Gigantic Strides Of the South.

The entrance of the south into the trade
of the orient is spoken of. as a novel feature
of our expansion In the production and
expectation of cotton the southern states
have made gigantic strides of late. The
acquisition of the Hawaiian and Philippine
Island it IS declared, has converted our
Pacific slope from mere outpost of trade
into hive of commerce. while Cuba and
Porto Rico offer the southern states con-
venient stepping stones to Latin-American
trade.
Taking the great geographical divisions
in alphabetical order, ii is stated that Afri-
ca is rapidly becoming a promising field
for American enterprise, wherever artificial
restrictions are not imposed In the west
there is an increasing demand for Ameri-
can goods. In East Africa it is noticea BILE
that in Madagascar where France imposes
a tariff discriminating in favor of her own
products, our cotton goods trade, once con-
siderable, has been practically destroyed
whereas in Zanzibar. the Somali country
and Abyssinia, where such restrictions do
not exist, it continues to grow The war
in South Africa has deranged the trade
but great increase in American trade is
looked for when peace shall have been re-
stored.

Control Half of Canada's Trade.

On our own continent We still control
more than one-half of Canada's trade; with
Mexico our trade relations are most salts
factory and our goods appear to be MAX
ing steady progress in Central America. In
this connection attention is called to the
increasing investment of German capital
in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua,
which is estimated at $67, 600, 600.
In the West Indies. and especially the
British possessions, our trade is constantly
growing, and these islands draw the bulk of
imported food supplies from u.s. as well as
an increasing proportion of manufactured
goods.
In Cuba and Porto Rico sufficient time
has not yet elapsed, 1t is stated, for re-
cuperation from the war and the readjust-
ment of industrial and commercial condi-
lions, but in both islands trade is beginning
to revive with the promise of gradual de-
Velopment on the lines of closer intimacy
with the United States.
In South America the trade has developed
slowly, except in Argentina and Peru where
1t has increased rapidly of late
AS a matter of keen interest to the whole
commercial world the progress Of events in
cussed at length. The United States is
shown to have suffered as seriously, if not
more so, than any other nation from the
fact that the bulk of our exports had been
disposed OF IN north China-the scene Of
most active disturbance. A decided increase
of our expectation to Asiatic Russia has
taken place, and the winter of 1S99-19OO
witnessed an enormous import of American
products into the Amur province.
Importance of Japan.
Japan is an important gateway for our
Chinese trade. Our trade with that country
itself is steadily growing. The fears of jap
anese competition, which a few years ago
caused some concern in the United States,
have not been borne out. and it is stated
that Japan may be able to compete with us
at some points in the future, but her gen.
eral development seems to mean increasing
purchasing power and larger consump-
ton Of our goods OF the other Asiatic

toward the development of Corea, espe-
clally as to the gold mines, and in Persia
ana Aslauc Turkey American goods are
finding their way in spite of adverse condi-
tons
During the last decade our export trade
with Australia has increased in value more
than 100 per cent, and We export to
Australia six times as much as Germany
does, and stand next to Great Britain in
the supply Of that commonwealth

conditions in European Countries.
Or the European countries, in Great Brit
ain our consular officers report the steady
progress Of American goods in popular
favor The extensive introduction Of Amer
lean machinery and tools into England and
upon the continent Is cited to show that
improved machinery, once regarded the
zoe OF labor. has proved itself the most
trenchant weapon of American workingmen
in the competition for foreign trade.
Iak1ng up the continental countries in
alphabetical order. it is stated that in Aus
trla-Hungary conditions are improving, and
the empire Is recovering from a great de-
preston In trade that prevailed early in
l9oo, caused largely by the big coal strikes
FROM Belgium our consuS report that de-
preston Is beginning to be felt, and Amer
lean exports to that country generally have
not increased. In France, American goods
are very popular. Consul Skinner at Mar
settles notes improvements in French fac
tories, and tendency on the part of large
corporations to absorb smaller ones. In
German industries, Consul General Mason
at Berlin notes a general stringency caused
by the over financing of foreign enterprises.
Germany, after Great Britain, is our best
customer abroad, and has the advantage
OF us according to the consul general in
hlgher technical education, cheaper and
more tractable labor. and efficient mer
chant marine. In the Netherlands Ameri
can tools, office furniture, bicycles and
typeWr1ters continue to meet with favor.
Russia is satisfied to be making rapid
progress in the development of her natural
resources, and seems especially inclined to
take American goods and welcome Ameri-
can capital and enterprise Her finances
are in the best condition, and her progress
i'll building railroads, harbors and other
public works is especially notable. AS to
Spain, 1t would appear that the loss of her
colonial possessions has been economically
beneficial, instead of injurious, as the trans
Ter of capital and industry from colonial
to home enterprises has brought a health
full development of her resources, especially
as to mineral wealth and the production of
beet sugar. In Sweden and Norway and in
Switzerland there is growth in the importa-
ton of American manufactures and the
prospect of steady development. There has
been gratifying increase in the amount
and variety of American goods at Turkish
ports. owing to the establishment of a d.
rect line of steamships from New York
and Turkey promises to be fertile field for
American goods
On the whole it would appear that no.
where does the United States appear to dis
advantage in foreign trade. The bureaus
statement closes with warm commentator
of the zeal of our consular officers abroad
in preparing and transmitting their reports.
