INTRODUCTION. AMERICAN COMMERCE. The object of this study of American commerce is to present in concise form a statement of the commercial conditions in the various countries of all America. It has been deemed proper to include also brief statements of area, population, products, and productive capacities; transportation, present and prospective; and other subjects closely allied to commerce, with the thought that the in- formation would not only be required by those desiring to study at the present moment economic conditions in these countries, but also be useful to general students; and the purpose has been to bring down to the latest available date facts of this character re- garding all countries of the Western Hemisphere. The statement with reference to the United States has been made in general outlines only, since the details are presented in other publica- tions of this Bureau, notably the Statistical Abstract of the United States and Commerce and Navigation of the United States, issued annually and to be obtained on application by any one desiring more detailed information on the commerce of the United States than is given in this work. The total commerce of all America, as compiled for the lateit available year, amounted to .$5,544,608,000, of which §3,025,272,000 was that of the United States and the remaining $2,519,3.30,000 was distributed among the other countries of North, South, and Central America, and the West Indies, as is shown in Tables 1 and 2, on pages 6 and 7. Considering the imports and exports separately, the total im- ports of all American countries amounted to $2,262,239,000, of which $1,144,421,000 was the value of imports into the United States, the remaining §1,117,818,000 being distributed among the other American countries. The total exports of all American countries were §3,282,369,000, of which §1,880,851,000 were from the United States, the remaining $1,401,518,000 being exported from the various other American countries. Of the $1,117,818,000 representing the total imports of all Amer- ican countries other than the United States, $407,003,000, or 36.4 per cent, was drawn from the United States; of the •$1,401,518,000 representing the total exports of all American countries other than the United States, .$455,228,000, or 32.5 per cent, was sent to (he United States." A comparison of conditions of our trade with North and South America, respectively, indicates that a much larger share of the trade of the North American countries is carried on with the United States than of the Soutli American countries. The total imports of aU North American countries other than the United States (includ- A similar computation, made in the first edition of this monogaph (issup Estimate, based upon value of exports into United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany from Haiti. <: Imports into United States. d Estimated. Exports of St. Croix, $483,671; exports of St. Thomas not stated, but probably equal to those of St. Croix. SHARE OF PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES IN THE MARKETS SOUTH OF THE united STATES. The value of merchandise imported into the countries lying south of the United States is about 815 million dollars, according to the latest data. Of this about 230 millions i.s supplied by the United States, 160 millions by the United Kingdom, 75 millions by Ger- many, 50 millions by France, 33 millions by Italy, and 27 millions by Spain, the remainder being largely commerce between countries composing the group. Thu?, about 575 millions of the 815 million dollars' worth of merchandise imported by all America south of the United States is drawn from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, and a larger share from the United States than from any other country. Of the 815 million dollars ' worth of merchandise imported into the countries south of the United States about 500 million dollare' worth, or approximately two-thirds of the total, consists of manufactures, which include cotton manufac- tures valued at over 100 million dollars; iron and steel manufactures, including machinery, nearly 100 millions; wood and manufactures thereof, 25 millions; manufactures of wool, a little more than 20 mil- lions; leather and manufactures thereof, 15 millions; and agricul- tural implements, over 7 millions. Of cotton goods, the largest single group, the United Kingdom supplied, in 1904, 56 million dollars' worth, the United States 16 millions, Germany 12 mUlions, Italy nearly 9 millions, France 5^ millions, and Spain 4 millions. Thus, the United States, although the largest cotton producer of the world, supplied but about one-sixth of the cotton goods imported into the countries in question, and the United Kingdom consider- ably more than one-half. The share supplied by the United States is, however, something of an improvement upon the situation ten years earlier, when this countrj' supplied only about one-ninth of the 75 million dollars' worth of goods then imported into the countries in question, while the United Kingdom at that time supplied nearly two-thirds of the total. A comparison of the figures of cotton goods exported from the vari- ous cotton-manufacturing countries to the countries south of the United States in 1904 with those of 1894 shows that the exports of cotton goods from the United States to these countries grew from 8J million dollars to a little over 16 millions, those of the United King- dom from 46J millions to 56 millions, those of Germany from about 7 millions to about 12^ millions, those of Italy from a little less than 2 millions to nearly 9 millions, those of France from a little less than 5 millions to a little less than 6 millions, while those of Spain fell from 6J millions to 4 millions. In iron and steel manufactures the United States is doing better in the countries under consideration than in cotton manufactures. Of the practically 100 million dollare' worth of iron and steel manufac- tures exported to those countries in 1904, 36 millions, or more than one-third, was from the United States, 32 millions from the United ICingdom, about 18 millions from Germany, and 2§ millions from France. Of the wood manufactures, valued at 25 million dollars, exported to the countries in question the United States supplied about 16 mil- lions and Italy 6^ millions. Of the wool manufactures, amounting to about 21 millions, 114 millions were from the United Kingdom, 5^ millions from Germany, 3 millions from France, and but half a mil- lion from the United States. Of the 7| million dollars' worth of agri- cultural implements 6J millions were from the United States. Coal imports into the countries in question amounted to about 20 million dollars in value, and of this 13 millions was from the United King- dom and 5^ millions from the United States. EXPORTS FROM COUNTRIES SOUTH OF THE UNITED STATES. The total exports from this territory amounted, according to the latest available information, to 1,130 million dollars, of which about 355 million dollars' worth went to the United States. The United Kingdom occupies the second place as a purchaser of Latin- American goods, with about 210 million dollars annually; Germany and France follow, with about 178 and 108 million dollars, respec- tively, while Italy and Spain, coming next in order, receive no more than 12 to 14 million dollars' worth of merchandise each. Thus, the six countries enumerated absorb about 900 million dollars' worth, or two-thirds of the total exports from Latin America, while the greater portion of the remaining third probably belongs to the trade of the Latin-American countries among themselves. As ia natural for countries of recent economic development, the bulk of the exports consists of a comparatively small number of foodstuffs or raw materials. Thus, in 1904, for which year a careful compila- tion has been made, the following articles occupy important posi- tions in the exports of American countries south of the United States: Cereals, 110 million dollars, against 34 million dollars in 1894; coffee, 140 million dollars, against 154 million dollars a decade earlier; sugar, 96 million dollars; rubber and gutta pcrcha, 67 million doUai-s; hides and skins, 54 million dollars; wool, 84 million dollars; copper ore and metal, 30 million dollars, and cocoa, 24 million dollars. These figures include th(> exports from Latin America only to the six countries above mentioned. The eight groups of merchandise enumerated thus represented a value of over 600 million dollars, or about two-thirds of the total exports to those countries. 8 COMMERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. In the distribution of these various products considerable differ- ence may be found between the United States and the main Euro- pean countries as markets for South American goods, this country' taking nine-tenths of the Latin-American sugar, more than half of the coffee, and about one-half of its rubber and its copper ore; while the United Kingdom takes two-thiixls of its cereals, almost 90 per cent of its pro\'isions, and comparatively little of its coffee or its sugar. Germany also takes large quantities of the South American cereals, over 30 million dollars' worth of South American coffee, about 25 million dollars' worth of the wool, and 20 million dollars' worth of the hides and skins. France again takes almost half of the entire exports of Latin-American wool and large quantities of coffee and cocoa. Accordingly, the distribution of the main products of Latin- American industry may in a general way be indicated thus: Its sugar and its copper go mainly to the United States; its coffee and its hides and skins to the United States, Germany, and France; its cereals and provisions mainly to the United Kingdom and to some extent to Germany; and its wool to Germany and France. These generalizations are obtained from a series of tables on page 118, showing the exports by principal articles from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain to the countries south of the United States in 1894 and in 1904; and from a similar statement with reference to imports into the United King- dom, Germanj^ France, Italy, and Spain from the countries south of the United States. ORDER IN WHICH COUNTRIES ARE ARRANGED IN THIS STUDY. American commerce has been considered as a whole in this dis- cussion, and in analyzing that commerce it has been found conven- ient, though somewhat unusual, to arrange the countries in alpha- betical order without reference to the section of the hemisphere in which they are located. This will give to those desiring to study conditions in the various countries opportunity to readily determine the relative position of any country in the great group forming all America. In this arrangement of countries the British, French, and other colonies in the West Indies have been gi-ouped under the gen- eral head of "West Indies," those in Guiana under the head of "Guianas," and the Central American States and British Honduras under the general head of "Central American Republics." Following the text discussion are tables showing the commerce of each country. These tables are also arranged alphabetically with reference to the countries whose commercial statistics they present. Tables 1 and 2, on pages 6 and 7, show the total imports and total exports of America by countries and the share of the United States in the import and export trade, respectively, of each of the countries named. ARGENTINA. [Area, 1,136,000 square miles; population in 1903 estimated at 5,005,853.] The total commerce of Argentina in 1905 was $509,518,000, of which $197,974,000 were imports and $311,544,000 exports. Of the imports 14.1 per cent was drawn fi-om the United States, and of the exports 4.9 per cent was sent to the United States. The official fig- ures of the United States with reference to its trade with Ai-gentina show that the imports from that country have grown from $5,401,697 in 1890 to §8,114,304 in 1900 and $16,715,325 in 1907, and the exports thereto from $8,887,477 in 1890 to $11,558,237 in 1900 and $32,163,336 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figm'es in all cases. AGRICULTURE. Agi-icultm-e and stock raising is the chief industry of the country, and Argentina's wheat figures are an important factor in the world's grain markets. The land under cultivation was, in 1895, 4,892,005 hectares (over 12,000,000 acres); according to an estimate of the Argentina department of agriculture this area had increased to about 10,000,000 hectares, or double, in 1904; yet that area constituted less than one-tenth of the total arable land fit for cultivation, the latter being estimated at 104,300,000 hectares (257,700,000acres). Inaddi- tion, there are over 100,000,000 hectares which can so far be utilized only for stock breeding, and more than 90,000,000 hectares under forests and on mountains containing immense wealth in lumber and minerals. According to the returns of the Argentina department of agriculture, the area under cultivation in the agricultural year 1902-3 was 9,114,616 hectares (22,522,216 acres). The area under wheat more than trebled from the year 1891 to 1903, under corn more than doubled, and under alfalfa nearly trebled, etc. The production of cereals and linseed occupies about three-fourths of the total area under cultivation and is concentrated in the central portion of the country comprised within the proAdnces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Cordova, Entre Rios, and in the territory of Pampa, which are especially favored by climatic conditions and proximity to the At- lantic ports. The cultivation of wheat, corn, and linseed is con- stantly increasing, the wheat area alone having reached 5,145,399 hectares (12,714,281 acres) in 1904-5, exceeding the total area under cultivation of all crops in Argentina for 1895, which was 4,892,005 hectares (12,088,144 acres). The linseed area has increased to 1,268,556 hectares (3,134,602 acres) and the com area to 2,106,819 hectares (5,205,950 acres) in 1903-4. The cultivation of cotton, though of very recent origin, gives some promise, and the northern territories and provinces of Argentina, especially those of El Chaco and Misiones, favored by their subtrop- ical situation, bid fair to become important sources of the world's cotton supply. At present, however, the production of cotton is quite insignificant, having increased from 17 bales in 1902 to 495 bales in 1905. In addition to cotton there are also found indigenous tex- tile plants known under the names of chaguar, caraguata, and palma caranday, which cover enormous areas and furnish valuable fiber. There is also considerable production of sugar cane, which is like- wise confined to the northern states. It was originally cultivated in the province of Tucuman, anc^ gi-adually extended to the prov- inces of Santiago, Salta, and Jujuy, and is at present being intro- duced also in Chaco, Formosa, and Misiones. It is already begin- ning to fm-nish a surplus for export, which amounted to nearly 50,000 tons in 1901, when the total production exceeded 165,000 tons. The average yield per hectare varies between 25,000 and 35,000 kilos (55,000 to 77,000 pounds), occasionally rising to 46,000 kilos, or 101,000 pounds. The production of the main agricultural articles in Argentina dur- ing the last decade is shown in the following table: Table 3. — Annual Production op Corn, Wheat, Tobacco, Flaxseed, and Sugar in Argentina, 1895-1906."

The forests of Argentina abound in rare and valuable species of timber, such as quebracho, jacaranda. lapacho. rosewood, and other dyewoods. The export of -wood products in 1905 were valued at nearly 6i million dollars gold, of which the quebracho extract furnished' $2,343,000 and quebracho logs $4,125,000. The stock-breeding industn,- of Argentina is no less important than the cultivation of cereals and other agricultural products. The fol- lowing table shows the number of live stock at the time of the taking of the last two censuses, and the estimated number in 1901 : Table 5. — Live Stock in Argextixa ix 1888, 1895, axd 1901.

Sheep raising is one of the most important branches of the animal industry . The sheep are grown principally for their wool and consti- tute a verj' important factor in the wool supply of the world. In 1870 the wool product of Argentina amounted to 130 million pounds, in 1891 to 310 million pounds, and in 1900 had grown to about 500 million pounds. The total quantity of wool entering into inter- national trade has been computed by the United States Department of Agriculture at 1,671 million pounds in 1901. of which Argentina furnished 503 million pounds, or 30 per cent. In 1904 the total quantity exported from all coimtries decreased to 1,538 million pounds, of which 372 million pounds, or 24 per cent, came from Argentina. This, however, was a year of unusually small wool exports from Argentina, which thus furnishes from one-fourth to one-third of all wool entering the international trade. Three-fourths of the wool produced is of white-faced long-wool sheep, one-fifth of merino, and about 5 per cent of black-face sheep. Sheep are also raised for slaughter, furnishing not only all the mut- ton used in the countrj-, but also increasing shipments to foreign countries. In 1904. over 195 million pounds of mutton and 215 million pounds of frozen beef were shipped out of Argentina. MANtTFACTURES. The manufacturing industries of Argentina, which gave employ- ment to about 168,000 people in 1895, the last census year, and repre- sented an in vestment of nearly 285 mill ion dollars, are chiefly carried on for the supply of domestic wants, only the meat-packing indus- try furnishing a considerable contribution to the export trade. In 1903 five large freezing establishments were engaged in shipping meats to the United Kingdom; more meat-packing plants have been added since then, and with the completion of the factories in course of construction the capacity of the Argentine industrj' was ex- pected to reach 850,000 cattle and 12 million sheep per annum. Among the other important industries are flour mills, distilleries, sugar refineries, and wine-making establishments, all of which have been producing a surplus for the export trade. The total invest- ment in manufacturing and the number of persons employed have greatly increased since 1895, the date of the census above quoted. The direction taken by Argentine industry has been in the line of building up those branches of manufacture for which the countrj- is excellently equipped with raw materials. This is true of flour mills, meat-packing establishments, sugar refineries, breweries, distil- leries, etc., all of which not only supply the needs of the country, but furnish increasing surplus quantities for export. There are also industries with considerable numbers of emploj-ees, and representing large investments of capital, which are satisfying to an increasing extent the needs of the people for clothing, footwear, furniture, and household goods, metallic products, chemicals, etc. Electric light- ing and gas plants are also increasing in number and are largely in Number. 30.000,000 5.600,000 500, 000 120.000,000 800,000 3,100,000 foreign hands. All this has had its effect on the character of the export trade. Table 6. — Exports from Argentlsa ix 1872, 1895, axd 1905, BY Cl.^sses of Prodvcts. PRODUCTS OF— 1872 1895 190.i The animal industry.

On the other hand, the share of agricultural products in the total exports has increased from about one-fifth of 1 per cent to more than one-half of the total ex- ports, the entire development of Argentine agriculture having been accomplished within these three decades. Manufactured products furnished only 3i per cent of the total export trade in 1905, as against 5 per cent in 1872, but this must not obscure the fact that the exports of manufactured articles have increased from 2^ million dollars to more than 11 million dollars. commerce. A comparison of the import and export figures for the period 1891-1905 shows that while in 1891 the exports exceeded the imports by nearly 35 million dollars, in 1905 the exports exceeded the imports by more than 113 million dollars. During this period the imports trebled, increasing from nearly 65 million dollars to 198 millions, or over 200 per cent, while the exports increased from neai'ly 100 millions to 312 millions, or 212 per cent. The United Kingdom, which enjoys the largest share of the im- port trade, sent to Argentina in 1905 merchandise worth 6G million doUai-s, or one-third of the total imports. Next in order of impor- tance is Germany, the imports from which in 1905 exceeded 28 million dollars in value, closely followed by the United States, from which Argentina imported commodities worth nearly 28 mil- lion dollars. The only other cotmtries of importance in the import trade of Argentina are France, with over 20 million dollars, and Italy, with 194 million dollars. Until a few years ago the imports from the United Kingdom were greater than those from the United States, Germany, and France combined. In the last few years, however, the relative share of the British trade in Argentina has been gradually declining, and those of the United States, Germany, and France have been increasing, as shown by the following table: Table 7. — Percentages of Total Imports ixto Argextix.a.

The principal imports of Argentina are textiles and wearing ap- parel, various manufactures of iron and steel, pottery, glass, food products, manufactures of wood, beverages, chemicals, minerals and oils, paper, and tobacco; in most of these, textiles being a notable exception, the United States plays an important part. In fact, as sho-\vn by Special Agent Hutchinson, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, on the basis of annual averages for the five- year period, 1899-1903, the United States took first rank in four of the important classes of Argentine imports, viz, agiicultinral machinery and implements, sewing machines, cordage and twine, and scientific instruments; the United States ranked second in five classes of Argentine imports — machinery other than agricultural and sewing machines, iron and steel wire, builders' hardware, railway and street cars, chemicals and drugs. In five of the important classes of imports the United States ranked third or lower.

The merchandise covered in the above table includes 90 per cent of the imports of Ai-gentina from the United States and 60 per cent of the total imports of Argentina from foreign countries. The remaining 40 per cent of Argentine pnrchases from abroad include articles of which the United States supplies but little or nothing, such as coal, \vines, porcelain, and other products. As regards exports, the United Kingdom again figm-es as the most important purchaser from Argentina, being credited with more than 43 million dollars' worth of Argentina's exports in 1905. As a matter of fact, however, the exports to the United Kingdom are really much larger, since a large portion of the cereals shipped from Ai'gentina to St. Vincent and Las Palmas "for orders" usually finds its way to that country. Thus, according to the estimate of the Argentine consul-general at London, the exports from the Republic to the United Ivingdom in 1903 amounted to about 95 million dol- lars, as compared with the official figures which credited that coun- try with only 35 millions. Next in order of importance among COMIIERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 11 Argentina's customers, according to the Argentine figures, is France with over 36 mjllion dollars in 1905, followed by Germany with $35,761,000 worth, and Belgium with 20 million dollars' worth. It is probable, however, that a very large part of the exports to Bel- gium find theu- way ultimately to Germany, which would in that case rank second in order of importance, leaving France behind. The United States was credited in 1905 with more than 15 million dollars' worth of Argentina's exports, which is the largest figure on record in the history of trade relations between the two Republics, being more than double the figure of ten years ago. Argentina buys more from the United States than it sells to this country. The principal exports of Argentina are cereals, linseed, animal products, and dyewoods, for which articles the demand is much greater in the European countries than in the United States. In the fiscal year 1906, the most important articles imported into the United States from Argentina were as follows: Hides and skins, ?7, 644, 969; wool, unmanufactured, -$7,427,080; chemicals and drugs, §1,140,718, and tanning materials, $1,198,391; these constituting almost 95 per cent of the entire imports from Argentina into the United States. The course of the export trade in the principal products of Argentina in the twelve years ended 1905 will be seen from the following figures: Table 10. — Principal E.xports from Argentina in 1894 and 1905.

Previous to that the imports usually exceeded the exports. This may be explained by the facts (1) that the industries of Argentina are to an increasing extent satisfying the immediate wants of its people; (2) that its rapidly increas- ing population is fiunishing a larger and larger surplus of agiicul- tural products in excess of its own immediate needs; (3) that in the previous years a considerable part of the large imports represented investment of foreign capital in railways and manu- facturing enterprises which reached the country in the form of steel rails, railway rolling stock, machinery, and other equipment required by railways and industrial plants, which were almost entirely imported from the countries which furnished the capital. A great part of the excess of exports represents now the intere.st on the investment which the foreign capitalists are deriving from Argentina, as well as the payment of interest and principal on the public debt held in Europe. Detailed statements of the foreign trade of Argentina, both by countries and by articles, for a series of j'ears, \vill be found on pages 73, 84, and 85, in the statistical appendix. transportation. Steamships and sailiru) vessels. — The shipping service of Argentina is rapidly developing, following the growth of her foreign trade, and a considerable number of vessels carry the Argentine flag. In 1869 there were 1,698 sailing vessels and steamships flying the Ai^entine flag; in 1895 the number had increased to 2,654. The progress in shipbuilding resulting in the building of larger steamers, the ton- nage increased even to a larger extent, viz, from 151,177 tons in 1869 to 368,634 tons in 1895, an increase of 144 per cent. In 1895 there were 406 steamers, with a tonnage exceeding 190,000 — more than one-half of the total tonnage of the country for that year. More than 66 per cent of the steamers and 88 per cent of the sailing vessels carried the Argentine flag. The giowth of the foreign shipping of Argentina is shown by the following figures: In 1890, 11,847,424 tons; 1900, 13,364,884 tons; 1904, 18,648,389 tons. The proportion between the oversea trade and the coastwise and river trade will be seen from the following figures for 1904 : Table 11. — Tonnage Movement in the Foreign and Domestic Trade of Argentina in 1904. « STEAM VESSELS.

Domestic trade includes coast\vise and internal river ship- ping. The Government is endeavoring further to increase the steamship sei'vice with European countries by offering advantageous contracts to foreign steamship companies which will undertake to furnish quick and frequent steamship transportation between European and Argentine ports at regular intervals. With the great expansion of the Argentine trade serious difficulties are encountered in accommodating vessels which anlve in the Ar- gentine ports, resulting in great delays in the discharge and unload- ing of the vessels. This is especially true during tlic ' ' rush " seasons, such as the time of the arrival of large consignments of agricultural machinery and implements to l)e used in han^esting the crops, and at the time of the shipments of agricultural products to European countries. It is expected that such difliculties may be overcome in the near future, as preparations are going on for the enlargement of existing dock and wharf facilities at La Plata, Bahia Blanca, and other Argentine ports. Railways. — Argentina has shown from the beginning of its indus- trial development a gi-eater appreciation of and energy in providing adequate railway facilities than any other of the Latin-American countries. In 1905 it had the largest railway mileage of any country in America south of the United States. Most of the railways of Argentina are owned by private companies, but a few lines are owned and operated by the National Government or by some of the provinces. The first railway built in Argentina, in 1854, was 12 miles long. The first extension of the railway lines was directed with a view to connecting Buenos Aires with the other principal porta of the countiy and to opening the rich agricultural and grazing lands of the interior. In 1870 there were 454 miles of railway connecting Buenos Aires and Rosario on the Parana River and Cordoba in the heart of the country. Between 1870 and 1880 the great trunk lines were added, leading north to Tucuman and west to Villa Mercedes, in the province of San Luis. During the following ilccade railroad building broke all records, the mileage in 1890 reaching 5,860 and the entire country being covered by a network of railways radiating from the three great industrial centers on the Parana River — Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, and Rosario. The railway in that yciu- extended as far north as Salta, near the Chilean frontier on the west, reached Mendoza at the foot of the Andes, and also near the Chilean boundary on thesouth, and extended to theseaat Bahia Blanca. The mileage 12 COMMERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. was nearly doubled again in the succeeding decade, aggregating 10,595 miles in 1900, including a southwest extension to Neuqucn and a trans-Andean road connecting Mendoza with Punta de las Vacas. In 1904 the Argentine railway system had a length of 12,000 miles, with 1,529 miles of new lines under construction and contracts signed for 4,595 miles of further railroad extension. The import tariff aims to protect the few commodities which can be produced in Argentina. It divides the imports into eleven classes, nine of which have the following duties: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50, and 25 per cent ad valorem. A duty of 25 per cent ad valorem is levied on all goods not specially enumerated in the tariff and not exempted from duty. The 5 per cent duty is levied on a large number of products, including iron and steel wire, jewelry, electric appliances, plows, crude sulphur, raw cotton and cotton yam, iron in bars, plates, or ingots, tin plate, wool and flax yarn, agricultural machinery, typewriters, motors, and several other products; 40 per cent ad valorem is imposed on all kinds of cloth, leather goods, iron and steel safes, footwear of all kinds, tanned hides and skins, printed matter, furniture, etc.; 50 per cent ad valorem is applied to arms and ammunition , harness, vehicles, and perfumery. The 10 per cent class includes a large number of prod- ucts principally classed under foods, beverages, and tobacco, and some miscellaneous products, all of which are subject to specific duties. The eleventh class includes articles admitted free of duty; among which are animals, coal, iron and steel rails and other equip- ment for steam and electric railways, flour, iron and steel scrap fruits, books, locomotives, reaping and binding machines, thrashing machines worked by steam, machines for sugar refining, for ships, butter making, and several other kinds of machinery, as well as other products. It should be added that the goods subject to ad valorem rates are assigned a certain fixed value in the tariff law, thus making the rates virtually specific. These values are usually revised once a year, thus resulting in annual changes of many of the schedules in the tariff. BOLIVIA. [Area, 729,000 square miles; population in 1904 estimated at 2,180,000.] The total commerce of Bolivia in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $21,926,000, of which 88.931,000 were imports and $12,995,000 exports. Of the imports, 8.4 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports only about .|27,000 worth was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Bolivia show that the imports from that country were |30 in 1890, S22 in 1900, and nothing in 1905 and 1906, while the exports thereto have grown from $11,002 in 1890 to $59,223 in 1900, and $146,798 in 1906, these being fiscal- year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. The commerce of Bolivia, while showing some signs of growth during the last decade, is still insignificant considering the abundant natural resources of the coimtry. The exports averaged $10,782,000 per annum during the period of 1895-1899 and $12,388,000 during 1900-1904, showing an increase of 15 per cent. The imports for the corresponding periods averaged $5,803,000 and §6,683,000, respec- tively, showing an increase of 15 per cent. As compared with these figures, the trade for 1905 shows a material increase, especially as far as exports are concerned. The distribution of the Bolivian export trade can not be determined with any degree of accuracy, owing to the fact that over 90 per cent of that trade is carried on by way of Chilean and Peruvian ports, especially Antofagasta and Mollendo, and the declarations of destination are so imperfect that about 60 per cent of the exports for 1905, and even 80 per cent in 1904, are stated as shipped for 'destination unknown." (See Table 12.) This impairs the value of the data in regard to the remaining share of the exports, and all that may be gathered is that the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, in Europe, and Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, in South America, absorb the greatest share of the exports from Bolivia.

Conversions of the boliviano made at rates furnished by the Director of the Mint, as follows : 1900, 44.8 cents; 1901, 43.2 cents; 1902, 38.2 cents; 1903, 39.2 cents; 1904, 41.9 cents; 1905, 44.1 cents. The figures of imports, which are of greatest importance for the commerce of the United States, are more detailed, as far as the dis- tribution by countries is concerned. (See Table 13.) According to the official figures for 1905, Germany supplied 17.5 per cent of the total imports. Great Britain 16.5 per cent, Peru 11.4 per cent, Chile 12.3 per cent, and the United States 8.4 per cent. It is prob- able that the figures of the imports from the United States are under- estimated, while those for Chile and Peru are overestimated. The statistics of imports into Bolivia are presented in such way as to make their careful analysis very difficult, the data being given separately for each port and by countries, but totals for individual articles are not available either by ports or by countries, or for the total import trade of Bolivia. With some difficulty the total imports of a few most important articles into Bolivia were computed for 1903, the latest year for which such figtires were available, and are shown in Table 14. ^Mieat flour, cotton and woolen goods, alcoholic liquors, sugar, u-on and steel, and dynamite are the most impor- tant articles of import into Boli^da. The cotton goods imported are largely of the cheaper kinds and come mostly from Germany, England, the United States, and Peru. The two adjoining coun- tries. Chile and Peru, supply a considerable proportion of the food- stuffs imported into Bolivia. The dynamite used in the mineral industry comes almost exclusively from Germany.

BRAZIL. [Area, 3,218,130 square miles; population in 1890, 14,333,915.j The total commerce of Brazil in 1906 was $419,801,000, of which imports equaled .$161,587,000 and exports $258,214,000. Of the imports 11.4 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 35.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Brazil show that the imports from that country- decreased from $59,318,756 in 1890 to §58,073.457 in 1900, and increased to $97,881,158 in 1907, and the exports thereto decreased from $11,972,214 in 1890 to $11,578,119 in 1900 and $10,985,096 in 1905, but rose to $18,697,547 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in aU cases, Brazil is the largest country in South America; its total area, 3,218,130 square miles, exceeds by nearly 2.50,000 miles that of the United States excluding Alaska. It lies almost wholly within the Tropics. Its greatest length from north to south is about 2,660 mUes and from east to west about 2,700 miles. . The population is variouly estimated to be from 16 to 20 million people, of which about 2,700,000 are foreigners, including over 1 million Italians, three-quarters of a million Portuguese, and about a quarter of a million Germans. The latest satisfactory census was that of 1890, which showed 14,333,915 people, of which 6,302,000 were whites, 4,638,000 mestizos or half castes, 2,097,000 negroes, and 1,296,000 Indians. The country may be divided, roughly speaking, into three large regions — northern Brazil, central Brazil, and southern Brazil, Northern Brazil, the first section, comprises the region along the Amazon and its tributaries, including the States of Amazonas, Parfi., Maranhao, Piauhy, and part of the States of Matto Grosso and Goyaz. It consists mostly of low lands covered with dense forests, has a tropical climate marked by excessive heat and rainfall, and is but sparsely populated, having not much over 2 million people upon an area of 2,290,000 square miles, or less than 1 person to the square mile. Owing to these conditions there is not much industrial activity, work being largely confined to the utilization of the immense forests, especially the extraction of rubber. Agriculture is developed but slightly, as is the raising of stock, which is carried on mainly to produce hides. Northern Brazil produces about 96 per cent of the rubber exported from the countrj- and 99 per cent of the Brazil nuts, but only 20 per cent of the cocoa, 10 per cent of the cotton, 16 per cent of the dry hides, and 7 per cent of the salt hides which go to make up the export trade of Brazil. Central Brazil, the second section, is smaller in area, but much more populous and more important from an industrial point of view. It has, according to the census of 1890, a population of about 5J millions, and an area of 342,000 square miles, making an average of about 16 persons per square mile. It includes the following States: Ceari, Rio Grande do Norte, Parahyba, Pemambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, and Bahia, all bordering on the Atlantic. Although it is within the Tropics, the average temperature is not so high as in northern Brazil, owing to the high plateau and the mountains which cross a great part of this territory'. For the same reason there is less moisture in the air and in the ground, making the latter more readily available for cultivation. Agriculture, therefore, is thriving to a greater extent than in the north, yielding some of the most valuable products of Brazil, This section furni.shes 96 per cent of the tobacco exports, 97 per cent of the goat and sheep skins, 84 per cent of the cotton, 77 per cent of the cocoa, practically all the sugar, and 70 per cent of the diamonds exported from Brazil, The third or southern section is the most important part of the country, having the largest population, nearly 9 million people according to the census of 1890, di.'^lributed over an area of 584,000 square mil(^>^, and comprising the States of Kf;])irit(> Santo, Rio do Janeiro, Minas Geraes, Sao Paulo, Paranfi. Santa Catharina, Rio Grande do Sul. and the Federal capital. The gieat plateau which traverses it from the north to the .south parallel to the coast dimin- ishes in height as it approaches the south, finally disappearing when it reaches the State of Rio Grande do Sul. This elevation makes the climate of the northern States of this section temperate in spite 14 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. of their location within the Tropics, while the southern States have a temperate climate owang to their location outside of the Tropics. The temperate climate and fertile soil, well drained by numerous rivers, favor abundant crops in this section, whic'h furnishes practi- cally all of the coffee crop of Brazil, amounting to considerably more than one-half of the world 's supply. In addition to the cul- tivation of coffee and yerba mat^, there is also considerable stock breeding, both for slaughter and for the hides. Mining is also carried on to a considerable extent, this section furnishing practi- cally all the gold and manganese exported from Brazil. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. Brazil is believed to be the richest country in minerals in the world. It is estimated that not less than GOO million dollars' worth of gold had been taken out of Brazil previous to 1820. At present the gold mining industry is insignificant, and is only now beginning to be developed, mostly by British companies. In 1900 about 2J million dollars' worth of gold was exported. The country is also rich in diamonds, and has large deposits of iron, lead, copper, zinc, coal, manganese, and quicksilver. It is estimated that since the discovery of diamonds in 1723 fully 100 million dollars' worth of them have been exported from Brazil. In 1905 the total exports of minerals were valued at nearly 5 million dollars. MANUFACTURING. Manufacturing industries are in a backward state owing to scarcity of labor and capital. In recent times some industries have begun to thrive, mostly those for which there is abundant raw material in the country. The most important of these is the textile industry, especially the spinning and weaving of cotton, which is carried on principally in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Geraes, and Sao Paulo. Woolen mills are located in the same region, but are not so important. The development of the textile industry has re- sulted in a considerable reduction of the import trade in cotton goods, especially the cheaper varieties. The next important in- dustry is that of sugar refining. Another industry to which the Brazilian manufacturers are turning their attention is the manu- facture of leather goods in all branches, from the working of hides to the final leather products. With the growth of the mining in- dustry, smelting works, foundries, and various metal products are increasing. With the increasing immigration of skilled Europeans and the growing investments of European capital there is an in- creasing number of industrial establishments which manufacture products such as paper, glass, wines, beer, cotton-seed oil, matches, sulphuric acid, soap, candles, and other products required for con- sumption in the country. COMMERCE. Owing to the differences in climate and in the industrial resources of the various parts of the vast country, their respective wants differ, resulting in a considerable differentiation of the import trade. The States in the northern section (which is the nearest to the United States and the only part of Brazil which can be reached in less time from the United States than from Europe) take more freely of our manufactured products than do the States lying at the south, and offer an attractive field for American exports of flour, cheap cotton goods, hardware, provisions, etc. The southern sections are less favorable to the export trade of the United States, being no nearer to us than they are to the principal European markets. Owing to the growth of domestic industries they offer less opportunity for textiles, but on the other hand are developing a market for all kinds of iron and steel products, especially machinery, implements, and tools, and in all of these lines the United States has a growing trade. The course of trade of Brazil with foreign countries is indicated in the two tables (17 and 20) which follow for the years 1901 to 1906. In these tables the countries are arranged in the order of decreasing magnitude of their trade in 1906. The United Kingdom is found to have undisputed possession of the first place among the countries supplying the Brazilian markets. Germany, though holding the second place, did not send in 1906 much more than one-half the quantity which came from the United Kingdom, but the imports from Germany are evidently growing much more rapidly, since only five years ago Germany contributed less than one-third as much as the United Kingdom. Within these five years the imports from the United Kingdom have increased about 50 per cent and those from Germany about 150 per cent. The United States and Argentina are contending for the third place, the imports from Argentina exceeding those from the United States in 1905, while in the other four years beginnkig with 1902 their relative positions were reversed. The fifth and sixth places belong to France and Portugal, respectively. In gen- eral it may be said that Brazil draws its imports from a mder range of countries than many other Latin-American Republics, since the six countries mentioned contribute only 80 per cent of the imports, and considerable quantities are imported from other European, American, and Asiatic countries.

IMPORTS INTO BRAZIL. The nature of the imports into Brazil for the five years 1901 to 1905 is shown at some length in Table 18. Food products and bever- ages seem to constitute the most important and rapidly growing share of this import trade. Thus within this short period the amount of wheat imported has almost doubled and its value in- creased from 83,787,000 in 1901 to 86,811,000 in 1905, while the imports of flour have remained stationar^^ They amounted in 1905 to 1,580,000 barrels, worth §7,969,000. The rapid growth, in the imports of wheat without a correspcyiding growth in the imports of flour indicates the rapid development of the milling industry in Brazil, due to the high protection accorded to the domestic product. Of other cereals imported, the most important is rice, though the imports of this article have declined from 223 million pounds, worth §4,444,000 in 1902, to 129 million pounds, worth 82,846,000, in 1905. The imports of meat products are ver>' large, exceeding 9 million dollars in 1905. These consist mainly of the very cheap article known as jerked beef, which amounted to 115 million pounds, worth §8,325,000. Finally, the imports of wines grew very rapidly from §5,311,000 lq 1901 to §6,755,000 in 1902, §7.430,000 in 1903, $7,982,000 in 1904, and §8,678,000 in 1905, haAdng increased almost 64 per cent within four years. The imports of codfish also increased within the same period from §2,865,000 to $3,847,000. Another veiy important class of imports is represented by textiles. The imports of cotton and cotton manufactures alone increased from 9 million dollars in 1901 to 19 million dollars in 1905, consisting of large quantities of bleached, printed, and dyed cloths, and wearing apparel, while the imports of unbleached cloths were very small. COMMERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. 15 The figures quoted indicate a very rapidly growing market for cotton goods in Brazil. On the other hand, the imports of cotton yam and thread actually decreased from 9,200,000 pounds in 1903 to 6,200,000 pounds in 1904 and 4,800,000 pounds in 1905, being in the latter year very little greater than they had been in 1901, so that the competition of the domestic product with the imported goods does not seem to be very strong. The imports of woolen goods are not so great, but show an equally rapid growth, the imports of cloths alone representing in 1901 a value of .$1,286,000 and in 1905 $2,333,000. An entirely different aspect of the economic life of Brazil is indi- cated by the data of imports of raw materials, mainly coal, mineral oil, and iron. AMiile the value of the coal imported in 1905 was a Uttle less than in 1901, §6,353,000 as against $6,414,000, the actual quantity of coal imported increased from 793,000 tons to Table 18. — Imports (Including Bullion and Specie) into Brazil, 1901-1905, by Articles. 1901 Animals: ^*"'® {l,066 dolls!

The imports of iron show an increase even more remarkable. In 1901 they amounted to $9,765,000 and in 1905 to $21,181,000; that is, in four years the increase was over 117 per cent. The imports of machinery increased from §5,197)000 to $8,889,000; of rails, from a little over a million to §2,050,000; steel wire, from half a million to over a million dollars; and various iron manufactures from less than 2 million dollars to nearly 6 million dollars. This rapid growth in the coal, iron, and steel imports must be looked upon as a fair measure of the beginning of the industrial development of this large South American Republic. As no official statistics of foreign trade were compiled in Brazil before 1901, figures of its imi:)orts and exports previous to that year had to be compiled from the returns of countries exporting to and importing from Brazil, and these are given on page 115, in the statistical appendix. These data indicate that the increase of im- ports into Brazil within the last five-year period, shown in Tables 18 and 19, represents a rapid recovery from the marked depression of imports during the end of the last and the beginning of the current centuiy. The exports from the United States to Brazil in 1906, though 3.5 million dollars greater than during the preceding year, were smaller than those in 1895, when the decline of trade began. The exports from the United Kingdom to Brazil in 1891 were nearly 42 million dollars, and then gradually declined to 34 million dollars in 1896, and 27 million dollars in 1899, reaching the bottom figure of less than 22 million dollars in 1901, after which a rapid recovery brought the figure back to 39 million dollars in 1906. During the same period the exports from France to Brazil fell still lower, from 23.4 million dollars in 1891 to 8 million dollars in 1902 and 12 million dollars in 1905. A computation of average annual exports to Brazil from the ten countries with which Brazil mainly trades, and imports into those countries from Brazil, is made in Table 19. An addition of the data for these ten countries combined gives substantially the total foreign trade of Brazil. Notwithstanding the increased trade of the most recent years, the average annual exports from the ten countries to Brazil (which represent the bulk of the imports into Brazil) for the period 1901 to 1905 were about 5 per cent smaller than during 1896 to 1900, while exports during which period were 22 per cent smaller than during 1891 to 1895.

In the last period further declines took place in the exports from France, the United Kingdom, United States, Portugal, and Uruguay. On the other hand, the imports into these ten countries from Brazil, representing substantially the exports from Brazil, though also declining somewhat during the period 1896 to 1900, increased rapidly during the last five years, even over the volume of like imports for 1891-1895. EXPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO BRAZIL. The export trade of the United States with Brazil has not suffered in total value as much as the exports of some other countries; the lowest figures were .$10,391,000 in 1902, or 68.5 per cent of the high- est figures (§15,165,000, in 1895), while the exports from the United Kingdom and from Germany to Brazil fell off more than one-half, and those from France were in 1902 little more than one-third of the exports in 1894. But while the total volume of trade remained more or less uniform, the character of the exports changed considerably. In 1892 the following seven articles constituted more than three- fourths of the total exports from the United States to Brazil: Wheat flour, §4,972,539; mineral oil, refined, §1,281,791; locomotives, §976,959; lumber, §567,834; bacon, §576,195; steam railway cars, §941,061; lard, §549,921. The exports of five of these seven articles have fallen off considerably during the last ten or fifteen years. The exports of wheat flour, declining constantly, amounted in the fiscal year 1906 to only $1,211,881, or less than one-fourth of the exports of fourteen years ago, and showed but a slight increase in 1907. The exports of bacon reached the highest point in 1895, amounting to $1,998,394, and fell off rapidly to only $77,021 in 1905, but they increased somewhat in later years, namely, to $203,140 in 1907. In other words, the exports of provisions and foodstuff products from this country to Brazil have fallen off considerably, the only notable exception being lard. Another class of exports showing a still more rapid decline is rail- way materials. The exports of steam railway cars declined from the high-water mark of §1,279,578 in 1894 to less than $10,000 in 1905; the exports of locomotives from $1,648,758 in 1895 to less than §50,000 in 1901, since when a gradual increase brought the exports up to §581,411 in 1907. The exports of cotton manufactures and of lumber also declined in the middle of this period, but greatly recovered in the more recent years. On the other hand, the exports of refined mineral oils rapidly increased from §944,427 in 1894 to $2,960,438 in 1907, and other articles showing increased exports are bituminous coal, scientific instruments, electrical apparatus, and various iron and steel products, such as wire, builders' hardware, machinery, etc. Exclusive of locomotives, the exports of iron and steel products to Brazil in 1892 amounted to §1,202,000, in 1900 to §1,775,000, and in 1906 to §3,525,000. These changes in the exports from the United States to Brazil seem to indicate a rapid development in Brazil of a market for fuel, raw materials, and machinery, due to the gradual industrialization of that country. TRADE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM WITH BRAZIL. The same tendency is marked in the development of the trade of the United Kingdom with Brazil. The exports of the United Kingdom to this South American country consist mainly of metals (primarily manufactures of iron and steel), fuel, and textiles. Of the total exports of domestic products of §38,501,000 in 1892, cotton goods amounted to §16,336,000, or 42.5 per cent, coal to $2,738,000, iron and steel and manufactures of, exclusive of machinery, to $4,708,000, machinery to §3,714,000, woolens to §2,001,000, and jute and linen manufactures to §1,413,000; together these few items represented a value of $30,910,000, or 80 per cent of the total trade. These are still the main articles exported from the United Kingdom COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 17 to Brazil, yet considerable changes have taken place. WTien the total exports reached the bottom level, in 1901, the exports of tex- tiles suffered most, cotton goods declining to $5,224,000, or less than one-third, and woolen goods to $695,000, also less than one-third. Within the last five-year period these exports have increased, but have not reached the old level, cotton goods amounting to $10,797,- 000 and woolen goods to $1,181,000. The exports of jute piece goods decreased from $742,000 in 1892 to $317,000 in 1897, $93,000 in 1902, and only $29,000 in 1906, while exports of jute yarn for use in the textile factories of Brazil increased from 5 million pounds in 1892 to 31 million pounds in 1906, or, in value, from $273,000 to $2,533,000. Coal exports increased from 826,313 tons in 1892, worth $2,738,000, to 1,261,644 tons, worth $4,390,000 in 1906. Other articles showing considerable increases are machinery, imple- ments and tools, copper, ships, and boats. EXPORTS OF BRAZIL. While the exports of Brazil, consisting as they do of large quanti- ties of a verj^ limited number of articles, are distributed over a wide range of countries, four countries, the largest consumers of coffee and rubber, receive by far the greatest share of Brazilian products. The United States, being the largest consumer of coffee, heads the list and claims a very large proportion of the entire exports, 43 per cent in 1901 and 35 per cent in 1906. The exports to Ger- many constituted in 1906 17.6 per cent, to the United Kingdom 16.1 per cent, and to France 12.2 per cent. The exports to Argen- tina, Netherlands, and Austria-Hungary equaled about 9 million dollars for each country, and altogether the seven countries named absorbed over 92 per cent of the Brazilian exports.

Coffee, as is well known, constitutes the principal export of Brazil, amounting to about one-half of the total in some years and even considerably more than one-half in others, as in 1901 and 1902. (See Table 22.) Other important exports are rubber, tobacco, hides and skins, cocoa, yerba mate, sugar, gold, and diamonds. In 1905 the exports of coffee amounted to 104 million dollars, or 48 per cent of the total; rubber to 70 million dollars, or 32 per cent; hides and skins to 9 million dollars, or 4 per cent; yerba mate 32277—08 2 to 6 million dollars, or a little less than 3 per cent, and cocoaand raw cotton to over 5 million dollars, or 2| per cent, each. These six articles constituted 92 per cent of the total exports in 1905. Of the other articles of secondary importance may be mentioned bran, Brazil nuts, manganese ore, raw sugar, and leaf tobacco. Since the official figures of the Brazilian Government do not go back of 1901, thorough comparisons are difficult, for considerable fluctua- tions have occurred in the exports of individual articles, but no great changes as a whole. The exports of coffee seem to have de- clined in quantity from' nearly 15 million bags in 1901 to 11 million bags in 1905, and those of raw sugar fell off considerably more — from 370 million pounds in 1901 to 75 million pounds in 1905. The exports of leaf tobacco have also shown a marked tendency to decline, while the exports of cotton in 1905 were greater than in 1904 but much smaller than in 1902 and 1903; on the whole the excess of exports in 1905 over those of 1904 seems to have been due to a rise in prices (mainly of india rubber) rather than to an actual increase of exports. For a few articles a much more complete record of exports from Brazil exists. The following table, compiled from the work of Dr. Vieira Soulo, professor of political economy at the Polytechnic School at Rio de Janeiro, on international commerce, navigation, and the finances of Brazil, shows the development of the exports of coffee, cotton, sugar, tobacco, india rubber, ancj hides and skins, the main products of Brazil,- by a comparison of the average annual exports for three five-year periods — 1840-1844, 1870-1874, and 1901-1905: Table 21. -Average Annual Exports from Brazil, 1840-1844, 1870-1874, and 1901-1905.

On the other hand, the exports of cotton have fallen off, due to the utilization of this article by the domestic spinning and weaving industry, and the exports of sugar have also decreased, due in part to the increased domestic consumption. EXCHANGE. One of the disturbing factors in the foreign trade of Brazil is the unstable currency, resulting from the flood of irredeemable paper money issued in the past. The value of the gold milreis, which is the standard of money in Brazil, is 54.6 cents; the paper milreis has fluctuated all the way from par in 1889 to less than 12 cents in 1899. Since then the value of the paper milreis has been gradually improving and was as high as 31.9 cents last year. In 1907 the average value was 30.6 cents. These fluctuations of the paj)er money, which is practically the sole medium of circulation, bring in an unhealthy element of speculation in the import and export transactions of the importers and native producers. This is intensi- fied by the fact that the retail prices remain about the same, as they are mostly quoted in terms of paper money. It also affects the customs duties paid by importers of foreign merchandise, since the greater part of the duties is payable in paper money. 18 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907.

Water transportation.— The shipping facilities of Brazil are very good, but are })etter calculated to accommodate her trade with European countries than with the United States. Most of the oceanic lines are in the hands of the English, though German com- panies have been constantly increasing lines of direct steamship communication with Brazil. A French company has also one of the largest lines plying regularly between ports of France and Brazil. According to Mr. Hutchinson's report, " the European serv- ice "is carried on by large and fast steamers, thoroughly equipped in every way for freight, passenger, and mail business, running on accurate schedule time, and giving regular communication between Brazil and Europe, in each direction, at least six times per month; while the steamers from the United States are small and slow, have only inferior accommodation for passengers, and, with the exception of a single sailing each month (the Lamport & Holt Line), are more or less irregular as to time of departure and arrival." In freight rates there is very little difference as between goods car- ried from the United States or European countries. On a large num- ber of products a reduction from the regular freight rates is allowed if shipped in sufficiently large quantities (from 1 to 400 tons) by one steamer on one bill of lading. Since Europe ships greater quantities of these products than the United States and since the custom of com- bining many small shipments into one through the agency of an ex- port commission house is much more in vogue in Europe than in the United States, the Europeans get to that extent somewhat more favorable rates than the United States. The difference, however, in most cases, amounts to about 60 cents per ton, which is not suffi- ciently large to be of material consequence in deflecting trade from one channel to another. The chief advantage of the European countries as regards shipping facilities lies, in the opinion of ^Ir. Hutchinson, in the frequency and regularity of the sailings of Euro- pean lines. The following table was compiled by Mr. Hutchinson from consular invoices and other official sources to get a comparison of the cost of carrying goods from the United States and our chief European competitors: Table 23. — Cost of Getting Specified Goods from the Port OF Shipment to the Custom-House in Brazil, Expressed in Percentage of their Value.

The high moun- tains rising abruptly within a short distance from the coast make communication with the interior exceedingly difficult, and the construction of railroads has been greatly hampered and delayed by these physical obstacles, as well as by the sparsity of population, which does not promise sufficient returns for the construction of costly roadbeds. As a result, the railroads of Brazil consist of many short and separate lines running from the various ports a compara- tively short distance into the interior. a Report on Trade Conditions in Brazil, by Lincoln Hutchinson. Washing- ton, 1906. COMMERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. 19 Of late years efforts have been made to connect the various lines 'so as to bring them into a unified system from north to south. Roughly, the railroads of the country may be divided into three sections — north, middle, and south — although, to be more exact, they may be grouped untler five heads, according to the principal centers from which they radiate. Beginning at the extreme north and taking them in their order southward the following railway systems may be enumerated: (1) Radiating from Pernambuco; (2) Bahia; (3) central Brazil; (4) Rio Grande do Sul; (5) various isolated lines. As regards ownership and management, the railways of Brazil may be divided into three groups: Those owned and operated by the Government, about 1,000 miles; those owned by the Govern- ment and leased to private companies, about 1,400 miles, and those owned and operated by private companies, about 3,200 miles. The Brazilian tariff is highly protective, high duties being levied on every product which, in the opinion of the Brazilian people, can be produced at home. Many commodities which can not be pro- duced in Brazil and which are important in the consumption of the people are also taxed by high duties in order to provide a revenue for the Government. Among these are wheat and petroleum. Among the few products admitted free of duty are dry and stuffed animals for museums, manures, eggs, trees, plants, and seeds im- ported for gardens, coal, broken glass, gold, silver, platiniun in bar or dust, and agricultural implements. By special arrangements, however, machinery, implements, and other articles necessary for the equipment of plants in newly established industries are being admitted free at the discretion of the Executive, the Government being anxious to attract foreign capitalists and build up industries in the country. The tariff is revised once a year along with the budget. The duties are mostly specific. Although the tariff is very long, containing more than 1,000 schedules, which enumer- ate between three and four thousand articles, provision is made for unenumerated articles, which are to be ratejl as similar articles mentioned in the tariff, or at 50 per cent ad valorem if no analogous article can be found in the tariff. In addition to the tariff rates proper tliere are numerous otjier taxes, such as port dues, custom-house fees, tonnage charges, etc., so that even articles nominally admitted free of duty pay something like 15 per cent ad valorem in fees of all kinds. Previously duties were paid in paper money. Later provision was made for a small percentage of the duties to be paid in gold, which was gradually increased to 25 per cent. By the law which went into effect January 1, 1906, 35 per cent of tlie duties is payable in gold and the balance in paper, and on a considerable number of articles .50 per cent is payable in gold. The recent rise in the value of the paper milreis has resulted automatically in a further increase of the duty to the extent of about 25 per cent. By a recent order of the Brazilian Government a reduction of 20 per cent from the duties is granted to the following products coming from the United States: Manufactures of rubber, dyes, varnishes, clocks, condensed milk, windmills, air motors, electric machinery, firearms, carriages and buggies, drugs and druggists' supplies, glassware (tlie fair grades), hardware, launches, yachts, dredges, lubricating oils, medicinal preparations, paper and manufactures thereof, pianos, railroad mate- rial, scales, surgical instruments and appliances, toilet soap, type- writers, preserved fruits, Portland cement, manufactures of iron and steel, apples, men's ready-made c-lothes, suitings, etc., and cutlery.

Omitting gold and silver, the trade amounted to $512,643,000, of which $283,282,000 represented imports for consumption and $229,361,000 exports Ijoth domestic and foreign. Of the imports of merchandise for consumption GO. 6 per cent came from the United States, and of the exports 38.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Canada show that the imports from that country have grown from $39,042,977 in 1890 and $39, 369,074 in 1900 to $73,334,615 in 1907, and the exports thereto from $40,282,108 in 1890 to $95,319,970 in 1900 and $183,206,067 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. The Dominion of Canada comprises the northern half of North America with the exception of Ala.ska, Greenland, Labrador, and Newfoundland, which colony still continues its separate existence, not having joined the Canadian Confederation.

The distribution of the imports and exports of Canada, by countries as well as by articles, for the last sixteen years is shown in some detail on pages 73, 74, and 80 to 89. While the list of countries to which Canada sends its surplus products and from which greater or smaller quantities of goods are imported into Canada is a very long one, yet it is disclosed at a glance that two countries, namely, the United States and the United Kingdom, absorb most of the trade of the Dominion. In 1906 the imports from these two countries amounted to 84 per cent of the total imports and the exports to them amounted to 89 per cent of the total exports. In the case of imports the United States not only occupies the first position, but sells to Can- ada a great deal more than all the other countries combined — in fact, almost 00 per cent of the total — while the United Kingdom supplies about 25 per cent. The reverse is true of domestic ex- ports, in which the respective shares of the two countries are 58 per cent for the United Kingdom and 3Q per cent for the United States. The conditions of commerce between Canada and the two countries named therefore deserve more detailed treatment, which is given in subsequent pages. Of all the other countries, only France and Germany and a few British colonies claim any consid- erable share of the commerce of Canada, imports from France in 1906 being over 7i million dollars and from Germany almost 7 million dollars. The imports from France seem to have grown con- siderably during the last decade, but the growth practically stopped about 1902, while the imports from Germany rapidly grew until 1903, since which time they have also declined, though in the distribution of the exports of Canada even these countries play a very insignificant role, Newfoundland being in 1900 the only country outside the mother country and the United States which took more than 3 million dollars' worth of Canadian produce.

It is true that the exports of manufactures from Canada have been rapidly growing, increasing from about 2.6 million dollars in 1870 to more than 5.7 millions in 1890, 14.2 mil- lions in 1900, and 24.0 milliops in 1900, or over 113 per cent within thirty-five years. Still, manufactures do not represent much more than 10 per cent of the total. exports from Canada, and the remaining 90 per cent consists almost exclusively of raw, or, at most, slightly manufactured, products of the mine, fishery, forest, animal industry, and agriculture. The exports of agricultural prod- ucts in 1906 reached the unusually large sum of 54 million dollars, but this was an extraordinary year, and the large quantity was due both to good harvests and to high prices of agricultural commodities, mainly wheat. About two-thirds of this was destined to the United Kingdom and the remainder divided nearly equally between the United States on the one hand and all other countries on the other. The exports of animals and animal products have shown a persistent and rapid increase, reaching 66.5 million dollars in 1906 as against 34.4 millions in 1895 and 17.6 millions in 1880. Almost nine-tenths of these exports ' of animals and animal products are sold in the British market. A more even distribution took place in the fish exports. Of the forest products exported the United States receives about one-half of the total and most of the remainder goes to the United Kingdom, but in the exports of mineral /products the United States occupies a position no less prominent than does the British market in the purchase of animal products. Canada, therefore, is seen to be a very important source Table 28. — Imports (Exclusive of Bullion and Specie) into Canada, 1901-1900, by Classes. YEARS ENDED JUNE 30— Agri- cul- tural prod- ucts.

As is seen from the detailed tables, the main articles of export consist of wheat and wheat flour, cattle, bacon and other meats, large quantities of cheese and butter, dried cod, canned lobsters, salmon and other fish, coal, copper ore, gold-bearing quartz, etc. Since many of these articles play an important part in the exports from the United States, Canada might be considered a serious competitor of the United States in the field of international commerce, but a study of imports into Canada will show that simultaneously with this development of the agricultural and other natural possibilities of Canada a very important market for manufactured articles of all kinds is rapidly developing, in which market American goods have acquired a strong position, for in fifteen years imports into Canada from the United States have increased from 50 to almost 170 million dollars. A vast variety of manufactured and other articles is imported, as may be seen from the long list on pages 86 et seq . To enumerate only the most important ones , Canada is bujing, 'very large quantities of anthracite and bituminous coal, millions of pounds of raw cotton, and also many millions of dollars' worth of cotton cloths; iron and iron manufactures, mainly machinery; silk, wool, and other textiles; more than 10 million dollars' worth of sugar, and hundreds of other articles in smaller quantities. As is shown in Table 28, the greatest share of the imports into Canada consists of manufactured articles, which constituted 05.3 per cent of the total imports for consumption in 1901 and 65.8 per cent in 1905. COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 21 PROGRESS OF CANADIAN TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM. The progress of Canadian trade with the United States and the United Kingdom reveals peculiarities deserving of notice. A com- parison of the Canadian figures of imports for consumption for the years beginning with 1873 with those of more recent years shows that the relative importance of the mother countiy as a purveyor of goods to the Dominion has considerably decreased. The share of the United Kingdom in the total import trade of the Dominion was in 1873 nearly 54 per cent; in 1885 it was only a little over 40 per cent; in 1895 this share declined to less than 30 per cent, and in 1897 to 26.1 percent. In 1897 products from the United Kingdom entering the Dominion of Canada were admitted, by special arrangement, at a reduction of 12§ per cent below the tariff on imports from other countries. On August 1, 1898, the reduction in favor of British products was increased to 25 per cent, and on July 1, 1900, to 33J per cent. This preferential tariff legislation since 1897 in favor of the United Kingdom was followed by a considerable increase of imports from that countrj', the import figures for 1906 being more than double those for 1897, viz, $69,194,000, against $29,412,000. During the same period the total imports, however, increased even at a greater rate, so that in 1906 the relative share of the United Kingdom in the total import trade of the Dominion had decreased to 23.8 per cent. The export trade of the Dominion with the United Kingdom shows a different development. There was an absolute growth of exports to the mother country from $38,740,000 in 1873 to $131,202,000 in 1903, or 238.6 per cent; in 1904 the exports declined to I17h millions, and in 1905 a further decline to less than 102 million dollars took place; but in 1906 the exports to the mother country reached their high-water mark of over 133 million dollars. While in 1873 43.6 per cent of the total exports were to the mother country, this share was 52.1 per cent in 1880, 56.1 per cent in 1900, and 51.9 per cent in 1906. The trade with the United States for the same period shows a larger growth, though the gains were smaller on the export side. Thus the increase of the imports into Canada from the United States between 1873 and 1906, from $47,736,000 to $175,862,000, amounts to nearly 268 per cent, while the exports from the Dominion to the United States for the same years shows an increase from $42,073,000 to $97,807,000, or 132 per cent — i. e., less than one-half the rate of increase of imports into Canada. Of the total imports for consump- tion the share from the United States constituted 37.4 per cent in 1873, 40.9 per cent in 1880, 46.4 per cent in 1890, 60.7 per cent in 1900, and 60.6 per cent in 1906, whereas of the total exports the shares sent to the United States during the same years were 46.9 per cent, 37.9 per cent, 41.9 per cent, 35.7 per cent, and 38.1 per cent, respectively.

The dutiable imports into the Dominion from the United King- dom for the same period show an increase of about 116 per cent, while the total imports from that country increased almost 110 per cent. In other words, notwithstanding preferential treatment, the rate of increase in the imports of British dutiable goods into Canada was smaller than the rate of increase in the imports of American dutiable goods. [The entire subject of the trade of Canada with the United States and the United Kingdom, was treated at length in a special study by the Bureau of Statistics entitled "Trade of the United States with the Dominion of Canada" and published in the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance for June, 1904, which may be obtained on application to the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Com- merce and Labor.] CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS. [Area, 198,170 square miles; population, 4,488,000.] The total commerce of the Central American Republics during the latest years for which statistics are available a'mounted to $58,934,000, of which imports equaled $27,063,000 and exports $31,871,000. Of the imports $13,357,000, or 49.4 per cent, came from the United States, and of the exports $14,481,000, or 54.4 per cent, was sent to the -United States. On the other hand, the re- ports of the foreign commerce of the United States show that the imports from Central America have grown from $8,052,444 in 1890 to $8,630,554 in 1900 "and $15,085,795 in 1907; and the exports thereto from $5,296,478 in 1890 to $5,926,579 in 1900 and $26,830,136 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. « COSTA RICA. [Area, 18,400 square miles; population in 1903, 322,618.] The total commerce of Costa Pvica in 1906 was $16,081,000, of which $7,278,000 were imports and $8,803,000 exports. Of the im- ports 54.5 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 47.4 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Costa Rica show that the imports therefrom have grown from $1,676,711 in 1890 to $2,980,030 in 1900 and $4,965,034 in 1907, and the ex- ports thereto from $1,126,170 in 1890 to $1,462,355 in 1900 and $2,470,986 in 1907. • COMMERCE. The total imports and exports of Costa Rica from 1883 to 1906 are shown on page 67. In the decade 1883 to 1893 the imports were almost invariably greatly in excess of the exports, l>ut this relation has been completely reversed since 1894, the exports of merchandise in 1904 having been $780,000 in excess of the imports. In 1903 the excess of exports was even greater, namely, $2,370,000. In Table 34 is shown the geographic distribution of the for- eign trade of Costa Rica. In lioth its exports and imports the United States occupies at present the most important position, contributing more than half of its imports and taking nearly half of its exports. Of the other countries from which the imports into Costa Rica are derived, the most important ones are the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, British goods constituting approximately one-fifth to one-fourth of the total imports, while Germany contributes from 10 to 15 per cent annually. In the ex- port trade the United Kingdom has until recently represented the most important market for Costa Rican goods, taking both in 1903 and 1904, 49 per cent, while the United States claimed in these two years 42 per cent. Since 1905, however, the respective positions of these two countries have been reversed, the exports to the United States showing a much more rapid development. To- gether these two countries take more than 92 per cent of the total exports, the only other countries of any importance in the export trade being Germany and France. It is characteristic that the trade of Costa Rica with other Latin-American countries is insig- nificant, which is probably due to the similarity of their products.

The exports by main articles for the years 1895 to 1906 are shown in Table 35. The exports, especially in the last year, consist almost wholly of coffee and bananas.

In. 1895 the banana exports were $628,009, or about one- seventh of those of coffee ($4,320,712). In 1905 banana exports were valued at $3,641,501, or nearly equal to those of coffee ($3,771,033). In 1906 the exports of bananas amounted to .$4,436,317, showing an increase of almost $800,000 in one year, and exceeded those of coffee by over a million dollars. The low figure for coffee in 1904 (.$3,082,972) can not be regarded as normal, being due to unusually bad crops; in 1903 the total export ($4,229,158) was very close to the former maximum; on the whole there is an evident decline. The growth in banana exports, on the other hand, is continuous. Table 35. — Exports of Costa Rica, 1895-1906, by Articles. « and Italy.

Up to the end of 1902 bananas were practically all shipped to the United States. In 1903 tho United Frait Company sent 650,000 bunches to the United Kingdom, and the experiment was so suc- cessful that in 1904 the shipments were increased to 1,299, 500bunches, in 1905 to 2,237,779 bunches, and in 1906 to 2,680,832 bunches, or 30 per cent of the total quantity exported. Nearly three-fourths of the coffee goes to the United Kingdom.

The principal imports for the years 1903 to 1906, inclusive, are shown by articles in Table 38. The most important article was materials for rail- ways and street cars, amounting to $1,275,600, or over one-sixth of the total imports; of this material 85 per cent came from the United States. Next followed cotton cloths, valued at $963,400, or one- eighth of the total ; of this the United Kingdom contributed 40 per cent, the United States 27 per cent, and Germany 14 per cent. The next item in order of importance is wheat flour, $349,200, all from the United States. Cattle imports, valued at $220,700 in 1905, but only $46,600 in 1906, were all from Spanish America. More than half of the woolen-cloth imports came from the United King- dom, one-fourth from Germany, and one-eighth from France. Im- ports of iron and manufactures thereof, exclusi^-e of railway mate- rials, amounted to $1,881,900, of which the United Kingdom fur- nished more than one-third, the United States one-fourth, and Germany a little more than one-fourth. Of this, machinery was imported in 1906 to the value of $164,600, of which the United States furnished more than three-fourths. Of the total rice im- ports, amounting to $109,700, nearly one-half came from Germany. Nearly half the drugs and medicines imported came fi-om the United States, the remainder in almost equal amounts from the United Kingdom, France, and Germanj-. More than half the tobacco im- ported came from the United States and about one-fourth from the United Kingdom. Of the wine imported, 53 per cent came from France and 41 per cent from Spain. Of leather and manu- factures thereof imported , more than half came from the United States and about one-third from Germany. Among articles of minor importance imported, the following are furnished exclusively or almost exclusively by the United States: Steam boilers, salt pork, iron cisterns, djmamite, gasoline, corn, peanuts, sugar mills, grain-milling and rice-milling machinery, candle-making machinery, dairy apparatus, lumber-sawing ma- chinery, windmills, mules, precious stones, rosin, tallow, wheat, bicycles, boots and shoes, salt beef, wagons and accessories, corn meal, manlla rope, lumber, lard; sewing machines, typewriters, shoemaking machinery, electric appliances, street-car material, agricultural implement.-*, petroleum, powder, and saws. Gold specie was imported in 1906 to the value of $624,613, of which $518,000 was coin and $10(),(;13 United States notes, equiva- lent to gold. What amount of this was imported by the United Fruit Coinpaiiy for the payment of its employees and other ex- penses is not statey United Fruit Company 77,000 Total 517,965 The export.s of gold in 1906 were $43,242, leaving a gain of $561 ,369 of gold and United States notes, equivalent to goUi in circulation. 24 COIvlMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. TARTFF. The Costa Rican tariff consists of a little over one hundred sched- ules providing for specific rates on various products, divided into ten groups. By decree of June 14, 1901, a surtax of 15 per cent on the customs duties was established, and a permanent commission created for the preparation of a new tariff in which "articles of luxury and such manufactures as are capable of being turned out in the country shall be liable to the highest import duties, the min- imum rates being applied to goods of primary necessity for con- sumption and to raw materials required for supplying and develop- ing native industries." This commission has been recommending from time to time changes in the tariff, which are being enacted. In addition to the regular rates, wliarfage dues and port charges are also levied.

The total exports of coffee are found to have been decreasing during the last few years. The table somewhat exaggerates this decline, inasmuch as the German sources from which the data for 1902 and 1904 are taken discount 20 per cent of the weight of the unshelled beans, while the figures for 1896 to 1901 represent the gross weight. But even the gross weight of the coffee exported in 1904 was only 64,766,000 pounds, against 84,194,000 pounds in 1899. ■\\liile Germany remains the main market for Guatemalan coffee, taking 55 per cent in 1906, the share shipped to the United States has shown a constant increase, from 17.4 per cent in 1896 to 29.6 per cent in 1904. tariff. The tariff of Guatemala contains 3,000 schedules, providing specific rates for various imports. Additional surtaxes and charges are levied similar to those levied in other Spanish-American countries. HONDURAS. [Area, 45,000 square miles; population in 1901, 544,000.] The total commerce of Honduras in 1906 was $5,392,000, of which $2,512,000 were imports and $2,880,000 exports. Of the imports 63.1 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the cxporta 87.2 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Honduras show that the imports therefrom have grown from $984,404 in 1890 to $988,606 in 1900 and $2,296,556 in 1907, and the exports thereto from .$552,024 in 1890 to $1,181,453 in 1900 and $1,833,056 in 1907. commerce. The imports and exports of Honduras during the last eight fiscal years are shown in Table 47, compiled from various foreign sources because of the unsatisfactory condition of the commercial statistics of Honduras: Table 47. — Commerce of Honduras, 1899-1906. « YEARS.*' Imports.

While the foreign trade of this Republic is not ver>' great, it has shown a healthy growth within the last few years. The steady increase both in exports and imports since 1899 was interrupted by a decline in the fiscal year 1902-3, due to internal disorders, but this has been followed by a rapid rise in exports and a still greater rise in imports, so that the trade is now more than double that of 1899. The distribution both of the import and export trade by countries is shown in Table 48.

COMMERCIAL AIHERICA IN 1907. 27 The United States is far ahead of all other countries both in the imports and exports, her share in 1906 being about two-thirds of the imports and almost seven-eighths of the exports. It absorbs an increasing share of the exported products of Honduras, since in 1903 only 74 per cent of the total exports were consigned to the United States. The main competitors of the United States in the markets of Honduras, the United Kingdom and Germany, contributed in 1906 only a little over 10 per cent each, and France only 4 per cent, of the imports. As a market for the exports of Honduras, Cuba was quite important, taking in 1904 about 15 per cent, but the exports to Cuba rapidly fell to 7 per cent in 1905 and to less than 3 per cent in 1906, while the exports to Germany have materially increased, from less than 1 per cent in 1903 to almost 5 per cent in 1906. In Table 49 the nature of the exports from Honduras is shown, as far it was possible to obtain the information, mainly from the reports of the British consular agents, for the eight years ended in 1906. Bananas are seen to constitute the main article of export, consti- tuting nearly 40 per cent of the total. Nearly all of the bananas ex- ported go to the United States. A few other agricultural products are exported, though in much smaller quantities, namely cocoanuts, rubber, and mahogany and cedar woods, but amounting together in the fiscal year 1906 to less than §200,000. The articles next in importance to bananas are silver in bars, and various ores of the precious metals. Especially rapid has been the increase in the exports of the ores, from less than i520,000 in 1899 to over §800,000 in 1906, while the exports of silver bars have not shown a cor- responding increase. Some live stock is exported, mainly to Cuba and to the neighboring Central American States. T.\BLE 49. — Exports from Hondur.\s, Pisc.\l Years 1899-1906, BY Principal Articles.

Honduras does not publish detailed statistics of her import trade by articles, and the following data are therefore based on the export .statistics of the three most important countries in this respect, viz, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The chief item in the import trade is cotton goods, which in 1906 formed nearly one-third of the total exports from the United States to that country and more than two-thirds of the exports from the United Kingdom. The German figures, which group together Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador, also show a great preponderance of cotton goods in the exports, amounting to nearly one-fourth of the total German exports to those three countries. The next largest item in the imports is iron and steel and manufactures thereof, which formed about one-sixth of the exports from the United States to Honduras, while in the case of the United Kingdom it is slightly less than the exports of woolens to Honduras. Another large item is wheat flour, practically all from the United States. Manufac- tures of leather, mineral oil, and provisions complete the list of the more important items of importation. The import tariff of Honduras comprises more than 1,600 sched- ules, all specific duties being charged according to weight, the only exception being wood for building purposes, which is dutiable per 1,000 square feet. The rates range all the way from very low revenue duties to high protective d uties. Export duties are levied on caoutchouc, mahogany, cedar, and cabinet woods, and sarsaparilla. HONDURAS, BRITISH. [Area, 7,562 square miles; population in 1901, 37,479.] The total commerce of British Honduras in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $3,712,000, of which .$1,877,000 were imports and §1,835,000 exports. Of the imports 50.9 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 52.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The oflicial figures of the United States with reference to its trade with British Honduras show that the imports from that country have gro'sru from §186.831 in 1890 to §198,040 in 1900 and §754,581 in 1907, and the exports thereto from §354,468 in 1890 to §615,522 in 1900 and §1,280,540 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. Wtile the foreign commerce of all the Central American Repub- lics has shown within recent years a tendency toward healthy gi'owth, the colony of British Honduras has rather retrograded com- mercially. This was especially noticeable in the middle of the last decade of the nineteenth century, since which time the volume of trade has been increasing somewhat . A probable explanation may be found in the fact that the port of Belize was formerly an impor- tant commercial center for the distribution of the European imports to Central America and the concentration of Central American products for shipment to Europe. With the improvement of direct s'teamship connections between Europe and the various Central American ports, Belize has lost a considerable part of this trade. The population of the colony is extremely small, only 36,668 in 1904, occupying an area of 7,562 square miles, or a little le.s,s tlian 5 inhabitants per square mile. .V great part of the area of Honduras is covered with forests, though lumbering, continued for many years, has denuded a considerable part of it. The exports of British Hon- duras still consist mainly of timber, though within recent years the exports of fruits and nuts and some other agricultural products have been growing. In 1890 the exports of timber amounted to $775,000, or about 80 per cent of the total, while in 1904, the latest year for which statistics are available, they amounted to §742.000, or only 67 per cent. There has been some change in tlie classes of the wood exported; logwood, which fifteen years ago constituted two-thirds of the total exports, at present amoiuits to less than one-fourtli. while the exports of mahogany have increa.sed from 5 million cubic feet, worth $265,000, in 1890, to 9 million cubic feet, worth §531.000. in 1904. For the same pcricwl, exports of bananas have increased from 350,000 bunches to 508,000 bunches, and cocoanuts from 1,300,000 nutfl to 3,400,000. The increase in the exports of sitpodilla gum have been quite remarkable since they first appearetl on the records in 1894, with exports worth .$400; in 1904, ten years later, they amounted to $120,000. 28 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. The imports into British Honduras are of about the same nature as those of most Central American countries, with perhaps the distinction that a vastly greater proportion consist of consump- tion goods, there being scarcely any imports of raw materials or machinery and implements. The most important items are wheat flour, rice, meat, pro\nleions and dairy products, distilled spirits, tobacco and its manufactures, wines, boots and shoes, drugs and chemicals, live animals, cotton manufactures, other textiles, and clothing, while in other Central American countries, such as Costa Rica, the growth in imports of various machinery has been quite noticeable. The trade of British Honduras, or prac- tically Belize, which port is credited with 97 per cent of the tonnage of vessels arrived in 1904, is mainly with two countries, the United Statesand the United Kingdom, but to a small extent also with its neighbor, Mexico. In 1904 about three-fifths of the imports came from the United States, more than one-fourth from the United King- dom, and about 10 per cent from Mexico, leaving less than 5 per cent for all other countries. Of the exports of the products of British Honduras, about 35 per cent were destined for the United Kingdom and almost 60 per cent for the United States. In addition to this, Be- lize exported foreign products to the amount of about $750,000, some of which were products of other Central American countries, and some other merchandise brought there from Europe or the United States. In 1904 the United States took from British Hon- duras all the bananas it exported, nine-tenths of its cocoanuts, almost all its sapodilla gum, all its plantains and rubber, most of its cedar, and more than half of its mahogany. The exports to the United Kingdom consist mainly of mahogany and logwood. As to the imports, most of the animal and vegetable food products were imported from the United States, as well as most of the hard- ware, cotton goods, drugs and chemicals, etc. The imports from the United Kingdom consisted mainly of malt liquors, ready-made clothing, confectioner^^, cotton goods, rice, paints, silks, soap, and tea. For detailed statements of the trade of British Honduras by countries and articles for the last fifteen years, see pages 74, 89, and 90. NICARAGUA. [Area, 49,200 square miles; population, about 500,000.] The total commerce of Nicaragua in 1905, the latest year for which statistics ar^ available, was $6,836,000,' of which $3,447,000 were imports and §3,389,000 exports. Of the imports 55.3 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 49.9 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Nicaragua show that thfe imports therefrom have decreased from $1,655,690 in 1890 to $1,520,266 in 1900 and $1,028,166 in 1907, and the exports thereto increased from $1,373,019 in 1890 to $1,817,869 in 1900 and $1,923,111 in 1907. In the several tabular statements which follow, the trade of NicarE^ua is given by countries and by articles for the years 1898 to 1904, as far as information is available. The violent fluctuations of the Nicaraguan cmTency, coupled with the fact that the statis- tics of the earlier yeaj-s until 1903 and especially the data for exports are stated in that fluctuating currency, make the deter- mination of the actual amounts of the trade a very difficult matter. The tables were compiled from the reports of the Nicaraguan Gov- ernment and have been converted at the rate of exchange indicated in these publications. It must be pointed out though that the values thus obtained are greatly at variance with those published by the British consuls, and it was impossible to determine the causes of these differences. The exports from Nicaragua amount to about 3 to 4 million dollars annually, except for 1902, when the small value stated in Table 50 was the result of the very high rate of exchange for gold, though in the currency of the country the exports for 1902 were even greater than for 1901. Since 1899 the United States has held the lead among the purchasers of the products of Nicaragua, taking annually from 50 to 60 per cent of the total exports, though in 1898 both Germany and the United Kingdom were ahead of the United States. In 1904, the latest year for which data are available, 53 per cent were sent to the United States, 13 per cent to Germany, and about 12 per cent each to the United Kingdom and France. These exports consist mainly of coffee, of which over 20 million pounds were exported, valued at $1,404,000, or 36 per cent of the total exports. Next in importance in 1904 came timber and lum- ber, consisting mainly of mahogany, and amounting to $840,000, or nearly 22 per cent. Some mahogany was exported in the years 1898 to 1900, but the exports were almost discontinued in the sub- sequent three years, amounting in 1903 to $17,000 only, so that the high exports of 1904 seem to indicate a sudden revival of the forest industry. Among other articles of export may be mentioned bananas, cattle, and india rubber. The exports of the latter, however, are not as large now as they were five or six years ago. While the exports thus seem to consist of agricultural products mainly, some quantities of gold dust are also exported, varying in value from $300,000 to $800,000 annually. The United States takes practically all the bananas exported, almost all the mahogany, all the rubber, and almost all the gold, but very little coffee, which constitutes the bulk of the exports to the other countries men- tioned above. Thus, coffee comprises 99 per cent of the exports to Germany and 96 per cent of the exports to France, but only 54 per cent of the exports to the United Kingdom, to which country are also exported some quantities of mahogany and gold.

COMMERCIAL A^IERICA IN 1907. 29 In the import trade of Nicaragua the preponderance of the United States is equally great, more than half having come from this coun- try during the last five years, although as late as 1898 the United Kingdom sent almost tvnce as much as the United States. About 24 per cent of the imports in 1904 came from the United Kingdom, about 13 per cent from Germany, and 8 per cent from France. These consist mainly of cotton manufactures, pro^isions, flour, iron and steel manufactures, and many other manufactured articles.

According to a report of the British foreign office, all the flour, kerosene, building lumber, dj-namite. leaf tobacco, wdndmills. and imitation jewelry come from the United States, which also occu- pies first place in suppUing pro\-isions. agricultural machinery, hardware, drugs, rice, manufactures of silk, hempen rope, tram- way rails, leather, tallow, beer, barbed wire, spirits, paints, sewing machines, candles, manufactured tobacco, umbrellas, and salt. The United Kingdom leads in manufactures of cotton and wool, soap, jute bags, and lubricating oil; Germany in paper, hats, matches, ready-made clothing, manufactures of glass. Portland cement, earthenware, prussian blue, and pianos, while France ranks first in wines and perfumery. The United Kingdom appears first in the importation of firearms, but in these returns does not appear the value of the arms introduced by the Government of Nicaragua for military purposes, nearly all of which come from the United States. No returns are obtainable of the value of gun- powder, percussion caps, shot, and cartridges imported. The sale of these articles is a Government monopoly, and they do not pass through the custom-house, but all or nearly all of them were re- ceived from the United States. A noticeable item is the almost complete monopoly held by the United States in the sale of boots and shoes. Until recently these goods were imported from Austria-Hungary, a few coming from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Most of the better class of boots and shoes are now imported into Nicaragua from New Orleans, while coarser lioois for workmen are received from Boston. Beer comes from the United States and Germany, and the greater part of the ordinary soap is from the United Kingdom, but imports of the latter article have of late years been much reduced, owing to the establishment of several native soap factories that turn out a fairly good article, and as the materials are admitted duty free the product is al)le to compete succes.sfully in prices with foreign soap. .\11 the tallow and most of the materials used in soap making come from the United Stales. The leather imports, which amount in value to about $30,000 per annum, are nearly equally divided between the United States and Germanv.

TARIFF. The tariff of Nicaragua contains over 1,600 schedules providing specific rates of duty on imports. The duties are in several cases quite high, although a large number of products required in the industries are admitted free, such as lumber, charcoal, wood pulp for paper making, railway appliances, iron and steel products,- etc. Goods not menticmed and not resembling any articles mentioned in the tariff are subject to a duty of ''150 per cent of their value, according to the consular invoice." The law further provides that if such goods "consist of raw materials similar to those of national production they shall l)e chargeable with duty at the rate of 200 per cent of the amount of the invoice." Should unonumerated articles consist of materials for arts or trade or for agriciillural or industrial purposes and not Ije serviceable for ordinarj- use, but for especial and exclusive service, ''tliey shall be assessed with a duty of 100 per cent of the amount of the invoice." PANAMA. [Area, 31,570 sqpare miles; population, estimated at 340,000.) The total commerce of Panama in 1904, the latest year for wliich statistics are available, was $1,845,000, of which $759,000 were im- ports and §1,086,000 exports. Of the imports 68.7 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 96.6 per cent was sent to the United Slates. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Panama show that the imports therefrom have grown from $440,747 in 1904 to $813,154 in 1905, $1,065,887 in 1906, and §1,752,314 in 1907, and the exports thereto from .$979,724 in 1904 to .$4,745,562 in 1905, $12,460,289 in 1906, and $16,150,953 in 1907. The bulk of the population of Panama is concentrated on the Pacific slope of the Cordillera, west of Panama City, and, with the exception of the towns of Panama and Colon (20,000 and 3,000 inhabitants, respectively), all the more important (owns are in the interior, evidently for hygienic reasons. The eastern part of the Republic, comprising most of the pri>vince of Panama, which stretches from the Canal Zone to the Colombia boundary, is mostly 30 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. a wilderness, the only settlements being those along Tuira River, in the southeastern corner. The soil is of gi-oat fertility and the climate induces luxuriant growth of tropical vegetation; of the whole area about one-half is vmoccupied, and of the remainder only a small part is properly cultivated. Bananas arc the most important crop, the industry being concentrated in the proA'ince of Boca del Toro, in the north- west comer, which depends almost entirely on this crop. Coffee is grown in all the inhabited districts, the best resvdts being obtained in Chiriqui Province, near the Costa Rican frontier (500,000 trees), and in the Code Province (50,000 trees). Cacao gi-ows in many parts, but best in Code Province (southwest of the Canal Zone). Tobacco of good quality is produced, but not in sufficient quantity to supply the home demand. Sugar cane is raised in Chiriqui, Los Santos, Code, and Veraguas provinces. Corn, rice, and other cereals are grown, but not enough to supply the home demand. Rubber is collected in the mountains and near the coast. Cotton, indigo, vanilla, cocoanuts, cloves and other spices, tropical fruits and vegetables, palms, ivory nuts, sarsaparilla, and ipecacuanha grow wild and in cultivation. MANUFACTURES. Except a few small soap, match, chocolate, ice, and aerated water factories, Panama can not be said to have any manufactures. A carbonating plant has been established at the Paraiso Springs, in the Canal Zone, 8 miles from Panama. The plant is equipped with American machinery. A central school for the manufacture of "Panama hats" has been established in the district of Arrijan, a little west of Panama City. At present "Panama hats" are made in Ecuador. The prospect of security and of a large influx of capital has led to increased immigi-ation and colonization. The main obstacle, the unsatisfactory reputation the country has borne from a sanitary point of view, will probably be lessened by the labors of the sani- tary commission. In fact, that reputation, which grew out of con- ditions in the two cities of Panama and Colon, has been unjustly extended to the wliole country. The larger part of the Republic is mountainous, and therefore not subject to the miasmas which create the fevers in the lowlands. The tract to be colonized is in the southeastern part of the Republic , which at present is almost unin- habited. It is very well watered, an excellent grazing country, and rich in minerals. Each foreigner who will undertake to estab- lish cultivation of any kind or to raise live stock there will receive 247 acres of land and an advance, not to exceed $1,000 in gold, for transportation of himself and family and for seeds, implements, etc., repayments to be made, without interest, in five annual install- ments. TRANSPORTATION. The Panama Railroad, completed on January 28, 1855, is the most important means of transportation on the Isthmus. It is a single-track 5-foot gauge road, 47^ miles in length, connecting the cities of Colon and Panama. It handles the local trade, but its importance lies chiefly in the transit trade between the Atlantic and Pacific. In 1903 thistransit trade amounted to 281,778 tons, orSOper cent of a total freight tonnage of 349.538 tons; during the same year 77,865 passengers were carried. In 1904 thp total traffic was 415,000 tons, of which 366.570 tons, or 81.46 per cent, was transit; 114,000 passengers were carried. Of the total tonnage, 56.71 per cent was west bound and 43.29 per cent east bound in 1904. The road is con- trolled by the United States Government, which owns over 97 per cent of the stock. Two wagon roads lead out of Panama — one, the Royal road, extends northwest a distance of 17 miles to Cruces; the other, an old and little used road, reaches across the Isthmus to Porto Bello, almost due north of Panama. There are no other highways in the country, except crude roads and trails along the railway and in the vicinity of the larger towns; but an extensive network of new roads has been planned and in part begun. The chief ports and trade centers on the Isthums are Colon, Boca del Toro. and Panama, in the Republic of Panama; and Cristobal and Ancon, in the Canal Zone. Other ports are, on the Atlantic side, Porto I'ello and Chagres; on the Pacific side, Aguadulce. San Miguel (Pearl Islands), Taboga (island of Taboga, off Panama City), and Flamenco (Canal Zone). Steamship lines making regular calls at Colon include three British (Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, Leyland Line, Harrison Line), one German (Hamburg-American), one French (Compagnie G^n^rale Transatlantique). one Italian (La Veloce, for Genoa and Trieste), one Spanish (La Comparia Tras- atMnticade Barcelona), and one American (Panama Railroad Steam- ship) Company). The American line has a weekly service between Colon and New York. The United Fruit Company has also vessels plying between New Orleans and Mobile and Colon and Boca del Toro. Camors, McConnell & Co. make connection between Mobile and Boca del Toro about eight times a month; the Di Giorgio Steam- ship Company, Mobile to Boca del Toro, twice a month. On the Pacific side the steamers of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, of Liverpool, and of the Chilean Steamship Company, of Valparaiso, maintain weekly communication between Panama and the principal ports of South and Central America; the Pacific Mail Steamship Company maintains a weekly service between Panama and San Francisco, calling at the principal Central American ports; and the German Kosmos Line calls about once a month, establishing com- munication with the principal ports of the west coast of North and South America. COMMERCE. Statistics of the commerce of Panama are difficult to obtain, as they were merged with those of Colombia previous to November, 1903, and the machinery of the new Government was not fully organized for some time after its establishment. A largo part of the records of the port of Panama, moreover, was destroyed by fire in June, 1904. The only statistics available of the total foreign trade are those of imports into Colon for the fiscal years 1903 and 1904, and imports into and exports from Boca del Toro for the fiscal year 1904. The publication of monthly returns of the foreign trade of Panama was begun by the recently organized general statistical office of the Republic in the fall of 1907, so that full retm-ns will be available in the future. The trade of the United States with Pan- ama is shown elsewhere in this report. During the second half of 1903 the total imports into the Republic were 1835,043, of which the United States contributed more than one-third, the United Kingdom a little less than one-third, and Ger- many one-sixth. In the second half of 1903 the following articles came almost exclusively from the LTnited States: Carts, trucks, cement, flour, wheat, hams, rubber manufactures, lard, canned goods, cars, petroleum, phonographs, resins, turpentine, and tj-pe- writers. The United States tables of imports from and exports to Panama for the four fiscal years ended June 30, 1907, show that the imports from Panama almost quadrupled, while the exports to Panama increased more than sixteen times. The largest item in the imports into the United States fi'om Pan- ama is bananas, valued at §263,000 in 1904, $415,000 in 1905, and $713,442 in 1906, constituting in the first two years more than one- half and during 1906 almost tliree-fourths of the total imports. By far the larger share is exported thi'ough Boca del Toro and the remainder through Colon. The next largest item is India rubber ($77,700 in 1904, §154,000 in 1905, $98,750 in 1906, and $146,968 in 1907). Imports of hides and skins, the next largest item (§37,000 in 1904, §92,000 in 1905, $91,000 in 1906, and $146,000 in 1907), have jiearly quadrupled. Imports of cabinet woods have risen from §27,000 in 1904 to $84,000 in 1907. This trade admits of vast exten- sions, as the resoiu-ces of Panama in that respect have hitherto remained almost undeveloped, owing to the difficulty of transpor- tation. Among the exports from the United States to Panama all articles show a great increase from 1903 to 1906, and in most cases the COMMERCIAL AMERICA IX 1907. 31 increase is two or three fold. The greatest increase is shown in exports of iron and manufactures thereof, which rose from $105,323 to $4,728,858. In machinery the increase was ^rom $26,312 to $2,107,932. The great increase in exports of wood, from $62,886 to $1,951,717, is explained by the demand for lumber in the erec- tion of dwellings, wharves, and for framework. The increase in the exports of vehicles, from $7,675 to $1,619,477, testifies to the increased activity in railway and other transportation. The in- creased exports of foodstuffs (wheat flour, $67,650 to $349,730; bacon and hams, $8,584 to $125,688; lard, $39,321 to $458,470), manufactures of cotton ($107,605 to $796,572), boots and shoes ($39,436 to $420,894), ,and medicines ($16,107 to $92,423) bear evidence of the increase of population and of the increased pur- chasing power due to the large disbursements of American money. The tariff of Panama provides for a general duty of 10 per cent on the invoice value of imports. Some articles, such as liquors, neat cattle, salt, tobacco, matches, etc., are subject to special rates. According to the agreement between the United States and Panama, wares and merchandise imported for use in the construction of the canal or maintenance of the Panama Railroad or for sale by the Government commissary to the employees of the Government may enter the zone by the ports of the Republic of Panama free of duty. Goods intended for sale or general consumption are not admitted through the ports of the zone and are required to pass through the ports of the Republic of Panama and are subject to the general customs duties. In addition to the duty proper, there are also a number of additional taxes and consular fees. SALVADOR. [Area, 7,225 square miles; population in 1901, 1,006,848.] The total commerce of Salvador in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $9,986,000, of which $4,346,000 were imports and $5,640,000 exports. Of the imports 31.2 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 21.8 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Salvador show that the imports therefrom have fluctuated between $1,453,958 in 1890, $738,674 in 1900, and $1,171,187 in 1907, and the exports thereto between $899,546 in 1890, $679,440 in 1900, and $1,603,166 in 1907. COMMERCE. The commerce of Salvador for the last six years for which statis- tics are available was as follows (in gold): Table 51. — Commerce (including Bullion and Specie) of Salvador, 1900-1905. 1900 1901 1902 1903 Dollars.

The foreign trade of Salvador is distributed mainly among tlie same four countries which divide nearly the entire Central American trade, namely, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Of the exports from Salvador, nearly 30 per cent are absorbed by France, and the sliare destined for (he United States, constantly growing, has nearly doubled within the last four years, increasing from 16 per cent to 22 per cent of the total exports. The exports to Germany also nearly doubled, but those to the United Kingdom and Italy remained about the same. Altogether these five countries took nearly 94 per cent of the total exports in 1905. (See Table 55.) In the nature of the articles exported Salvador bears a strong resemblance to its northwestern neighbor, Guatemala, coffee being by far the most importani article. In 1901 the value of the coffee exported constituted 75 per cent of the total exports and in 1905 over 77 per cent. The other important articles are precious min- erals, indigo, of which the exports are rapidly declining, and sugar. Small quantities of balsam, rice, rubber, tobacco, and some hides and skins are also exported. Table 55. — Exports from Salvador, 1902-1905, by Countries." COUNTRIES.

The most noteworthy feature of the import trade of Salvador is the rapid increase of the imports from the United States, which have nearly doubled in five years, and constituted in 1905 over 31 per cent of the total imports as against 28 per cent in 1901, this countiy occupying in 1905 for the first time the first place in the list of the importing countries, exceeding the United King- dom by about $40,000, while in the preceding year the United Kingdom was ahead of the United States by about $300,000. As is the case with all Central American countries, the imports into Salvador consist of small quantities of a large variety of manu- factured articles read}- for consumption, and food supplies, exchanged Table 59. — Imports into Salvador, 1901-1905, by Articles.

Cotton manufactures head the list of impoijed goods, constituting aVjout 30 per cent of the total imports. Flour, ironware, drugs and medicines, soap and can- dles, cotton thread, etc., are imported in quantities varying from $100,000 to a quarter of a million dollars. Various other textiles, such as silks, linen, wool, and other dry goods; articles of food, such as wines, cheese, butter, liquors, beer, ginger ale, cacao, etc.; arti- cles of household use, such as china, earthenware, perfumery, hats, glassware, matches, and furniture make up the bulk of the rest of the imports. (See Table. 59.) Thus Salvador, like all the other Central American Republics, represents potentially a very actJ^ market for many lines of manufactures in which this country ex- cels, and the rapid growth of imports into Salvador from the United States, as noticed in Table 58, is especially gratifying. The distribution of the principal imports by leading countries was as follows: 4,346,070 Table GO. -Principal Imports into Salvador, 1901-1904, by Articles and LEADiiiG Countries.

The duties are practically all specific. In addition to the import duties proper, there are a number of taxes, custom-house charges for warehousing, and other fees, which, in some cases, greatly exceed the duties proper. Agricultural machinery, scientific instruments not specified in the tariff, barbed wire for fences, plows, and surgical instruments are among the articles admitted free of duty. COAOIERCIAL Al^IERICA IN 1907. 33 CHILE. [Area, 307,620 square miles; population in 1903, 3,205,992.] The total coininerce of Chile in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $165,639,000, of which $68,839,000 were imports and $96,800,000 exports. Of the imports 10 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 16.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Chile show that the imports from that country have grown from $3,183,249 in 1890 to §7,112,826 in 1900 and $18,287,029 in 1907; and theexports thereto from $3,226,364 in 1890 to $3,287,565 in 1900 and $10,195,657 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. The coast region of Chile rises steeply from the sea toward the Coast Cordillera, a diversified table-land not above 3,300 feet at its highest altitude. The Andes run along the eastern frontier and inclose with the Coast Cordillera the central valley or llano. At the south the coast is broken up into numerous archipelagos, islets, and peninsulas. This is a densely wooded region, with a very heavy rainfall and a sparse population. The northern region bordering on Peru is a desert countrj', thinly inhabited, but valu- able as the source of the great saltpeter industry. Agi-iculture is thus confined to the central valley, where the largest estates are situated. A large part of the favorably situated agricultural land is in the possession of the niling families and the Catholic Church, whose influence in Chile is greater than in any other of the South American States. It is estimated that about one-half of the popu- lation is engaged in agriculture, but is largely employed on the great estates. The -value of the crops of the year 1903-4 was estimated at over $22,000,000. Cattle raising is of minor importance. In 1906 the live stock of the countrj- consisted of 698,880 horses, 2,477,064 head of cattle, 2,405,584 sheep, 287,612 pigs, and 461,908 goats; there were 27,936 mules and 17,574 asses in 1902. The minerals of Chile, and especially the nitrate deposits, play at present the chief part in the economic development of the countrj'. Since the acquisition of the Provinces of Tarapaca and Antofagasta from Peru and Bolivia, respectively, in 1884, the exploitation of the nitrate deposits has been the dominating factor in the industrial life of the countrj^ affecting agricidture and the mineral industries, and providing a xery large part of the countrj-'s re-\'enue. The nitrate is found chiefly in Tarapaca and Antofagasta, and about 90 per cent of the total deposits is believed to be located in the for- mer region. The deposits of Tarapaca were worked as early as 1830, but while the Province was under the dominion of Peru the industry was carried on on a comparatively small scale. It is only since the acquisition of the nitrate territories by Chile, when nitrate became an important factor in agriculture as well as in the chem- ical industrj', that the industry has become an object of interest to the chief agricultural and industrial nations of the world. It is controlled to a large extent by English capital, but the German share is also important, German firms having contributed about one-fifth of the total exports of nitrate and subsidiarj- products in 1904-5. The development of the nitrate industry may be seen from the following table: Table 61. -AVEUAOE AXKUAL EXPORTS OF NlTRAT^S FROM ChILE, 1840-1904, BY Five-Year Periods. PEBIODS.

In railway transportation Chile is one of the most advanced countries in South America. The construction of railways has been facilitated by the configuration of the coast region, and accelerated by the existence of the nitrate deposits, which could not be worked without railway facilities. At the end of 1903 the railways of Chile had a total length of 2,885 miles, of which the Government owned 1,375 miles. The private lines are largely in the north, and are con- trolled by the Nitrate Railway Company. Of the longitudinal railway line which is to connect Tacna ^^•ith Puerto Montt at the entrance of the Chiloe Archipelago 1,020 miles are in operation, and the remaining 1,058 miles, mostly in the northern section, have been partly surveyed. The short link, in the Transandine line which is to connect Buenos Aires with Valparaiso is now under construction, and its completion is expected shortly. The cost of the State lines to the end of 1900 was $75,208,000. Besides the railways, Chile has more than 20,000 miles of roads and 700 miles of navigable water- ways. The telegraph lines, which belong largely to the State, had a total length of more than 9,300 mUes at the end of 1904; commerce. Detailed information as to the foreign commerce of Chile for the last fifteen years and a more general re\dew of its commerce since 1870 will be found in the tables on pages 67, 75, and 90 to 92. In this place only a more general statement can be given. The exports fi-om Chile are considerably larger than the imports, and show a higher increase during the last decade than the imports, which have increased only slightly. The increase in the exports occurs largely in nitrates, which have increased from 35 million dol- lars in value in 1895 to 67.3 millions in 1905. The total exports in 1895 were 54 million dollars and in 1905, 97 millions. Nitrate formed about 70 per cent of the exports in 1905. The exports for 1905 were classified as follows: Animal products, $3,312,000; vegetable products, $5,193,000; mineral products, $80,365,000. The chief animal products were hides and skins, leather, wool, and wax. The most important vegetable products were barley and other cereals, dried fruits, flour, wheat, and various seeds. The chief mineral products included, besides nitrates, cop- per, iodine, gold, and silver. The total imports for the same year (1905), which amounted to .$68,838,000, were classified as follows: Animal products, $4,784,000; vegetable products, $6,740,000; mineral products, $13,482,000; textiles, $19,301,000; oils, fuel, and paints, $11,323,000; paper, cardboard, and manufactures of, $1,334,000; beverages and liqueurs, $738,000; perfumery, dnigs, and chemicals, $1,173,000; machines, instruments, and apparatus, $9,142,000, and arms, ammunition, and explosives, .$570,000. The chief items in the group of animal products were live animals, fish, and leather. The chief vegetable products were coffee, yerlja mat (5, tea, sugar, wood and its manufac- tures, and edible oils. The chief mineral products wore iron and steel, wire, nails, etc., supplies for railways, telegraphs, etc., lime and cement, glassware, and earthenware. The chief textiles were cotton cloth, cotton yarn, cotton underwear, woolen goods, and silk. Among the chief items in the group of oils, fuel, and paints are coal, petroleum and its products, and prepared colors. Agricultural and mining machinen,-, machinery for electric and gas light, and railway cars are the chief articles in the group of marhineiy, instruments, etc. In 1905 Great Britain supplied Chile with more than 45 per cent of the total imports of textiles, 43 per cent of the mineral products (largely manufactures of iron and steel), over 54 per cent of the min- eral oils, fuel, etc. (chiefly coal), and more than 32 per cent of the machinerj', etc. Germany supplied 36 per cent of the mineral prod- ucts, 25 per cent of the textiles and textile goods, 45 per cent of the paper and paper manufactures, and over 42 per cent of the machin- ery, instruments, etc. The United States coiUribuled about 18 per cent of the vegetable products, about 10 per cent of the mineral oils, fuel, etc., le.^is than 4 per cent of the textiles and manufactures thereof, about 28 per cent of the paper and its manufactures, and 32277—08 34 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. over 6 per cent of the animal products. Argentina .'supplied about 47 per cent of the animal products, and Peru about 30 per cent of the vegetable products (chiefly sugar). Textiles form the greatest share of imports from France, which supplied in 1905 15 per cent of the total imports of textiles, or about four times as much as came from the United States, and even from Italy the imports of textiles wer6 greater than from the United States. The chief imports into the United Kingdom from Chile during 1906 were nitrates, copper, wool, and cotton. Tin to the amount of $6,500,000 is credited to Chile, but this is evidently Bolivian tin ex- ported through Chilean ports, as Chile produces only small quanti- ties of that mineral. The chief imports into Germany from Chile during the same year were nitrates, iodine, and leather, the imports of nitrates constituting nearly 90 per cent of the total. In the im- ports into the United States from Chile during the fiscal year 1906 nitrate figures to the extent of 70 per cent, the remainder being made up chiefly of copper, hides and sldns, and wool. The import tariff of Chile divides all imports into six classes, sub- ject to ad valorem rates of 60, 35, 15, 5, and 25 per cent, respectively, and duty free. The 60 per cent class includes articles of fur, paper, cereals, boots and shoes, caniages and wagons, meats, articles of per- sonal wear, fruits, biscuits, household goods, dairy products, etc. Goods subject to 35 per cent include various kinds of cloth, leather goods, ammunition, paintings, mirrors, woolen blankets, gloves, toys, books, twine, sheet iron, and other products. The 15 per cent class includes steam boilers, iron and steel chains, dynamite and other explosives, hemp and jute tissues, iron and steel bridges, domestic utensils, and structural iron and steel. The 5 per cent class includes many kinds of chemicals, railway switches, lead, copper, bronze, iron and steel pipes, various fibers, appliances for m.achines, wines and liquors, sugar, coffee, cigars, tobacco, etc. The duty-free list comprises metal wire, raw cotton, live animals, agricultural ma- chineiy, fire engines, iron and steel in various shapes, machinery of various kinds, iron and steel plants for railways, harrows and rakes, etc. All articles not mentioned in the tariff under the above classes are subject to a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem. A few specific rates are provided for animals. The Chilean tariff, like that of several other South American countries, contains a valuation tariff setting forth the value for almost every article mentioned in the 2,260 schedules, making the rates virtually specific. TRADE BY COUNTRIES. The statistics of commerce by countries, as given for sixteen years beginning with 1890, on page 75, show that in the foreign trade of Chile, as in that of Central America, the principal shares are credited to the same four industrial countries — the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the United States. In 1905 they absorbed over 90 per cent of the exports from Chile and contributed over 80 per cent of its imports. It is characteristic of all South American countries, however, that the volume of trade with Ger- many and the United Kingdom considerably surpasses that with the United States or France, and that, while both in imports and exports the United Kingdom still holds the first place, Ger- many, its chief competitor, shows a much more rapid development. Thus, while the total exports from Chile have nearly doubled from 1891 to 1905, the exports to the United Kingdom have increased but slightly and constitute now only 40 per cent of the total ex- ports as against 65 per cent in 1891. On the other hand, the exports to Germany have increased almost fivefold, and proportionately to the total trade from nearly 12 per cent to 27 per cent. A sim- ilar development is shown by the imports into Chile; the imports from the United Kingdom have hardly increased within the last fifteen years and constituted, in 1907, 37 per cent of the total, as against 44 per cent in 1891, while the imports from Germany have" almost doubled and their proportion to the total imports has increased from 19 to 25 per cent. The trade of Chile with the United States is subject to marked fluctuations. The exports from Chile to the United States fell off considerably during (he last decade of the past century, averaging from a million and a half to two and a half million dollars annually, but have shown a tendency toward rapid growth since 1902, amounting in 1905 to over 15J million dollars. While there has been some tendency toward increase in the imports into Chile from the United States as well, it has not been so marked. COLOMBIA. [Area, 40.5,714 sqiiare miles; populition, estimated at 4,.300,000.] The latest official figures of the foreign commerce of Colombia relate to the calendar year 1898, when they amounted to $29,570,000, of which .l;il,083,000 were imports and $18,487,000 exports. Of the imports 44.5 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 37 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Colombia show that the imports from that country have grown from $3,575,253 in 1890 to 14,307,814 in 1900 and .$6,308,680 in 1907, and the exports thereto from $2,585,828 in 1890 to $2,710,688 in 1900 and $3,084,718 in 1907, these being fiscal -year figures in all cases. AREA, POPULATION, AND RESOURCES. The Republic of Colombia, in the northwestern part of the South American continent, is bounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Re- public of Panama on the north, by Venezuela and Brazil on the east, by Peru and Ecuador on the south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west. The area is estimated officially at 465,714 square miles. No reliable statistics of the present population are obtainable, the last census having been taken in 1871, when the population was given as 2,951,323. In 1898 the population was estimated at about 4,000,000, including about 150,000 uncivilized Indians; for 1905 the estimated population is given as 4,280,000. The western part of the country is occupied largely by the Andean Cordilleras, which are divided into three main chains. The eastern part consists mainly of the vast plains or "llanos," sparsely inhabited and well adapted for cattle raising. The coasts are well indented and have a number of good harbors. The chief ports are BaiTanquilla and Cartagena, both on the Caribbean Sea. The agricultural resources are abundant. The fertile valleys of the Cordilleras and the regions along the coast produce coffee, cacao, bananas, sugar, and many tropical fruits, but agriculture is in a very backward state, even in the most populous and cJAdlized dis- tricts. The chief products exported are tobacco and coffee. Cattle raising is carried on to a considerable extent, but there is very little done toward improving the breed of the native cattle. Colombia possesses enormous mineral resources, gold being found in almost every Department, either in alUndal deposits or in streams. At present the center of gold mining is the Department of Antioquia. The chief silver mines are in Tolima and Cauca. No relialile statistics of tlie mineral output of Colombia are available. The country has also deposits of iron, coal, petroleum, platinum, lead, mercury, salt, and emeralds. The salt mines are worked by the Government. The richest mines are in the remote interior, and the lack of modern transportation facilities makes it impossible to carry on mining operations on a large scale. TRANSPORT.^TION. In transportation facilities Colombia may be classed among the most backward countries of South America. It has about 400 miles of railways, consisting of short, mostly narrow-gauge, lines, running from the coast to the Magdalena River, which is naA-igable for about 900 miles and forms the chief watei-way of the country. The roads are mere mule tracks, and the mule is the chief mea:ns of transporta- tion, both for passengers and freiglit, in the interior. COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 35 COMMERCE. Owing to the disturbed state of the country during recent years, no official reports regarding the commerce of Colombia have been published by its Government .since 1898. For some years the British consuls were able to obtain some information in regard to the trade of the two main ports, namely, BaiTanquilla and Cartagena, which included, in the earlier years, about 80 per cent of the exports and 90 per cent of the imports; the information obtained by them was, however, extremel]^ fragmentary — quantities only being given for some years and values only for other years — thus rendering a careful comparison impossible. The port of Cartagena has a trade which represents about one- fourth of the total trade of Colombia. Data are available for the exports from this port in 1898 and 1906, and the total value of these exports seems to have fallen off from $5,567,000 to §3,658,000. The main exports fi-om this port in both of these years were cattle, coffee, hides and skins, tobacco, rubber, and gold bullion; the decline in exports was most marked in tobacco — the exports in 1906 being only 4 million pounds as against 8 million poimds in 1898. There has also been some decline in the exports of cattle, as well as of hides and skins. As to imports into Cartagena, data are available only for weights in 1906 compared with 1898, and the imports of food and spices seem to have fallen off from 5 million pounds to less than a million; imports of liquors from over 2 million pounds to 660,000 pounds; a similar decline occm-red in the imports of iron and steel, construction material, and textiles. The foreign trade of Barranquilla amounts to more than one-half of the total trade of Colombia. No values are obtainable for a period later than 1900, so that a comparison is possible only for quantities of individual articles. The chief exports are similar to those of Car- t£^ena, and here again a decline is noticed, especially in the exports of coffee, hides, and other articles, though since 1900 there has been some recovery; thus the exports of coffee in 1900 were only 87,000 bags against over 300,000 bags in 1898 and 250,000 bags in 1899, but by 1904 the trade had recovered and tlie exports of coffee amounted to 574,000 bags. Only 115,000 hides were exported in 1900 as against 180,000 in 1899; no data are available for 1901 and 1902, but in 1903 the number increased to 283,000. Exports of ivory nuts in 1899 amounted to 5,000 bags, and in 1900 to less than a thousand bags. The value of gold and silver exported in 1898 was $2,800,000; in 1899, $2,200,000, and in 1900 the trade had greatly declined, amounting to less than .$700,000. For imports into Barranquilla only data of quantity are available, and these are all stated in terms of weight. Here again a decline in the volume of imports is notice- able in regard to a number of groups of articles, mainly iron and steel, wines and liquors, and woolen goods; there has also be^n a decline in the imports of leather, soaps and perfumery, and other articles. This information being so meager it is necessary in order to form some conception of the foreign trade of Colombia to have recourse to the reports of other countries on their trade with Colombia for recent years. In Table 62 are given the imports from Colombia into the five countries with which it mainly trades, namely, the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Sp^in, and the exports to Colombia from the same five countries for the years 1890, 1895, 1900, and 1905. By adding the figures of all the countries specified with regard to their trade with Colombia, a total may l)c obtained which must not be understood as representing with any accuracy the total trade of Colombia, but may be considered as at least indicative of the dimensions of that trade; moreover a total obtained in that way is valuable for purposes of comparing figures for different time periods. It appears from Table 62 that the total volume of the trade greatly decreased toward the end of the nineteenth century, for the total trade in 1900 with the five countries specified was 19i million dollar.-, or 40 percent less than in 1890. The effect was especially marked on the exports from the countries mentioned to Colombia, indicating a decline in the imrchasing power of the people because of the d isturbances referred to. Thus the exports from those countries to Colombia, which had been more than 21 million dollars in 1890, were only 14 million dollars in 1895 and less than 8 million dollars in 1900, a reduction of more than 60 per cent within ten years. Within the last few yeai-s a considerable improve- ment is noticeable, the imports having increased by almost 2 million dollars and the exports by almost,. 5 million dollars, though the volume of trade in 1905 is still below that of 1895. This falling off occurred especially in the trade with France, the United Kingdom, and even Germany. On the other hand, the trade with the United States, both in imports and exports, has been growing in the face of this general decline; for the imports from Colombia into the United States have increased from $3,575,000 in 1890 to $3,714,000 in 1895, to $4,308,000 in 1900, and .$6,412,000 in 1905, while the exports from the United States to Colombia have increased from §2,586,000 in 1890 to $2,596,000 in 1895, $2,711,000 in 1900, and $3,583,000 in 1905, but declined slightly in 1906 and 1907, the decline being due chiefly to the fact that a section of Colombia became an independent country (Panama), and its commerce no longer figures as a part of that of Colombia.

On pages 146 and 147 may be found a detailed statement in regard to the trade of the United States with Colombia by articles, and on pages 124 and 125 a similar statement for the United Kingdom, France, antl Germany. It ap- pears from these statements that the imports into the United States from Colombia reached their highest point in 1906, when they amounted to over 7 million dollars. A slight decline in 1907 re- duced these imports to $6,309,000. In the fiscal year 1906 the chief imports into the United States from Colombia were as follows: Coffee, $4,102,000; hides and skins, $1,071,000; bananas, $477,000; India rubber, .$346,000; cocoanuts, $372,000. Coffee alone, there- fore, constituted almost 60 per cent of the imports, and the quantity of coffee imported almost equaled 50 million poumls. That, how- ever, was not the largest import of coffee on record, for in 1904 the imports of coffee equaled 73i million pounds. The imports into the United Kingdom from (.'olonil)ia in 1906 were oidy $1,349,700, against $3,260,700 in 1904. The imports into the United Kingiloni from Colombia also consisted maiidy of coffee, which ni 1904 amounted to 129,689 hundredweights and in 1906 only to 33.210 hundredweights. The other articles imported were cacao, raw hides, and India rubber. Germany bought from Colombia coffee mainly, of which the importsin 1905 amounted toll, 031,249 pounds, valued at $1 ,255,700, or more tlian half of the total imports, other articles of importance being hides and skins and india rubber, as in the cast? of the United States and the Unite As no report was found for 1903, the imports were obtained from the British Consular Reports and the e.xports from the Statesman's Yearbook, 1905. c No data available. Included with "All other." The imports into Ecuador in 1906, the latest year for which statistics are available, exceeded 8J million dollars, while the exports are growing at a faii'ly rapid rate. In 1906 the United Kingdom contributed about 33 per cent of the imports, the United States 27 per cent, Germany 18 per cent, France 7J per cent, and all the other countries only 14 per cent. While the same four countries absorb the greater part of the exports, the order of impor- tance is different. France is the mo,«t important purchaser of products of Ecuador, taking in 1906 a little over 31 per cent, the United States slightly less than 31 per cent, and Germany less than one-sixth, leaving less than one-fourth to all the other countries. This geographic distribution of the exports and imports of Ecua- dor may be better understood from the nature of the articles enter- ing its commerce. Of its exports, as shown in Table 68, almost 60 per cent consists of cacao, of which France is the most important consumer. Palm nuts, rubber, and coffee are other important agricultural exports, and in 1905 these four items alone amounted to 82 per cent of the total exports. The remainder consists of some hides, auriferous minerals, and straw hats. The imports into Ecuador, on the other hand, are much more varied, consisting of comparatively small quantities of a variety of articles of ready consumption needed in a country with scarcely any manufacturing indu-strics. In Table 69 are shown the imports into Ecuador in the years 1900, 1902, 1904, and 1905, the only r,.,,.nt years for which it was possible to obtain information. Textiles are seen to constitute about 30 per cent of these imports, and food- stuffs, iron ware, and ready-made clothing are the items next in importance; all these are products in the manufacture of which the United States and the United Kingdom are leading.

The commerce with the United States has grown considerably during the period 1890 to 1907. The imports into the United States from Ecuador have in the last seventeen years increased almost 400 per cent, from $535,060 to §3,059,573. The exports from the United States to Ecuador in the same period .show an incToase of about 140 per cent, from $715,208 to $1,726,289. The imports into the United States from Ecuador during 1906 consisted of cacao, which formed over 42 per cent of the total; rubber, over 23 per cent; vegetable ivory and hides and skins, over 10 per cent each; straw hats, etc., about 10 per cent, and all other articles only 3 per cent. Our im- ports of cacao from Ecuador have increased during the jieriod 1S90 to 1906 from $150,156 to $1,108,219. The exports from the I'nited States to Ecuador in 1906 were chiefly made up a.« follows: \\ heat flour and lard, al)out 28 per cent each; iron and steel manufactures, about 34 per cent," and manufactures of cotton, about 5 ptT cent .

The import tariff of Ecuador provides for levying the following duties: (1) Import duties; (2) a surtax of 100 per cent; (3) ware- house tax and surtax of 100 per cent; (4) transit tax and surtax of 100 per cent; (5) wharfage charges; (6) consumption taxes on liquors; (7) special dues; (8) porterage dues (longshoremen's charges); (9) consular fees. The import duties are divided into 38 classes. The importation of commodities included in the first class is entirely prohibited. Articles mentioned in the second class are admitted free of duty and include among other products certain chemicals, live animals, all kinds of instruments and apparatus, machines, agricultural machin- ery, almost everything used in construction work from bricks to iron and steel beams and doors, windows, staircases, etc., iron and steel bridges, rails, etc. The goods mentioned in the classes 3 to 38 are subject to duties ranging from 1 centavo to CO sucres per kilo (from one-fourth cent to about $14 per pound). Practically all the rates are specific. GUIANAS (BRITISH, DUTCH, AND FRENCH). The area of the three sections into which the Guianas are divided is estimated at about 167,000 square miles, and the population at about 400,000. British Guyma covers more than half of the total area, and contains about three-fourths of the entire population. The commerce of these colonies during the latest year for which information is available, was as follows: Table 70. — Commerce of British, French, and Dutch Guianas IN THE Latest Available Year.

The only exception is found in the exports of Dutch Guiana, of which a gi-eater quantity goes to the United States than to the Netherlands. GUIANA, BRITISH. [Area, 90,277 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 295,122.] The total commerce of British Guiana in the year ended March, 1906, the latest year for which statistics are available, was §17,033,000, of which $7,709,000 were imports and $9,324,000 exports. Of the imports 29.7 per cent was from the United States, and of the exports 17.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with British Guiana show that the imports from that country have decreased from $4,326,975 in 1890 to $3,795,358 in 1900 and $1,213,813 in 1907, and the exports thereto from $2,100,345 in 1890 to $1,915,192 in 1900 and $1,847,147 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. This colony, with an area exceeding that of Great Britain, has a population of less than 300,000. Its economic development took place under conditions of negro slavery, the slaves being intro- duced from the West Indies, and was based almost exclusively on the production of sugar on large plantations. Since the abolition of slavery, contract labor, mainly of Indian coolies, has enabled the large plantation owners to continue the cultivation of sugar on a profitable basis, so that the sugar industry in Britisli Guiana does not show the same tendency toward deterioration as in most of the West India islands. About half of all the cultivated land in the colony is under sugar cane, and because of the fertility of the soil, improved processes of production, and the excellent quality of the sugar the planters are able to hold their own against the com- petition of European beet sugar, and the so-called Demerara sugars command very high prices in the English markets. COMMERCE. The exports of sugar from British Guiana oscillate between 200 and 300 million pounds and usually represent about nine-tenths of the exports. The value of the total exports from British Guiana fluctuates between 8 and 11 million dollars and usually depends on the quantity of sugar exported as much as on the price in the world market. Other important articles of export are by-products of the sugar industry, such as molasses and rum, and in 1905 these three articles represented more than 90 per cent of the total exports of merchandise. In addition to this, exports of gold dust and bullion have been developing within the last fifteen years, and while in the beginning they represented the product of very primi- tive methods of washing the gold dust found along the rivers, at present scientific methods of gold mining are gradually being introduced. While the population does not show any tendency to increase, the imports into Guiana show a decided tendency to decline. The highest mark which they reached during the last fifteen years was in the fiscal year 1894, when the merchandise imported had a value of $9,347,000, while during the eight years 1896 to 1903 they were below 7 million dollars and in 1905 $7,709,000. The imports consist mainly of foodstuffs and other articles of con- sumption, namely, large quantities of flom* and rice used by the Indian coolies, dried fish, textiles, and spirituous liquors. An- other important class of imports, however, is made up of ma- terials needed in the sugar industry, such as coal, fertilizers, and machinery. In 1905 the imports of machinery amounted to over $300,000, those of coal to $118,000, and fertilizers to $620,000, the imports for that particular year being rather below the normal. The trade of British Guiana is mainly with the United King- dom, the United States, and Canada. The imports from the United Kingdom are over one-half, and the exports to the United Kingdom about 40 per cent, of the total. The United States sup- plies a little less than one-third of the imports and takes from one- third to one-fomth of the exports. Canada figm-es lai-gely in the exports from British Guiana, of which it takes a share about equal to that of the United States, while the imports from Canada are only 3 to 4 per cent of the total. The sugar exported from British Guiana goes mainly to the United States and to Canada, which took about 40 per cent each, while most of the remainder goes to the United ICingdom. Of the rum, over four-fifths goes to the United Kingdom, which also takes practically all the gold bullion exported. To the markets of British Guiana the United States supplies almost all the wheat flour, most of the meat products, and most of the grain, while the United Kingdom ships about 90 per cent of the textiles, about four-fifths of the machinery, almost all the fertilizers, and most of the manufactm-ed articles of iron, India rubber, hats, haberdashery and millinery, bags and sacks, malt liquors, drugs, etc., and most of the coal. The imports from the British East Indies consist of large consignments of rice, for the use of the coolies. GUIANA, DUTCH. [.Vrea, 46,060 square miles; population in 1905, 75,465.] The total commerce of Dutch Guiana in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $4,416,000, of which $2,635,000 were imports and $1,781,000 exports. Of the imports, 20.9 percent was from the United States, and of the exports 38.9 i^er cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Dutch Guiana show that the imports from that country increased from $574,114 in 1890 to $1,230,412 in 1900 and fell off to $690,911 in 1907, and the exports thereto increased from .$279,519 in 1890 to $493,985 in 1900 and $519,504 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMIMERCIAI. A^tERICA IN 1907. 41 COMMERCE. In view of the small population, being an average of only about IJ persons per square mUe, a very small part of the large area of Dutch Guiana is economically exploited. Agriculture is the main industry of the population, of which 26,000, or more than 60 per cent of the people economically employed, are engaged in the fields, while the gold-mining industry', evidently on the decline, employs about 2,600 people, as against 3,400 in 1900. The majority of the population consists of descendants of former slaves, slavery having been abolished in 1863. Under slaven,^ sugar and coffee planta- tions were the basis of the economic prosperity of this colony. After emancipation many of its large plantations were broken up, and the population began to grow only within recent years, mainly by means of the importation of Indian coolies. The exports still consist mainly of agricultural products and small ciuantities of gold. The total value of the exports was over 2 million dollars annually during the years 1897 to 1901, and since then it has oscillated be- tween 11,500,000 and $1,800,000. The exports of sugar vary be- tween 15 and 25 million pounds. In 1905 they amounted to 18§ million pounds, valued at $586,000. The exports of cacao repre- sent in some years a higher value. In 1899 they amounted to 8,500,000 pounds, worth $1,141,000, but since then they have been rapidly falling off, declining to 7 million pounds in 1901, less than 2 million pounds in 1904, though for 1905 they increased again to 3,700,000 pounds. The main reason of the decline is probably to be found in the Krullote (witchbroom) plague, and the increased exports of 1905 indicate that the efforts to combat that plague have been at least partially successful. The exports of coffpe are small, amounting in 1905 to 232,000 pounds, valued at $19,000. The exports of gold in 1905 were $564,000, the highest on record during the decade. The value of the imports as a rule is higher than that of the exports, being from 2 to 3 million dollars annually and within recent years nearer the latter figure. They consist mainly of l)read- stuffs, such as flour, rice, of which about 10 million pounds are im- ported annually for the consumption of the coolies, textiles, such as cotton manufactures and ready-made clothing, meat products, and alcoholic liquors. The imports of machinery are considerable in \-icw of the small population, amounting to $98,000 in 1905, and as much as $170,000 and over in earlier years. The trade of this colony is mainly with the mother countrj- and the United States. About half of the imports come from the Netherlands and one-fifth to one-fourth from the United States. In 1905 the proportion was as follows: From the Netherlands, 58 per cent; from the United States, 21 per cent, and from all other countries 21 per cent. This proportion is practically constant, having scarcely changed since 1901, when it was 48 per cent, 20 per cent, and 32 per cent. Of the exports, 41.7 per cent went to the Netherlands, 38.9 per cent to the United States, and 19.4 per cent to all other countries. The im- ports from Dutch Guiana to the United States consist largely of cacao and sugar, and the diief exports from the United States are breadstuffs and provisions. Detailed statements of the foreign trade of this colony will be found on pages 68, 69, 76, 96, and 97. GUIANA, FRENCH. [Area, 30,500 square miles; population in 1901, 32,908.] The total commerce of French Guiana in 1904, the latest year for which statistics are available, was $4,279,000, of which $2,257,000 were imports and $2,022,000 exports. Of the imports 8.9 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports only 1 percent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with French Guiana show that llie imports from that countrj- were $17,647 in 1890, .$3", 564 in 1900, and $33,922 in 1907, and the exports thereto $160,933 in 1890, $189,910 in 1900, and $294,970 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all ca.ses. COMMERCE. Within the last decade, the foreign trade of French Guiana has shown a slight tendency to increase. The exports have fluc- tuated between $1,200,000 and $2,400,000, while the imports were usually several hundred thousand dollars larger. This is explained bj'-the fact that French Guiana serves as a penal colony, and there- fore contains a comparatively large unproductive population. WTiile the natural conditions of climate and soil would permit of some agricultural development, very little has ever been attempted in that direction, and one is therefore not surprised to find that from 90 to 95 per cent of the exports consist of auriferous minerals, aixd that the exports of other merchandise are almost too small to deser\'e any mention. In 1904 exports of phosphates for fertilizing purposes amounted to $41,000 and shipments of rose essence amounted to $37,000. About 95 per cent of the gold was shipped to France and the rest to Switzerland. Most of the fertilizers went to the United States. The imports consisted mainly of food products, textiles, and other articles of domestic consumption, as is found to be the case in all minor Latin-American countries. In 1904 the main items of imports were as follows: Flour, $186,000; spirits, wihes, and malt liquors together, $324,000; cattle, $103,000; salt pork, $89,000; and salt beef, $48,000. Other food products imported were vege- tables, $81,000, and sugar, $59,000. The imports of cotton manu- factures amounted to $152,000, while the bulk of the remaining imports consisted of such articles as candles, chinaware, glassware, jewelry, leather manufactures, oil, paper manufactures, soap, etc. Almost 70 per cent of these imports came from France, which en- joys the privilege of free trade with its colony. Next in importance in supplying the slight demand were the British coloni(>s, probably the West Indies, and the United States, the latter supplying about $200,000 worth, or less than 10 per cent of the total. Even of the wheat flour imported, only one-fourth came from the United States and three-fourths from France, which is explained by the fact that France pays a drawback duty on flour ground in France from im- ported wheat. The main articles in which tlie United States com- peted to some degree successfully with France were salt pork and beef, lard and butter, and cotton-seed oil, of which latter the United States supplied two-thirds of the total imported. Of petroleum, the United States sent only $16,000 worth, as against $33,000 from France, probably of Russian origin. It is noteworthy that the United States sent practically no textiles, no leather manufactures, very little iron manufactures — in brief, very small quantities of manufactures in general. Detailed information regarding the trade of French Guiana are gi-en in the statistical appendix, and ^vill be found on images 69, 77, 97, and 98. HAITI. [Area, 10,204 square miles; population estimated at 1,,'5')",000.] Haiti has no official record of its foreign commerce. An estimate for 1900, based upon the known value of exports to and imports from that island by the principal commercial countries of the world, puts the total commerce of Haiti in that year at $6,175,000, of which about $4,900,000 were imports and about $1,275,000 exports. Of the imports practically three-fourths was drawn from the United States and of the exports an even larger proportion was sent to the United States. In the latest report the British con.sul quotes an e.^timate of the total value of imports into Haiti for the twelve monllis ended September, 1905, namely, $3,871,000, of wliich $2,747,000, or 71 per cent, is said to have come from the I'nited States. No similar estimate for exports is available. The oflicial figures of the I'nited States with reference to its tnide with Haiti show that imports from Haiti have decrea.^ed from $2,421,221 in IS!)0 to $1,184,797 in 1900 and $1,274,678 in 1907, and exports thereto have aL^o decreased from $5,335,068 in 1890 to $2,996,689 in 1900 and $2,916,104 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. The only relial)le thila on the trade of Haiti lor recent years are compiled from foreign sources. In 1899-1900 the total import.'! were estimated l)y a German aulliority at $-1,900,000, ili.^tribuled among the principal nations as follows: United States, $3,700,000; France, 42 COMMERCIAL A^IERICA IN 1907. $450,000; Great Britain and colonies, $425,000, and Germany, $200,000. In 1901 the imports were estimated at §5,500,000. In 1902, owing to the revohition, they are said to have declined 30 per cent. The exports in 1901 were estimated at $1,275,000; in 1902 at $1,000,000. The data of imports from Haiti into the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany, in 1905, justify an esti- mate of the total value of exports from Haiti at $5,000,000. From October 1, 1903, to June 30, 1904, 100,000,000 pounds of coffee were exported, being 30,000,000 pounds in excess of the ex- ports of any previous year. But during the twelve months ended September, 1906, the exports of coffee again fell to 50,000,000 pounds. In 1904, 3,017,015 pounds of cotton were exported, against 3,260,271 pounds in 1903 and 2,000,000 pounds in 1902. In the fiscal year 1906 the exports of cotton amounted to 3,865,216 pounds. There were also exported in 1906, 6,208,289 pounds and 1,818 sacks of cotton seed, against 275,847 pounds in 1904 and 376,300 pounds- in 1903. The quantity of cacao shipped from October 1, 1902, to September 30, 1903, was 4,990,520 pounds; from October, 1905, to September, 190G, 4,582,403 pounds; of logwood, 168,364,191 pounds and 120,252,960 pounds, respectively; of yellow wood, 623,955 pounds and 1,097,000 pounds; of guaiac (lignum -vitse), 10,378,452 pounds and 4,837,560 pounds. Other articles exported in considerable quantities in 1906 are: Hemp, 669,853 pounds; orange peel, 494,492 pounds; hides and skins, 398,479 pounds; wax, 149,095 pounds; cedar wood, 613,000 pounds; tortoise shells, pis- tachio nuts, honey, besides small quantities of copper ore. The official figures of the United States of the trade between the United States and Haiti (see table on pages 153 and 154) differ consid- erably from the German estimate given above. There was a sharp decline in importsfrom Haiti— from $2,747,000 in 1895 to $827,000 in 1899, or to less than one-third. Since 1900 the annual importation has averaged about a million dollars. Logwood, $256,000, forms nearly one-fifth of the total; coffee, $288,000, nearly one-fourth. Next fol- low cacao, $267,000; hides and skins, $122,000, and cabinet woods, $143,000. There has been a marked decline in the imports of logwood and coffee since 1900. In cacao and hides and skins there has been, on the whole, a steady increase. In cabinet woods the increase in imports has been almost uninterrupted since 1899. French imports from Haiti in 1905 were §4,778,000, against §4,300,000 in 1904 and §6,180,000 in 1903. In 1905 they consisted practically of thi-ee articles: Coffee, $3,705,000; cacao, $281,000, and woods, §679,000. In the preceding year there were considerable imports of raw cotton, amounting to .§200,000, but in 1905 these had fallen to such a small quantity that they were not separately stated. In the British statistics of imports, Haiti and Santo Domingo are combined. They show for 1904 a total of $337,000 (a slight increase over previous years), consisting mainly of logwood, $226,000, and raw cotton, §92,000, the trade in logwood having been practically sta- tionary since 1900, while that in raw cotton was practically nothing in 1902 . After 1904 the imports again declined to §153 ,000 in 1905 and were $209,000 in 1906, when logwood amounted to $156,000, or three- fourths of the total. The German figm-es show a decline in imports from Haiti from $1,108,000 in 1900 to $100,000 in 1905. In 1900 Germanimportsof coffee were §394,000, and of cacao §564,000. In 1905 both had dwindled to practically nothing, leaving cotton and hides as principal items. In logwood, too, the trade has been largely diverted from Germany to France. The United States exports to Haiti, as shown on pages 1-53 and 154, have declined almost uninterruptedly since 1895 — from $5,092,801 in that year to .§2,916,000 in 1907. The most important item in 1907 was cotton cloth, $608,000, or almost one-fourth of the total. Exports of cotton cloth to Haiti have remained practically stationary for the decade. Wheat flour, §522,000, the next largest item among the exports, shows a great decline as compared with $818,000 in 1895. A similar decline is shown in exports of provisions, the two principal items of which are pork, §136,000, and lard, $254,000, in 1907, against §973,000 and §289,000 in 1895. French exports to Haiti have declined from $1,249,000 in 1903 to §1,094,000 in 1904 and §882,000 in 1905, made up mainly of fancy goods and notions, $177,000; cotton cloth, $110,000; wines, $88,000; medicines, $104,000, and clothing and underwear, $94,000. British exports to Haiti and Santo Domingo in 1906 were $1,603,000, showing a considerable increase over the preceding four years. They consisted mainly of cotton cloth, $1,198,000, besides which there were $48,000 of empty sacks, $45,000 of woolen goods, and §62,000 of metal goods. German exports to Haiti declined from $251,000 in 1900 to $179,000 in 1905, or about one-third, which is a trifle compared to the decline of imports into Germany. The princi- pal item in German exports in 1905 was earthen, stone, and china ware, .§33,000, while in 1900 the principal item was rice, §53,000, which in 1905 dwindled to $18,000. Next in importance in 1905 were cotton goods, $26,700; iron and manufactures thereof, $19,500; instruments, machines, and vehicles, $9,500. Thus, while Ger- many has been absorbing more and more of the carrying trade of Haiti and while most of the business of the Republic is carried on by German firms, the goods which form the subject of this trade have been derived to an increasing degree from countries other than Germany and the Haitian exports to Germany have become insiainificant. The tariff of Haiti, containing over 1,600 schedules, provides specific import duties on a large number of products. In addition to these specific duties, there are surtaxes of 50 per cent, 33J per cent, and one of 25 per cent in gold. There are also surtaxes of 20 and 10 per cent, respectively, on the export duties, which are levied on Haitian products, such as mahogany, animals, different kinds of wood, cacao and coffee, cotton, gums, hides and skins, and raw sugar. In addition to the duties and surtaxes mentioned, special taxes and dues, such as watch dues, pilot, sanitary inspection, water, and naturalization dues, are levied on imports, which are specified separately for the several ports. MEXICO. [Area, 767,258 square miles; population in 1900, 13,607,259.] The total commerce of Mexico in the fiscal year 1907, was (includ- ing bullion and specie) §239,728,000, of which $116,215,000 were imports and §123,513,000 exports. Of the imports, 62.9 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 70.9 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with ilexico show that the imports of merchandise only from that country have grown from §22,690,915 in 1890 to §28,646,053 in 1900 and §57,233,527 in 1907, and the exports of merchandise thereto from $13,285,287 in 1890 to $34,974,961 in 1900 and $66,248,098 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. MANUFACTURES. The Government statistics for 1902 enumerate 6,234 industrial establishments, employing 117,992 laborers, with a total production valued at about §70,000,000 United States gold. There are 2.082 sugar mills, in which the juice of the cane is extracted by wooden cylinders and boiled down into a dark-brown substance called "panocha," in the form of small cakes called "'panelas" or " piloncillos. " More important are the cotton mills, engaged in the making of cotton cloth called "manta," a coarse unbleached fabric, sold almost exclusively in the local markets. In 1904-5 the mills consumed about 68,000,000 pounds of cotton, a large portion of which was from the United States. At the end of the fiscal year 1905 the number of factories in operation was 128, by far the greatest number being located in the central States, Puebla leading with 29. The largest company is the Compafiia Industrial de Orizaba, owning nearly one-fifth of the total cotton-manufacttiring outfit of«the Repub- COJkBlERCIAL .UIERICA IX 190: 43 lie. As high as 15, 16, 30, and even 40 per cent dividends are men- tioned as the profits of some of the cotton factories. Nearly every State has its flour mills, the total number being 433, Michoacan leading with 74. They are not sufficient, however, to supply the local demand. There are 21 iron and steel works in the country, one of the largest being the Mexican National Iron and Steel Company, located close to the Cerro del Merrado. the famous iron mountain of Durango. However, all others will be eclipsed by the works of La Compaiiia Fundidora de Hierro y Acero de Monterey, in the State of Nuevo Leon, which are approaching completion, with a capital of $10,000,- 000 Mexican silver (.$4,980,000 United States gold). Torreon, an- other town in Nuevo Leon, is also an important center of the iron industry. There were 242 tobacco factories, Jalisco leading with 40. The largest manufactories of cigars and cigarettes are in the Federal Dis- trict and in the States of Puebla and Veracruz. COMMERCE. A prominent feature of the trade of Mexico is the preponderance of the United States both in imports and exports. In 1893 the imports from the United States were 60 per cent of the total imports and the exports to the United States 73 per cent of the total exports. In 1907 the United States furnished 62.9 per cent of the imports and took 70.9 per cent of the exports. Thus, while there has been a great increase in the trade between the United States and Mexico, both in imports and exports, the preponderance of the United States has remained about the same as it was fourteen years ago. Next in im- portance is the United Kingdom, the Mexican imports from which have increased from 54 million dollars in 1893 to 11| millions in 1907, while the exports to that country, after attaining a maximum of 20.8 millions in 1906, declined to 15.9 millions in 1907. The relative positions of France and Germany during this period have been reversed, both in imports and exports. While in 1893 the imports from France were nearly double those from Germany, and the ex- ports to France were also slightly in excess of those to Germany, in 1901 the imports from Germany for the first time exceeded those from France, and the divergence became further accentuated in 1903, when imports from Germany exceeded those from France by 3 millions. In 1906-7 the imports from Germany amounted to 12.2 millions, and exceeded those of France by 3.4 millions, and even those from the United Kingdom by about half a million dollai-s. The' relative positions of Germany and France in the export trade of Mexico having been successively reversed, finally settled down in 1901 in favor of Germany, since which date the exports to Germany have risen to nearly three times those to France, the exports to Germany in 1905, 37,310.000, being nearly equal to the exports to the United Kingdom, .$7,775,000; in 1907 they exceeded 10 million dollars. Next in importance is Spain, the imports from which into Mexico, aside from slight fluctuations, rose steadily from $2,212,000 in 1893 to $3,966,000 inl907, while the exports to Spain from Mexico, $276,000 in 1893, rose with greater fluctuations to $1,080,000 in 1904 and $1,994,000 in 1907. In exports from Mexico Spain was surpassed almost during the entire period bj' Belgium, which in 1901 took from Mexicogoodstothevalueof.$2,172,000, and in 1907, $2,654,000. The imports into Mexico from Belgium, too, have for a time shown a re- markable rise, from $398,000 in 1893 to $2,590,000 in 1903, declining to $2,180,000 in 1904 and $1, .561,000 in 1907. However, a consider- able part of the Belgian trade probably consists of transit trade origi- nating with other European countries. Among other countries may be mentioned CuV^a, the exports to which, insignificant in 1897, rose to $971,000 in 1898, remaining practically at $2,500,000 during the four following years, then declining to $1,186,000 in 1907. This rapid increase was largely due to the exports of live stock needed to restock the Cuban plantations devastated during the war. The recent decline in this trade seems to indicate that the process of restocking is nearly completed. A detailed statement of the distribution of the foreign trade of Mexico by countries since 1893 will be found in the statistical appendix, on page 77, and the data in regard to the imports and exports of the main articles of commerce on pages 98 to 100. Mexico being a country of recent economic development, manu- factured products naturally predominate in its imports, while the exports are nearly all made up of various raw materials. In the following two tables (71 and 72) a comparison is made of both the imports and exports as classified in a few lai-ge groups in the original reports of the Mexican Government for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1896, 1901, and 1906. A comparison of the earliest and last years shows a considerable increase in all of these groups, but some of them have grown much more rapidly than others. The increase seems to have been slight in the imports of manufac- tures ready for consumption, such as cloth, chemical and pharma- ceutical preparations, spirituous liquors, paper, vehicles, and arms and explosives. Thus, while the value of the imports of all these groups has increased from $17,157,000 to .$25,982,000, in 1896 they constituted over 40 per cent of the imports, and in 1906 only 24 per cent. On the other hand, the imports of machinery have doubled, those of animal products have increased 170 per cent, vegetable products 133 per cent, and mineral products (which group includes fuel and metals) over 417 per cent. The growing industrialization of Mexico seems on the one hand to have enabled it better to supply its own demands for simpler articles of consump- tion, while on the other hand, for the same reasons, its demand for food products, raw materials, and machinery has been rapidly Table 71. -Imports into Mexico, Fisc.\l Years 1896, 1901, and 1906, BY Great Groups."

At the same time this industrial development has not yet pro- ceeded far enough to change the nature of its exports, as is shown b)' Table 72. The mineral development of Mexico within the last decade has increased the ratio of the mineral products to the total exports from 68.4 per cent in 1896 lo 71 per cent in 1906, while the exports of animal products and manufactured articles, though showing a slight absolute increase, have proportionately declined. The precious metals still constitute considerably more than half of the total exports of Mexico. Within the short space of ten years silver exports have almost doubled and gold exports have increased fivefold. The largest item in the import, trade of Mexico during the last twelve years was machinery and apparatus, due to the rapid develop- ment of the mining industry and railway building, as shown by the fact that the mineral production, valuiHi at $29,374,000 United StaU'S gold in 1898, wm valued in 1903 at $38,138,000 United States gold, whili- the l(>ngth of railways increased from 9.049 milra in 1898 44 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. to 12,227 miles in 1905. The imports of machinery in 1905, valued at $9,890,000, are greatly in excess of like imports previous to 1904, the nearest approach to that figure having been made in 1903, with $9,771,000. Machinery forms, nearly half of the iron and steel im- ports, which reached a value of $20,218,000 in 1905; the next largest item in that group in 1903 was rails, and then construction materials. But the slackening of railway building within the most recent years reversed the order, the imports of construction material amount- ing to $4,145,000 and of rails to $1,805,000 in 1905. In nearly all classes of iron and steel manufactures the imports from the United States constitute more than half, often two-thirds or more, of the total. Cotton and cotton goods are second in importance among the im- ports, with a total value of $10,261,000 for 1905. The largest item in this class is raw cotton, $4,099,000, which was five times greater than like imports of 1900; next came cotton cloths, $3,450,000, that item having been practically stationary during the entire period, with a maximum of §4,200,000 in 1896. Practically all the raw cotton comes from the United States, and is required to supply the defi- ciency in home-grown cotton for the Mexican cotton mills, which in 1904—5 consumed 35 million pounds of foreign raw cotton in addition to the crop of their own land. In the imports of cotton yams and piece goods the United Kingdom far exceeds all competitors. Coal, $2,552,000, forms the next largest item in Mexico's imports, and associated with it is coke, §1,089,000. The growth of coal im- ports has been remarkable, the figure for 1905 being more than four times that of 1894, while the figure for coke increased threefold. Nearly all the coal, namely, §1,980,000 worth, came from the United States, the United Kingdom ranking next with $525,000; in coke also the United States came first, contributing §835,000 worth, or almost 80 per cent, though only two years earlier more than half came from Germany. The weight of the total coal imported was 1,116,684 metric tons. The lumber imports were $2,314,000 in 1905, this figuje being five times that of 1894. Practically all this lumber comes from the United States, and the same is true of furniture and other manufac- tures of wood. Among other large import items are wines, §1,931,000, of which more than half came from Spain, and of the remainder by far the larger part came from France; vehicles, §1,964,000, nearly two- thirds of which came from the United States; silk and manufactures thereof, §2,026,000, of which France furnished about one-half; paper and manufactures thereof, §2,267,000, in which the United States leads, with Germany second ; gunpowder and other explosives, §1,306,000, nearly three-fourths of which came from the United States; copper and manufactures thereof, $3,116,000, mostly from the United States; woolen cloths, §1,467,000, in which the United I^ngdom leads, closely followed by France, with Germany third; the imports of wheat and other cereals in 1903 were $1,345,000, of which §1,297,530 came from the United States, but since then these imports declined to §217,000 in 1905.

While from 1895 to 1899 silver was mostly exported in bars, the largest export item since 1900 has been argentiferous lead and cop- per, three-fourths of which goes to the United States, which takes also most of the other forms of silver and silver ore. Nearly all the gold is exported in the form of bullion, of which the United States takes eight-ninths. The value of the copper exports, 14 million dollars in 1905, was in excess of the gold exports during the same year. None of the other exports of minerals are of importance except lead. .$3,600,000 in 1905, 70 per cent of which went to the United States. Coffee exports have declined from .$6,295,000 in 1894 to $4,304,000 in 1905, or over 30 per cent. The decline, evidently due to the low prices prevailing during recent years, has been almost continuous since 1895. More than one-half of the Mexican coffee went to the United States, and over one-fourth to Germany. The exports of henequen, only §3,591,000 in 1894, have increased to $13,666,000 in 1905, or nearly fourfold. The increase in exports of istle has been in almost the same proportion. Practically all the henequen and istle go to the United States. There has been a steady growth in the exports of rubber, to which considerable attention is given in Mexico, but so far the amount is small, being .$334,000 in 1905. The exports of cattle increased steadily until 1901, since which time they have fallen off rapidly, being smaller in 1905 than at any time since 1895. Of the §1.090,000 worth of cattle exported in 1905, about two-thirds went to Cuba and nearly one-fifth to the United States. Cuba also took nearly all the horses exported. Hides and skins exported in 1905 were valued at §3,1.34.000, the largest item being kid skins, $1,690,000, practically aU of which went to the United States. .AMERICAN INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO. American investments in Mexico aggregate probably more than $750,000,000. In 1902, according to the report of the United States consul, 1,117 American companies, firms, and individuals had at that time invested in Mexico §500.000.000 gold, in round figures, •and the increase since that time has probably averaged o-\'er 50 mil- lions annually. About half of this has been invested since 1898. About two-thirds of this total is invested in railroads. All the important railroads in Mexico (except the Interoceanic. the Mex- ican, and the Tehuantepec) are owned chiefly Ijy Americans, the amount of stock held by others than Americans being com- paratively small. Of the total investments in Mexican railways, 80 per cent belongs to Americans. The Mexican Central represents the largest single American interest in Mexico, ha\'ing expended for the construction and equii^ment of the road to the end of 1902 the sum of §158,999,979. The Mexican National is next in rank, with an investment of §107,350.000. Next in importance is the mining industry, in which Americans have inveisted nearly §100,000.000. The largest share of this, or §27,800.000, is in Sonora mines, §21,000.000 in Chihuahua, $6,500,000 in Dm-ango, and §6.000,000 in Coahuila. Investments in agi'icultm-al enterprises amount to about §30,000,000. In manufactories and foundries about $10,000,000 had Ijeen in- vested up to 1902, but the figure doubtless is very much larger now. in view of the enormous development that has taken place, especially in the State of Sonora and at Monterey. In 1902 the State of Sinaloa headed the list with §4,000,000, invested mostly in sugar refineries; the State of Nuevo Leon came next, with $2,500,000, invested mostly in the smelters at Monterey; the Federal District came thii-d, with $2,400,000. In banking $4,250,000 was invested in 1902, of wliich §2,700,000 was in the Federal District and $1,500,000 in Nuevo Leon. Other investments exceeding §1,000,000 are as follows: Archi- tects, engineers, contractors, §3,000,000; assay offices and labora- COJ^IMERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. 45 tones, $7,000,000; brokers, conunission men, general agents, $1,500,000; electric light, telegraph, telephone, etc., $6,000,000; lumber and sawmills, $1,600,000, and real-estate dealers, build- ing companies, etc., $3,000,000. CURRENCY. In December, 1904, a bill was passed for the refoiTn of the existing currency which was intended to create a stable silver currency as a transition step to the gold currency. The chief pro\'isions of the law were the arbitran,' fixing of the value of the Mexican silver dollar, which contains 24.4391 gi-ams of fine silver and 2.6342 grams of cop- per, at 49.8 cents United States currency, which also happens to be the value of the Japanese yen, and is the equivalent of 75 centi- grams of fine gold. The unlunited coinage of silver was abolished and the right to issue silver coin reserved to the Government. The law came into force May 1, 1905, and immediately showed its benefi- cent effect on Mexican commerce and industry. The stability of the currency, which removed the extreme fluctuations in foreign exchange, has stimulated international dealings and is expected to attract foreign capital to even a greater extent than has been the case heretofore. The Government has been able without any difficulty to maintain the newly established value of the silver dollar. It has rapidly introduced considerable quantities of gold currency in circulation, the amounts of gold coined during the fiscal years 1906 and 1907 being $20,804,700 and $11,578,500, respectively. The continuous rise of silver in the world markets during the more recent period proved a potent factor in making gold part of the national circu- lation, since the Govenunent was able to and actually did sell with profit silver in exchange for gold to be used as circulating medium at home. It is reported that considerable quantities of gold coins have been put into circulation by the Government, though natuially the change from the former system of an exclusive silver cucula- tion to one composed of gold and silver must proceed gradually. Both the Government and the principal banks hold now consid- erable quantities of gold as a part of their reserve, and exchange funds for their circulating bank notes. The present tariff law of Mexico took effect September 1, 1905, when rates were revised to bring them in accord with the changed standard of value. The tariff is highly protective on all products which it is intended to produce at home. The duties are all specific. Raw materials needed in the production of manufactured articles are mostly admitted free or at low rates of duty. In revising the tariff most of the surtaxes which were formerly imposed upon imports have been abolished with the exception of the municipal surtax of IJ per cent on the amount of the duties and the stamp duties on tobacco, which are paid not only on imported products, but on products of domestic manufacture as well. An export duty is le\'ied on certain kinds of wood, grasses, henequen, istle, and hides and skins. [A detailed discussion of conditions in Mexico, entitled "Com- mercial Mexico in 1904," was published by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor in Februarj^ 1905.] MIQUELON, LANGLEY, AND ST. PIERRE (FRENCH). [Area, 93 square miles; population in 1902, 6,482.] This group of islands lies off the south coast of Newfoundland and, being of an extremely rocky character and unfit for agi-iculture, tlie inhabitants are chiefly engaged in the cod-fishing industrj-. The imports in 1900 were valued at $1,013,000, a])out one-half being from France. The exports in the same year were $1,218,000, of wliicji about nine-tenths represented domestic products, chiefly fresh or dried cod, cod-liver oil, etc. The trade of Miquelon, Langley, and St. Pierre with the United States is inconsiderable, imports in 1906 from the United States having been $255 in value, and exports thereto $105,096. Formerly the exports from the United States to this colony ranged from $200,000 to nearly §500,000 annually, and imports in the five years 1894 to 1898, inclusive, averaged about $150,000 per annum; but since 1900 the trade has decreased until in 1907 the imports from these islands amounted to only $515 and the exports thereto $49,737. COMMERCE. The imports into Miquelon have been rapidly declining within the last decade, after reacjiing the higlicst point of 2h million dollars in 1898 and 1899. In 1901 they amounted to $1,879,000, in 1903 to $1,600,000, in 1905 to $1,050,000, and in 1906 to $1,013,000 only. They consist mainly of breadstuffs, meats, spirituous liquors, sugar, vegetables, etc. The large imports of salt used in the preparation of fish for export deserve some mention, and even these have fallen off greatly. In 1897 they amounted to almost 80 million pounds, falling off to 16 million pounds in 1905. as a result of the de- creased exports of pickled codfish from 75 million pounds in 1897 to 24 million pounds in 1905. Practically the entire exports from Miquelon are sent to France, which supplies about ono-lialf of the imports, but Canada and the United States also contribute fairly important shares of the latter. From the United States the island of Miquelon obtains most of its wheat flour, sugar, tobacco, petroleum, anthracite, and a very small share of the textiles; also most of its salt beef and pork. About 95 per cent of the live animals come from Canada, as well as about 90 per cent of the butter and almost all its fodder and all the coke. Most of the beverages and the manu- factured articles, such as textiles, ii-on, etc., are brought from France. NEWFOUNDLAND. [Area, 40,200 square miles: population in 1901, 217,037 (exclusive of Labrador, with an area of 120,000 square miles and a population of 3,634).] The total commerce of Newfoundland in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1906, was $22,500,000, of which $10,414,000 were imports and $12,086,000 exports. Of the imports 34.7 per cent was from the United States, and of the exports 10.6 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Ne^vfoundland including Labrador show that the imjjorts from that country have grown from $354,003 in 1890 to $562,759 in 1900 and $1,478,259 in 1907, and the exports thereto from $1,221,704 in 1890 to $2,017,524 in 1900 and $2,920,349 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. Considering its small population, Newfoundland has quite a large and rapidly growing foreign trade. The exports increa,sed from $6,184,000 in 1890 to $12,086,000 in 1906, or neady doubled in sixteen years. The imports increased with almost equal rapidity, namely, from $6,453,000 in 1890 to $10,414,000 in 1906. Fi.shiiig being the main industry of Newfoundland, the products of this industry naturally constitute much the greater part of the total ex- ports. In 1906 the exjwrts of dried cod amounted to 166 million pounds, valued at $7,865,000, or over 65 per cent of the total exports. Other fish exported amounted to $808,000; the exports of various oils obtained in the fishing industry, such as cod oil, seal oil, and whale oil, amounted to $874,0^0, and sealskins to $314,000. Thus, all the products of the fisheries together amounted to $9,861,000, or about 82 per cent of the exports. The only other important items were iron and cojjjjer ore, exports of iron ore having raijidly incrca.sed from less than $59,000 in 1891 to $1,100,000 in 1906, while the exports of (•oi)|5er ore average about $400,000. The.se exports of Newfoundland find a rather extensive market both in P^uroi)e and in North and South .Vincrica. \\'hilo the United Kingdom lor .several years, beginning with 1902, absorl)ed a greater share of llu>si' export.s than any otlu-r country, in the latest year Brazil, Portugal, and Canada surpassed that country as mar- kets for the goods of Newfoundland. The four countries named 46 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. and the United States and Italy received approximately equal portions of the Newfoundland exports, namely, from about 12 to 18 per cent each, and together they claim between three-quarters and four-fifths of these exports. This wide distribution is mainly found in the exports of the fish products, while the iron ore is sent mainly to Canada, p}Tites altogether to the United States, and the copper ore is taken in about equal shares by the United Kingdom and the United States. The imports of Newfoundland consist, as might be expected, mainly of articles of immediate consumption, such as foodstuffs of animal and vegetable origin, sugar, tea, coal, salt, textiles, and wearing apparel. Like many other countries of the American continents, Newfoundland imports large cjuantities of goods from the United States and the United Kingdom, but it differs from the Latin-American countries in that it buys very little from the Latin countries of Europe or even from Germany. In fact, the main source of supply is Canada, which contributes from 35 to 40 per cent of the imports, while the United Kingdom and the United States contribute normally about 25 per cent each, though in the latest year for which figures are available the exports from the United States have greatly increased, exceeding even those from Canada. Flour constitutes the main item of import, and about two-thirds of it comes from Canada and one-third from the United States. Meat products, particularly salted beef and pork, come almost ex- clusively from the United States, while textiles are supplied mainly by the United Kingdom. For detailed statements in regard to the foreign commerce of New- foundland see the statistical appendix, pages 70, 78, and 101. PARAGUAY. [Area, 157,000 square miles; population in 1899, 630,103.] The total commerce of Paraguay in 1904, the latest year for which statistics are available, was §6,745,000, of which §3,566,000 were im- ports and $3,179,000 exports. Of the imports 3.5 per cent was drawn from the United States, no direct exports to the United States being shown in the Paraguayan report. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Paraguay show that the imports from that coimtry have grown from $1,740 in 1901 to $3,819 in 1907, and the exports thereto from §12,695 in 1901 to $173,560 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. The exports and imports of Paraguay during 1904, according to the report of the chamber of commerce at Asuncion,- amounted to §3,178,819 and §3,565,631, respectively. In 1899 they amounted to §2,900,000 and §2,147,838, respectively. The chief imports in 1904 were as follows: Textiles, §1,151,556; groceries, §619,371; manufactures of iron and steel, §518,792, and beverages, §264,941. The chief exports in 1903 were as follows: Hidesand skins, §1,056,220; yerba mate, §789,843; woods, §585,061; jerked beef, §398,558; tobacco, §323,952; quebracho extract, §300,628, and oranges, $156,173. Of the imports in 1904, the United Kingdom is credited with §1,168,198, or about one-third of the total; Germany with §887,668, or one-fourth of the total; Argentina with §435,544, or one- eighth; France with $311,650, or about 9 per cent of the imports; Italy with $294,809; Spain with §206,652, and the United States with $125,296. The imports from the United Kingdom consist largely of textiles and manufactures of iron and steel. The im- ports from Germany are chiefly textiles, manufactures of iron and steel, and foodstuffs. The imports from Argentina are chiefly food- stuffs; those from France are to a large extent textiles, foodstuffs, and beverages. Beverages occupy the first place in the imports from Italy. Owing to the fact that the exports from Paraguay must pass either through Brazilian or Uruguayan ports, there are no statistics of the distribution of the exports by foreign countries. By far the larger part of the trade passes through the Asuncion custom-house. TARIFF. The import tariff of Paraguay provides for ad valorem rates of duty ranging all the way from 2 to 80 per cent. The new tariff, which went into effect March 16, 1906, divides the imports into ten classes. The first class provides a duty of 35 per cent ad valorem on all articles not specially mentioned; thesecond, vriih a duty of 2 per cent ad valorem, includes iron, steel, and copper bars and plates, and precious stones; the third, 5 per cent ad valorem, includes gold and silver jewelry, scientific instruments, sewing machines, spades, wheat, and other articles; the fourth, 15 per cent ad valorem, includes, among other articles, cast iron in bars, and fire bricks; the fifth, 20 per cent ad valorem, includes flour, unpolished marble, and ammunition; the sixth, 25 per cent ad valorem, firearms, cotton goods, etc.; the seventh, 40 per cent ad valorem, includes all kinds of oils (except petroleum), porcelain, silk goods, etc.; the eighth, 55 per cent ad valorem, harness and other leather goods, coffee, shoes, cigars and cigarettes, confectionery, corn, furniture, ready-made clothing, wines, matches, etc; the ninth, 80 per cent ad valorem, includes alcohol, rum, and playing cards. The tenth class, or free list, includes telegraph wire, cattle for breeding purposes, agricul- tural implements, railway appliances, crude chemicals, locomotives, machinery, Roman cement, steel and iron wire for fencing purposes, etc. PERU. [Area, 695,700 square miles; population estimated at about 4, .500,000.] The total commerce of Peru -in 1905, the latest year for which statistics are available, was §49,086,000, of which $21,068,000 were imports and §28,018,000 exports. Of the imports 16.2 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 9.2 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Peru show that the imports from that country have grown from §351,695 in 1890 to §2.122,543 in 1900 and §4,958,202 in 1907, and the exports thereto from §1,427.301 in 1890 to $1,662,475 in 1900 and §6,075,739 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. Peru lies wholly within the Tropics, and is divided geographically into three regions. The narrow coast region rises to about 4,000 feet, and has a hot, diy climate. The Andes region has a temperate or even cold climate, with considerable rain and snow fall. East of the Andes lies the forest region or "montana," with its fertile river valleys and navigable rivers belonging to the Amazon system. The coast region, although largely a desert, is the most developed part of the country, not only in commerce, for which it is adapted by its position and transportation facilities, but also in agriculture and the manufacturing industries. In the irrigated valleys of the coast there are raised considerable crops of sugar, cotton, rice, corn, coffee, cacao, tobacco, etc. The production of sugar has increased from 95,000 metric tons in 1895 to over 150,000 metric tons in 1906, of which by far the larger part is exported. The cotton out- put for 1904 is estimated officially at 10,000 metric tons. The high- land regions are well adapted for cattle raising, but the industry has undergone very little systematic improvement. An English com- pany has recently imported about 6,000 sheep of improved breeds, with promising results. In spite of the rather primitive condition of the grazing industiy in Peru, the exports of wool during 1905 amounted to about $2,341,000, of which alpaca wool constituted about 80 per cent. The "montaiia" of Peru abounds in rubber, but the systematic exploitation of the rubber regions is retarded by insufficiency of transportation facilities. The principal manufacturing establish- ments are sugar mills, cotton mills (with an annual production of about 20,000,000 yards of cloth, mostly coarse), woolen mills, hat factories, oil presses, cocaine factories, and cigar factories. Almost all of the larger establishments are operated by foreigners. CO^IMERCLVL AMERICA IX 1907. TRANSPORTATION. The transportation facilities of Peru are as yet far from adequate. The railways, of which there were about 1,200 miles in 1905, are con- fined to a large extent to the coast region, where natural obstacles to construction are slight. But as the economic importance of the "montana " is recognized more and more, and its valuable resources are beginning to attract the attention of the large foreign syndicates, the railway lines are gradually extended into the sierra regions, and plans are well advanced for connecting the headwaters of the Ama- zon with the coast by rail. Thus Lima is now connected bj^ rail with Cerro de Pasco, the center of the mining industry, and there is ^ line running from the port of MoUendo to Sicunai, 87 miles from Cuzco. The Sicuani-Cuzco Line is now in course of construction. There is a branch line from Juliaca, on the Mollendo-Cuzco line, to Puno, on Lake Titicaca, by which an outlet is afforded to a part of the Bolivian exports. Most of the railways belong to the State, but are operated by the Peruvian Corporation, in accordance with, the agreement of 1890. Peru is connected by telegraph with Boli^-ia. and there are cable stations at Payta. Callao, Lima, Baranca, and Mollendo. An automobile freight line has recently been estab- lished between Lima and Callao. COMMERCE. The imports into Peru increased from $8,274,000 in 1891 to $21,068,000 in 1905, an increase of about 154 per cent. Exports from Peru increased during the same period from about $8,106,000 to about $28,018,000, or over 246 per cent. The main exports in 1905 (the latest year for which detailed statistics are available) were as follows: Sugar, $8,923,000; minerals, metals, etc., $5,243,000; gums and resins, $4,448,000; wool, $2,341,000; cotton, $2,008,000; guano, $1,391,000; leather and manufactures thereof, $695,000, and cocaine, $567,000. Taken together, these eight articles, in 1905, constituted 91.4 per cent of the total exports from Peru. As is seen from the above enumeration, by far the greater part of the Peruvian exports con- sists of products of agriculture and animal industry, while minerals form a little less than one-fifth of the exports. In Table 74 the expoits from Peru are given by main articles for 1902 to 1905, earlier figures not being available in any form convenient for comparison. A comparison for this short period indicates a mucli larger growth in the exports of products of forestry and animal industry than in those of agriculture. Thus, the exports of gums and resins have increased from $1,800,000 to about $4,450,000, or about two and one- half times; exports of wool haA'e more than doubled, while the ex- ports of cotton have increased about 30 per cent and those of sugar about 50 per cent. As is to be expected, the imports into Pern consist of a much greater variety of articles, mainly for immediate consumption, such as cotton goods, wheat, wines and licjuors, drugs, coal, etc. The only important exception is to be found in the imports of iron and Bteel and machinery, these being largely used in the growing min- ing industrj' of Peru. The imports of the main articles are shown in Table 73. On page 78 will be found a table giving the imports and exports to and from Peru by main countries, which shows that the United Kingdom claimed in 1905 over one-half of the total exports. This proportion holds good almost through the entire period for which the data are given. Chile, Peru's neighbor on the south, comes second, though at a verj' great distance, taking in 1905 less than 4 million dollars' worth of Peruvian exports, after which come the United States, Germany, and France, in the order mentioned. Together these five countries took about 90 per cent of the articles shipped. The same countries furnish Peru with the greater share of its imports, though the predominance of the United Kingdom is Table 73. — Imports (Including Bullion and Specie) into Peru, 1902-1905, by Articles.

In 1905 about 35 per cent were supplied by the United Kingdom, about 16 per cent each by the United States and Germany, and about 6 per cent each by France and Chile. It was shown by Mr. Ilutcheson, special agent of the Department of Com- merce and Labor, that comparing the two five-year periods of 1895- 1899 and 1900-1904, the average imports from the United Stales have 48 COIVIMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. increased IGG.l per cent; those from the United Kingdom, 27.1 per cent; from Germany, 54.6 per cent; from France, 53.5 per cent, and from Italy, 68.7 per cent. The rapid increase in imports from the United States is due largely to the increase in American invest- ments in Peru, which are estimated at present at $25,000,000. The greatest increase is shown in the imports of manufactures of iron and steel, 201.1 per cent. The imports of cotton goods from the United States are still very small, the increase for the two periods named being only 14.7 per cent, as compared with 146.5 per cent in the imports from Ilalj'. This is attributed to the fact that Peru is manu- facturing unbleached cotton goods, which constitute a large part of our exports of cotton manufactures to that country. The imports of breadstuffs, provisions, and other foodstuffs from the United States have increased to a large extent, breadstuffs having advanced from an annual average of §38,200 in 1895-1899 to §446,100 in 1900- 1904, and provisions from §49,500 to $163,000 during the same periods. According to figures published by the Bureau of Statistics, the total exports from the United States to Peru during the fiscal year 1906 were §4,833,307, the principal articles being as follows: Iron and steel and manufactures thereof , §,1518,201; breadstuffs, $693,612; cotton cloth, §97,916; wood and manufactures thereof, $600,521; cars, carriages, etc., §196,512; and chemicals, drugs, etc., §156,459. The imports into the United States from Peru during the same year amounted to §2,454,943, the chief commodities being: Sugar, $757,356; raw cotton, §430,087; chemicals, drugs, etc., $434,746; wool, $286,028; guano, $273,988; goat skins, §257,907, /and rubber, $79,351. The chief ports of Peru are Callao, Mol- lendo, SalaveiTy, Iquitos (on the Amazon), and Payta. There is direct steam communication with Panama and the United King- dom. The merchant marine of Peru is as yet insignificant. The import tariff of Peru consists almost entirely of ad valorem rates of duty, which, in common with the general custom in South American countries, are virtually made specific by means of a valuation tariff fixing the values of merchandise for customs pur- poises. The tariff contains over 3,300 schedules with rates of duty of 10, 20, 25, 40, 45, and 65 per cent ad valorem. A few articles (wheat, flour, opium, kerosene, and beer in bottles) are subject to specific rates. The free list includes, among other products, steel in bars or sheets, copper wire, plows, pumps, coal, Eoman cement, copper, explosives, railway appliances, agricultural implements, fire bricks, all kinds .of machinery, sewing machines, boilers, cranes, etc. SANTO DOMINGO. [Area, 18,045 square miles; estimated population in 1906, 600,0C0.] COMMERCE. The total commerce of Santo Domingo ranges between 6 and 10 mil- lion dollars annually. Since the administration of customs was in- trusted to officials selected by the United States Government both the imports and the exports have materially increased. In 1906 the total trade amounted to §10,825,000, of which the imports were $4,281,000 and the exports $6,-544,000. Of the imports, 58.5 were drawn from the United States, and of the exports 57.3 per cent were sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Santo Domingo show that imports therefrom have increased from §1,951,013 in 1890 to §3,680,413 in 1900 and $3,370,899 in 1907, and exports thereto from §950,217 in 1890 to §1,317,098 in 1900 and §2,-509,817 in 1907. Official statistics of commerce of Santo Domingo were meager until 1905, and information, very fragmentary at best, could be compiled only from reports of consuls located in that country and from the statistics of foreign countries showing their trade with Santo Domingo. The exports and imports from 1890 to 1906 are given as follows: Table 75. — Commerce op Santo Domingo, 1890 and 1892-1906. YEARS. Imports. Exports. 1 YEARS. Imports.

In Table 76 the imports and exports of these years are given by countries. In 1905 63 per cent and in 1906 nearly 60 per cent of the imports came from the United States. Of the ex- ports 65 per cent went to the United States in 1905 and only 57 per cent in 1906. In 1902, according to an estimate made by the French consul, the total exports equaled about §4,818.000, of which §2,641.000 went to the United States, or about 55 per cent. This comparison seems to show that no great change in the cur- rents of trade has been caused by the changes in the customs ad- ministration. Germany is next in importance both in imports and in exports. The imports from Germany in 1906 were almost double those of 1905 and constituted over 19 per cent of the total; the ex- ports to Germany increased from §1,261,000 to §2,100,000 and con- stitute now nearly one-third of the total exports. Among the pur- chasers of the products of Santo Domingo, France holds third place, followed, though at some distance, by the United Kingdom, while in the imports the order is reversed. The trade of Santo Domingo with all other countries except the four mentioned is quite insignificant, the imports amounting to about 5 per cent and the exports to no more than 1\ per cent.

The quantities and values of the articles exported, as well as the main countries to which the most important articles were shipped in 1905 and 1906, are sho^\Ti in Table 77. For comparative pur- poses the values of exports in 1902, as estimated by the French consul, are given, and from this table the follo-«-ing facts may be gleaned: Sugar and cacao are the most important articles of ex- port, each constituting in 1906 about one-thii-d of the total. As far as it is possible to judge from cnide commercial estimates, the sugar industry has remained nearly stationary in Santo Domingo, and the exports in 1906 were no gi-eater than in 1902. On the other hand, the exports of cacao have been gro-«ing rapidly and have COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 49 increased about 40 per cent within the short space of time from 1902 to 1906. The exports of tobacco and bananas have grown still more rapidly, the first having trebled, while the exports of bananas have increased over eightfold within the same years, largely due to the operations of the United Fruit Company. Coffee, hides and skins, and vegetable wax constitute the bulk of all other exports. In the case of these exports, several interesting peculiarities may be noticed. Practically all the sugar and all the bananas go to the United States, but only one-third of the cacao and but little over one-fifth of the coffee and of the tobacco leaf. Germany takes more than half of the cacao, about 60 per cent of the to- bacco leaf, and about 45 per cent of the coffee, while the exports to France consist mainly of cacao, tobacco, and coffee.

In the import trade the first place is occupied by cotton manufac- tures, which in 1906 had a value of $1,136,000, or considerably over one-fourth of the total imports. It is encouraging to find that more than one-half of these cotton manufactures are derived from the United States. Iron and steel manufactures constitute the second item, worth $474,000, or 11 per cent of the total. Over 60 per cent of these is bought in the United States. Rice, credited to Germany, but probably derived from the Dutch East Indies, wheat flour, entirely from the United States, and provisions, partly from the United States and partly from Germany, are the most important of the other articles of import. Leather manufactures, wood manu- factures, fish, chemicals, drugs and dyes, and sugar and confec- tionery are all derived almost exclu.sively from the United States. In view of the meager data of the commerce of Santo Domingo for any but recent years, it is necessary to turn to the records of the 32277—08 4 countries with which Santo Domingo is trading. The imports of the United States from Santo Domingo from 1903 to 1907 are shown in a table on page 160. Throughout the decade sugar has been by far the most important item, constituting in 1906 60 per cent, and in some earlier years an even larger proportion of the total. The im- ports of Dominican cacao, though in 1906 only a little over one- third those of sugar, have increased far more rapidly. The most remarkable development has been in the banana trade, which rose from practically nothing in 1894 to $260,000 in 1906, occupying now the third place. Dyewoods, which in 1895 and 1896 came next after sugar, dwindled to almost nothing in 1904, though since 1905 they show once more a considerable rise, probably due to the opening of new tracts by railway. The German statistics show an increase in special imports from Santo Domingo from $1,270,000 in 1900 to $2,427,000 in 1905. By far the largest item in the German imports is cacao, which rose from $184,000 in 1900 to $1,053,000 in 1905— that is, from one-seventh to almost one-half of the total. Coffee meantime fell off from $247,000 to $65,000. Other notable imports into Germany were divi-divi, $12,000; cattle hides, $113,000; leaf tobacco, $735,000; beeswax, $131,000. Imports into France increased from $313,000 in 1900 to $729,000 in 1905. Cacao, $630,000, fonned nearly seven-eighths of the total. Of other items only raw coffee, $43,000, is noteworthy. The British statistics of trade with Santo Domingo are combined with those for Haiti. Table 78. -Imports into Santo Domingo, 1905 and 1906, Articles and Countries. « ARTICLES AND COUNTRIES.

A table on pages 160 and 161 shows the exports from the United States to Santo Domingo for the years 1903 to 1907. These exports have remained practically stationary — in the neighborhood of a million and a liaU" dollars. The largest item, constituting one-fifth of the total exports from the United States to Santo Domingo in 1906, ■wascotton cloths, ?:300,000. Wheat flour, $247,000, in 190G, wasmuch below the figure for cotton cloth. Iron and manufactures thereof formed an aggregate of $327,000; leather and manufactures thereof, $104,000, of which boots and shoes were $67,000; meat and dairy products, $146,000, and wood and manufactures thereof, $96,000. Gennan exports to Santo Domingo show a gradual decline from $292,000 in 1900 to $208,000 in 1903, but increased to $364,000 in 1905. Imports of cleaned rice amounted to $84,000, or 23 per cent, and beer in bottles to $34,000, or nearly 10 per cent. Other impor- tant articles were arms and cutlerj'. The French exports, $124,000 in 1905, against $6,000 in 1900, consisted mainly of cotton goods, woolen goods, and toys. The British exports to Santo Domingo, merged with those of Haiti, are stated by the French consul to be slightly in excess of those of France, but to have diminished one- half since 1896. TARIFF. The import tariff of Santo Domingo contains over 2,000 sched- ules, the rates being mostly specific. A number of the articles for which ad valorem rates are provided have their values specified in the tariff, making the rates virtually specific. The tariff is a rev- enue measure. In addition to the regular import duties, a number of surtaxes, stamp duties, consumption taxes, etc., are levied. The Republic has also an export tariff, levying rates on a considera- ble number of products. URUGUAY. [Area, 72,210 square miles; population in 1902 estimated at 978,000.] The total commerce of Uruguay in 1904, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, was $61,731,000, of which $21,- 938,000 were imports and $39,793,000 exports. Of the imports 9.7 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 5.4 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Uruguay show that the imports from that country have giown from $1,754,903 in 1890 to $1,848,077 in 1900 and $3,160,891 in 1907; and the exports thereto were $3,351,874 in 1890, $1,816,720 in 1900, and $3,412,785 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. The trade of Uruguay has been practically stationary during the last decade. This phenomenon, which presents a decided contrast to the conditions prevailing in the neighboring La Plata States, is attributed generally to the frequent political disturbances from which the country has suffered of late. From 1891 to 1897 the an- nual exports averaged about $30,500,000, as compared with the an- nual average of about $34,500,000 for the period of 1898-1904. The imports for the same periods averaged $22,346,000 and $24,808,000 per annum, respectively. The position of the chief competing na- tions in regard to the import trade of Uruguay is discussed by Special Agent Hutchinson as follows: Among the chief sources of supply of these imports the United States holds fourth place, being surpassed by England, Germany, and France. The increase in our trade in the past few years, how- ever, has been fairly satisfactory, and there are indications that we may soon pass France and take third place. The following table illustrates the movement which is taking place. The figures are compiled from the export statistics of the various countries men- tioned as being more reliable than the Uruguayan import statistics. They show the annual average value in thousands of United States dollars of exports to Uruguay of all domestic merchandise f(jr the two five-year periods named: Table 79. — Average Annual Value of Exports to Uruguay FROM Leading Countries, 1894-1903.

Data of the distribution of the foreign trade of L'ruguay by coun- tries, according to its own official figures, arc given on page 79, in the statistical appendix. In the import trade the United Kingdom is seen to occupy the most important position. Nevertheless, this preeminence is not so strongly expressed as is the case in some of the other South American countries, since in 1903 the imports from the United Kingdom amounted to 25 per cent of the total imports and the actual value of the imports decreased from over 9 million dollars in 1890 to less than 7 million dollars in 1903. On the other hand, the imports from Germany are rapidly growing, having in- creased from $1,900,000 in 1891 to $3,650,000 in 1903, or, in percent- ages of the total imports, from 10 per cent in 1891 to 14 per cent in 1903. France, Italy, Argentina, and the United States contrib- ute from 2 to 3 million dollars' worth of goods annually, but the United States stands only sixth in the list. Still less important is the place of the United States in the exports, in which respect it occupied in 1903 the seventh place, with a total of $1,788,600, or less than 5 per cent of the total exports. The bulk of these exports goes mainly to Latin countries, namely, France, Belgium, and Ar- gentina, which took in 1903 over 6 million dollars' worth each and together about half of the exports. Five and a half million dollars' worth went to Brazil, almost 5 million dollars" worth to Germany, and less than Sj million dollars' worth to the L^nited Kingdom. Here again the growth of Germany has been most noticeable, the exports to that country having increased almost fi^ efold within the last fifteen years. The general nature of both imports and exports is indicated in Table 80, where the articles are grouped together into a few large classes for 1903, 1904, and 1905, and a comparison made with the annual average for 1899 to 1903, while detailed figures of both ex- ports and imports in regard to the most important articles are shown in the statistical appendix, on pages 102 and 103. The brief summary strikingly emphasizes the fact that slaughterhouse products prac- tically constitute the entire export trade of Uruguay, while con- sumption goods make up the bulk of the imports, such as food products, textiles (specified in the official classification of Uruguay as soft goods and materials ) , beverages, ready-made clothing, tobacco, and cigars. The considerable decline in the exports of .slaughter- house products in 1905 as compared with the preceding year is ex- plained by the British consul as attributable to the diminution in amount of live stock as a result of the revolurion of 1904. and the same explanation holds good in regard to the exports of live stock. On the other hand, the general improA-ement in the import trade may be accounted for by the necessity for restocking the market after nine months of civil war, while the increase in the imports of raw material and machinery is probably due to large undertakings, such as port improvements, electrification of street-car lines, etc. It must be remembered, however, that wool is classified in this schedule with the slaughterhouse products, and wool forms the bulk of the exports sent to France, Belgium, and Germany.

Nos. 3515 and 373.5. A Study of this brief table brings out some interesting points in regard to the effect of the political disturbance upon the trade of Uruguay in 1904 and 1905. There -was a great decrease in 1904 in the imports, and especially, since the manufacturing industries were most affected,' in those of raw materials and machinen,-. On the other hand, the exports in that year were actually greater than in 1903. which might have led to the conclusion at the time that the conditions of production and export were not verj,' much influenced by the political disturbances. However, the figures of 1905 demon- strate that the effect was no less noticeable in the export trade, except that it was felt somewhat later. As regards the currents of trade, they differ considerably for dif- ferent articles of export and import. The Uruguayan wool, as was stated above, goes mainly to France, Germany, and Belgium, these three countries ha\'ing taken almost 90 per cent of the wool in 1904. On the other hand, the exports of meat, mainly the cheap article known as jerked beef, are principally to Brazil (over 80 per cent in 1903 and over 70 per cent in 1904). Hides and skins go to Belgium, France, and Germany, which three countries took about 75 per cent of the total exports in 1904. while the live stock of Uruguay, a rather inferior article, goes exclusively to Brazil. In the imports from the United Kingdom textiles are of greatest importance, amounting to almost one-half of the total imports of textiles into Uniguay. These textiles consist mainly of cotton goods and smaller quantities of woolen and linen goods. Next in importance are the imports of coal, of which, according to the latest data, relating to 1903, 122,000 metric tons were imported. British coal constitutes aliout 90 percent of the coal imported into Uruguay. Large quantities of manufactured steel and iron are also imported from the United Kingdom. In liricf, textiles, coal, and iron and steel may be said to constitute almost 90 per cent of the imports from the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the bulk of the imports into Uruguaj- from the United States consists of entirely different goods, so that the United States and the United Kingdom can .scarcely be said to be as yet competing in the Uruguayan markets. The imports from the United States consist of wood and its manufactures and mineral oils, the.se constituting over one-half of the imports from the United States, while the imports of textiles from the United States are stated U> have been in 1903 over $100,000 worth. This item consists, primarily, of twine for harvesting ma- chines and some sack cloth — that is, articles which are not to any extent brought from the United Kingdom. Again, from -$100,000 to $150,000 worth annually of iron and steel manufactures is cred- ited to the United States, composed mainly of fencing wire and agricultural mac-hinery. The imports from Germany consist mainly of various manufactured articles, most important among which are textiles, foodstuffs, iron and ofher metals, etc. .Vmong textiles the most important items are cotton knit goods and cloths and woolen goods. The foodstuffs imported from Germany consist mainly of spices and rice. Among the German iron and steel prod- ucts barbed wire holds the first place. It is not surprising that live animals and foodstuffs (mainly raw sugar and potatoes) constitute about two-thirds of the imports from Argentina. Another impor- tant item is wood and its manufactures; but the imports of §40.000 to $50,000 worth of cotton goods from Argentina may appear some- what surprising. Considerable quantities of woolen and silk goods and other textiles are also brought from Argentina, the total imports of textiles from that country amounting to about .$1,200,000 in 1903, which may be taken as an indication of the rapid industrial development of that countrj' and its possibilities as a competitor of the older industrial countries in the growing markets of South America. The imports from France consist mainly of textiles, food products, beverages, glass and china ware, drugs and chemical?, and various other articles of manufacture. The textiles imported from France consist mainly of cotton, wool, and silk. More than half of all the silk imported into Uruguay comes from France, a,< compared with one-fourth of the wool and only one-tenth of the cotton goods, the cotton goods being mostly of the better qualities — lingerie, laces, etc. Of the food products imported from France, refined sugar constitutes more than half: the other large items are potatoes and chocolate. The beverages of French origin are mainly wine, also some cordials and cognac. The import* from Italy likewise consist primarily of textiles, food products, and beverages, the textiles being made up chiefly of cotton cloths and other cotton goods, the food products being olive and cotton-seed oil. rice, and fruits, while of the beverages over 80 per cent is common Italian wine. These various statements may be summed up as follows: The Republic of Uruguay presents an active market for a great many products of manufacture, most of these being such the produc- tion of which has been rapidly developing in the United States, and in this market many European and even some South .Vmeri- can industrial countries are actively competing with each other, while as yet the American manufacturer has not succeeded in acquiring a position of any great prominence, though signs of progress are not wanting. The imports from the United States showing the highest increases during the periods 1894-1898 and 1899-1903 are manufactures of iron and steel, cordage and twine, leather and its manufactures, paints, colors, etc., and paper and its manufactures. In the imports from the United Kingdom, large increases are shown in coal and coke, in manufactures of iron and steel, and in scientific instruments. The imports from Germany showing large increases are cotton and foodstuffs. The chief im- ports from Uruguay into the United States during the fi.'ical year 1907 were as follows: Hides and skins. Sl,fi05.9.33; wool, §1,178,267, and hair, $107,110. The chief exports from the United States to Uruguay during the same year were: Mineral oils. .$660,352; wood and its manufactures, $842,903; manufactures of iron and steel, $548,568, and agricultural implements, $126,927. Most of the com- merce of Uruguay passes through the port of Montevideo, which is undergoing extensive improvements. Most of the rates in the Uruguayan tariff are ad valorem, coupled with a fixed value of merchandise under the valuation tariff, which makes them virtually specific. The tariff is a very detailed one, comprising more than 4,200 sjchedule.s. VENEZUELA. [Area, .593,943 square miles; population In 19ft3 I'stimnted nt 2,633,671.] The total commerce of Venezuela during the fi.'ical year ended June, 1906, was $24,306,000, of which .$8,676,000 were imports and $15,630,000 exports. Of the imports, 30.2 per cent was from the United States, and of the exports 31.1 per cent was sent to the Uniteil States. The olFicial figures of the United States with ref- 52 COMMIE RCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. erence to its trade with Venezuela show that the imports from that country declined from $10,966,765 in 1890 to $5,500,019 in 1900, and increased to $7,852,214 in 1907, and the exports thereto declined from .$4,028,583 in 1890 to $2,452,757 in 1900, and increased to $3,024,629 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. COMMERCE. Commercial statistics of Venezuela are of a fragmentary nature, and very little can be ascertained in regard to the total trade for the period prior to the fiscal year ended June, 1903. On page 70, in the statistical appendix, a table will be found giving the value of the total imports into and exports from Venezuela since 1865 until the end of June, 1906, but many years for which no official data could be ascertained are missing, the most important break being between the fiscal years 1898 and 1903. It is seen that the total volume of trade, which had grown considerably until about 1890, began to fall off, under the influence of political conditions, and in 1898 both the imports and the exports were only one-half of what they were in 1891. For the last four years, however, fairly satisfactory data have been gathered, and in Table 81 the distribu- tion of both the imports into and the exports from Venezuela for the four years ended June, 1906, are presented. But it must be pointed out that the data for 1903 do not include the very important ports of Ciudad Bolivar, Cano Colorado, and La Guayra, so that a compari- son between that year and the subsequent year would be mislead- ing. Taking the three latest years for which data are available, we find that both the imports and exports are still much smaller than they were fifteen or twenty years ago, the imports oscillating be- tween 8 and 11 million dollars and being smaller in 1906 than they had been in 1904, while the exports are nearly double the imports Table 81. — Imports and Exports o'f Venezuela, Years ENDED June, 1903-1906, by Countries."

The commercial con- ditions in Venezuela are especially important for the i eason that both in imports and exports the United States occupies the first place, according to the data of the latest two years. The value of the im- ports into Venezuela from the United States has remained about the same for the last three years, and constituted 24.9 per cent in 1904, 29.5 per cent in 1905, and 30.2 per cent in 1906 ; the imports from the United Kingdom have decreased by over a million dollar,", forming in 1906 but 29.8 per cent, as against 32.5 per cent two years earlier, and the imports from Germany have decreased over half a million dollars, while corresponding decreases have taken place in the imports from France, Spain, and other countries. In the caso of the exports from Venezuela the shipments to the United States have increased by about $900,000 in the period from 1904 to 1906 and now constitute about one-third of the total exports, while those to France have in the same period decreased about a million and a half, and in 1906 represent 25.4 per cent of the total, as against 35 per cent in 1904. The Netherlands, including its colonies, comes third, taking 14.6 per cent in 1906, while Cuba alone took over $1,700,000, or 11 per cent, almost half a million more than the United Kingdom with all the British possessions. The trade between Venezuela and the United States seems, therefore, to be growing and full of promise for the future. Table 82. — Exports from Venezuela, Years ended June, 1903-1906, by Articles."

The exports from Venezuela, by articles, are shown for the last four years in Table 82. Coffee constitutes the most important item, amounting in some years to as much as one-half of the total exports, and cacao is second in importance. In addition, Venezuela exports large quantities of cattle and hides and skins, so that over 80 per cent of the exports consists of agricultural products. Balata gum is also exported in fairly large quantities. The exports of asphalt have been falling off since 1904. In 1906, the latest year for which statistics are available, coffee constituted 45.8 per cent, cacao 18.1 per cent, cattle 11.2 per cent, hides and skins 9 per cent, balata gum 4.5 per cent, and gold 3.6 per cent, and all other articles less than 8 per cent. The exports of coffee from Venezuela are of such impor- tance that it was thought desirable to present the detailed statistics of that trade in a separate table.

In addition, the imports are stated in an extremely long and unclassified list of articles. Under these cir- cumstances a brief statement of the imports of a few articles, consti- tuting about two-thirds of the total imports, is all that is attempted COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. 53 in Table 84. This table shows that cotton manufactures are the largest item of import and that various food products, such as wheat flour, rice, lard, and butter, are other important articles of import. The bulk of the cotton manufactures during the year came from the United Kingdom, while Germany and the United States contributed much smaller quantities. On th*e other hand, almost all the wheat flour, lard, and hams came from the United States. From Germany Venezuela bought in 1906 considerable quantities of rice, butter, cotton manufactures, drugs, and iron manufactures. The imports from the Netherlands consisted, as far as it was practicable to ascertain, of cotton manufactvu-es and stearin. In view of the insufficiency of the data, the study of the tendencies of the foreign trade of Venezuela must be made from the data of the foreign countries which trade with it.

The totals obtained in this manner can not be claimed to represent with any degree of accuracy the total foreign trade of Venezuela, which has a more or less active trade with a few other countries, namely, the Netherlands, Cuba, and Italy. Nevertheless, a comparison of these totals for different years may serve as an indication of the trend of tlic foreign commerce of Venezuela. The table indicates a considerable falling off of trade during the last decade of the nineteentli century and only a moderate recovery since 1900, wliicji lias not yet resulted in the reestablishment of the older conditions. Thus the total trade with the five countries in 1890 amounted to 35 million dollars, in 1895 to less than 34 million dollars, in 1900 to only 22^ million dollars, and in 1905 to 24 million dollar.^. Between 1890 and 1900 the imports from Venezuela into all the countries men- tioned decreased about 30 per cent, and the exports from .these coun- tries to Venezuela decreased coiisidera})ly over 40 per cent. All the countries mentioned, except Spain, have suffered from this decline of the trade of Venezuela. Imports into the United States from Venezuela have fallen off about one-half, or from 11 million dollars in 1890 to 5i millions in 1900 and 7 millions in 1905; those into the United Kingdom, from 1^ million in 1890 to 600,000 dollars in 1900 and about 1 million df)llars in 1905; and those into France, from 7.7 millions in 1890 to 5.7 millions in 1900 and 3i millions in 1905, while the imports from Venezuela into Germany and Spain meantime have actually increased. In tlie case of the exports, on the other hand, France was the greatest sufferer, losing almost her entire trade with Venezuela, which in 1890 amounted to 2} million dollars and in 1900 to less than half a million, while the other coun- tries have suffered a loss of from 30 to 40 per cent.

The imports into France from Venezuela consist practically of two items only, namely, coffee and cacao, which make up about 90 per cent of the total imports. Other articles, in which the trade is of much smaller importance, are india rubber, pearls, cabinet woods, hides, and horns and hoofs. The imports into Germany consist also to a great extent of coffee and cacao, but india rubber is another very important article. Over 1,300,000 pounds of india rubber was imported in 1905, worth $1,136,000. In 1901 the value of the rubber imported from Venezuela was only .$328,000, but the larger value of the imports was due mainly to the rise in price, the average valuation of the rubber imported being 400 marks per quintal (43 cents per pound) in 1902, and 800 marks per quintal, or just double the amount, in 1905. The United Kingdom differed from the other countries, inasmuch as it imported very little coffee or cacao, the bulk of its imports from Venezuela being made up of india rubber, ornamental feathers, and pearls. The imports into the United States from Venezuela consist mainly of coffee. The quantity imported was 45 million pounds in 1903. 54i millions in 1905, and almost 63 millions both in 1904 and 1906, the value of the coffee imported in 1906 being .$5,543,000, or 69 per cent of the total imports. In comparison with this the imports of cacao are very small, although growing rather rapidly. In 1903 they amounted to about 400,000 pounds and in 1906 to nearly A\ million pounds, the value in the latter year being a little less than half a million dollars. Hides and skins represent a more important article of import, their value being in 1906 .$1,560,000. The statements of the exports from the countries mentioned to Venezuela are of necessity much more complex. Germany shows exports mainly of iron and steel manufactures and cotton manu- factures. The exports from France are not very great, amounting in 1905 to a little over $600,000, but even this is a considerable improvement over the figures of 1902. which were only $150,000. These exports consist mainly of hardware, brushes, buttons, toys, cotton manufactures, and prepared medicines. Of the exports from the United Kingdom, over 70 i)er cent consist of cotton manu- factures, and other textiles make up the bulk of the remainder. The United States ex])orts to Venezuela were mainly wlieat flour, cotton manufactures, iron and steel manufactures, illuminating oil, lard, butter, and smaller quantities of a large variety of other articles. The im])ort tariff of Venezuela divides foreign merchandise into nine classes paying .specific rates of duty as follows: (1) 5 centimes 54 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. of the bolivar per kilograjii: (2) 10 centimes of the bolivar per kilo- gram; (3) 25 centimes of the bolivar per kilogium; (4) 75 centimes of the bolivar per kilogram; (5) 1 bolivar 25 centimes per kilogram; (6) 2 bolivars 50 centimes per kilogram; (7) 5 bolivars per kilogram; (8) 10 bolivais per kilogram; (9) 20 bolivars per kilogram. Among the goods admitted free of duty are live animals, iron boiler plates, agricultural implements, barbed wire for fencing, RoTnan cement, printing papers and their accessories, certain kinds of machinery, iron bridges, etc. WEST INDIES. BRITISH WEST INDIES. [Area, 12,032 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 1,698,581.] The total commerce of the British West Indies in 1905-G, the lat- est year for which complete statistics are available, was $75,548,000, of which $40,177,000 were imports and $35,371,000 exports. Of the imports 31.6 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 35.8 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with the British West Indies show that the imports from said islands have declined from $14,865,018 in 1890 to $11,894,520 in 1900 and $10,259,253 in 1906, but increased to $12,191,852 in 1907, and the exports thereto have grown from $8,288,786 in 1890 to $8,895,164 in 1900 and $10,755,139 in 1907,' these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados contribute over 50 per cent of the total trade of the British West Indies. The chief im- ports are cotton manufactures, articles of apparel, breadstuffs, and manufactures of iron and steel. The chief exports are sugar, sugar products, and fniits. The trade of the United States with the British West Indies consists mainly of imports of bananas, sugar, cacao, and asphaltum, and exports of breadstuffs, provisions, and manufactures of leather. The revenues and expendi- tures of the British West Indies for 1904 were $10,728,403 and $11,200,000, respectively. The total public debt in 1904 was $28,855,150. Tables containing information in regard to the total trade of all the British West Indies combined will be found on page 71 in the statistical appendix. In the statements which follow, a brief analysis is made of the trade of the separate colonies into which the British West Indies are divided for administrative purposes. Such detailed treatment is considered necessary in view of the independent statistical records of the foreign trade which all these colonies publish. BAHAM.\S. [.\rea, 4,404 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 57,146.] The main occupations of the small population of this group of coral islands are fishing and the raising of subtropical fruits, such as pine- apples and oranges. The exports are gradually increasing, and since 1901 have amounted to about a million dollars a year, as against $600,000 to 8700,000 ten years ago. More than half of these exports consist of sponges, of which 1,400,000 pounds, valued at $514,000, were exported in 1904. Next in importance is Bahamas hemp, the production and exportation of which have rapidly increased within the last decade. In 1897, the first year in which these exports were specially recorded, the exports amounted to 900,000 pounds, valued at $22,000, and in 1904 the exports were 2,200,000 pounds, valued at $144,000. Among other articles of export may be mentioned pine- apples, salt, and turtle shell. The annual imports have increased from less than a million dollars in the early nineties to a million and a half within the last two or three years, consisting mainly of wheat flour, rice, and other breadstuffs, meat products, sugar, coffee, alco- holic liquors, tobacco, and textiles. The trade of the Bahamas is mainly with the United States, which in 1904 took two-thirds of their' exports and contributed three-fourths of their imports. The remain- der of the imports was contributed mainly by the United Kingdom, while of the exports some quantities went to the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and France. This distribution of the ex- ports from the Bahamas is for the most part explained l)y the wide market for sponges, the other articles of export, such as hemp, pine- apples, and other fruits, going almost exclusively to the United States. Practically all the food products except rice are contributed by the United States? while the United Kingdom sends to this colony certain manufactured articles, such as rope and textiles. Even in the latter, however, the United States occupies the first place. BARBADOS. [Area, 166 miles; estimated population in 1904, 199,514.] The staple product of this small island, as of most other West In- dian islands, is sugar, the production of which developed under slavery conditions and has continued since the abolition of slavery in very much the same fashion with hired labor. Under the influ- ence of the competition of subsidized European beet sugar, the industry passed through a severe crisis in the middle of the last decade of the nineteenth century, from which, however, it is gradu- ally recovering. The total value of exports was over 5 million dollars in 1890 and 1893. but fell below 3 millions in 1895, reached 4.6 millions in 1901, was less than 3 millions in 1903, and about 4 millions in 1904. The total value of exports followed closely the fluctuations in both the quantity and value of the sugar exported, which, in recent years, constituted from three-fifths to two-thirds of the total exports. The bulk of the remainder consists almost exclusively of molasses; the exports of all other articles amounted, in 1904, scarcely to $200,000, or about 6 per cent of the total exports. The quantity of sugar exported is subject to very marked fluctuations, and amounted during the five years 1901 to 1905, inclusive, to 123 million pounds, 101 million pounds, 71 million pounds, 123 million pounds, and 92 million pounds, respectively. The total value of imports is more uniform, amounting to about 5 million dollars annually, though during the earlier years of the period under discussion they occasionally reached 6^ million dollars. The imports are made up mainly of breadstuffs, such as wheat and rye flour, valued at $334,000 in 1905, dried fish, meat products, rice, alcoholic liquors and tobacco, lumber, staves and shooks used for barrels containing sugar, etc., cotton and other textiles, boots, shoes, etc. The exports of Barbados are destined chiefly for the United States, which, in 1904, took about 45 per cent of the total, while British North America took 33 per cent and the United Kingdom less than 10 per cent. A little' less than half the imports came from the United King- dom, about one-third from the United States, and most of the remainder from Canada and from the other British West Indies. More than half the sugar exported goes to the United States, about one-third to Canada, and the rest to the United Kingdom, while about 80 per cent of the molasses goes to Canada and Newfound- land. The respective positions of the countries from which Bar- bados imports its goods for immediate consumption are about the same as in the case of most other West Indian islands — that is, it buys almost all of its flour, grain, meat products, mineral and vegetable oils and oil cake, and also a small part of its textiles from the United States, while the greater share of its textiles and most other manufactured articles come from the United Kingdom. British India figures in the import trade of Barbados mainly in supplying rice, a large quantity of which is consumed by the labor- ers on the sugar plantations. BERMUD.\. [Area, 19 square miles; estimated population in 1904. 20,206.] The little island of Bermuda, with the numerous little islets sur- rounding it. has a foreign trade that is quite considerable in ^dew of its small population. In 1905 the total trade amounted to $3,415,000, of which the imports equaled $2,644,000 and the exports only $771,000. Almost one-half, or 48.8 per cent, of the imports came from the United States, and 91.7 per COI^BIERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. 55 cent of the exports went to the United States. This large excess of the imports over the exports, which is not compen.sated by any recorded exports of gold, seems to suggest that the main economic function of Bermuda is to serve as a \vinter health resort for for- eigners, piincipally Americans, and that these and the military stationed in the island are the main consumers of the large quantity of goods imported. The exports consist of onions, which in 1904 constituted $361 000. or over 60 per cent of the total; potatoes, $127,000. or 22 per cent, and lily bulbs. The imports are made up mainly of foodstuffs, such as cattle, flour, groceries, meats, dairy products, sugar, vegetables, etc., and fairly large quantities of spirituous liquors, tobacco, and textiles for consumption by the local population. In addition to the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada are the only two countries suppl>-ing large quantities of goods to Bermuda. In 1904, the latest year for which full figures are available, the United States furnished 46.6 per cent, the United Kingdom 36.9 per cent, and Canada 13.6 per cent, leaA^ng only 3 per cent for all other countries. From the United States Bermuda bought more than one-half of its flour, about one-third of the cotton goods, all its com, one-fourth of the oats, most of the hardware and cutlery, most of the manufac- . tured leather, and almost all its cattle, sheep, and lumber, all its meat, all its oil, and most of the provisions. The United Kingdom supplied two-thirds of the cotton goods, most of the ready-made clothing, almost all the woolen goods, and all the spirituous liquors. Canada sent fish, some flour, three-fourths of the oats, more than half of the hay, and smaller quantities of provisions and vegetables. For further statistical information, the reader is referred to pages 80, 105, and 106. GRENADA. [Area, 13.3 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 68,2.')3.] The island of Grenada has shown greater commercial prosperity in recent years than certain others of the West Indies, its variety of production having rendered it less dependent upon the sugar industry than many others of those islands. The exports, though declining in the middle of the nineties, have in recent years shown a tendency to grow, and, after reaching a minimum of $746,000 in 1897, gradually increased to $1,552,000 in 1904. They consist almost exclusively of cacao, of which over 13 million pounds were exported in 1904, valued at $1,325,000, or 85 per cent of the total, the bulk of the remainder being contributed by nutmegs and other spices. Cotton is regularly being exported from this island, though its quantity is small and does not show any increase. In 1892 the cotton exported amounted to 489,000 pounds, but during the decade ended 1904 the exports averaged less than 300,000 pounds. About two-thirds of the total exports are sent to the United Kingdom, about 20 per cent to the United States, and 15 per cent to France. For further information see pages 80 and 106. [Area, 4,207 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 803,838.] This is the largest single island in the group of British West Indies, and its population constitutes almost half of that of the entire group. According to the latest census, that of 1891. there were only 14,692 white persons out of a total of 639,491, or 2.3 per cent. Sugar and coffee, produced on large plantations, were the mainstay of the economic life of this island in the days of slavery, but the libera- tion of the slaves led to the breaking up of the large estates into small land holdings, and many crops for Home consumption were substituted for these export crops. The foreign trade of this island does not show any tendency to increase, and in fact the imports have as a rule been smaller in recent years than in the beginning of the fifteen-year period for which statistics are pre- sented on pages 80, 81, and 107. The total volume of the exports is subject to great fluctuations, as is to be expected where the l>ulk of the exports consists of agricultural products subject to crop variations. The total value of exports as well as of imports is from 8 to 10 million dollars per annum, the total value of the trade being from 16 to 20 million dollars a year. In the fiscal year 1905, the latest for which complete data are presented, both the exports and the imports were considerably smaller than for the previous years, and the total value of the trade was $15,178,000 as against $17,314,000 in the preceding year. The exports consist almost exclusively of agricultural products and a few simple manufactured articles directly derived from them, namely, cacao, coffee, fruits and nuts, spices and extracts, sugar and rum, tobacco and its manufactures, wood and timber, the arti- cles not here enumerated amounting to less than 4 per cent of the total exports. But in the comparative importance of these articles considerable changes have taken place even within the last fifteen years. In 1891 the total exports amounted to $8,869,000, and of this, raw sugar represented $1,149,000, or 13 per cent; coffee' $1,381,000, or 15.6 per cent; bananas $2,162,000, or 24.4 per cent; log^vood $1,861,000, or 21 per cent, and rum $969,000, or 11 per cent. In other words, the main articles of export were, in their order of importance, bananas, logwood, coffee, sugar, and rum, these five articles constituting 85 per cent of the total exports. Since that time the exports of sugar have been constantly decreasing, from 42 million pounds in 1891 and 48 million pounds in 1892 to 22 million pounds in 1905, worth $566,000, or less than one-half of the value of the sugar exports fifteen years earlier. The exports of logwood have decreased from 109,000 tons to less than 30,000 tons during the same period, and their value has dropped to $368,000, or about one-fifth of their value fifteen years ago. The exports of coffee have decreased from 8 to 10 million pounds in the earlier years of this period to less than 6 million pounds in 1905, and because of the fall in the price of coffee the total value of the coffee exports has fallen off much more, namely, from $1,381,000 to $414,000, or to less than one-third. The exports of rum have also decreased from nearly 1.6 million gallons, valued at $970,000, in 1891, to 1.2 million gallons, valued at $450,000 in 1905. As against this decline in the exports of sugar, rum, log\vood, and coffee, there was a compensating increase in the exports of other articles, namely cacao, bananas, oranges, spices, logwood extract, and tobacco, thus indicating a considerable diversification of the crops. Within this period the exports of cacao increased from 700,000 pounds to 2,600,000 pounds, and in value from $70,000 to $198,000. The exports of bananas increased from less than 5 million bunches to nearly 9 million bunches, though because of the fall in the price of bananas the value has not shown a corresponding increase. The number of oranges exported increased from 40 millions to 73 millions and in 1900 was even as high as 107 millions. The exports of ginger and of pimento have nearly doul)led. There has been a rapid increase in the ex- ports of logwood extracts since 1895, when they were first mentioned , and in 1905 they amounted to $310,000, thus compensating to some extent for the decline in the exports of logwood. Exports of tobacco and cigars have increased fourfold. The imports into Jamaica consist mainly of breadstuffs, such as wheat flour, corn and bread, dried fish, meat and dairy products, rice, malt licjuors. textiles, and dry goods. Among the signs of the economic development of Jamaica may be pointed out the increase in the imports of coal and coke from 46,000 tons in 1891 to 87,000 tons in 1905, and of petroleum from 600.000 to 765,000 gallons in the same period. On the other hand, notwithstanding the increase in population, the imports of hreatlstuffs and dried fish and rice have not shown any increase, thus indicating a growth in the production of foodstuffs in the island itself. Both in the imports and the exports the largest .share of the trade of Jamaica is divided between the United States and tlie I'nited Kingdom. Of the exports, more than one-half usually go to the United States and about 20 per cent to the United Kingdom, the rest being divided Ix-tween Canada, the British \\'est Indies, France, Ger- many, and Austria-Hungary. Of the imports, about 40 per cent each come from the United Kingdom and the I'nited .'states, while tlie l)ulk of iIk^ remainder conii's from Canada. In 190G, the latest 56 COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. year for which detailed figures are available, the exact shares of the trade were as follows: The exports of produce of Jamaica to the United States were 57.2 per cent of the total exports, to the United Kingdom 21.5 per cent, to Canada 7.5 per cent, to France 5.4 per cent, to Germany 1.8 percent, and to all other countries G.fi per cent. Of the imports into Jamaica during that year, 38.2 per cent came from the United Slates, 49.8 per cent from the United King- dom, 8.2 per cent from Canada, and only 3.8 per cent from all other countries. To the United States are shipped almost all the bananas, two-thirds of the oranges, half of the cocoanuts, small quantities of cacao, coffee, logwood extract, spices, and logwood, very little sugar, and almost no rum or tobacco. The United Kingdom takes a large share of the cacao and coffee, some bananas and oranges, more than three-fourths of the rum, and some sugar, tobacco, spices, etc. Most of the raw sugar goes to Canada, while most of the coffee goes to continental Europe. To the market of Jamaica the United States contributes mainly food products, practically all the beef, all the bread, a good share of the butter, most of the cheese, a considerable share of the fish, almost all the flour and meal, all the corn, oats, and pulse. Certain classes of manufactured articles are also bought mainly in the United States, such as bicycles, boots and shoes, carriages, drugs and medicines, furniture, hard- ware and cutlery, wire fencing, nails, lamps, printing paper, and perfumery. From the United Kingdom are obtained most of the textiles and a great many other manufactured articles. Thus, in 1905 the United Kingdom shipped about nine-tenths of all the cloth- ing, bags and sacks, beer, ale, and porter, book^, and cement, two- thirds of the cordage, about 80 per cent of the cotton manufactures, and the earthen and china ware, more than half of the glass, over 90 per cent of the haberdashery and millinery, two-thirds of the hardware and cutlery, almost all the hats and caps, and galvanized iron for roofing, four-fifths of the machinery, almost all the linen manufactures, four-fifths of the agricultural machinery and writing paper and stationery, all the locomotives, almost all the silk manu- factures, soap, spirits, tin, and cigarettes, and all the woolen manu- factures. Most of these are articles the production of which in the United States has grown very rapidly within the last few years, and a larger share of the trade of Jamaica may be obtained by the American manufacturer in the future. LEEWARD ISLANDS. [Area, 701 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 132,400.] The colony of Leeward Islands consists of a number of small islands in the British West Indies, of which the most important are Antigua, St. Christopher, Nevis, Dominica, and the Virgih Islands. In 1905, the latest year for which data are available, the total com- merce was equal to $3,948,000, almost equally divided between imports and exports. Of the exports, only 10 per cent went to the United States, but of the imports 37.8 per cent came from this country. The decline of foreign commerce is noticed in the case of this colony not less than in that of many other British ^^'est Indian colonies. In the early nineties the exports equaled about 2* million dollars, but in 1903 they had fallen to $1,300,000, the imports being only a little larger. Sugar is the mainstay of the economic life of this colony and constituted in the early nineties almo.st 90 per cent of its exports, but only 67 per cent in 1904. There has been some decline in the quantity of sugar exported, which in 1890 amounted to almost 83 million pounds and in 1900 to only 34^ million pounds, after which there was some recovery, so that the exports in 1904 amounted to 55 million pounds. But hand in hand with this decline in quantity there has been a con- tinuous decline in price, so that the total value of sugar and molasses exported fell off from $2,300,000 in 1892 to $1,100,000 in 1904. As a partial compensation for this loss, there has been a considerable increa.'^e in the exports of cacao and fruits, mainly limes. In 1890 the exports of cacao amounted to only 400,000 pounds, while for the last five years they averaged over a million pounds, and the increase in value was still greater because of a rise in the price of cacao, namely, from $35,000 in 1890 to $102,000 in 1904. The increased demand for limes stimulated the exports of that fruit, which amounted to $80,000 in 1890 and $175,000 in 1904. Within the last two years exports of cotton have again appeared, after the production of cotton had been practically abandoned for many decades, but thus far these new products have not enabled ihe colony to regain the economic position it held in the past. The imports into Leeward Islands have likewise been smaller within recent years than some ten or fifteen years ago, averaging within the last three years about $1,800,000. In 1904 the main articles of import were wheat flour, $234,000; cotton manufactures, $"201,000; haberdashery and millinery, $162,000, and machinery for sugar manufacture, $113,000. Other articles of some importance, are corn meal and flour, fertilizers for use in cane sugar cultiA'ation, dried and pickled fish, meat products, rice, etc. The entire trade is practically dominated by three countries, namely, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. Of the imports in 1904, 45.2 per cent came from the United Kingdom and 37.1 per cent from the LTnited States, while of the remainder, 11.2 per cent came from British North America and the surrounding British West Indian islands, and only 7.4 per cent from all the other foreign countries. Of the total exports, more than half went to Canada, about one-fourth to the United Kingdom, and about 17 per cent to the United States, leaving less than 8 per cent for all the other countries. Most of the sugar shipped from Leeward Islands goes to Canada; only small portions are sent to the United States and the United Kingdom. The same is true of molasses, while, on the other hand, the United Kingdom is the main purchaser of cacao and limes. The United Kingdom supplies to the Leeward Islands almost all their imports of cotton manufactures, haberdash- ery, hardware, leather and saddlery, machinery for sugar making, fancy goods, paper, soap, spirits, etc. From Canada are imported dried and pickled fish and manufactures of wood. The United States supplies almost all the beef, pork, bacon, wheat flour, grain, corn meal, bread, oleomargarine, oil cake, and tobacco.

[Area, 133 square miles; estimated population in 1905. 49.256.] The little island of St. Vincent, 95 per cent of whose population is colored, shows the results of economic depression due to the un- satisfactory condition of the world sugar market even more strongly than the larger islands. The exports from St. Vincent amounted to $572,000 in 1892 and to only $248,000 in 1904. The imports were $501,000 in 1892 and $361,000 in 1904. The value of the raw sugar exported in 1890 was $258,000 and in 1904 only $48,000. Arrowroot is now the main product of the island for export purposes, but even the exports of this article show a slight tendency toward decline. The imports consistmainly of textiles, breadstuffs, rice, and smoked fish and similar articles. The currents of trade are mainly with the United Kingdom and the other Britisji West Indies. These two share about equally in the entire exports and supply each about 40 per cent of the imports. Less than $10,000 worth was exported to the United States for the year ended ilarch. 1905, while the imports from the United States amounted to $74,000, wheat flour and pine lumber being among the most important articles. See tables on pages 81 and 110 for further trade statistics. ST. LUCIA. [Area, 233 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 52,682.] The foreign trade of the island of Santa Lucia is not large. The exports from the island amounted in the nineties to over $600,000 and have fallen to from $300,000 to $400,000 in the last few years, though they showed a sudden increase in 1905, the latest year for which trade figures are available, amounting to $837,000 as against CO^BIERCIAL A^IERICA I\ 1907. 57 $431,000 the preceding year. The main exports are raw siigiir and crude cacao, the decline having taken place chiefly in raw sugar, which amounted to over $400,000 in the early nineties and only $127,000 in 1902; in 1904, the sugar exports again increased to $262,000, while in 1905 they were but $220,000. The changes in the value of the sugar exports are due more to fluctuations in price than in quantity exported, which latter is rather uniform, being usually between 8 and 10 million pounds annu- ally. The imports are much larger than the exports, amounting to between IJ and 2 million dollars. An interesting peculiarity of the import trade is the large quantity of coal importetl. chiefly for the sugar industry' and bunkering purposes. The other important items are building materials, textiles, cattle, haberdashery, etc. The mother country absorbs more than half of the island's exports, taking most of its sugar. Over 25 per cent of the exports go to France, which buys almost all of its cacao. Hardly any of the products of Santa Lucia go to the United States. On the other hand, this country supplies a considerable share of the imports into Santa Lucia, which in 1904 amounted to 23 per cent, while the United Kingdom supplied 65 per cent. The shipments from the United States to Santa Lucia consist mainly of coal and provisions, while the United Kingdom supplies almost all the manufactured articles. Detailed statements of the foreign trade of this colony, both by countries and by articles, may be found on pages 81 and 109. TRIXIDAD AND TOBAGO. fArea, 1,869 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 310,000.] This colony consists of the island of Trinidad, with an area of 1,755 6C(uare miles and a population of 290,000, and the smaller island of Tobago, with an area of 114 square miles and a population of 20,000, the two islands having been joined into one colony in 1899. In the tables of trade of this colony by articles and countries, which may be found on pages 82 and 110, in the statistical appendix, the data for the last five years are for the combined foreign trade of both islands, exclusive of the trade between the two islands. For the years preceding 1899 the data of both imports and exports are for Trinidad alone. While constituting a part of the group known as the British West Indies, both islands are located in close proximity to the Vene- zuelan coast and their natural resources are similar to those of other countries of the northern part of South America. The products of Trinidad and Tobago may be seen from the statistics of the exports of the colony. In the early part of last century coffee was the main source of prosperity of those islands, but since then the production of coffee has been almost abandoned and sugar plantations sub- stituted. The sugar industry, which was developed under condi- tions of slave labor imported from the northern part of the West Indies, has been preserved in Trinidad to a greater extent than in those latter islands, and is kept up at present largely by contract labor of Indian coolies under conditions very similar to those of British Guiana. In addition to the sugar industry, within the last fifteen years there has been a notable growth in the production of cacao. The only other industry worth mentioning is the asphalt industry, Trinidad having very rich asphalt lakes, as has also Vene- zuela, of which Trinidad is, geologically, a part. The exports from Trinidad and Tbt)ago have shown a healthy increase during the last fifteen years, averaging from 6 to 7 million dollars annually in lh(! last decade of the nineteenth century and reaching 15 million dollars during the fiscal year ended March, 1900. The exports of sugar have varied in (juantity much less than in value, the explanation being found in the fluctuation of the price of sugar. Thus, throughout the fifteen years for which data are givcin the exports of sugar have never fallen below 90 million pounds annually and only once have exceeded 120 million pounds, while the value of the sugar exported has fluctuated between 2 and SJ million dollars. On the other hand, the ex])nrts of cacao show an almost continuous rise both in (luanlil y and value. In 1891 Ihej- amounted to 16 million pounds, worth $2,140,000, and in the fiscal year 1905 they were over 40 million pounds, worth $4,300,000. The exports of asphalt, at the beginning of the period under discus- sion, were rather less than 100,000 tons annually, worth about half a million dollars, and during the latest years they have increased to 150,000 tons, and even more, reaching the highest point in 1903. when they amounted to 192,000 tons, worth .$993,000. The imports into Trinidad are regularly greater than the exports by several million dollars. There is not a single year in the entire period under discussion during which they have fallen below 10 million dollars, the figures for the fiscal year 1906 being in ex- cess of 16 million dollars. The explanation of this peculiarity must be sought in the statistical methods of the reports of the foreign trade rather than in the economic conditions of the colony. The island of Trinidad, because of its proximity to Venezuela, evidently serves as a transshipment point both for goods exported from Venezuela as well as for goods imported from Europe and destined for Venezuela, and while an effort lias been made, since 1897, to state transshipments separately, this intention has not been carried out manifestly with any de- gree of success, as may be judged from the fact tliat the re- port for the fiscal year 1905 shows imports for consumption of over 7i million pounds of cacao from Venezuela, though there can be no doubt that a large part of these imports were destined not for consumption but for reexportation. This qualification should be kept in mind in a study of the tables. In general it may be stated that the nature of the imports is about the same as shown above in the study of the South American countries. The imports consist mainly of wheat, flour, and other breadstuffs; meats, dried fish, and other provisions; wines, liquors, tobacco, large quantities of textiles, boots and shoes, and similar articles of personal consumption. The trade of Trinidad is distributed among a very small number of countries, the most important ones being the mother country (United Kingdom), tlie United States, the neighboring country of Venezuela, and British North America. In the fiscal year 1905, the latest year for which accurate data are available, o^-er one- third of the exports of domestic production went to the United Kingdom, over one-fourth to the United States, about 20 per cent to France, and 13 per cent to British North America, leaving only about 5 per cent for all the other countries. In addition, $1,818,400 worth of goods which were described as the produce of other coun- tries were exported. These goods went mainly to the United States, Venezuela, France, and the United Kingdom, thus indicating ship- ments both to and from the South American continent. The records of trans-shipment included only goods to the value of $1,208,500, being mainly imports from Venezuela shipped to the United King- dom and the United States. On the import side, the trade of Trini- dad was somewhat more variegated, the imports from the United Kingdom during 1905 being a little less than 40 per cent of the total, the imports from the United States con.'^tituting 26.7 per cent, from Venezuela 14.6 per cent, from British North America about 5 per cent, with smaller quantities from Germany, France, British West Indies, and a few other countries. The sugar exported from Trinidad goes mainly to the I'nited Kingdom and to British North America, very small quantities of it reaching the United States. Most of the cacao goes to France and the United States and some to the United Kingdom, wliilc of the asphalt two-thirds is bought by the United States antl the rest di- vided between Germany and the United Kingdom. The United States su])j)lies to the markets of Trinidad mainly breadstuffs, such as wheat flour, corn, and oats: meat, i)rii\isions, live animals, considerable quantities of coal, and only small quan- tities of manufactures, such as hardware, boots and shoes, patent medicines, paper and stationery, soap, etc. From Canada Trini- dad purcliases fish and oats, while the bulk of the manufactured articles comes from the I'nited Kingdom, which country occupies a commanding pn.'^ilion in tlie imports of nudt li<(Ucirs, liicycles. 58 COI^IMERCIAL AMERICA IX 1907. books, candles, cement, confectionery, cordage and twine, furni- ture, hardware and structural iron, jewelry, boots and shoes, saddlery, machinery, prepared medicines, condensed milk, paint- ers' colors, paper and stationery, patent fuel, rails and rail mate- rial, soap, alcoliolic liquor.«, textiles, ready-made clothing, etc. This long list, it will he observed, consists mainly of articles in the production of which the United States occupies a very high position, and it is but reasonable to expect that when the general difficulty spoken of in the introduction to this study will have been overcome the American manufacturer will be able to com- mand a greater share of the market in question. TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS. [Area, 166 square miles; estimated population in 1904, 5,300.] The population of this small colony is occupied mainly in the fishing industry. Its foreign trade is insignificant. The exports amounted in 1904 to $117,000, against $200,000 in 1897, the highest figures ever reached. They consist mainly of salt, though during the last decade exports of sisal grass assumed some dimensions. The imports are likewise small, averaging $144,000 annually dur- ing the last four years, and consist mainly of breadstuffs and other provisions. The trade of Caicos is mainly with the United States, to which it sent, in 1904, 82 per cent of its total exports, and from which it purchased 62 per cent of its total imports. DANISH WEST INDIES. [Area, 138 square miles; population in 1901, 30,527.] The Danish West Indies consist of the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. The imports and exports of St. Croix for 1904-5 were $885,800 and $483,700, respectively. The imports into St. Thomas and' St. John for the same year amounted to $907,100, bringing the total imports into the colony up to 81,792,900, but the exports within the last decade from the two latter islands can not be ascertained. The imports have grown considerably, while the exports from St. Croix have been declining. These consist mainly of sugar and small quantities of sugar by-products, such as molasses and rum. The quantity of .sugar exported fluctuates between 20 and 30 million pounds annually, and does not show any tendency toward a permanent decline, as the decrease in the value of exports may be explained by a fall in sugar prices. Almost all the sugar exported goes to the United States. The exports from the United States to the Danish West Indies during 1890 amounted to $794,273, in 1900 to $624,524, and in 1907 to $777,577, and the imports from the Danish West Indies into the United States in 1890 were $588,739; in 1900, $568,935, and in 1907, $440,855, consisting almost entirely of sugar. The chief exports from the United States to the islands are breadstuffs and coal. The trade with Denmark is small. The imports into Denmark from the islands in 1904 amounted to $30,000, and the exports from that country to the islands were less than $7,000. Table 86.- -ExpoRTS OF Sugar.

[Area, 403 square miles; population in 1902, ,53,046.] The colony of Curasao consists of the islands of Cura9ao, Bonaire, Aruba, a part of St. Martin, St. Eustachc, and Saba. The trade of this group of small islands is inconsiderable. The imports for the years 1901 to 1905 ar(> shown in Table 87, the data anterior to 1901 being incomplete. The imports into Curasao have increased from $875,000 in 1901 to $1,540,000 in 1905, but these were intended largely for Venezuela. A record of exports is only obtainable since 1903, when they amounted U) $200,000, increasing to $343,000 in 1904 and $386,000 in 1905. Th(>s(- exports consisted largely of straw hats, of which almost 90,000 dozen were exported in 1905, valued at $135,000. Other articles exported were salt, hides and skins, divi- divi, and phosphorous lime. The exports from the United States to the Dutch West Indies were $832,808 in the fiscal year 1905, $751,453 in 1906, and $711,141 in 1907, while the imports from the Dutch West Indies into the United States increased from $193,309 ia 1905 to $356,071 in 1907. These imports consisted of hides and skins, drugs and dyes, and woods, and the total value seems to be equal to the total value of exports from the Dutch West Indies.

[Area, 1,160 square miles; population, 392,140.] The total commerce of the French West Indies in 1904, the latest year for which complete statistics by countries are available, was $10. .329,000, of which$.3,452,000were imports and.$4,877,000exports. Of the imports 35 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports only §11,000 worth was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade with the French West Indies show that the imports from these islands were $128,997 in 1890, $30,176 in 1900, and .$41,019 in 1907: and the exports thereto, which were $1,792,612 in 1890 and $1,867,168 in 1900, decreased to $1,422,025 in 1907, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. GUADELOUPE. [Area, 722 square miles; estimated population in 1903, 182,000.] The total commerce of Guadeloupe in 1904 amounted to a little less than 5 million dollars, nearly equally divided between exports and imports. The United States has practically no share in the export trade of Guadeloupe, but of the imports 34.4 per cent came from the United States. The foreign trade of Guadeloupe does not show any tendency toward increase, the exports fluctuating be- tween 2J and 3^ million dollars and the imports being usually a little larger, or from 3 to 4 million dollars. The figures for 1904, which are the latest available, are considerably below the normal amount of trade, which is probably due to a short crop and the low price of sugar. The little double island of Guadeloupe has specialized in the pro- duction of a few tropical commodities, which are, however, of uni- versal consumption, namely, sugar and its by-product rum, coffee, and cacao. Sugar constitutes al)out two-thirds of the exports — coffee, cacao, and rum being the only other items figuring jirominently in the export statistics of the colcmy. Together these four articles made up over 97 per cent of the exports in 1905. The exports of coffee show but little development. In 1896 they amounted to about 1,462,000 pounds and in 1905 to 1,829,000 pounds. On the other hand, the exports of cacao have almost doubled within the same decade, increasing from 873,000 pounds to 1,400,000 pounds. Practi- cally the entire exports of Guadeloupe are shipped to France, where the colonial cacao, coffee, and sugar are given preferential treat- ment in the tariff. In 1904, 96.5 per cent went to France and 3.2 per cent to French colonies, leaving less than 1 per cent for exportation to foreign countries. With its sugar, rum, coffee, and cacao Guadeloupe buys a large variety of articles for immediate consumption, and the total vol- ume of its imports seems to be quite deijendeiit on the flitftuation of its purchasing power. The main articles of import are foodstuffs, those for 1904 including wheat flour. $288,000: rice, $230,000: cod- fish, §164,000; wine, §151,000: all l)readstuffs except wheat flour, $66,000: salted meats, .$63,000, and smaller quantities of lard, butter, cheese, and vegetables. Of all other articles of import not intended for food consumption, the most important are textiles, such as cot- ton manufactures, $180,000. As Guadeloupe admits French prod- ucts free of duty, almost one-half of its imports come from France, primarily textiles, wines and liquors, and various manufactures: but most of its food products must be obtained from the United States, from which it buys almost all of its salted meats, lard, butter, cotton-seed oil, timber, and lumber. Detailed statements of the trade of Guadeloupe, both by coun- tries and by articles, are given in the statistical appendix, on pages 83 and 113. MARTINIQUE. [Area, 380 square miles; estimated population, 203.780.] The foreign commerce of the island of Martinique has shown a marked decline since the beginning of the eighties. In 1882 it amounted to over 13 million dollars and in 1905 it was only $5,952,000, of which imports were $2,877,000 and exports $3,075,000, the decline being almost equally divided between exjjorts and imports. This falling off of the trade was due to a decline in the sugar industry, reflecting the general condition of the sugar market, resulting from the competition of Ijeet sugar with cane sugar. Even within recent years the exports of raw sugar have fallen off from 76 million pounds in 1896 to 52 million pounds in 1904, though the year 1905 showed some improvement. In addition to the falling off in the quantity of sugar exported, the fall in the price was also a factor in reducing the total value of the exports, and, as a conse- quence, the total value of the imports. The exports of rum have fallen off from 4h million gallons in 1896 to less than 2 million gal- lons in 1904, partly because of the general reducti(m in the sugar industry and partly, perhaps, because of the decline in the demand for that particular spirituous liquor. Xinety-eight per cent of the exports of Martinique in 1905 were shipped to France, and only about .$4,000 worth, or scarcely more than one-tenth of 1 per cent, consisting of raw sugar, to the United States. About twenty-five years ago the imports from Martinique into the United States were quite considerable, amounting to 2 or 3 million dollars, and consisted mainly of raw sugar, but in 1884 this trade began to fall off very rapidly and in five years was reduced to practically nothing. Besides sugar and rum, small quantities of cacao. var\-ing from 700,000 to 1.500,000 jjounds annually, are exported to France. The imports of Martinique during the last five or six years of the nineteenth century amounted to 4i to 5 million dollars annually, but since 1901 have shown a tendency to decline rapidly. In 1901 they amounted to $5,200,000, in 1903 to $3,900,000, and in 1905 to $2,800,000. In this import trade the predominance of the mother country is less pronounced, the imports from France usually representing about one-half of the total, while the United States occupies the second plac;e. In 1905 the imports from France con- stituted 53.7 per cent and those from the United States 34.5 per cent of the total. The main articles of import are wheat flour, coal for use in the sugar industry, cotton manufactures, fish, spirits and wines, and various meat provisions. From the United States are imported most of the meat products, coal, wheat flour, and other grains and grain products, and all the cotton-.seed oil. timljer, and lumber, while the mother country supplies most of the imported preserved fish, some wheat flour, rice, practically all the alcoholic liquors, and most of the manufactured products siu-h as textiles, ready-made clothing, paper manufactures, leather mainifactures, metal manufactures, etc. Detailed statements of the foreign trade of Martinique, both by countries and by articles, are given in the statistical appendix, and will be found on pages 83, 113, and 114. 60 CO^BIERCIAL MIERICA IN 1907. PORTO RICO. [Area, 3,435 square miles; estimated population, 1,000,000.] Porto Rico is situated east of the island of Haiti and west of the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas. Its area is 3,435 square miles (about half the size of New Jersey), and its population in 1904 was estimated at 1,000,000 (61.8 per cent white and 38.2 per cent colored), or 291 persons to the square mile, a density far in excess of the average of the United States (26) and greater than that of any American State except Massachusetts (349) and Rhode Island (407). The dominant and almost exclusive industry of Porto Rico is agriculture. Formerly coffee was by far the most important product. According to the census of 1899, 41 per cent of all the cultivated land was devoted to coffee, 15 per cent to sugar cane, 14 per cent to bananas, 8 per cent to sweet potatoes, 4 per cent to Indian corn, 2 per cent to malangas,.2 per cent to rice, 1 per cent to cocoahuts, and 1 per cent to tobacco. Thus the coffee area at that time waG nearly three times the sugar area, and the value of the products bore about the same relation. Since then the relation has been largely reversed. In 1907 of the entire exports of the island, amounting to $26,996,300, sugar constituted 54.7 per cent, coffee 17.4 per cent, and tobacco 4.2 per cent. The crisis in the coffee industry which brought about this reversal was due to overproduction induced by previous high prices, partial loss of the Spanish market, owing to the imposition of high duties, partial loss of the French market for a similar reason, the change in the money standard, and the hurricane of August 8, 1899. The hope that the figure of the banner year, 1896, namely, 59 million pounds, would be attained within the near future has not yet been realized. On the contrary-, the quantity of exports in 1905 was not quite half so large as in 1904, though more than half in value. However, the conditions for coffee culture are so favorable as regards labor, facilities for transportation, and absence of export duties thjit the present decline can hardly be considered otherwise than as tem- porary. This hope is supported by the fact that the exports of coffee have increased from 16,850,000 pounds in 1905 to 38,757,000 pounds in 1907, and their value from §2,241,000 to .54,670,000. The great development which the sugar industry has assumed since the American occupation is due of course tothe fact that the immense market of the United States became free to the Porto Rican product. The coffee industry did not gain by this change to an equal extent, for the reason that coffee had been on the free list before annexation and so remained. Moreover, the Porto Rican coffee belongs to the class of "mild coffees," which are more popular in Europe than in the United States. Almost immediately after the annexation large tracts of lowlands along the coast were bought by Americans and transformed into sugar plantations, which yield a large income to their owners. Lands which had lain idle for many years were thus transformed into sources of wealth, and soon the most desirable sugar lands had been taken up. From the lowlands the sugar plantations are spreading inland to the line beyond which this crop is no longer profitable. With the increase in the crop there came a change of methods. Everywhere the old processes of manufacture were replaced by modern scientific methods, which extract 10 or 11 per cent of sugar from the cane against the 5 or 7 per cent of former days. The coffee and sugar industries are not rivals. Sugar thrives best in the lowlands and coffee thrives best in the highlands. The two areas do not overlap nor even come in contact. Tobacco is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable staples of export. Large tracts in the interior valleys have been cleared for cultivation and covered with cheese cloth, in the shelter of which the tobacco is grown. Fortunately the best quality of tobacco is found in the highlands and on soils which are unsuitable for other crops, and in this way labor and crops are more evenly distributed over the island. The culture of tobacco is particularly inviting, in that it requires no large capital or expensive machinery and the loss of a crop can be repaired in one year. The climate, rainfall, and soil of Porto Rico indicate on the whole a good country for corn. Farmers report a crop of 60 bushels on new land of good quality and 20 to 25 bushels on old land. In 1897 Porto Rico exported to Cuba 4,246,776 pounds of corn and 7,946 pounds of corn meal, and to Spain 30,133 pounds of corn. No corn was imported in that year, showing that the production was more than sufficient for home consumption. Consideral)lc quantities of rice were produced in former times, but as the rice area is coextensive with the sugar area, sugar, being the more valuable crop, tends to drive out the cultivation of rice. Beans are planted for home consumption, tliough not in sufficient quantity to supply the demand. The same is to be said of sweet potatoes. Bananas are produced in great abundance to furnish shade to the coffee plants and are also grown without reference to coffee. They constitute the principal vegetal^le food of the labor- ing class. The product of bananas per acre on rich land is enormous, in some cases as much as 60,000 pounds of fruit per acre. Nearly all kinds of vegetables can be raised. One gardener near Rio Piedras delivered in San Juan several loads of watermelons, each melon weighing 50 pounds or over. FRUITS. Tropical fruits are produced in Porto Rico in great quantity and perfection, and the output could be largely increased. The orange tree is at home in this mild climate, secure from frost. It grows rapidly and is hardy, healthy, and a marvelous producer. Lands for orange groves may be purchased for from. §5 to $20 per acre. One tree at ilayaguez was observed on which 7,000 oranges were counted. The same remarks apply to limes, lemons, shaddock, and mangoes. An acre planted in cocoanuts produces about 10.000 nuts an- nually, worth $150 on shipboard. The cost of harvesting and load- ing is about .$24 per acre. Pineapples grow in all parts of the island and require very little labor, 8,000 to 10,000 plants being set out on an acre. The guava is produced in abundance. Peaches, pears, figs, and grapes grow well. The culture of the grape was discour- aged in Spanish days, lest it should compete with the wines of Spain. Experiments have shown, however, that the product of the Porto Rican grape is equal to the best. Porto Rico is well adapted to stock raising, having abundant pas- tures of superior grasses (grama, guinea, malojilla) affording pasture all the year round, abundance of pure water, and equable climate. The cattle are of Spanish stock, more or less crossed. The horses also are of Spanish stock, descended from Arabian, and. though small, are very active. Sheep do not prosper, owing to the great humidity. Goats are found in considerable numbers all over the island. Hogs and poultry have thus far been raised but to a limited extent, though the conditions for their maintenance are excellent. The forests of Porto Rico contain woods of great value, such as Spanish cedar, ebony, and sandalwood. Timber, however, is very scarce, and most of that used in building is imported. MANUFACTURES. Manufactures, aside from the establishments connected with coffee and sugar culture, are in their infancy, being limited to cigars and cigarettes, macaroni, chocolate, ice, matches, rum, straw hats, and canning (especially pineapples). TRANSPORTATION. Hardly a point of the island is more than 30 miles from tide water, but the coast is remarkably uniform, -with few indentations present- ing natural harbors. San Juan, on the north coast, is the best port. Others are Ponce on the south coast, Mayaguez on the west coast, and Culebra on Culebra Island, off the east coast. Congress, at its last session, appropriated $750,000 for deepening San Juan harbor to 30 feet. This improvement will be of great importance, as that port is*the natural stopping place for vessels on their way to and from the Panama Canal. COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907 61 No railway has yet penetrated into the rugged interior of the island. The existing railways skirt the coast, almost everywhere in sight of the sea. A circle of rail will soon inclose the island, more than half of it being already completed and most of the rest in course of construction. From Carolina on the north a line runs westward to Camuy; from Ponce on the south a line runs westward and then northward to Aguadilla. The interval between Camuy and Agua- dilla (30 miles^ was completed toward the end of 1906, affording continuous rail connection between Carolina and Ponce. The road from Guayama, near the southeast corner, westward has been built to within 4 miles of Ponce, and when that interval is bridged it will be possible to travel by rail around the western three-fourths of the island. Of the remaining fourth nearly one-half is already cov- ered by a road centering at Fajardo and by others running between Naguabo and Humacao. The total of first-class macadam roads toward the end of the fiscal year 1907 was 511 miles, of which 335 miles had been built since 1898. Two of these roads cross the island from north to south, one from San Juan to Guayama, the other from Arecibo to Ponce. From Caguas, on the San Juan-Guay- amaroad, a road runs to Naguabo on the east coast, and from Cayey. a little north of Guayama, a road runs westward to Ponce. Other important roads are those from Aguadilla to Lares and from Maya- guez to Las Marias, both in the principal coffee region. COMMERCE. The relative positions of the United States and foreign countries in the commerce of Porto Rico have been completely reversed by the change of flag. The change is shown in percentages by the following table: Table 89. — Share of the United States in the Trade of Porto Rico, 1895 and 1905-1907. 1895 1905 (fiscal year) 1906 (fiscal year) 1907 (fiscal year) Imports into Porto Rico. Per cent. 23 84 88 Exports from Porto Rico. Per cent. 19 83 82 82 Imports and exports combined. Per cent. The change was due in part to the removal of the tariff barriers between Porto Rico and the United States and in part to the pres- ence of American traders and American capital in the island, while the trade between Porto Rico and Spain and Cuba, formerly free, became subject to tariff after the American occupation.

Before the American occupation Spain held the foremost place both in imports and in exports, though her ijredoininance was not nearly as decided as is that of the United States at present, as may be seen from the fact that from 1893 to 189G Spain sent 32.52 per cent of the imports and took 24.82 per cent of the exports from Porto Rico, as compared with the 88 per cent of imports and 82 per cent of exports which now represent the share of the United States in the trade of the island. The shifting from coffee to sugar as the leading article of export is shown by comparing the figures for 1895 with those for 1907. \\'hile in 1901 and 1902 practically all the coffee went to foreign countries, in 1903 a considerable quantity, namely, 6,314,686 pounds, valued at $718,531, went to the United States,but this dwindled to less than half in 1904 and almost altogether vanished by 1907. Practically all the sugar went to the United States, the maximum of sugar land molasses) sent to foreign countries in one year, namely. $362,351 worth in 1901, having been but 7 per cent of the total of $5,311,610, while in 1907, out of the total of sugar and molasses exported, worth $15,367,810, only $66,596 worth, or less than one-half of 1 per cent, was sent to foreign countries. This quantity consists almost entirely of molasses, the sugar exports to foreign countries having practically ceased. Sugar was the leading article of export to the United States even before the change of flag. In the case of tobacco, too, the ex- ports to foreign countries have progressively declined, till in 1907, when the total tobacco shipments attained the maximum of $5,489.- 138, the exports to foreign countries formed only $75,318, or 1.4 per cent. A similar phenomenon appears in hides. In 1901 the ex- ports of hides to foreign countries were valued at $42,566; those to the United States at $38,976. In 1907 foreign countries took only $3,556, worth, while the United States took $88,045 worth. In one item only, namely, live animals, have the exports to foreign coun- tries for some time been greatly in excess of the shipments to the United States. By far the greater part of these were cattle shipped to Cuba, which in 1905 amounted to $154,087 out of a total of $280,932 for all live animals, and in 1906 to $127,472 out of a corresponding total of $173,233; but in 1907 the total exports of live animals to for- eign countries had dwindled down to less than $10,000. Aside from the leading articles above mentioned, the only notable products shipped from Porto Rico to the United States are raw cot- ton, which in 1905 amounted to $105,870 and in 1906 to $118,720. but decreased to $22,410 in 1907; and fruits, the exports of which have rapidly increased from $250,847 in 1905 to $496,694 in 1906 and $779,183 in 1907. Among minor articles exported to foreign coun- tries in 1907 were raw cotton, meat products, and manufactures of straw and palm leaf. Among the exports of domestic merchandise from the United States to Porto Rico the most important item in 1907 was rice. $4,165,330, shipments having increased steadily from $1,309,725 in 1901. Next in importance came manufactures of cotton, $3,678,247, in which colored cotton cloths represented the sum of $1,644,968. The increase in this item has been almost continuous since 1901, when it represented $1,659,725. Shipments of iron and steel and manufactures thereof were valued at $3,888,637, the largest part of which consisted of machinery. $2,151,393. In this group, too. tlie steady increase since 1901 was interrupted by a decline in 1904 from $1,434,350 to $1,013,061. Exports of provisions amounted to $2,311,227, the largest items of whicli were salt pork, .$637,819, and lard and lard compounds, $718,578. This group also showed an increase in every year except 1904. Breadstuffs exported amounted to $1,656,4.36, consisting mostly of wheat flour, $1,168,797. Here again there was an increase in every year except 1904. Other nota- ble exports in 1907 were coal, $176,188; fertilizers, $274,310; fish, $418,700; boots and shoes, $645,234; illuminating oil, $165,921; paper and manufactures thereof, $234,998; silk manufactures, $129,372; soap, .$275,561; malt liquors, $211,391; refined sugar, $287,924; tobacco (unmanufactured), $481,490; vegetables. $527.- 662; wood and manufactures thereof, $1,397,767; manufactures of wool, $260,633. TRADE WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES. The $2,602,784 worth of imports into Porto Rico from foreign coun- tries in 1906 consisted of a groat variety of articles, none of which showed a marked predominance. The largest item was fish, of 62 COI^tMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1907. which $514,733 was imported, and included in this item was $460,860 of dried and salted cod and haddock from Canada. In chemicals, drugs, and dyes France, with $48,681 worth out of a total of $81 ,0:^1 , was far in the lead. Cotton manufactures came mainly from the; United Kingdom and Spain. Fertilizers, to the amount of $134,460, came almost exclusively from France. In linens Spain led, closely followed by the United Kingdom. In iron and steel and manufac- tures thereof France led, followed closely by Belgium and the United Kingdom, while Germany's share was relatively unim- portant. Leather and manufactures thereof came almost exclusively from Spain, which also furnished nearly all the olive oil and most of the paper imported from abroad. Nearly all the foreign butter came from Denmark, nearly all the cheese from the Netherlands, and practically all the soap from Spain. In wines Spain was far in the lead, furnisliing about as much as France and Italy together. In vegetables, too, the quantities furnished by Spain exceeded the aggregate of all other contributors. Spain still occupies the leading place among foreign nations in imports into Porto Rico, being closely followed, however, by Brit- ish North America, with its large exports of fish and lumber. Among the foreign countries of destination of Porto Rican exports, Spain would occupy the foremost place were it not that Cuba, with her great demand for Porto Rican cattle and coffee, and France, the great consumer of Porto Rican coffee, had for the most part taken the lead of Spain, Cuba in 1901, 1902, 1904, and 1905, and France in 1902, 1903, and 1904. Germany's purchases from Porto Rico, after increasing from 1901 to 1904, dropped to an insignificant figure in 1905. Austria-Hungary's purchases in 1904 reached $469,778, made up entirely of coffee, as was also the case in 1906 and very nearly in the earlier years. Great Britain's purchases from Porto Rico have been insignificant during the last five years.

[Area (exclusive of Alaska and islands). 3.026,789 square miles; estimated population (including Alaska and Hawaii) June 1, 1907, 85,.593,303.] The total foreign rommeree of the United States in the fiscal year 1907 was $3,315,272,503, of which $1,434,421,425 were imports and -$1,880,851,078 exports. Of the imports, $747,291,253 were from Europe, 8263,576,349 from North America, $160,165,537 from South America, -$212,475,427 from Asia, -$21,127,466 from Africa, and -$29,785,393 from Oceania. Of the exports. $1,298,452,380 were sent to Europe, $349,840,641 to North America, $82,157,174 to South America, §92,703,664 to Asia, $16,511,026 to Africa, and $41,186,193 to Oceania. Of the total above mentioned, the imports from foreign countries into the noncontiguous territory of the United States (exclusive of the Philippines, which for statistical purposes remain foreign territory) amounted to $8,866,787 and the exports from this non- contiguous territory to foreign cotintries ecjualed S6, 645, 767. De- ducting these cjuantities from the totals of the foreign commerce of the United States, we find that the imports into the continental United States were $1,425,554,638, while the exports from the con- tinental United States were $1,874,205,311. But in addition to this, the value of the merchandise received from the noncontiguous territory of the United States (again exclusive of the Philippines, which are included with the statistics of foreign commerce) was $63,297,144 and the shipments to the noncontiguous territory $58,589,290, making the total merchandise entering the ports of the continental United States $1,488,851,782 and that leaving those ports $1,932,794,601, or a grand total of $3,421,646,383. In this calculation Alaska was considered as outside of the continental United States. If Alaska be excluded, the totals would be: Ship- ments entering ports of continental United States, $1,476,696,584; shipments from those ports, §1,914,391,836; total trade. $3,391,- 088,420. Of the imports for 1907 §149,747,693, or 10.44 per cent, consisted of foodstuffs in crude condition and food animals, and $158,656,263, or 11.06 per cent, of foodstuffs partly or wholly manufactured: the crude materials for use in manufacturing amounted to -$477,027,174, or 33.25 per cent; and manufactures for further use in manufactur- ing to §274,096,464, or 19.11 per cent, while manufactiu'es ready for consumption repre.sented the sum of $364,192,884, or 25.39 per cent, leaving $10,700,947, or 0.75 percent, for miscellaneous articles. The domestic exports were distributed among the six classes mentioned as follows: Foodstuffs in crude condition, and food ani- mals, $167,348,227, or 9.03 per cent; food.stuffs partly or wholly manufactured, §345,706,609, or 18.65 per cent: crude materials for use in manufacturing, $593,145,135, or 32 per cent; manufactures for further use in manufacturing, -$259.414. 784, or 13.99 per cent; manufactures ready for consumption, $480,708,667, or 25.93 per cent; miscellaneous, $7,394,612, or 0.40 per cent. The distribution of exports of manufactures in the fiscal year 1907 was §3.54,508,845 to Europe, -$211,834,090 to North America, $71,083,066 to South America. .$56,549,667 to Asia, .$35,636,013 to Oceania, and §10,511,770 to Africa. The census of 1905 showed the total value of all manufactures in the United States to be 11.8 billion dollars, exclusive of mechan- ical and neighborhood industries, the products of which were estimated by the Census Oflice at over 2 billion dollars; the value of farm products in 1906 was estimated by the Secretary of Agriculture at nearly 6.8 billions, and the value of products of tlje mines in 1906 was more than 1.6 billions. The total wealth, as shown by the census reports, was, in 1870, 30 billion dollars; in 1880, 42>. billions; in 1890, ()5 billions; in 1900, 88 billions; and in 1904 more than 107 billions, while the per capita wealth has grown from $780 in 1870 to $1,310 in 1904. The total money in circulation on .Iirno 1, 1907. was -$2,772,9-56,455, or an average of $32.22 per capita. The value of the internal commerce of the I'uited States in 1906 is estimated at 26 billion dollars, or a sum ('(|iial to the entire international commerce of the world. A series of tables showing the commerce and commercial dcveloj)- ment of the I'nited States for a term of j-ears and the dclails of it.s commerce with the- various countries of America will be found in the closing pages of this volume. They .«how in detail the trade with the various American countries and in condensed form the national commerce and development of internal trade conditions from 1800 to 1907. STATISTICAL APPENDIX.
