RECORDS OF VARIOUS PORTS.
Indicate Great Growth in Export
Trade to Asia and the South.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

EhrI otE,lAb.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The record of the
year just ended will show a marked change
In the share which the various ports have
had in the distribution of the exports OF
The United States.
The Gulf ports show a falling off of
about 13 per cent in exports as compared
with last year, and the Atlantic Coast ports
n decline of about 10 per cent; while the
lake and northern border ports show a gain
of 3 per cent, the Pacific Coast ports a gain
of 10 per cent and the Mexican border ports
an Increase of % per cent.
These marked contrasts, in which the
ports tributary to the Atlantic show a re-
duction and those on the Pacific or fronting
upon contiguous territory show an increase,
are in keeping with the general trend of the
years in which exports to
Europe show a marked decline and those to
Asia and to the contiguous territory at the
north and south a marked growth.
Exports to Europe especially We're affected
by the crop failure Of last year, since
breadstuffs and provisions form the large
proportion of the sales of the United
States to that part of the world, while our
exports to Asia. Mexico ard Canaca were
less affected by crop failures; siace manu-
features form the bulk of cur sales to those
parts of the world. Hence the decrease in
shipments through Gulf and Atlant:c ports
and the increase in those through Pacific
ports and those fronting lipO-. contiguous
territory.
