The great bulk of our export cargoes, in weight, goes to Canada, the United Kingdom, the Havre-Hamburg range, and Latin America {Table 31). Canada received 19.5 per cent in 1925, the United King- dom 14.6 per cent, the Havre-Hamburg range 15.9 per cent, and Latin America 12.8 per cent. With regard to imports, the large amount of oil imported from Mexico raises that country to first rank in point of weight of imports, shipments of that commodity to the United States, despite a great falling off, accounsing for 24.5 per cent of the total in 1925. Canada ranks next with 19.2 per cent. Latin America, exclusive of Mexico. accounted for 29 per cent of the vear's sotal imports. Petroleum and products represent the greatest weight of both im- ports and exports, accounting in 1925 for 30.2 per cent of the former and 31.1 per cent of the latter (Table 32). Exports of wheat and other grains amounted to 14.8 per cent of the total, coal and coke to 11.4 per cent, and logs and lumber to 10.5 per cent. Cotton, wheat flour, iron and steel manufactures, vegetables and vegetable products, meat and dairy products, and phosphates followed. Imports of sugar ranked second to petroleum, and accounted for 10.5 per cent of the total; iron ore represented 6.3 per cent, and logs and lumber 3.8 per cent. Fruits and nuts, molasses, nitrates, iron and steel manufac- tures, potash, and wood pulp were next in importance among the import items. Petroleum imports have fallen steadily since 1922.
