_Import statistics._—Imports of the separated and mixed cresols are
combined in official statistics. Table 75 shows imports of the cresols
“90 percent pure or more.” There have been no recorded imports of less
pure grades.
Tables 76, 77, and 78 show, by principal sources, imports of metacresol,
orthocresol, and paracresol, as obtained from invoice analyses by the
United States Tariff Commission. The sum of the three tabulations does
not equal the total shown for all cresols in table 75. The difference
in 1934 of 38,744 pounds valued at $12,906 is accounted for by mixed
cresols. Undoubtedly the differences in other years may be similarly
accounted for.
