PORTLAND export trade to foreign countries reached a total of $3,935,796 In
1903, and for the first time In the history of the port the exports to the Far East
exceeded those to Europe. This was In a large measure due to the remarkable
Increase In the Oriental flour traCe, which was more than twice as large as that
of any previous year. Lumber shipments to the Orient also contributed to the sum
total quite materially. As will be noticed by the summaries at the foot of the
accompanying tables, more than 90 per cent of the exports from Portland to the
Far East were made up of flour, wheat and lumber, all of which was produced
In the state or In that portion of Washington and Idaho that is tributary to
Portland. It Is this distinctive feature of Portland's export trade that makes It so
much more valuable to the city than it would be If the exports were principally
cotton, steel, or similar commodities, which pay no tribute to the Pacific Coast "
ports through which they are cleared, except a mere bagatelle for stevedoring ex
penses. The cargoes cleared- from Portland for the Orient during 1903 were as fol
lows: To the Orient.
