The efforts of the Department Of
State to enlarge the trade and COM
merce of tine United States, through T.
the agency Of consular officers and
through the dissemination Of infor-
nation obtained from them, have
been unre.axed. The interest in
these efforts, as developed in our
commercial communities, and the
value Of the Information secured by F.
this means, 70 the trade and manu- /
fJcturc of the country, were recOg- I
nized by Congress at It's last session, Z
and provision was made for the
more frequent publication Of consul .
lar and other reports by the Depart (

this publication has now been pre- +

ports Of consular officers are witness

by all classes Of merchants and !
manufacturers engaged in our for
eign trade. 1t Is believed that the
system of such publications Is de- .
serving Of the approval Of Congress, (
and that the necessary appropria-
tions forts continuance and enlarge
ment will commend itself to vour
consideration.
The prosperous energies Of our
domestic industries, and their i'm
mense production OF the subjects Of
foreign commerce, invite, and even
reyuirc. an active development Of
the wishes and interests of our peo-
pie in that direction. Especially
important is it that our commercial .
relations with the Atlantic and Pa
cifc coJs-s of South America, with
the west Indies and the Gulf Of
