Exports from United States to Can ada in 1919 were $50, ,0Do 900 below those of 1918, while to practically every other important country of the world the exports show an increase The to- tai to Canada in 1919 was only SEA- 100000 against SS7 900 900 in 1918, and $S29, 100000 in 1917. To practically all the other important countries exports for 1919 show a large gain over the preceding year; to Mexico an increase of s33.000,000; to Cuba gain of S51,- 100000; to Argentina an increase of $50, 100000; to Brazil a gain of S57,- O0O,0 900; to China an advance of $59.- i 100000; to aJpan a gain of 93,000, ,000; 1 to Great Britain gain of over S200,- i00Q.o00. Exports to every grand divi- sion except North America show large gains in 1919 when compared with the immediately preceding year, whil in 1 the case of North America there is fall off, all of it apparently occurring in the movements to Canada. Exports to Europe in 1919 show an increase of t34.6 per cent over 1918; to Asia 57.s per cent; to Oceania 2s.1 per cent; to Africa 65.3 per cent; to South Am erica 41.2 per cent, while to North America the total is S1,296, 900, 900 against S1, ,S25, ,000, 900 in 1918, a de- lerease, as above indicated, is S152, ,O00,- 000, indicating that to other. parts of North America the exports show a Il large gain.
 This fall off in exports to Canada in 1919, says a statement by The National
 City Bank of New York, occurs in a
 very large part at least in the classes iof material which Canada was buying for war purposes in 1918 and 1917, and ? did not need for that purpose in 1919
 Wheat for example, of which Canada
 is always a large producer and large
 exporter, totalled s61,e46,000 in our ex- ports to Canada in 1918, and only s3,- 3350o0 in 1919. suggesting that her large importation of our wheat in 1915
 was intended for a further movement to Europe either for Canadian troops or those of the allies, Corn, of which 1 the export to Canada in 1918 was practically 10000, ,000, dropped to c little over $10,00O,00 in. 1919, while Is steel billets fell of $l9 000, 600 in ls1S as compared with 1913: raw cottoT S13, 1000, ,000; fuel oil $l1 .000, GOO; coa
 SIT 100000: copper s4,00o, GOO: leat
 $2, ,O0O,000; steel plates SS,OO0 900: stee
 sheets S2,000,o eco; tin plate s5,000,000
 pig. iron $6,0OO,00O
 These articles numbering dozen land of a character greatly in dcmanS
 in Europe in 1918 are the priReipa ones in which q fall off occurred il
 1919, and curiousiy their fall eff az es.practieally as much sthe en tire reduction in our exports to Canad lin 1919. Others of ths hundreds Q D larticleS of the class required by th domestic, market of Canada show il a large proportion of eases an increas lin 1919 instead of the decrease occur firing in the classes, of material pre- isumably passed on from Canada [ . Europe in 1918 but not required fo
 that purpose in 191e.< In cotton cloth. ; for example. the exports to Canada i L1919 show larger totals in every clas
 of cotton goods, cloths dyed in tn
 piece showing an increase of s2, ,0e . in 1919 as compared with 1918; un
 ibleached cloth an increase of nearl
 $L000. GOO and other grades of cotto
 cloths q similar increase. Among tn
 other classes of merchandise in whic
