Use Figure 117.) Supply the figures for the last column of Table III, A (page 295), by find- ing the percentage by which each class of exports has increased or de- creased. Why have some classes changed more than others? [n 1880 about 23 per cent of the population of the United States lived in cities, while in 1920 this number had risen to 53. What has this to do with the change in our exports of (a) foodstuffs? (b) manufactures ? Name four of the foodstuffs that are exported most largely from the United States. From what part of the country do they chiefly come ? How has the increase in our city population prevented our decrease in exports of foods from causing a lowering of prices in the United States? Name three countries that are gradually taking our place in supplying the world’s market with foods. What geographical conditions make it possible for them to do this? Name three nations that call on us to help feed them. Describe the geographical conditions that lead them to do this. Compare the changes in the percentages of foodstuffs and of manufac- tures exported by the United States (Table III, A). What parts of the world do we endeavor to supply with manufactured products ? With what nations do we compete for these sales? What are the condi- tions that enable them to comvpete with us?
