SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

Facts and figures, compiled and
condensed from the voluminous repori-
Of the departments at Washington.
bring out some very interesting trade
data These statistics snow that IN
eleven months ending with May, the
total shipping clcaranccs from Ameri-
cans ports were about | per cent less
than in the corresponding part of the
previous year. This measures the
amount OF destruction or diversion OF
commercial shipping due TO the sub
marine and war needs
I'ut in spite OF the curtailment OF
shipping. our export trade to South
America is expanding rapidly. or
course. the figures of values reflect
the increase of prices, but after max

Is an increase, or only Il very modcra e
decrease, in the quantity Of our en-
ports.
Eeforc the war our exports TO South
America reached their highest point

ton OF the ordinary course OF Touth
American trade, reduced our exports
to s99,oo0.000. But in 1916 the exports
were SlS0,000.000. and I'm the fiscal
year OF l9l7 they were very close to
S2G0.0O0.000. For 1918, estimating the
month OF June, the total was well over
$500. 0OO. 900 The actual figures for
eleven months are s2S2,5ll.OSl The
exports must be very much greater
than in the best previous year 1913
after liberal allowance has been made
