I The internatiaonal trade of the world in 1919, will approximate $70, 00,000,000 against about $40,000,000,000 in the year preceding the war. This estimate, by the National City Bank of New York, is based upon returns received from a scope of principal countries covering in most ca :es 10 ajonths and in the case of Great You Do More Work, You are more ambitious and you dot more jnjoyment out of everything when youi Mood is in good condition.

I Britain 11 months of tho year ami upon these figures of 10 and 1! months it estimates the world trr.de j of the full year 1919 at about $70,090,000,000 as against $66,000,001,000 in 1918, $53,000,000,000 in 19V*. and $40,000,000,000 in 1910, the year preceding the war. These figures are of course an aggregation of the totah imports and total exports of all countries for which figures are available and there fore represent in fact about $35,000, 000,000 worth of merchandise passing between the countries of the woild, since all statements of "world international trade" are an aggregation of the exports of every country plus the imports of every country, and as all merchandise exported is counted a second time when it becomes an import in some other country, the usual aggregation of "world international trade" is practically double the actual "Value of the merchandise moved. Practically every country in the list for which 1919 returns are available shows a material increase over 1918 and a very largo gain over the year preceding the war. In the case of the United States, the imports will approximate $3,800,000,000 as against $3,894,000,000 in the fiscal year immediately preceding the war while the exports will show a total of considerably more than $7,000,000,000 as against $2,305,000,000 in the year pre ceding the war. Our total trade for the calendar year 3919 seems likely to pass the ?11,000,000,000 line as egivipst $4,259,000,000 in the fiscal year 1914, all of which preceded the war. British trade is also showing very large figures and will probably slightly exceed that of the United States, possibly reaching the $12,000,000,000 line, though in her case imports form about two-thirds of the total, while in our own ca-e exports form about two-thirds of the total. France, in which the export trade showed a heavy fall-off during the . - TBB BOUT BBBJULD,- 001 1 - I T 1 " \r, is beginning to show a material \provement, as the figures thus far 3ceived% indicate that the 1919 tota1 vill be about $1,200,000,000 against pproximately $8,000,000,000 in 1918 ^hile the imports for 1919 showed a narked inctease over 1918, but stanJ it about the same figures as in 191? vhen her importatiins for war purposes were heavy. All the countries supplying, food show marked gains. For Argentina, the total exports will apparently approximate $800,000,000 against $523,000,000 in 1917; Australia about $520, 000,000 against $177,000,000 in 1917; Canada shows little change as compared with last year; Uruguay, a slight gain over. 1918; Brazil, a large increase -owing to the extremely high prices of her principal export, coffee. Manufacturing material and manu lactures also participate in the in. crease of 1919. In our own case's, manufacturers exported in 1919 show a value of about three times as great as that of 1914 while foodstuffs also show a marked increase. British export figures which show a gain of over a billion dollars over 1917 occurred chiefly in manufactures, and this is true also of France in which the exports show a material gain. How much of this large increase in the figures of world trade, is chargeable to higher prices, says the bank's statement, can only be estimated. We know, however, from our own official figures that nearly all articles both of export and import show much higher prices per unit of quantity than at the beginning of the war, while unofficial reports from practically every country of the world show also large advances, suggesting that a very large proporti n of the apparent increase in world trade an advance of about 75 per cent over (he year immediately preceding the war?is in fact due to higher prices rather than to increased quantities of merchandise moved. In ad dition to this it must be remembered that the figures for 1919 include but very small sums for interior Europe, which had before the war a trade of about $9,000,000,000, suggesting that the commercial world exclusive of Germany, Russia and the Austro-Hun garian and Turkish area Vme tvy^K ..V.U K* "W I mmammmmammmemmmmammmmmmmmmmmmmmM Urn 30x3^ Ooodyci Fabric, AU-Wca 30x 3*/i Good\ c ? ?
