This show attempts to combine
the ingredients of popular enter
tainment with its terpsichorean
revels, its great singing chorus,
fine comedy and the wonderful
lyrics and music by Gilbert and
Sullivan.
This is the same musical comedy
that broke all box office records
in Chicago and New York City
with the exception of some new
ideas that have been added by
Harry Minturn, its director, who
originally conceived and staged
it in 1888.
Included in the company of 80

BRAZILIAN
TRADE UP
1914 Trade Almost Double
1910 CON-
merce

The foreign commerce OF Brazil
during the war years and in 1916
and 1916 is presented in the latest
issue o. the Foreign Trade series,
entitled Foreign Commerce OF
Erazil, 194O-1946'', prepared by the
division of economic information
of the Pan American union.
During the war years total Bra
lillian trade reached new highs,
the 1914 total being almost twice
the 1910 level. AS shown by a
chart and statistical tables, both
imports and exports reflected
sizeable gains in this period with
the export surplus also increasing
from 1910 onward.
In addition to statistics Of total
imports and exports, tables show
ing the origins and destinations of
this trade for a four-year period
together with average annual fig
ures for 1936-1940 are presented.
From these tables it will be seen
that the United States continued
throughout the period covered as
the leading supplier of Brazilian
imports and the leading consumer
Of her exports. The United King
dom and Argentina were also i'm
portant in this trade.
Almost half of Brazil's imports
consisted of manufactured ar
%tic1es, Of which the major part
comprised machinery, vehicles
and apparatus. On the export side
the leading items which Brazil
supplied to the world were coffee
and cotton. Tables are presented
in this study of the commodities
of import and export, together
with countries of destination of ex-
ports.
An analysis of the trade Of Bra
I'll by countries for 1915 and 1916
reveals the temperance in this
trade of many Of the European
nations whose trade with the
Western hemisphere had been cut
off during the war years. Total
trade continued to rise in 1915 and
showed an even more accelerated
gain in 1916.

series OF detailed studies in the

can Republics and will be follow
