INTERNATIONAL DEALINGS OF 1910 EXCEL PREVIOUS REC? ORDS. American Bureau of Statistics Finds Great Increase In Export and Im? port Business. Washington, Dec. 18.?The calen? dar year 1910 will be the banner year for the world's international trade according to the bureau of statistics. The bureau receives statistics from practically every country and these show that both Imports and exports are considerably greater than In 1909. Considering the figured that are now at hand for any part of the cal? endar year 11*10, the bureau And that In practically every case the records show the Imports In 1910 to be greatly <n excels of any monhtly average of the year while the exports are with few exceptions also in ex? cess of those of 1909. The bureau has received reports from 27 countries which cover from six to 10 months of the calendar year 1910. In all of the 27 countries the figures of imports show a marked In? crease in the monthly averages as compared with the corresponding pe? riod of 1909. The exports also are con? siderably larger except in the case of Argentine and Bulgaria. Considering the countries for which figures are at hand, the monthly Im? ports and exports show an Increase of about nine per cent, as compared with the corresponding month of last year and It is believed the world's International commerce for 1910 probably will show exports valued at between 14 and 15 billion dolars. Francis W. Hirst, editor of the London Ecanomist, in a speech made Friday night before the American So cley for the settlement of internation? al disputes stated that war scares were all largely created by armament contractors, who for their own bene? fit would finally succeed in dragging the various countries which 'were now building such Mg navies into bank? ruptcy.
