and the Near East. Some of the leading exports from New Pl mans foubiiete ol s rope and the Near East, in point of value and order of importance, are: Leather, hardware, cutlery, and me- chanic’s tools; and office appliances. Leading exports to Canada were: Cotton manufactures; nonferrous metal manufactures; and industrial machinery and parts. South Ameri- ca took chiefly leath, hardware, cutlery, and mechanics' tools; and cotton manufactures. Cuba and Porto Rico took mainly leather footwear, cotton manufactures, and leather. To the other West Indies ind Central America went leather and cotton manufactures.

The complete results of the sur- | vey will soon be released in a vol- | ume, “The Foreign Trade New England,” by Charles - | man and Spencer H.

The total cxports of | these six states, as shown by th 2,000 New England manufacturing concerns reporting, was mately $196,000,000. The total value of imports reported by 1,100 New England importers was $218.000,000. Machinery and Vehicles Lead Machinery and vehicles constitui: the most important class of e England products exported, the port declares, with a value excee ing $48,000,000, or about 25 per cent | of the total exports for New Iing- | land.

Those importing companies, however, which did export a portion of their manufactures, accounted for 70 per cent of the aggregate value of imports. In a comparison by states, it is seen that in Massachu- | setts, Connecticut and Vermont, the aggregate value of imports by com- panies which did some exporting ex- | cceded that of concerns which re- ported mo exports. In Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, on the other hand, the imports by firms which reported no export business were greater in value than those by companies reporting exports.
