World International Trade in 1918. ‘World international commerce in 1918 was nearly or quite $60,000,000,000 in stated value against $40,000,000,000 in 1913, and $20,000,000,000 in 1900. Of- ficial figures of the 1918 trade of twen- ty principal countries of the world are now available and upon these and the partial figures for other countries The National City Bank of New York es- timates that the valuation of the en- tire international commerce of the world in the calendar year 1918 will, when official figures become available, approximate and perhaps fully equal $60,000,000,000 against $53,000,000,000 in 1917, $47,000,000,000 in 1916, and $40,000,000,000 in 1913, the year pre- ceding the war. The twenty countries for which 1918} figures are now available are the most| important from the trade standpoint of world nations. They include in Eureope Great Britain, France, Ttaly, Spain and Switzerland; in the Orient, India, the Malayan Peninsula, Siam, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines. | and Japan; in Africa, Egypt, and the nion of South Africa: in South America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and | Venizuela: in North America, Canada Cuba, Mexico, and the United States | In a few instances, the figures for 1913 ! {are based upon estimates for the clos- | |ing months of the year, but in prac tically all the important case sthe fig ures are governmental and cover the; full year. Nearly one-half. of this estimated | world total of $60,000,000,000, says the | rade of the United States alone was | iover $9,000.000,000: that of the United France nearly $4,50,000,000; Tialy, over 15$3,000,000,000: Canada slightly more | than $2.000.000,000, and Japan nearly, 1$2,000,000,000. No figures are available | as to the total trade of the Central| Powers in 1918, though official state- ments for Ausiria-Hungary for the| calendar year 1917 are available, put- | ting the grand total, stated in her de- | preciated currency apparently, at| slightly more than that of 1913 when| the flgures stood at $1.150.000,000 for| imports and exports combine No| | official figures have been published by | rade during the. war or for 191 | though her imports were presumably | lonly limited by the available surplus| of foodstuffs and manufacturing ma- | terial in the contiguous areas, and| 32 YEARS® SERVICE A.
