GAIN IN WORLDS
OIL PRODUCTION
U. S. and Canada Report Re-
spective Gains of 10000, 900
And $4,000, 900 Barrels.

Taking into account an increase
of 100000 barrels in United
States oil production. and of co.
000.o 900 barrels in Mexican output.
the worlds oil production in 1920
can be estimated at $50. 100000 bar
rels. This compares with estimat-
ed output of 1000 900 barrels in
1919. and 100000 in 1918. In
crease in production in the United
States and Mexico in 1920 was part
ly offset by smaller production of
some of the leading European fields,
due to unsettled political conditions
and scarcity of oil drilling material.
The important paA played by the
United States and Mexico is shown
by their combined production esti-
mated at 5s0.0o0,o00 barrels, or
about 80 per cent of the worlds
total. OF Mexico's total. about 1o5.-
100000 barrels were exported to the
United States, making a total of
approximately SIS, ,o00. 900 barrels. or
s5 per cent of the worlds output
marketed here.
The Washington herald., 1921-03-29
Total to all
countries relative

ped to less than $4,000, 900 and for
1890 the value is below $4,000, 900.
Hides ald skins, which in 1919
amounted to nearly $64.000.oo have
also shown some decrease in 1890
for the total Is approximately $780,
100000. Imports of flaxseed have
been increasing in recent years. In
1918 the total was valued at s23.-
100000. in 1919 nearly $3S.000, 900
and in 1920 imports of fiaxseed from
Argentina were worth $6S,5s4,0oo.
By far the large proportion of
commodities imported from Argen-
tina are raw materials which are
used in our own factories and not
infrequently the finished products
are again exported to the country OF
origin.
The following table shows the
principal commodities exported from
the United States to Argentina dur
ing the calendar years 1918 and 1919.
By far the most important commo-
dities in this list are iron and steel
manufactures and cotton manufac-
lures. In 1919 the former group OF
materials was valued at nearly $36,-
100000, while manufactures of cot
ton amounted to over $20,0O0,OO0.
Mineral oil, wooden manufactures,
paper, chemicals, automobiles, elec-
trical machinery and coal were
other important groups of commo-
dities which this country sent to Ar
gentina. To a very large extent
these are all manufactured commo-
dities, or at least commodities upon
which a large amount of labor is
expended in this country:

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Notice wa,
served on the $4,000 cIothing
makers in Chicago that the manu-
facturers propose to reduce wages
Is per cent. The alternative will
be the closing of all the shops and
no wages whatever. The manu-
facturers say the public has made
1t very clear it will not pay fancy
prices for clothing and wholesale
and retail prices cannot be cut un-
less wages are reduced.
Clothing workers are making
from $40 to $50 a week, for short
hours. The average is said to be
s45 a week. A majority of the
clothing workers are foreigners
and they live in cheap quarters.
The manufacturers claim that the
reduction will really mean the
workers will earn more IL they will
work reasonable hours.
Heads of the clothing workers
unions announce they will oppose
any reduction in wages or length

Cost, Report Says.

Exporting purebred live stock TO
foreign countries is a highly COM

should not only take all the short
cuts possible, but should be eK-
tremely careful that no essentfzi-

Of the Bureau lof Markets. United
States Department of Agriculture
All the items OF expense are rels-
lively costlyand failure to attend
to every detail may result in de-
lay and added expense. South
America offers an excellent market
for American purebred live stock
and during 1890 this trade amounted
TO nearly 100000 as a result Of
efforts Of the Department of Aeri-
culture in cooperation with indi-
vidusls and breed associations.
Marked Increase In Trade.
Recently. however. there has
been a marked increase in trade OF
this sort and corresponding
greater interest on the part Of
American breeders in the possibiI-
ity Of further developing foreign
outlets for surplus animals.
During the past three years sew
eral investigators have been sent
to South America by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
for this purpose, and recently a
representative to act as sgricUItu-
raj trade commissioner with perms-

Exports

In 1913 our exports to Argentina
amounted to less than s53,000,000.
By 1920 our exports had risen to
s214, ,000, 900, or an increase of 3O4
per cent. As shown in the next to
the last column of this table, our
total exports to all countries during
the same period Increased in value
only 231 per cent. showing that our
export trade with Argentina has
grown faster than the average of
our lrade with the rest Of the world.
In the last year before the war
our total imports from Argentina
were valued at approximately s27.-
100000. In 1920 imports from that
country were valued at nearly $685.
000,0 900, or an increase of 673 per
cent. During the same period our
i-lports from all countries had in
creased only 1874 per cent.
During the war our trade with
Argentina. both imports and ex-
ports, grew much more rapidly than
10 did in many other parts of the
world. In 1918 our exports to Ar
gentina were approximately double
the value of our imports from that
country. In 1920 imports very near
ly equalled exports and in the four
years prior to that imports consid-
erably exceeded the value of our
exports This latter condition arose
during the war when We imported
large quantities of material which
were again exported. usually in a
manufactured form, TO European
nations
The following table gives list of
some of the more important COM
modities imported into the United
States from Argentina. Figures are

and 1919. No adequate figures are

Arkansas has long aspired to this
