Effect Of the Panama Canal on the
Worlds Commercial Geography

a quality suitable for steamship en-
gines. and even favorable winds and
ocean currents are among the factors
contributing the the success Of routes
of travel upon the ocean.
1.-THE sections of the world which
may be considered as probably within
the sphere OF influence of the Panama
Canal are the eastern and western
coasts of America, the eastern coast of
Asia and the islands of the Pacific. All
of western America Is nearer to Eu-
rope than formerly and all OF western
America and most OF eastern Asia and
Oceania are nearer to the eastern coast
of America. A study of the production
and consumption of the various coun-
tries lying within the canals sphere of
influence shows that their various pro-
ducts are thoroughly interchangeable.
"A study of distances also shows that
both New York and New Orleans are
now so much nearer to all of western
America than is Liverpool that we
may expect an increasing share of the
trade of that section to fall to the lot
of eastern North America; that the
eastern ports of the United States are
considerably nearer to Yokohama, Mel
bourne, Sydney and wellington than
is Liverpool by her shortest route, but
that Liverpool is still nearer Hong
kong and Manila than either New
York or New Orleans via Panama.
zone of the most important results
OF the opening of the canal will doubt
less be found in it's effect upon the
movements Of merchandise between
the eastern and western sections of the
United States. The data at hand
SENS to justify an estimate of about
100000 tons per annum of freight
moved by rail and about half mill
lion tons by water from the Atlantic
coast section to the Pacific coast sec
ton, and about an equal amount from
the Pacific coast section and Hawaii
to the Atlantic coast section. The
freight charges on these 100000 tons
are estimated at from $50 to 300 mil
lion dollars per annum The canal
will chop huge amounts from these
charges"

UNPUBLISHED POEM

London Sept. S.-Lord Tennysop,
son of the poet, at a patriotic meeting

What bloody portent flashes there

Washington, Sept. S.-The National
Geographic society has issued the fol-
lowing statement on the probable eff
feet of the Panama Canal on the COM
mercial geography of the world. today:
TT seems that the Panama Canal
will carry most of the freight passing
between the eastern coast of the Unit
ed States and the western coast OF
Latin America, and that the shorter
distance and lower rates which 1t Of
fers will greatly increase that trade;
that the trade between the eastern and
western sections of the United States
will be greatly increased and transport
ed at much lower charge per ton;
that it Will sufficiently shorten the dis
tances to Japan, northern China, Aus
tralia, and New Zealand to increase
steamship service and materially In
crease the traffic with those countries.
and that the European countries will
use the canal in most of their traffic
with western America and In excep-
tional cases with northern Asia, Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
1.-THE canal has shortened travel
routes between New York and Yolso-
hama by $3.50 miles; between New York
and Shanghai about 1000 miles; be-
tween New York and Australia by from
$500 to 1000 miles. 1t also reduces the
distance from Europe to western South
America by more than 5000 miles. In
ternational commerce doubled in the
so years following the opening of the
Suez canal, and business and personal
anter- relationship between the Occi-
Hent and Orient was increased in like
proportion. Will similar results fol-
Tow the like shortening Of trade and

given points is not always the best
