Profits Continue

Offset Losses Of Trade
With European Areas

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-Shipping
company profits are running at
relatively high levels. and some OBJ
servers believe that, unless the war
comes to an early end with Britain
mia no longer ruling the waves, the
earnings of our merchant fleet
should continue to rise.
Virtually all Of our vessels af-
fected by the neutrality proclama-
lions have been transferred to
profitable routes outside war zones"
says an analysis just released by
Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. THE coastal trade is ex-
periencing a good volume of opera
tons. Although labor, operating
costs and insurance rates have re-
strlcted profit margins somewhat,
demand has been large enough to
permit freight rate increases more
than sufficient to offset higher costs
Further upward rate adjustments
can be reasonably expected if de-
mand continues to expand
While shipbuilding operations
have been speeded up here and
abroad, the rate of war loss in re-
cent weeks by air bombs and tor
pedoes is believed to have exceeded
the rate of replacement, resulting
in net loss in world tonnage. At
the same time this country is TAX
ing ships out of the cargo service
in connection with the defense pro-
gram. The Navy recently bought
for use as auxiliary vessels, ships
from private American shipowners,
and it is reported that the Army
is in the market for several ships
for possible use as transports.
Trade Areas Backed Out.
AS many observers feared it would,
the war has BACKED out our trade
with wide areas-the Scandinavian
countries, Holland, Belgium; and
with the fall of France and Italy's
entry into the conflict, some $l25,-
100000 in annual trade with small
nations in the eastern Mediterra-
mean went by the board. But, as it
has turned out so far, however,
gains in other directions have more
than Offset such losses.
If the war lasts, prospects now
are that our export trade this
year-due to heavy demands from
Great Britain and Canada and the
markets gained in countries shut
off from their pre-war sources OF
supply-will reach the highest level
since 1929. Our imports have in
creased to a much smaller extent.
The following table shows COM
parative figures for our merchan-
disc exports and imports over a
number of years, and for the first
half of this year and last:

Low Point in 1882.

The low point for foreign trade
during the depression was reached
in 1882, while the best mark since
that year was set in 1887. The latest
figure on exports, for June, 1910. was
$3.50 100000 While that total was
some S20,0OO,000 below the peak of
the war set in January, it was more
than 4S per cent above the export
total for June, 1889. AS shown by
the. table our exports for the first
six months of this year gained $685.
100000 over 1899, but our imports
were up only s2O0,000,0OO.
On a dollar basis, the picture is
difficulty is that our exports of
certain things. particularly farm
products, have suffered severely,
while business has doomed in war
materials and products. This war,
so far, has been no such bonanza for
American farmers as the World War
turned out to be-
We have suffered substantial de-
clines in exports of leaf tobacco.
wheat, corn, certain fresh and
dried fruits, lard and hams, and
lately cotton. Some of the big gains
in foreign sales have been in metal
working machinery. aircraft, alumni
mum with this strategic" metal
being delivered currently to England
via airplaner, lubricating oil, iron
and steel in crude form at first and
lately in semi-finished form, tractors
and automotive assembly parts. The
increase in assembly parts has been
more than offset by the decrease in
exports of complete automobiles.
If Britain holds out, our foreign
trade, with minor changes as needs
arise, seems likely to hold to the
course it has taken. But the I'M
speakable alternative would turn
world shipping topsy-turvy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Wheat prices
tumbled about cent a bushel to-
day, establishing new seasonal lows
at levels unequaled here in almost
a year. May corn dropped cent.
Liberal movement of new wheat
in the Northwest, although most of
this grain is being put into storage
for Government loans, resulted in
moderate pressure of hedging sales
in the pit. Favorable corn belt
weather attracted most attention in
that market, although traders
pointed out that the minimum price
on corn in Argentina has been abol-
ished. Argentina has a large ex-
portable surplus and small ship
ments were made this week to Ca

When Swiss Go Mininq

By tne ASSOclated Press.
SION, Switzerland. - Whenever
Switzerland starts mining her own
iron ore or her own coal you can
be sure that there is trouble in
Europe.
Coal mining has once again been
taken up near Sion, to the tune of
about 20 tons a day.
The coal is so poor in grade that
it is only mined when the foreign
supply is menaced, which was the
case during World War No. l and
which is again the case during
World War No. 2.

Canada and Mexico
Still Require No
American Passports

While the United States ruled
recently that after July pass
ports would be required from
Canadians, Mexicans and citizens
Of other neighboring countries,
American citizens may still en-
ter Canada and return without
passport or visa.
While the new United States
ruling is step in checking the
fifth column menace, Canada is
dependent upon the maximum
amount of foreign exchange for
war purchases, and consequently
is encouraging tourist travel, per-
mitting American visitors as much
freedom as in their own country.
The Mexican governments re-
cent ruling calling for passports
to Mexico applies only to foreign
ers who are not citizens of the
