EUROPE’S RECOVERY.
T One of the surprises of the after-tlic-war trade of the United States is the large increases in quantities of merchandise being sent us froxu Europe, says a San Francisco paper. It has been asserted that Europe would have little which she could send to the United States in exchange for our merchandise, but official figures of imports from that continent in the calendar year will show a total considerably more than double that of 1918. AVhilc the details of December are not yet available, the official figures for eleven months ending with November put the imports from Europe at 653,370.000 dollars, against 292,454,000 dollars in the same months of 1918, anil partial reports for December indicate that the total Europe in the full year 1919 will approximate 750,000,000 dollars, against 38,000,000 dollars in 1918. and form, a total larger than that of any year since 1914. The 1919 figures will apparently show an increase of about 125 per cent over those of 1918, the closing year of the war.
