The year 1901 shows a broad export rebound with a total near 4,000,000 dollars less than 1908, offset by gains in wheat, flour, provisions, and cotton manufactures. Declines occurred in corn, copper, cotton, and mineral oils, while locomotives rose in quantity but fell in value. The weakness in South and corn crop shortages largely drove reductions.
