Comparing the exports of 1899 and
1909 1t Is found that those from Gulf
ports have increased ITO per cent. in
the 10 years. The exports from At.
lantic ports increased only II per
cent during the same period. OF the
seventeen Atlantic ports showing
either large or small increases dur
ing the ten years, sever are Southern
ports. The greatest increase in ex-
ports made by any one. of the seven
was s~26.S70,5s4 at Savannah, Georgia,
showing a growth OF o than Ill
per cent over 1899. The greatest pro-
p%ortfonate increase was made by St.

over 700 per cent. The other note
worthy increases We're Wilmington,
N. G. 10 per cent; ~Fernandina, Fla.
1o2 per cent; and Brunswick. Ga.
AZ per cent. Another matter worthy
OF cheerful consideration Is that
whereas in 1899 the exports from the
Gulf ports equalled only % per cent.
of the exports from Atlantic ports. in
1909 they equalled al per cent.
The import figures for the 10 years
prove a closer touch of Southern ports
with the commerce of the world. for
while Atlantic ports increased in the
10 year, 7 per cent, Gulf ports In
creased 240 per cent. As evidence
that the increase of rs per cent. made
by Atlantic ports was largely de-
pendent upon the increases made by
South Atlantic ports, the following
cities and their increases are mention
