These compllations are, wherever possible, official figures, those of the year just ending, 1917, be- ing necessarily estimates for the clos- ing months of the year but based upon official figures for such part of the Yyear as are available in governmental or other officlal reports. chandise imported or exported that of any earlier year. Total imports for the full calendar year 1917, according to the bank's statement, are 60 per cent. greater in value than in 1913 and exports of domestic products 150 per cent. greater in value than those of 1913. The total foreign trade of the country is estimated in very round No remedy can honestly promise 10 Aeal everycase of eczema or sim- ilarskinailment. But Resinol Oint- ment, aided by Resinol Soap, gives. such #nséant relief from the itching and burning, and 80 generally suc- ceeds in clearing the eruption away {for good, that it is the standard skin treatment of thousands and thou- sands of physicians. Why not try it ? Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap are sold by all druggists. In foreign commerce the year 1917 | of course far exceeds in value of mer- | terms at 9 billion dollars .in 1917 against 4 1-4 billion dollars in 1913, the total of imports and exports com- bined being thus more than double in | 1917 that of 1913. In manufacturing materials import- ed and manufactures exported the growth has been even greater than that shown by the figures of total trade. Imports of raw manufacturing material in 1917 are more than double those of 1913 and exports of manu- factures are three and one-half times | as much as in 1913. Food-stuffs im- ported are nearly twice as great in stated value in 1917 as in 1913, and food-stuffs exported are two and one- half times as much in stated value as ;in 1913, | That these large increases are due in a considerable degrec to higher | prices is evidenced by the fact that | the raw silk imports of September, 1917, were at the rate of $5.59 per | pound against $3.43 per pound in Sep- .tember of 1913; raw cotton, chiefly i Egyptian, 42c per pound in Septem- ber, 1917, against 17c in ‘September, 11913; manijlla hemp $322 per ton against $210 per ton; cattle hides 27c per pound against 19c; goat skins 42c per pound against 26c; and clothing | wool 46c per pound against 24c in the corresponding month of 1913. On the ‘export side the contrast is equally striking, wheat exports in September, 1917, having averaged $2.32 per bush- el against 94c in September, 1913; corn $1.96 per bushel against 78c in the corresponding month of 1913; ' steel billets $84 per ton against $21; ! sole leather 569c per pound against | 26¢; raw cotton 25c per pound against 113c and refined sugar-7c per pound against 4c in September, 1913. ! Trade with the grand divisions of the world shows equally {changes. Imports from Europe ‘dropped from 865 million dollars in | 1918 to 560. million dollars in 1917, while those from South America in- creased from 198 million dollars in | 11913 to 580 milllon dollars in 1917, (and those from Asia increased from | 281 million dollars to 740 million dol- lars; and from North America from 390 million dollars to 860 million ;dollars. Exports to Europe jumped Ifrom 1,500 million dollars in 1913 to 4,110 million dollars in 1917; to North America from 601 million dol- lars in 1913 to 1,210 million dollars in 1917; to South America from 147 millien dollars in 1913 to 310 million -dollars in 1917. Imports from Europe are actually less than those from North America, South America or Asia, while prior to 1916 Europe always headed the list of grand divisions supplying our importa. Production of the staple articles of food and manufacturing materials shows also large increases with a very few exceptions, notably wheat and cotton, and even in these the value of the 1817 product is, by reason of high prices, far greater than that of 1913. Corn production is more than 3 bil- lion bushels against less than 2 1-2 billion bushels in 1913: sugar 2 1-4 billion pounds against 1 3-4 billions in 1912; coal approximately 650 mil- startling | PRUDENT NEW YEAR RESOLUTION Thousands of people arc now making reso- Iutions for the New Year.

The total value of mineral products is set down at approximately 4 billion dollars in 1917 against less than 2 1-2 billion dollars in 1913 and the wealth production on farms in 1917, accord- ing to the Department of Agriculture figures, 21 billion dollars against slightly less than 10 billion dollars in 1913.
