OUR EXPORTS TO AFRICA
Greater Than Those to AH South
America.
WASHINGTON, June 21. The expected
Increase In the exports to Africa has al
ready begun. The exports from tho
United States to Africa in April, tho lat
est month for which the details of our
exports have yet been received by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, were great
er than those to all South America, and
were moro" than 50 per cent greater than
those of April In the preceding year. For
the 10 months ending with April, 1D02. they
amounted to $23,556,179, against $22,070,133
in the corcsponding 10 .months of the
fiscal year 1S01, and $16,SS$,2S$ in the cor
responding months of 1S02. The
chief increase of course Is to British Af
rica, which takc9 about So per cent of
our exports to Africa. To British Africa
alone our exports during the month of
April, 1902. were $2,763,833, against $1,817,10:
in April, 1201; and for the 10 months end
ing with April, '1502, were $2i.7CS,G12,
against $18,437,315 In 10 months of 1501, and
$13.1SS,062 In JO months of 1300.
The prospective growth In the com
merce of Africa and the probable increase
in its consuming power with the return
to peace and commercial activity are dis
cussed in a statement furnished to the
British South African Export Gazette by
a leading Anglo-African merchant, who
had recently returned from a tour to
South Africa, a copy of which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau of Statis
tics. In this discussion the British mer
chant In question says:
"With regard to the future of trade,
with the advent of peace, there will un
doubtedly be a great boom all through
the country. A lull consequent on the
removal of part of the military forces
and the refugees may perhaps affect the
trade of Cape Town, which Is, and always
will remain, more or leso local, and con
cerned with the western districts of Cape
Colony; but.no such effect will be relt
elsewhere, for It will be necessarv for
some consiaeraoie time to keep a large
military force In the country, and this
will as a consequence involve a contin
uance of a considerable amount of mili
tary expenditure. Large camps will be
set up at certain points. I have no doubt
as to the certainty of the boom which
will supervene after the war, but my only
misgiving Is that with every one rush
ing In to secure a share. It will be over
done, and a reaction set in.
"As regards the Transvaal, and more
particularly Johannesburg, no one with
his eyes open can doubt of the great de
velopments In mining and commerce
"which He ahead. It is well known that
before the war. many mining properties
were held back by those who foresaw
what was coming and thought It better
to wait until the trouble was over, rather
than risk their chances under the then
unfavorable economic and political con
ditions. Tho canceling of all concessions
and the reduction of the price of dyna
mite will Unquestionably make it easier
to work the mines at a profit, and many
of tho low-grade properties will now be
taken In hand and, what is more, made"
to pay. The chief danger that has to be
feared is that arising from the opening
which will be afforded for the launching
of bogus companies, which can only cre
ate discredit and discouragement for bona
fide concerns.
"Tho immediate future of the Orange
River Colony, although affording many
hODeful Indications Vint? t ui.i. . ...
problems to contend with. The ColonH
is a larming country m the main, andf
ior some urae icr come will suffer from
the depletion of population and the de
struction of property, and as a conse
quence the loss of farming capital. Gov
ernment assistance may do mudh to help
In tho earlier period, but recovery will
be a work of time. Trado In the mean
time will suffer. Rhodesia forms no, ex
ception to the. rest of the country, and
has. irf my opinion, a big future before It
"The question as to which of the ports
on the South and East African seaboards
will secure the bulk of future South Af
rican trado Is, I think, not difficult to an
swer. My previous remarks as to the lo
cal nature of the trade of Cape Town
shows that that port Is out of the reck
oning. The situation of East London and
Port Elizabeth places both of those ports
In a more advantageous position to cater
for the Interior trade than the metropoli
tan port To Durban, however, I think
will fall the bulk of at least the Trans
vaal trade, and that a very great future
lies beforo It is Unquestionable. It Is the
nearest of all the South African ports to
the Rand, and owing to the high rents
ruling in Johannesburg, merchants prefer
to keep" their stocks at the coast In bond.
By this course they save the interest on
the disbursement of money ?or the du
ties, drawing their goods from bond only
as they want them. Delagoa Bay may
offer some rivalry on account of its
illghtly shorter distance and Its through

rgte. and In the future will doubtless make
further progress; but It -will never be
chosen voluntarily by merchant firms as
a placo of residence, on account of the
unhealthlness of the climate, and be
cause It Is a foreign port. Johannesburg
merchants likewise, I should imagine, will
never use It. like Durban, as a placo to
store their stocks at. It will remain pure
ly a forwarding port, and a number of
Arms of forwarding agents may be es
tablished there. English merchants, and,
I should Judse. American merchants also,
will always prefer an English port to a
foreign, and especially a Portuguese port,
on account of the unforeseen administra
tion difficulties which are continually
arising. If, as I think, Johannesburg
merchants will continue to store their
stocks at the ports in preference to re
moving them to Johannesburg. Durban
will be the port chosen for this purpose,
in which case Its future Is settled.
"Of course, the reason for the prefer
ence of Delagoa Bay over Durban by the
Germans Is that their ships, coming down
the east coast, touch first at the former
port. It must also be remembered that
the German through ratgto Johannesburg
via Delagoa Bay has enabled them to of
fer serious competition to British trade
forwarded through Durban and other Col
onial ports; but this Is a matter which our
shipping companies will have, to face by
the institution of similar through rates
via Durban. Thl3, Indeed, Is the only i
way to do it. American as well as Brit
ish vessels come round the coast from
tho we3t, and Durban Is thus their proper
objective rather than the Portuguese port.
Taking South Africa as a whole, the coun
try will go ahead In coming years, and a
big future lies before It. As to the Im
mediate trade outlook, the Impressions
gathered from my visit are distinctly
hopeful, tinctured with tho fear that It
will be overdone."
Farmers Like Oil-Covered Road.
Augusta. (Ga.) Herald.
The work of oiling the roads Is taking
right along with farfners and people who
come to Augusta from the country. Near
ly the whole of last week was spent by
the gang assigned to this work, and the
apparatus In treating the "Wrlghtsboro
road to this new bath. The first experi
ment was made several weeks ago by
Judge Eve at the stockade, but he thought
the experiment had not been given a prop
er test when used under shelter, and de
cided as soon as practicable to get on the
road in tho open with the oil. The exper
iment at the stockade was such a success
that the grand Jury recommended the use
of the oil on the roads hnd the "Wrlghts
boro thoroughfare was selected as the first
to be given the treatment. Several farmers
coming Into the city today over that por
tion already covered say the travel has
been greatly improved. They notice at
once the absence of the dust usual on a
dry, hot day, as this, and say their horses
seem to really enjoy traveling over it.
Where the sun strikes the work, the oil
percolates with surprising rapidity, and In
a couple of days the road Is in good condi
tion for travettog. After the bath the sur
face Is left with a kind of spongy covering,
yet of a nature Into which the tires- of the
vehicles da not sink or cut as might be
expected. The experiment period la prac
tically over now and the new material
will be used on the road Improvement
throughout the county this year.
