HOPE TO DIVERT TRADE.
American Exporters Look for South
American Imports Via Canal.

1t Is one of the peculiar conditions of
international trade between North
America and South America that
whereas South America sells more of
its surplus to the United States than
To- the rest of the world. yet when the
South Americans come to buy from
other countries they spend only 81 out
of every SIS in the United States-the
other 81 goes to Europe.
1t is the hope OF American exporters
that with the opening OF the Panama
canal these figures OF South American
import business may be reve rsed ana
that the United States will get the 81
worth of trade where Europe will get
81 worth. When il Is RENE mbered that
the canal will bring the IN ddle western
coast of South America closer 70 New
York by water than to San Francisco.
il will be seen how thoroughly the
United States Is entitled to the lions
share of its trade
The possibilities of trade between the
United States and South America are
set forth in 1.-THE Panama Canal by
Frederic j. Haskin. His chapter on
THE New Commercial Map will in
terest every American who is desirous
OF seeing the export business Of his
country expand. You Will see in an
