Thus in the exports of domestic pro- ducts, manufacturing material shows an actual decline of approxima ately 8 per cent. fOodstuffS an increase of 179 per cent. and manufactures an increase of 174 per cent. The value of manufactures exported in the four war years equalled that of the 17 years preceding the war.
 On the import side there is a marked increase in value of importation of manufactured material and foodstuffs, but only a very slight increase in man ufactures. The total value of manu- featuring materials imported in the four years of war was $3,913, ,0OO,0 against $2,336, ,O00,0 ,000 in the four years preceding the war; of foodstuffs, $2,- 521, 100000 against $1,661, 100000 in the four pre-war years, and of manu- factures $3,058,0 8,000,OOO against $2,- 829, 100000.

Some of the members of the Swedish and Italian Republican club, got help to the cau- GUS and they assembled for the meet ing. The SWedeS had a candidate and the Italians had a candidate for what office makes no particular difference, but they didn't have a look-ln with the slate all prepared. The stage was set and when the meeting was called the nominations were slid through just as smoothly as water rolls off a ducks back. The nominations were made as rapidly as the presiding officer could present them to the meeting and no one had a chance. Brother members of the Italian and Swedish Republican clubs were, however, permitted to make a motion to adjourn A mem Der of the party claims that the effect will be to aid, the democratic nominees in the coming town election.

off of 35 Der cent due of course ia part to the absence of trade with the Central Powers and Belgium, while the Allied countries at war had com paratively little merchandise to send us. The exports to Europe, however, show an enormous increase, being for the four years $13,568, 100000 against $5,616, 100000 inN the four pre-war years, an increase of Al per cent This total to Europe included that sent to Russia by way of the .Asiatic ports.

WAR TIME INCREASE
 OF EXPORTS SHOWN
Shipments of Four Years Larger
 Than Preceding Y.

Exports of manufactures from the United States in the first four years of the war are as much in value as in the 17 years preceding the war; exports of foodstuffs in the war pe- riod are as much as in the 10 years prior to the war, while exports of manufacturing material actually show a decline. A compilation by The National City Bank of New York shows that the total foreign trade of the country in he first four years of the war was $29, 1000 and in the four years imm ediately preceding the war, $15, 972, 0O0,0O0. The inn ports increased from $6,887, 900, 900 to $9,558, 8,0O0,000, while the exports jumped from $9,084, ,000 to $19,- 674, 100000. The increase in i'm ports is practically 40 per cent. and in exports IF per cent.
 These figures are based upon the official returns for the AS months from August 1, 1914, in which month the war began, to August i, 1918. The pre-war period is the four fiscal years ending June 30, 1914.
 How much of the increase is due to higher prices cannot be at pres sent accurately determined. It IS possible, however, to show by great groups of articles the increases and decreases in imports and exports when measured by values. Exports of raw materials for use in manufaC- turing, for example, show an actual rdecline in value despite the higher prices the total value of raw ma- terfal for usse in manufacturing exported in four years of war hav- ing been but $2,733, 100000 against $2,961, ,OOO, GOO in the four years pre- ceding the war. This. fall-off in the value of manufacturing material ex- ported is due chiefly to a decline of about 3S per cent. in quantity of cot ton exported, Germany, Austria Hun gary, Belgium and Russia, normally large importers of American cotton having been practically out of the market
 Tn all of the bother groups of arti- cles exported, however, the figures of the war period are far in excess of those of the pre-war period. Food stuffs exported in the four years of war aggregated $4,852, 100000 against $1,738,0 100000 in the four yearss preceding the war. Manufacturers exported in the four war years S4.212,0OO, 1000 in the four pre-war years while the group "miscella- ne0us" was $30O,000,00O n the four years of war against only $31,OOO.OOO in the four pre-War years this enor- nous increase being due to the fact that 1t includes horses and mules. .
