MINERAL PRODUCTS. 13 preparations. The exports of these materials amount to over 3 per cent of the total usual exports from the United States, their value for the fiscal year just closed being over $100,000,000. The exportations of petroleum and its products have practically ceased for a time, with the exception of an occasional cargo of illumi nating oil shipped to some country not in a state of war, especially to the West Indies and Mexico. This means the temporary loss to the United States of a foreign market, which consumed about one- fifth of the oil produced, and its effect has been a still more serious disturbance in the conditions of the oil trade. Up to a few years ago the imports of petroleum and its products into the United States were trifling. In 1912 the imports of crude oil from Mexico assumed considerable proportions, amounting to 145,247,828 gallons. They increased in the following year to 500,- 000,000 gallons, and in 1914 to 773,052,480 gallons, worth $11,- 776,737. This Mexican petroleum can be imported to the east coast of the United States at very low cost, to be used for fuel, and has been of a decided benefit in replacing oil produced in the United States, which is capable of higher utilization. The Mexican imports will probably continue. In addition benzine and gasoline have for several years been imported to the extent of 15,000,000 gallons, valued at about $1,000,000, from Borneo to the Pacific coast to make up the necessary supply for that region. These importations from Borneo will now cease and probably would have ceased in any event, on account of the surplus of gasoline now available in that region. Mention of the opportunity for domestic manufacture of certain medicinal preparations from American petroleum will be found under the heading " Other products ” (p. 45). METALS. THE GENERAL SITUATION. Of the metals and metallic ores the United States has been both an importer and an exporter. Our imports of iron ore are double our exports, whereas of metallic copper we export nearly twice as much as we import. The general rule, however, probably is that the im ports of manufactured or partly manufactured metals largely exceed in value the ores and crude metals brought into this country for domestic manufacture, and in our exports a somewhat similar ratio exists between crude material and manufactures, so that there is presented a double opportunity for increasing the scope and extent of our metal industries for both domestic consumption and export. Far too much American metal crosses the Atlantic in the crude or semicrude state only to come back to us in various manufactured forms. The smelter industry in this country is in some degree dependent on foreign ores and matte. The production of metals from such
