FOREIGN TRADE
SHOWS INCREASE
Almost One-Half Of Manu-.

Sometime in January there win be
held at Washington the second Pan
American Financial Congress-.
This Pan American financial con-
gress is expected to supplement the
second pan American commercial con-
,gress. which was held In mid-sum-
mer. There are observed gratifying
effects consequent upon the meeting
Of the twelve hundred delegates who
represented the official. commercial.
financial and business life OF all the
American republics at the meeting.
Not the least among these crafty
ing results is the certainty that with
In a short time there will have been
established adequate steamship faciii-
ties between the United States and
the ports OF the South American
countries.
II is reported that from the United
States come almost exactly one-half
of the manufactured products that en-
ter into international trade. This Is
spoken OF as amazing increase since
1914 Just before Germany began her
march across Belgium the manufac-
tured products of this country which
entered into international trade were
less than one-sixth of the total trade
of that kind. Now in five years this
country is supplying almost one-half
Of the manufactures. and a consider
able portion of this goes with the
South American countries.
The director general Of the Pan
American Union. John Barrett, who is
regarded as possessing the most COM
plete information respecting CONNER
cial. financial and industrial condi-
ton In South America. ventured to
state recently the United States can
with confidence look forward to the
statistics which will be reported at
the end OF the fiscal year 1890. as show
ing the largest and best Pan Amer
lean Commerce that has ever been
known. at least in peace time. Mr..
Barrett speaks with enthusiasm OF the
fact that our shipping board purposes
furnishing adequate shipping facilities
SO that the needs OF the Pan Amer
lean trade will be fully met: Our re-
lations should constantly increase and
the best authorities are OF the opinion
that within a few years our largest
international trade. by many millions
the largest. will be that which is main
tanned between Canada and the United
States and between this country and
