There is a great deal said about the
Alaska trade with the United States anc
very tittle about that with the Philippine
islands. , The CastRvut gives the foitow-
ng official statement tfutu u U.!;
Summery of Commerce and
finance for October 1005, issued by the
United States bureau of statistics which
reached this office on last Saturday,
w.tich shows that for the nine month:
ending with October 1905 there was
shipped from the United Suites to Alaska
$12,925,172 worth of domestic merchan
dise, that is things grown or made in tht
United States. For the same perioc
t lere were shipped from Alaska $8 535.-
087 wDrth of things produced in Alaska.
These figures show that the total . trade
domestic ' merchandise ' between the
United States and Alaska for the nine
months of 1905, ending with October,
imports and exports aggregated $21,460.
259. ; 'J ': ,
For the same nine months of 1905
there was shipped $4,859,856 worth of
domestic merchandise from the United
States to the Philippine islands, and for
the same period there were shipped from
those islands to the United States $12.
652.262 worth of things grown and pro
duced there making our trade with those
islands for the nine months ending with
October. 1905. total $17,512,118.
Our trade . with Alaska for the nine
months ending with October 1905 was
$2,186,283 more than for the same
nine months in 1904. For the rune
months ending with October 1905 our
traae witn tne rniiippine islands was
$4,917,118 more than during the corres
ponding nine months in 1 904. '
Erom the above it appears that while
our present trade with Alaska is tome
larger than with the Philippine islands.
that our trade with the Islands is increas
ing at a rate that will soon make it the
more imortant of the two.
