Americas' issued by The National Bank of New York, is the result of a careful review of all available fig ures of world trade for the year 1917. It includes eleven months actual fig
 ures for the United States and United Kingdom, ten months for Canada, and somewhat shorter periods for the oth- CT principal countries, covering. how
 ever, a sufficient proportion of the year to justify an estimate that the total international trade of the year will be the largest in history. In the case of the United States the total trade of the year Is estimated at ap- prodmately nine billion dollars arainst less than four billions in 1912. In Great Britain the total for the elev- en months is over seven billion dollars against five and thEee-quarter billion dollars in 1913. Canada's total for ten months ending with October is over two billion dollars against $88.- coo, 900 in the same months of 1913 and Japan for the nine months end- ing with September S914, 100000 against $5O7, ,o0o, ,oOo in the cores bonding months of 191& For France no official figures are available for 1917 though the imports estimated by an examination of figures of exports from other countries to France are apparently about 50 per cent. more than in 1913. In the Central Powers no official figures are available though 3e, 1asr d e is, of course, cut off: they have inn~ ported very largely from adjacent neutral countries and the exchanges between the countries forming the group now known as the Central Powers have also been very great. IT the Allied countries a part of their trade, that conducted by or on behalf of the government, has been omitted from the official figures
 The largest change Is that of the Allies. The total trade of Great Bri- tain, France Italy, Russia, United States, Canada and Japan in 1918 was little more than eighteen billion dol lars, while the figures thus far re- ported for the current year suggest that their total for 1917 may approM mate twenty-five billion dollars.
 The neutral sections Of the world show little change in their grand tota. of trade of 1917 as compared witt 1918, though there are marked changes in it's characteristics. In Sout1 America the imports of 1917 are fal below those of 1913, in which year th' imports of that continent were thu highest in its history. The imports O all South America in 1918 exceeded one billion dollars, and the 1917 off cial reports from that continent up t this time indicate that the total i'm ports of 1917 will be little more thai
