The total importat!ons OF the Atlantic
ports. however. fell 2i.4 per cent. while
the. total importatioDs into the country
decreased but 1913 per cent The Gulf
ports did not. as a whole. maintain the
rate Of increase which the country at
large made In imports, their gain being
but per cent. against an average OF 153
per cent for the total whil- their loss In
imports was still greater. being 299 per
cent. against an average of 1875 per cent.
for the entire country.
The Pacific ports made the most salts
