A GROWING TRADE ROUTE.
Canal Record Expects a Large Traffic
When Peace Comes.

Nebraska state JOURNAL
The Canal Record has been study
ing the use made of the new water
way to discover if possible what per
manent changes it is likely to make
in the trade routes of the world. A.
was expected, the heaviest traffic is
etwee the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States. A great
variety of manufactured goods and
general merchandise are carried from
the ports of the East to the Califor-
MIA and Puget Sound cities and also
to Honolulu. On the eaStbOund yoy-
age these vessels carry canned goods,
lumber, sugar, pinapples and Wine.
The route of second Importance lies
between the eastern coast Of the Uni
ted States and the west coast Of South
America. These vessels carry manu-
featured goods from the United States
and Europe, including lumber from
the Southern States. Or their north
ward voyage the cargoes are princi-
pally nitrates from Chile( with some
raw material produced in the western
countries of South America. A third
trade route Of much Importance lies
between the Pacific ports and Eruope.
Grain and lumber with some salmon
and a limited quantity Of other canned
goods, make up h cargoes trans
| ported over his route. The fourth
| important route is from the Atlantic
| seaboard Of the United States to
Asia. Miscellaneous goods, petroleum.
and cotton are a leading factor In the
movement toward the Orient. While
silk and other products Of Asia fill
the vessels on the return. It is the
opinion of the canal authorities that
the trade of these -four great routes
will steadily increase, while with the
coming OF peace, q miscellaneous
movement Of vessels from all the sew
