In deed, more than one-half of the im portations nt the present time is for use In manufacturing, crude material forming 32.3 per cent of the total im ports, and manufactures for further use in manufacturing 19.5 per cent. Thus 51.8 per cent of the entire importations In the seven months ending with Jan uary. 1907. may properly be classed as manufacturers' materials, and in the single month of January, 1907, the pro portion which this class of materials formed of the total imports was 54 per cent. In nearly nil articles classed as man ufacturers' materials the figures for the seven months ending with January, 1907. are larger than those for the cor responding months or the preceding year. Cement, for instance, shows a total Importation of 744 million pounds, against but 215 millions In the same months of last year. Chemicals of all sorts, a large pro portion of which is used in manufac turing. were imported tt> the value of 47 million dollars in the seven months ending with January. 1907, against 42 millions in the same months of the preceding year. Copper, including under this term the ore which is brought In for smelting and the pig copper which Is brought In f.*r refining, amounted in the sevent months which ended with January, 1907, to 23 4 million dollars, against 17% millions In the corresponding months of last year. Raw cotton, chiefly Egyptian, of course, showed Importations during the seven months ending with January, 1907, amounting to 43 million pounds, valued at S’J million dollars, against hut 8SV4 million pounds, valued at less that 0 million dollars.

In fact, suited to be. and are in fact classed by the Bureau of Sta tistics of the Department of Com merce and Labor, as manufdcturers' material, since they are, after being brought into the United Slates, both cut and set by American labor. The value of uncut diamonds Importeed in the seven months ending with January*. 1907, was. In round terms. 7 million ri liars, against 54 millions in the cor responding months of the preceding year; and of diamonds cut hut not set. which thus also give employment to American labor in the setting, amounted to nearly 15 million dollars in the recent seven-month period, n gainst 13 1 a millions in the correspon ding months of last year.
