TRADE RECORD
OUR LACE APPROPRIATIONS

100000 Of silk and $46,OO0,0O0 OF

comparatively small proportion OF
the imports, the total value OF hand
made cotton laccs imported since
the beginning of 1912, the year Of
earliest record, having been a little
over $lC,OOO,O0O, while that OF
cotton laces during that period was
$247 100000. Even in silk and
fiber laces the hand made product
forms but comparatively small
percentage of the total.
Curiously. but 4 very small share
OF the silk laces imported come

half million frsan Japan and China,
the chief silk producing countries

imported from the Orient are OF

forming as already indicated small
proportion of the total imports are
apparently growing in favor, the
