TABLE 10.-Farm price of corn per bushel on first of each month, 1911 and 1912.

TABLE 11.-International trade in corn, including corn meal, calendar years 1907-1911.

[The item maicena or maizena is included as "Corn and corn meal."]

GENERAL NOTE.-Substantially the international trade of the world. It should not be expected that the world export and import totals for any year will agree. Among sources of disagreement are these. (1) Different periods of time covered in the "year" of the various countries; (2) imports received in year subsequent to year of export; (3) want of uniformity in classification of goods among countries; (4) different practices and varying degrees of failure in recording countries of origin and ultimate destination; (5) different practices of recording reexported goods; (6) opposite methods of treating free ports; (7) clerical errors, which,it may be assumed, are not infrequent.

The exports given are domestic exports, and the imports given are imports for consumption as far as it is feasible and consistent so to express the facts. While there are some inevitable omissions, on the other hand, there are some duplications because of reshipments that do not appear as such in official reports. For the United Kingdom import figures refer to imports for consumption, when available, otherwise total imports less exports of "foreign and colonial merchandise." Figures for the United States include Alaska, Porto Rico, and Hawaii.
