AMERICAN EXPORTS.
The United States still is leading the world as an
exporter of manufactures. The total value of manu-
factures exported from this country in 1919 was
$3,486,000,000, which, says the National City Bank
of New York, leaves Uncle Sam clearly in the lead.
In the year preceding the war (1913) our exporta-
tion of manufactures amounted to $1,117,000,000,
and in 1919, the first full peace year following the
war, three times as much in value as in 1913. Prior
to the war the United States ranked third among
nations exporting manufactures, Great Britain being
first, Germany a close second, and France a close
fourth to America's third.
The Yahling-Rayner Piano Co., Youngstown, O.,
has increased its capital stock from $100,000 to
