Not a Very Favorable Showing Made by Statistics.
BERLIN, Jan. 20. - The imperial statistical office has published the approximate results of Germany's foreign trade in 1901, showing that the total imports amounted to 44,304,870 tons, compared with 45,911,799 and 44,622,285 tons in 1899 and 1900, respectively. There was a decrease of 3 per cent in last year's imports compared with those of 1900.
There was a decrease of more than a million tons in the coal imports, and more than 100,000 tons in the iron and timber imports. The imports of wheat rose 1,250,000 tons. The total exports amounted to 22,563,945 tons, compared with 22,681,741 in 1900. The increase in iron exports was nearly 500,000 tons. The decrease in the exports of ores and coal is especially noticeable.
The value of the imports in 1901 was 5,610,000,000 marks, compared with 6,043,000,000 marks in the preceding year, while the exports were valued at 4,550,000,000 marks as against 4,753,000,000 marks in 1900. The figures as regards value emphatically must not be accepted as definite. They are based on the prices of 1900.
The final result will probably prove unfavorable.
