Europe Dominates US Trade, Supplying Half of Imports
A Commerce and Labor bulletin notes Europe received two thirds of US exports and supplied nearly half of US imports. In 1865 Europe absorbed $239 million in manufactures and $182 million in foodstuffs and materials, while by 1900 exports to other regions rose to $354 million and 1950s figures show non European growth outpacing Europe. The share from Europe fell from about 55 percent before 1899 to 48 percent in 1905 due to rising tropical and subtropical product demand from the US. In 1885 tropical imports totaled $303 million, rising to $503 million by 1915.

Stocks Hold Up Well In Dull Market Tone
Speculators expect higher prices later as money rates ease in about a month, while recent heavy snows burden railroads but aid crops. The market showed extreme dullness with little public participation, yet withstood bearish signals like Missouri Pacific’s dividend miss. Foreign money markets behaved oddly as call money rose despite cheap time money, and heavy dividend disbursements strained liquidity. Weather helped winter wheat prospects, likely boosting next year’s exports, while coal mine labor fear remains a wild card.
