More than ten billion dollars worth of merchandise and preclous metals passed through the custom house of the Unijtéd States in the fiscal yvear just ended. A compilation by the Na- tional City Bank of New York, com- paring the trade of the country in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, with that of the fiscal years 1916, 1915 and 1914, shows that the total fall 1917 is in round numbers twice as great as that of 1914, which immediately pre- ceded the war. The total of imports and exports of merchandise in 1917 is set down at $8.900,000,000 against 1,000,000 in 1916, '$4,443.000,00 in and $4.259.000,000 in 1914, the fiscal year which ended only one month prior to the beginning of the The gold and silver imports and aggre- war. experts of the fiscal year 1017 gate $1,262,381,000. The foreign trade in merchandise s double that of the vear prior to the war, the 1917 fig- nres being official returns for eleven months, and an estimate for June based upon that of the month immedi- ately preceding. Imports are set down 2t $2,634,000,000 in the fiscal year 1917 against $1 894 000000 in 1914, a against $1,894,000,000 in 1914, a gain of $740,000,000 or 40 per cent.'in the 3 year period: the exports are set down | in 1917 against $2 865,000,000 in 1914, a gain of $3,915,000.- 000 or 165 per cent. and the total| trade at $8,914,000,000 against $4,259,- 000,000, a gain of $4,655,000,000, or 109 per cent. The fact that the export trade of the country has only increaced 185 per cent in the three vears of the war will doubtless be a surprise to many who based_ their estimate of growth uport the frequently published figurés ghowing enormous increases in cer- tain articles, especially those required for war purposes. Explosives, for example, show total exports in 1917 more than 100 times as great as in 1914; horses and mules 20 times as great; sugar 35 times as much in value; firearms 30 times as great; zinc and brass 60 times as much in value: Commercial automobiles 40 times, and condensed milk 20 times as much in value as in 1914 On the other hand, howevery cotton, always an important factor in our export trade, shows an actual _decline, having been in 1015 but $550,000,000 against $610,000,000 in 1914, Naval stores, an important item in_our export trade, in 1917 are much below the figures of 1914. Agricultur- al impléments exported in 1417 are about two-thirds as much in value as in 1914; hides and skins show a fall oft of more than one-half in guantity ex- ported in 1917 when compared with 1914, sewing machines in 1917 a lit- tle over that of 1914, desplte the fact that values of all machinery’ made of iron and steel have necessarily greatly advanced meantime; {lluminating oil thn in 1914 in both quantity and value: coiton oeed alone in 1917 w: WAR TAX BILL COMES BEFORE SENATE THURSDAY. t of 1 to It Will Have the Exclusive Righ Way Until Disposed Of.
