' " Washington, : D. .C.. March, 6 The growing dependence of the United States upon foreign countries "for a part of its food supply lends Interest to a special statement regarding im ports and exports of eggs, prepared by the Bureau of Foreign- and Domes tic Commerce, Department of Com merce, v Imports of eggs in the month of: December last amounted to 1.514,296 dozens, or more than in the entire fiscal year which ended with June, 1913. In the fiscal year 1903 the im ports amounted to 868,000 dozens; in 1910, 818,000 ;in 1913, 1,367,000 dozens; and In the first three months - under the new-tariif law October, November, and December last during . which per iod eggs were admitted free of duty, the imports aggregated 1,701,153 doz ens, most of them arriving in the month of December. Recent consular advices from China'' and European ports indicate continued large' in creases in the shipments of eggs to this country. -Eggs other than those in the nabuiral condition are still subject to duty. though at reduced rates, and . these show increasing imports In the brief period for -which the monthly flsures are at hand. Frozen or preserved, eggs the duty on which is now two cents per pound, , compared with five" cents a dozen udder the former tariff, show for the last three months of 1913 a to tal importation of about one million " pounds, valued at approximately $115,- 000. - Egg yolks, now dutiable at lo per cent, ad valorem instead of 25 per cent., as under ,the old law, aggregated aoout 200,000 pounds, ana ariea eggs, 8,534 pounds for the. three months end ed with December. ; In each case the imports were considerably larger than those for the corresponding period of 1912. . The countries contributing the eggs imported "into the United States are few in number. ' Our imported eggs are chiefly, the product of China, Si beria, Russia, and Southern Europe, those arriving from' England, and Ger many having been for the mst part shipped into those countries for re sale to foreign markets. . Of ,' eggs imported in the natural -state, Eng land ia the chief nominal source, next in order being China (Including Hong kong) -and Canada. - Frozen eggs are chiefly from England, with smaller quantities from Hongkong. Egg "yolks come almost exclusively from Ger many, which imports- large quantities of eggs from the producing centers of Europe and Asia and re-exports them in this form to the United States and other parts of .the world. . -. .-. Most of the imported eggs enter through the ports of New Yonk, Phila delphia, Boston, San Francisco,! Bal timore,.. Milwaukee,' Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, Oregon. Hawaii also receives . .considerable, .quantities., of frozen or preserved eggs from Hong kong, an important distributing point for" Chinese products. . Exports- of eggs during the year ended , with December, 191 J, amount ed to 11 2-3 million dozens, compar ed with practically 19 million in 1912 5 2-3 million in 1910, and 11-2 -million in 1903,. a decade ago. " While exports of eggs are still much, greater than' imports, the , closing months of the year'- showed a distinctly down ward tendency In 'exports and an "up-, ward trend in' imports of that com munity. 1 : .
