CROWD OUT OUR SHIPS.
British and German Vessels Get
ChiIe's Trade.

British and German Vessels Get
ChiIe's Trade.
Consul Mansfield, at Valparaiso, in a
report to the state department says
that out of total of 1900, 900 annual
tonnage of vessels entering Chilean
ports those flying the American flag
represented only $4,000 tons. Great
Britain's flag covered 100000 tons
and German ships aggregated 5000, 900
tons. The trade of the United States
fell back from $11,000,OO0 in 1903 to
$10,000,000 in 1904, Notwithstanding
Chile greatly increased her purchases.
The Chilean government, the consul
says. is planning many new railroads
and extensions. The transandine RAJ
way, when completed, will shorten the
time between Chile and Europe 10 or
IL days. Consul Leroy, at Durango.
writes that Mexico will soon have to
import wheat.
Consul General Thackeray, at Der.
lin, reports that the United States pur-
chased nearly $15,000,000 more mer-
chandise from the empire last year
than in 1904, mostly manufactured
goods, but that the sales of American
manufactured goods to Germany, aside
from lard and petroleum, in 1905, did
not equal $15,000,00O.
