degree for the fall off in total values. Raw cotton imported in September, 1921. is valued at lS.5c per pound by the governmental records as against 54.jc one year earlier; Manila hemp sl26 per ton against SZ?2; cattle hides iI.Sc per pound against 25.Sc; goat skins 3Sc per pound against s9c; In dia rubber 14c per pound against 3sc; and pig tin 21c per pound against 55c in the corresponding month Of last year.
 While we may not assume, adds thc banks statement, that the reduction in prices is by any means the sole caIse of the fall off in values. it is quite apparent that on both ihe inn port and export side they are respon- sible in very considerable degree for the reduction, and j. IS at least in- teresting at the same time to note that he total value of our foreign trade in the ten months Of 1921 is 70 per cent. greater than in the correspond ing ten months Of 1913 which immedi- ately preceded the war, and that most of this increase occurs in exports. The imports of the ten months Of 1921 are s9,O50, 190, GOO against Sl.4s0. .234 900 in the same months of 1913. a gain of $500. 556 ,0e0: the exports Of ten months of 1921 are S3.ss5. 7sl GOO against S2.- 095, ,2s4cGl in the sane months of 1913. a gain Of sI .ss0 .5G7 .0O0 over 1913.

 oats 40c per bushel against S6c one
 year ago; barley 73c against Sl.51; rice 2 l-2c per pound against 1c ill October. 1920, and flour $S.29 per bar rel against $11.55 one year ago, these figures suggesting a fall Of fully one half in the price of breadstuffs per unit of quantity when comparing the figures of October, 1921 and those Of October, 1920.
 Meats also show a big fall off in price, though not quite as great as that of breadstuff5. Bacon exports In
 October, 1921, averaged 13c a pound at
 the port of exportation against 23c
 q year ago: lard Il lac a pound
 against 22c: canned beef 2ec against
 35c; condensed milk 12c per pound
 against 1Sc; and cottonseed oil Sc per
 pound against an average of 17c in ! the same month of last year.
 h manufacturing material the fall i in price is also strongly marked, though not as great as in foodstuffs. Cotton, the one manufacturing material includ-
 ed in the October report thus far re- ceiVed shows an average export price
 of 20c per pound in the month of Oc-
 tober. 1921, against 3oc In October of last year. Leaf tobacco. another man.

 month of September, 1921, the latest figures available. an average of 3oc per pound against 63c in September of the preceding year; copper, an

 practically 200 in September Of last
 year; bituminous coal s a ton against

 pitch pine lumber s32.55 per Nf feet in September, 1921 against tS1.55 in
 the same month of 1920.
 In finished manufactures the fall off in price is equally startling; commer- cial automobiles exported in Septem- Der, 1921, went at an average of SI,000 per car as against s1.740 per car in
 September. 1920, and passenger ma
 chimes averaged s9i5 in the export figures of September 1921 as against Sf.2I5 in the same official figures of

LOWER PRICES PLAY
 HAVOC WITH TRADE TOTA[s

Further evidence that the tremend- ous reduction in the foreign trade to- tals of the. United States is largely due to lower prices, comes to the sur face, says the Trade Record of the National City Bank Of New York in the latest official figures of our De- partnlent of Commerce. They show declines in prices Of practically every article entering or leaving the coun- try in the latest available month when compared with the same month of last year, and in many cases the fall off is as much as 50 per cent. il price per unit Of quantity.
 / Illustrations of this big fall in price are found in the October report of the Department of Commerce showing quantity and value of certain princi- pal articles exported in October. 1921. and comparison with the same month Of last year. The figures indicate that the value at the port of eXportation of the wheat passing out Of the coun- try in October. 1921, was S1.29 per bushel against S2.77 per bushel in Oc- tober Of last year; corn 6Oc per bush
