95 per cent. of her exports to extra South American communities.
 Nearly half the goods shipped from the United States to Asia are destined for eXtra-ASiatie communities and practically all of Africa's trade stables find markets outside the dark cont!- nent. While trade between the Euro pean nations is considerable, those countries ship a large part of their surplus products to other parts of the world.
 Enlarging Shipping Facilities.
 Recent consular advices indicate that many of the leading nations are enlarging their shipping facilities for trade through the Panama canal, for it is expected the markets of South America and Austi alasia will be sti;n- ulated by the opening of the canal
 The countries fronting on the Pact- tic have an aggregate import trade of over $5,O00,OOO,o00 and it is re~ lieved that share of the United States in that trade will be advan- tageously affected through short.n- ing of distances and improvements in transport facilities.
 Of that trade we now supply about 13 per cent, a much smaller prupor- tiOn than appears in our trade with nearer and better served communities from the standpoint of stea msnip lines.

UNITED STATES SIXTH
 IN OvERSfA CARRIERS
UnC!e Sam'S Vessels Rank Second
 in Total. Tonnage.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The world $ mately 31,0O0 vessels, With an aggre- gate capacity of 47,OOO,OO0 gross tons and has nearly doubled in capacity during the last twenty years.
 In number however, the commerce fleet has decreased slightly, thus show ing tentency toward larger carrying l units. These figures are based on the tonnage of all vessels over 100 tons engaged in trade, whether domestic or foreign, on ocean. river and lake. This country is tied With Germany for second place in the number and tonnage of vessels engaged in com merce, but this is due to the vas. number of vessels engaged in lake and ocean coastwise trade, since the mum Der of American vessels engaged in foreign trade, according to reports received by the bureau of foreign commerce, Department of Commerce, is less than that of Great Britair Germany, France, Italy or Norway.
 The Total ,ronnage.
 According to a recent statement of Lloyd's out of total tonnage of i7,- 00O,O00 gross tons in 1913-14, 40 per cent. were credited to Great Britain II per cent. to the United States. l! per cent. to Germany, about per cent. each to Norway and France. 5 per cent. each to Holland, Italy dno Japan, and from 2 3-4 to 1 3-4 per cent. to Russia, Sweden, Austria-hun gary, Denmark and Spain.
 The carrying trade of the United States shows a marked growth in coastwise and lake traffic and a de. cline on the ocean. While the gross tonnage of American vessels engaged in lake and coastwise trade was in- creased from 3,657,3O4 tons in 1883 to 9,798,561 tons in 1913 that of our vessels in the foreign trade was de- creasing from 1,302,O95 tons to 1,O17.- 776 tons, an increase in one case ot 168 per cent, and a decrease in the other of 21 per cent. during a thirty year period in which the value of our foreign trade rose from $1,50O,0O0, 0,OuO to $4,250, 900.
 The volume of the oversea con. merce served by the worlds merchant marine cannot be definitely stated It is known, however, that a considerable portion of the $4O,O0O, O,OOO,O0O worth of merchandise imported and exported: by the various nations is carried by vessel. f.
 British Trade.
 The United Kingdom being an island commu unity necessarily imports and exports all it's merchandise, by vessel. The United States sends about four fifths of its exports to South America. and overseas countries. Brazil sends

SEC. N'ADOO CALLS
 TRADE CONFERENCE
Exchange Bankers and Shippers to
 Meet on August l4th.

Washington, Aug. S.-Secretary Me- Adoo, as chairman of the committee appointed to handle the financial and commercial problems growing out of the European war issued call yester- day for a conference of representa- \ tives of the leading shipping concerns and foreign exchange banks to meet at the treasury department on August II.
 MT. McAdoo in a statement an nounced that it is vitally important that sufficient ships be found to move the grain and cotton crops and that the market for bills of exchange be restored through the American bankers.
 Many Supreme Problems.
 The marketing of the crops and | providing means for receiving pay ments from abroad, together With the ! detailed questions of what is contra band of war and of providing insur- f ance for crop cargoes while in trans ! portation, are regarded as the supreme l problems which must now be faced.
 President Wilson and his advisors 7 feel that adequate provision has been | i stranded in Europe and for bringing ! them back home.
 Secretary Mc4Adoo's Statement.
 Secretary McAdoo's announcement i follows:
 Tt is of vital importance to the ! country that two things be done as ! quickly as possible:
 "First-Provide ships to move our I grain and cotton crops to European markets, and
 "Second-Restore through the i bankers the market for foreign bills lof exchange.
 For the purpose of concerting measures to this end I have today called conference of the represen- tatives of the leading shipping inter- ests and foreign exchange bankers to meet at the treasury department on August IA, at II o'clock a. m.
 Very Pressing Problems.
 "Grain is a very pressing problem at present, because the crops have l been largely harvested and the move7 ment is already we'll under way. The cotton movement is not so advanced ard will not be for few weeks.
 Tt is my purpose to invite con- ference on the subject of cotton to be \ held at an early day of which an an- nouncement will be made later. These are important questions, and every possible effort will be made by the administration to cooperate in the movement of these great crops.
