CANDY EXPORTS RECORD.
Value Of Confectionery Shipped in
1919 Twelve Million,

Sugar was high and scarce during
the latter part of 1919. but that fact
did not keep the United States from
beating all previous exports records
for candy. The bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce announced today
record breaking export of confec-
tionery from the United States in the
calendar year 1919, the value being
$l2.3o5.Os2 or tenfold the amount,
$1.225,92S, shipped abroad in 1918.
Imports of confectionery into the
United States for the pre-war year
1913 were $255.544, as compared with
exports Of $1.36O,S59. In 1914 imports
rose to $25s.094, while exports drop
ped to $1.1s5.S94.
Although confectionery was inn
ported into the United States from
twenty one countries during 1919. the
aggregate value is negligible in COM
parison with that of the export trade.
The principal countries of origin with
the values received from each were:
Canada. $S5. $50; Spain. $44.342; Italy.
