HOLDING CHEMICAL TRADE
Statistics Show That United States
Has Been Able to Hold High
Mark Set During War.

Official statistics for the fiscal yenr
1920 demonstrate that this country
has been able to keep Its trade In
chemical and allied products very near
the high mark set during the war. de-
spite the loss OF markets for purely
war supplies and despite the pressing
demands that must be met In the do
nestle market.
Such is the conclusion reached by
.. =. Hopkins. well-known s'atis-
tician, writing in the Journal of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
'In almost all lines except NUM-
tions." he writes, "the exports In 1920
exceeded In value those Of 1918. n fact
that can be explained In some cases.
perhaps. by rising prices. but which
nevertheless warrants the assertion
that the position has not been weak
ened. These exports. which very
greatly exceed those Of the last nor

entirely Of manufactured products.

own and comprise raw md partly man

is stated by people well acquainted
with the country that il is fine farm

are informed that our men became
interested was that the time spent
in the army would apply on the years
required TO make proof Of home

there IN hopes Of finding oil
