 been refined in the United States on toll. 

 The more comparable year, therefore, is 

 1916 in which, as this year, shipments rep- 

 resented strictly exports of American re- 

 fined.

Com.parison of the movement last month 

 iwith that during February shows that the 

 'increase of roundly 54,000 tons in exports 

 'is accounted for chiefly by the largely in- 

 creased shipments to the United Kingdom, 

 Spain and Greece and her possessions, in 

 Europe, and to China, Hongkong and 

 Egypt, outside Europe. Exports to France 

 in March were only about 1,000 tons more 

 than in February, but Turkey, Italy and 

 Norway took increased quantities. On the 

 other hand, exports to Argentina, Uruguay 

 and British India declined, although those 

 to India were still considerable in compar- 

 ison with the normal export to that 

 i country.
