Note. — This table covers substantially the trade of the world. It should not be exi)ected that the world 

 export and import totals for any year wlQ agree. Among sources of disagreement are these: (1) Different 

 periods of time covered in the "year" of the various countries; (2) imports received in year subsequent to 

 year of export; (3) want of uniformity in classifieation of goods among countries; (1) different practices and 

 varying degrees of failure in recording countries of origin and ultimate destination; (5) different practices 

 of recording reexported goods; (6) opposite methods of treating free ports; (7) clerical errors, which, it may 

 be assumed, are not infrequent; (8) losses at sea. 



The exports given are domestic exports, and the imports given are imports for consumption as far as it 

 is feasible and consistent so to express the facts. While there are some iaevitable omissions, on the other 

 hand there are some duplications because of reshipments that do not appear as such in official reports. 

 For the United Kingdom , import figures refer to imports for consumption when available; otherwise total 

 imports less exports of "foreign and colonial merchandise." 



The foUowtng kinds and grades have been included under the head of sugar: Brown, white, candied, 

 caramel, chancaca (Peru), crystal cube, maple, muscovado, panela. The following have been excluded: 

 "Candy" (meaning confectionery), confectionery, glucose, grape sugar, jaggery, molasses, and sirup. 



Some figures in this table refer to raw and some to refined sugar, according to the kind reported in the 

 original returns. In the statistics of the foreign trade of the United States, the Philippine Islands are 

 treated as a foreign country; all other noncontiguous possessions, as part of the United States.
