The city council several weeks ago ordered the street to be openad and the papers now filed are the first steps in doing this. Portland's gain of SO per cent in foreign commerce for the year 1920 over the previous year places- this port among the highest in the coun try for percentage of increase, ac cording to a statement issued by the National City bank of New York. The increase in foreien commerce for the entire United States for the calendar year ending December 31, is calcu lated at 8 per cent, based on an esti mate of J13,OOO.OUO,ffuO of foreign com merce for 1920 as against $12,000,000, 000 for 1919. According to the estimate of the National City bank, which was made during December,, exports from the United States for the year were about 8. 000. 000. 000 as against 7. 920,000,- 000 in 1919. and I2,365,00,000 ill the year preceeding the war, while Im ports for the vear are estimated at more than $6,000,000,000, as against $3,904,000,000 in 1919, and $1,894,000,- 000 in the fiscal year 1914. Import Increaae Shown. These increases occur, on the im port side, in ail of the three great groups, "raw materials tor manuiac turing," "foodstuffs" and "manufac tures." The demand in the first half of the year 1920 for raw materials abroad was very large, and the prices were very high. The value of raw material imported for use in manu facturing will be apparently about $1,750,000,000, an increaae of about $250,000,000 over the preceding year. Crude foodstuffs show no material in crease, but in the foodstuffs "partly wholly manufactured," which in cludes the item of sugar, the total is more than double in value that of 1919. Finished manufactures will show a big advance, standing for the ten months ending with October at $757,000,000 against $368,000,000 in the same months of the preceding year. On the export side, the striking characteristics are a big nam in the exports of manufactures, a material ncrease In the value of raw material, an increase in wheat ana otner grama but a big fall off in meatf and dairy products. Finished manufactures ex ported will show a total of over three billion dollars as against about two and a half billions in the preceding year, and the grand total of manu factures of all kinds. Including the group "manufactures tor turtner use in manufacturing," will be over four billions. Raw material for manu facturing which consists chiefly of cotton, will apparently exceed 1918 by about $300,000,000, and crude food stuffs, -which means wheat, rice and corn, other articles of this character, will show an increase of $250,000,000. while foodstuffs "partly or wholly manufactured" show a big fall off and the total for the year will ap parently be only a little over one bil lion dollars against $1,963,000,000 in 1919 which was by far the highest record of exports of this class of foodstuffs. This startling decline in exports of meat and dairy products is illustrated by the fact that bacon ex ports in the ten months ending with October were only 510,000,000 pounds against 1.066.000,000 in the same months of the preceding year; and in other articles a similar decline. Growth Is World-Wide. The growth in our trade occurs. adds the bank's statement, in prac tically all parts of the world. True there is a slight decline in exports to Europe, but a big increase in the imports from that continent. ine value of imports from Europe in the ten months ending with October was $1,078,000,000 against d43,uvu,uuu in the corresponding months of. 1919. The exports to Europe in the ten months were $3,721,000,000 against $4,264,000,000 In the same months of last year, this decline occurring ap parently in meat aj) dairy products, the total exports M meats, most of which normally gcrto Europe, having shown a fall of over $500,000,000 in the nine months ending with Septem ber, though in her other great re quirement manufacturing material the export figures show an increase at over $400,000,000 and nearly all of this increase consisted of material destined for Europe. With the other grand divisions, the trade shows pros perity. To our neiglrbors in North America our exports for the ten months of 1920 are $1,598,000,000 as against $973,000,000 in the same months of the preceding year, and our Imports from them $1,472,000,000 against $9 3.0000,000 in the same months of last year. This increase In our imports from our North American neighbors occurs very largely in sugar at a very high price, and the increase In our exports occurs chiefly in manufactures of all kinds. From South America we increased our Imports about 1 135.000,000. while our exports to that continent also in creased about $120,000,000. From Asia we increased our importations over $300,000,000 and increased our sales to the Asiatic countries as a whole to the extent of about $100, 000,000. The conditions In Japan in the second half of the year have somewhat reduced our exports to thai section of the orient, though to all the other oriental countries there is a marked increase down to the very latest date, and this is true also with reference to Oceania and Africa to which there has been a large in crease In our sales and the corres ponding advance in our purchases therefrom. DRYDOCK POXTOOX IX DANGER. High Wind Makes Moving of Big Craft Hazardous. The movement yesterday afternoon of a section of the new 15.000-ton dry dock of the dock commission from the Cornfoot & Mcintosh plant to a safer mooring ground at the Penin sula mill almost resulted disastrously for the drydock pontoon. The task was finally accomplished success fully, but not until three towboats had exerted all their power to hold the tow against the high wind blow ing across the river from the south east. The pontoon, floating almost upon the surface of the water and with ii.- 'ligh sides towering above the smokestacks of the steamers, caught all the wind that was blow ing. Two more drydock pontoons are scheduled to move from the plant where they were built to the Penin sula mill today, but the movement will be deferred unless the weather moderates. Realizing that the open front of the Cornfoot & Mcintosh plant was an unsafe place to keep these pon toons moored in case a high wind should come up, the dock commission sought permission of the shipping board to moor them at the supply and sales division concentration ware house at St. Johns, but this permis sion was denied by Washington. A safe berth finally was found inside the ballast dock at the Peninsula mill. CITY BOND ISSUE SOLD GOOD PRICE IS REALIZED FOR IMPROVEMENT 6 S.
