The share which the United States non-European world is much greater | than before the war. Normally, in !the pre-war perfod, we supplied less !than 15 per cent. of the imports of South America; in 1917, we supplied of her imports. In the case of Asia, we supplied, before i the war, about six per cent. of the im- out 15 per cent. | | Of the imports of North America, ex- | clusive of the United States, we sup- | plied In 1913 about 60 per cent., and {in 1917 over 80 per cent. Of the im- ports of Burope we supplied, before the war, about 12 per cent., and In| 1917 we supplied about 30 per cent. of the imports of that continent exclu-| sive of the Central Powers. 1 Most of this great gain in the ex-! | parts of the United States occurs in | manufactures and most of the gain in fmports occurs in manufacturing ma- terial. Manufactures form about 80 per cent. of the total exports to the non-European world, while the Buro- pean demands for manufactures for the battlefield has greatly increased the percentage which manufactures | form of the exports to that continent. The total value of manufactures ex-| / ported in the seven months ending with January, 1918, was $2,133,000,- | 000, against $650,000,000 in the cor- | responding period preceding the war, | an increase of 228 per cent in manu- | factures exported, while foodstuffs | showed an increase of about 146 per | cent., and raw material a decline of | about one per cent. On the import i side the chlef increase occurs In! | manufacturing material, which shows | {an advance of about 100 per cent. dur- { ing the war period. k INCREASE IN HOGS. } Hogs have decreased in the British | Isles more than any other livestock. ' Between 1916 and 1917, swine in Ire- | tand decreased 26.4 per cent; in Eng- land and Wales 11.5 per cent and in , Scotland 9.5 per cent. Of the total : gefline exceeding 500,000, more than 50,000 were breeding sows. SOME BERLIN PRICES.
