IMPORTS INCREASE
FROM so. AMERICA
ExpOrts--Fall OFF Because Of
Scarcity Of Tonnage
Due to War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Foreign CON-
merce between the United States and
South American nations showed fur
Their increase in November. according
to statistics just compiled by the bu-
reau OF foreign and domestic commerce
for that month and for the ten pre-
ceding months in 1918. But although
the imports to this country Increased.
the exports to those nations showed
substantial decrease, fact which was
accounted for in large part by the
scarcity OF tonnage caused by the neces-
sity of concentrating all vessels in the
North Atlantic for war purposes.
In the month OF November imports
from South American countries nggre-
gated s59.025,372, which compared with
s36.596.s60 in the corresponding month
OF 1917. The exports to those coun-
tries In the like period amounted to
s3l45379S, decrease of $l.019.945
For the first eleven months OF 1918
imports amounted to s565,s53.lIs. as
compared with s549 l63.e0s in 1917. In
the same 1913 period there were ex-
ported from the United States to these
countries goods valued at 1915, l64.93l,
which compared with approximately
$500, O00, 900 in 1917.
