October Sailing Dates From Ports OF
the United States.
The October Selling Dates Bulletin,
just issued by the Bureau of Statis-
ties, Department of Commerce and La
Dor, gives again further evidence of
the activity of trade between the
United States and the American coun-
tries at the soath. The sailing dates
announced from various ports of the,
United States to tfa various American
countries and ports at the south, in
Guiding in this term Mexico, Central
and South America. and the West In
dian Islands, number over 400 for the
single month of October. While this
total includes in a. few instances more
than one departure for a single YES
sci by reason Of the fnct that few
of the vessels touch at more than one
port OF the United States, the grand
total of departures for ports and coun-
tries to the south OF us approximates
400 for the single month, while the
October departures for the various
ports and countries Of the world run
into the Thousands.
This large number of vessel depart
ures for the American countries lying
south Of the United States, running at
the rate OF approximately 400 a
month, Is incidental to the remarka bly,
rapid growth in recent years in the
trade OF the United States with that
part OF the world. Imports from Amer
lean countries and islands lying south
of the United States have grown from
s212, 600, 900 a decade ago to S3S6,000,-
900 in 1911. and the exports from the
United States to those countries and
islands have grown ia the same time
from $3.50, 100000 In 1901 to $3.50, e00, 0e0
in 1911.
This rapid growth in trade with this
section of the world Is due, N part at
least, to the growing demand on the
part of the United States for tropical
and subtropicai products, and the
equally growing demand in the coun-
tries. mentioned for manufactures.
The value OF the tropical and subtrop
ical products brought into the United
States has grown from 1886, 900, 900 in
1900 to $es6, 100000 in 1910, and the
figures for the fiscal year 1911 may
show an even larger total. since coffee
alone shows an Increase OF oyer 500
600 000 in imports IN 1911, compared
with 1e1O, cocoa. raw cotton and nu-
merous other articles also showing
more or less increase. On the other
hand, the exports Of manufactures
from the United States for the fiscal
year 1911 were over 5000, 000, 900 against
S446, 900, 900 a decade ago. and the
value Of all exports to Soutt, America
alone sos. 100000, agains. $44,000.o00 a
decade ago.

ferred to shows departures from each
port of the United States to the prin-
cipa1 ports and countries of the world,
