Commerce of Argentina.

John Barrett. in Review Of Reviews for July.
The Argentine Republic, as II is COM
monty called. Is today one of the most
prosperous and progressive countries. It's
foreign commerce for 1904 reached the
immense total OF s451 463 coo in gold. This
was greater than that of any other Latin
nation, not excepting Mexico and Brazil.
It exceeded the foreign trade of Japan,
OF whose marvellous progress we now hear
so much, and IL went far beyond that OF
China. concerning which there is general
discussion. In other words, Argentina,
with only 5,O000v0 people, showed a buying
and selling capacity in excess OF Japan
with 40,OO0.O00 people. and China with 400.
100000, My comparison is no reflection on
these latter countries, and | have always
been an earnest advocate of the impor
lance of our commercial and political in
terests In the far east, but these should
not overshadow hide what we have at
stake in South America
That Argentina is moving ahead with
proverbial leaps and bounds IS proved by
the fact that her foreign commerce. the
best thermometer of a country's pros
perity. increased 1900, 600 in 1904 over the
total for 1903. which was $500, 00O.O00. rs
timatfng her population. as before stated.
at 100000. she has in the present total of
$451 46S 600 the remarkable average Of near
ly 800 per head. or far greater average
than the United States or any Of the prin-
cipal European countries If this lusty
young giant of South America keeps pro-
crossing at this rate, II will be difficult to
estimate her trade and wealth when she
has a population of 25.O00.000 Unfortu-
nately for the United States. our trade
exchange with Argentina ranks fourth
among foreign countries. after Great
Britain, Germany and France.
