ing special attention during the past
year 10 the study of fields heretofore
greatly neglected, specially as regards
a market for our agricultural products
IA nelly, t southern, oil, as they are
generlly called, Latin. American repub-
lies. Special reports have been pre-
pared in the Statistical Division of
the Department for information of
American exporters in regard to the
agricultugl al resources of several of
these REPUBLICS, the characters of their
home products being very good indi-
cation as 10 the character of the pro-
ducts which it is necessary for them
to import.
As matter of fact, while the bal
ance of trade between the United
States and these countries is largely
against the former. they do import a
considerable quantity of products of
which American farmers produce a
surplus, but that trade is at present
almost mOnopolized by Europeans.
There has just been sent TO the
Public Printer from the Department
a bulletin consisting of the several
articles referred to as already pub
lished. and others which have not
heretofore been printed. together
with some interesting figures showing
the exact condition of our trade With
these countries. it is made very clear
that the vast area Of the United States,
being mainly in the temperate zone
and the principal area of the Latin
American re publics being in tropical
orsub-tropical zones, the characters of
their products will be necessarily dis
similar, and a profitable interchange
should, therefore, Inure to the benefit
of both the United States and South
America.
To place these facts before the Amer.
lean people this bulletin has been pre-
pared, andi will furnish additional
evidence of the shrewdness aud sag
aclty with which the Secretary Of
Agriculture watches over the interests
conhded to his care.
