Foreign Carrying Trade of

BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.

TIME value of the sea borne
foreign commerce of the
United States during the
year ending June so, 1912, was
sS,4S1, 470,423. Its value for the
year ending June 80, 1918, was
$S,77S,O6O,924, a gain in one year
Of $541, 59O,5O1.
The foreign commerce Of the
United States carried under the
American flag in the year 1912
was sSs2,451, $50, or s1s,OOo,O0O
less than the increased commerce
Of the United States in a single
year,
Which means that the total
tonnage under the American flag
IN 1912 would not have been equal
TO the carrying of the increase in
the foreign commerce alone for
the year 1913.
During the year ending June so,
1913, British vessels increased
their carrying Of American
foreign commerce to the extent of
Sl6O.245,475 over the previous
year. in which year the gain Of
British shipping equaled nearly
