PANAMA TRADE
GROWS RAPIDLY
ENORMOUS INCREASE IN Elk.
PORTS SINCE CONSTRUCTION
OF CANAL BEGAN.

Washington, April 24-An indica-
ton of the stimulation of trade and
industry in the Republic Of Panama
and the Canal Zone in the brief
period since the United States began
work on the Panama Canal is con.
tanned in recent figures compiled by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce.
They show that over 10 million dol
lars worth of American merchandise
has been exported to Panama and the
Canal Zone during the last 10 years,
and that "a million dollars worth OF
products of Panama entered the Uni
ted States during the same period.
The record of our trade with Pana
ma begins with 1904. In that year
our exports to the Isthmian Republic
were valued at about $2,5OO,O00. In
1907, the year in which active canal.
building operations began, the total
rose to IS 2-3 million, and in 1912 and
1913, respectively, the exports were
only little under rs million dollars
in value, the crest of the movement
having been reached in 1912. Our
exports to Panama thus increased
nearly tenfold in 10 years, while i'm
ports from that country steadily grew,
though at much slower rate, from
less than l million dollars in 1904 and
1905 to a little less than million last
year.
This remarkable expansion of our
export trade with Panama was largely
due to purchases of supplies for canal
construction and commissary is appar-
ent from a comparison of our own
figures with the corresponding import
statements of the Panama Govern
ment. The latter indicated for 1912
only 5 IL million dollars worth of
imports from the United States and
4 IL million from other countries, an
aggregate importation of 10 million |
dollars in value, or less than one.half |
the declared value of our known ex-
bors to Panama.

He filed his pipe and climbed the
staircase to the upper floor. There
were many bedrooms with great four
posted, canopied beds and old-fash-
Toned carved furniture of mahogany
and curiy-maplA. and In one he found
a great cedar-lfnsd chest filed with
bed-linen and napery. In these rooms
we're more evidences of decay. The
bedroom he mentally chose for his
own was the plainest Of all, and was
above the library, fronting the vaga-
bond garden. It had a great black
desk with many glass-knobbed draw
ers and a book-rack.
He fingered longest In a room
whose door was painted The Hilarium.
It had evidently been a nursery and
schoolroom. Here on the walls were
many shelves wound over with net
works Of cobwebs, and piled with the
oldest assemblage of toys. There
were school-books, too. thumbed and
dog-eared, from First Reader to
Caesars Gallic Wars, with names Of
small Valiants scrawled on their fly
leaves. He carefully relocked the door
OF this room; he wanted to dust those
toys and books with his own hands.
In the upper hall again he leaned
from the window, shifting the far
flung scent Of orchards and peach
blown fence-rows. The soft whirring
sound Of birds wing went past, al.
most brushing his startled face, and
the old oaks seemed to stretch their
bent limbs with a faithful brute-like
yawn Of pleasure. In the room below
he could hear the vigorous sound Of
Aunt Daphne's hard-driven broom and
the sound flooded the echoing space
with comfortable commotion.
He went to his trunk and f1shed out
a soft shirt on which he knotted q
loose tie. exchanged his Panama for
a slouch hat, and whistling the bar
