ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Consul Baker Gives the Trade Returns
American Fifth In the List.

Consul Baker Gives the Trade Returns
American Fifth In the List.
Under date of August % 4. L. Baker,
United States Consul to Buenos Ayres, has
forwarded to the State department tran
script Of the trade returns to the Argentine
Republic for the six months ended June 30,
1899, as published by the National Statistics
office. The totals show an increase over the
corresponding period Of 1888, in exports OF
$40, $3.50, 100 and imports of Sll,9l0,940. Mr..
Baker SAYS: "Were these exports the legiti-
mate products of the country, the increase
would be a most gratifying circumstance.
Unfortunately, however, more than this en-
tire increase Is nothing more than the drain
age Of gold from the country to pay the large
balance Of trade against the Argentine Re
public Of the previous year. And the appar-
ent excess of imports over exports for the
six months, amounting to $14,73O,29S, is a
mere fiction, as the imports actually exceed
the legitimate exports by S9,204,901, and TO
meet which balance Of trade there must be
still further drainage Of gold. Great Britain
continues her supremacy more emphatically
than ever, with France also far In the lead of
all the other countries. The two together
nearly divide the trade of the Argentine Re
public. While the trade with the United
States has really increased, our relative posi-
ton, as fifth in the category, continues the
same. Both Germany and Belgium also show
a considerable increase In their trade, espe-
cially the former, which now occupies the
third place In the category.
