Trade across the Pacific is now re- ceiving special atténtlon of those:en- gaged in our foreign commerce. 1 Whether this is due to the dangers of navigation on the Atlantic or the with- drawal of vessels on the eastern front- age for war service, it'is at least cer- tain that practically all gains in trade now being officially reported occur on the Pacific frentage. A compilation by the National City bank of New York shows that exports by way of the Pacific coast ports in the seven months ending” with July, 1918, show an in- crease of 70 per cent. when compared i with the corresponding months of 1917, L!\-hfle those of the Atlantic ports show a reduction of about 14 per cent.. and those of the northern border ports a loss of 7 per cent. In the imports the gains of the Pacific ports are also striking, showing, an advance of about 30 per cent. r last year, while those of the Atlantic show a fall of about 7 per cent., and those of the border ports are unchanged.. The only frontage which shares the gain of the Pacific coast is that of the Gulf of Mexico, which shows a gain of 20 per cent. in exports, but a slight decline in im- ports, while the Mexican border ports also show a slight gain in both im- ports and exports. ‘Whether any considerable part of this gain in the business of the Pacific is due to a mere disposition of com- merce to keep away from the areas infested by the submarines can be bet- ter determined by a study of the trade with the principal countri€s and grand divisions. In the trade of the United States with Burope, the figures show an actual fall off in imports and ex- ports. In the trade with South Amer- ica the imports show a marked de- cline, but the exports a slight in- crease, while in the trade with Asia and Oceania, both imports and exports show startling gains. The recorded exports to Europe in the seven months are but $2,208,000,000 as against $2,460,- 000,000 in the same months of last year, while the imports from that con- tinent fall from $264,000,000 in the seven months of 1917 to $204.000,000 in the same months of the current year. To Scuth America the gain in exports is- $9,000,000 and the fall in imports $30,000,000, but to Asia there is 4 gain of $34,000,000 in the seven months when compared with those of the same months of last year, while the imports from Asia ‘show a gain of $69.000,000 for the same comparative period. With Oceania conditions are even more striking, the exports to Oceania show- ing a gain of $31,000,000 in th seven from an increase of $50,000.000 over the corresponding period of last year. Imports from Asia show a gain of 25 per cent. and those from Oceania over 100 per cent., while exports to Asia show a gain of 15 per cent. and thoxe to O£eama an increase of over 50 per| i cent. The chief gains in the trade with Oceania are with stralia, New Zea- land and the Philippines.
