l'AUIS, Aug. 8. Tho customs administra
tion has Just published tho figures ot
France's foreign trade for tho first r.lx
months of 191C. These show tho Impor
tntlon of i. 117,000 tons of gntlns ntul flour,
nil from tho United States.
The Importation of powder, arms and mu
nitions from tho United Slate.", which was
Insignificant In 1911 nnd only reached in,
000,000 francs In 1916. totnled nearly 12l.
000,000 francs for tho first sis months of
this yenr.
Tho total Importations nnd exportntloni
of Prance this year are only 1,600,000,000
francs less thnn In 1911. This represents
n loss In commerce In the second year of
the war. but ot course it must bo remem
bered that CO per cent of tho total rep
resents Imports.
The United Ktntes furnished 10 per cent
ot tho sugar Imported this year, which Is
the same proportion ns In 1915. The pro
portion of salt and frozen meat furnished
by tho United States Is tho samo ns for
sugar.
From 1910 to 1914 the average Importa
tion of horses Into Franco was 25,000 head
n year, but In 1915 It wns 180,000, nnd this
year 415,000, of which last year the United
States furnished 70,000, nnd this year
81,000.
Tho Importation of cotton has fallen off
greatly, but of the 125.000 tons Imported
this year the United States sent 98,000. The
Importation of mineral oil, on the other
baud, Increased, and the United Stales fur
nished four-tlftbs, represented this year by
2,800,000 tons.
In exports only one product shows nn
Increnso this year, which Is slll. Tho fig
ures this year, 207,000.000 francs, pass any
thing ever known before. Of this amount
tho United Stales took 00,000,000 francs'
worth, compared with 20,000,000 In 1911.
Tho total exports show a falling on" of 49
per cent, ns compared with 1914, but It Is
evident from the great amount ot business
done that the reciprocal needs of tho nations
will mnko It Impossible to suppress com
merce by war to such proportions ns at
present.
