increased exports when compared 
| with the preceding year, many of 
| them making new high records in 
| the year now approaching its close. 
| Tron and steel manufactures, which 
| head the list of domestic manufac- 
tures exported, give promise of a 
| total of 250 million dollars in the 
ealendar year 1911, compared with 
201 million in 1910 and 102% 
million in 1901, a _ decade earlier. 
Copper manufactures, including 
pigs, bars, ete., will approximate 100 
| million dollars in the year’s exports, 
compared with 94 million in 1910 
and 3314 million in 1901. Refined 
mineral oil will also exceed 100 mil- 
lion dollars in the calendar year 
1911, as against 89 million last year 
and 67 million in 1901. Wood man- 
| ufactures give indications of exceed- 
ing 90 million dollars in 1911, com- 
pared with 82 million in 1910 and 46 
million in 1901. 
The gains shown in the four great 
classes of manufactures already dis- 
cussed are typical of those made in 
other important classes of less mag- 
nitude in the export trade. The in- 
dicated totals in the full year’s ex- 
port trade are, in the case of agri- 
cultural implements, nearly 40 mil- 
lion dollars, compared with 31 mil- 
lion last year; and 17 million a de- 
eade ago; cotton manufactures, 45 
million dollars in 1911, against 3514 
million in 1910 and 26 million in 
1901; leather and its manufactures, 
50 million dollars, compared with 
531% million last year and 29 million 
a decade ago; chemicals, etce., 23 
million dollars in 1911, compared 
with 22 million in 1910 and 14 mil- 
lion in 1901; and cars and earriages, 
about 35 million dollars in 1911, 
against 25 million in 1910 and 11 
million in 1901. A noteworthy fea- 
ture in this last named class is the 
rapid development of the export 
trade in automobiles, which has 
risen from less than a half million 
dollars in the last half of the calen- 
dar year 1901, the earliest period for 
which the record was kept, to 13 
million in 1910 and an indicated to- 
tal of 15 million in the year ending 
December next. 
A study of our exports as to 
countries of destination indicates a 
world-wide distribution of domestic 
manufactures, such industrial cen- 
ters as the United Kingdom, Ger- 
many, and Belgium sharing with ag- 
ricultural and comparatively unde- 
veloped sections such as Canada, 
Argentina, Mexico and China in 
their increasing purchases of Ameri- 
can manufactures. Under the head 
of iron and steel manufactures, for 
example, our typewriters are sold

chiefly in Great Britain and Ger- 
many; our metal-working machin- 
ery, in Germany and the United 
Kingdom, with Franee and Canada 
as other important markets. Our 
sewing machines are exported prin- 
cipally to the United Kingdom, 
Germany, and Brazil; and our steel 
rails, mostly to Canada, though Ja- 
pan, Argentina, Mexico and oriental 
countries are also important mar- 
kets. Canada, the United Kingdom 
and Australia are the leading mar- 
ket for American automobiles ex- 
ported. Our exports of agricultural 
implements to Europe (chiefly Rus- 
sia, France and Germany) exceed 
the combined exports thereof to all 
other parts of the world, though as 
single markets Canada and Argen- 
tina rank next to Russia. American 
leather is exported largely .to the 
United Kingdom, Germany and 
Netherlands; boots and shoes, chief- 
ly to Cuba, Canada and the United 
Kingdom. American cigarettes are 
exported mostly to India and China; 
plug tobacco to Australia; and 
American illuminating oil in large 
quantities to China, the United 
Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, 
Japan and India, and in not incon- 
siderable amounts to countries rep- 
resenting every grand division of 
the globe.
