ConmeTce of Allslel 1T, 1920 showed decline amounting to snore than il million doll;urs in value in comparison to that of 1919( but the cnnd5tiun of trade in the Territory ;,t the end of 1920 was much better than in the pre- vfous year us commerce of 1919 was mora than F million dollars Tess than that of 1918, show figures received by the Alaska Burstu of the Chamber of Commerce from the United States Ser vice for Alaska from the port of .Iu- neau
 Tre report says: "The balance of trade in favor of Alaska is about St,- 800, 900 more than that of 1919. With an equally favorable balance of trade the exports last year showed a high percentage of loss from the prev.ous year while a more stable condition is noted in that the imports and exports have been about the same for the last two years
 "Slowly but surely for several years past. during which time some or the greatest developments have taken place sthus enchanting the imports, the re,a- Hive position of the tmports and ex jponts have been gradually changing. There has been a gradual gain of ex- ports over imports. The relative de- frease in imports show that We are
 producing more of the necessities of life for use in the Territory and in tonseq,sence becoming less dependent hpon tho rest of the world for our leeds. This indicates general im- movement in the industries. which. if accompanied next year by a more set led market for our products. should
 ave a tendency toward increasing (ctNities in the established trades and
 baking further development attrac-
